“My Favourite Pizzeria I go here almost everyday the staff is amazing ? they treat my family very well recommend this location for family dinners the diner is very nice and clean too. thank you all of you guys for being a great location to eat at !“

“Came here on a bakery tour with friends.

Tiramisu cup is excellent. I like that the lady fingers are dipped enough to have a coffee flavour but are not completely mush and have some texture to it.

The cannoli is delicious and packed with that chocolate chip cream. The lemon zest within really comes through and is refreshments.

The chocolate truffle is light and refreshing.

I would come here again and recommend it.

Parking: Smal 10 space parking lot infront of the store.“

“By far the most selection of vegan pizzas in the city and they taste amazing. I especially am a big fan of the vegan pesto base, and the diverse vegan meat alternatives options at hand. the best vegan garlic bread, especially when vegan cheese is added. they are in my top 3 choices and the second place I've come across with vegan pesto- that's a rarity! so many thanks to their great efforts at making amazing vegan pizzas!“

“Kid-friendliness: Brought my 13 and 10 year-old for the first time - they loved it. But they know that restaurants are not a playground. Space is small so kids running around cause problems for staff/servers as well as other dinners. So bring activities to keep smaller kids sitting and occupied is my advice.“

“I found an amazing Hidden Gem of Pizza Hut store just on the corner of Dufferin south & Eglinton, Toronto. The Pizza was made well done and the quantity of ingredients and quality was exceptional. The store staff was very friendly and very professional. I will definitely coming to this location more & more now.
Also I highly recommend this location to everyone.
Thank you so much“

The open kitchen really adds to the environment as well, it is fun to see and hear everything that goes on that is usually behind the scenes.“

Huge thanks to Chef Tony and the team—you transformed an ordinary post-work meal into something truly memorable!“

“I love the service and the atmosphere. Super cute restaurants with amazing servers. However, the food was definitely overpriced, given its portion and quality. I’m a big fan of fine dining. However, the quality was just not up to the standards that I’m used to. Not to say the food was bad necessarily, but it was a little bland.“

“Food is great and reasonably priced ,great drinks and the staff are excellent ,well trained and have a laugh with you .The manager made me a Caesar (cocktail) and converted me …. Will definitely be back“

“This was our first time at the restaurant. We were greeted like valuable clients. Rocco was very hospitable and told us his story. Vince was the perfect host and Mahi gave us such excellent service. The food, it was delicious. My husband had the tagliatelle bolognese and I had the gnocchi al Gorgonzola. My mouth still waters when I think of the flavours.“

“Take out Gluten Free Pizza - taste amazing, the sauce and cheese is perfect - fresh basil and the crust is absolutely beautiful! You can tell care is taken with quality ingredients. As someone with a food allergy it's had to find this kind of great tasting quality food in a pizza. Well done Ciao!“

“What an amazing experience we had for our anniversary at this Gastropub. Unassuming from the outside but the food and service were exceptional.

We started with some fancy cocktails that had the perfect touch of class and theatrics. The lobster roll was stacked perfectly and the Frito Misto had a light batter that was one of the best we’ve had. I will not hesitate to order both again on my next visit. Our main pasta dishes were delicious and did not disappoint either as we had the Rigatoni Carbonara and the Ravioli Porcini and Tartufo. We ended with the Chocolate Lava Cake and the Chefs Famous Bread Pudding that were the perfect end to our meal.

Overall we had an amazing time and we’ll definitely be back. The table side service for the appetizers and desserts were a nice touch with the food being plated for you.“

“Via Allegro has been one of my favorite restaurants for many, many years. In 2022, they changed ownership, but the warm, family-like atmosphere remains as special as ever. Every visit is memorable, and last night was no exception. My girlfriend and I celebrated a milestone, and the staff went above and beyond to make it an unforgettable experience. Our server, Alex, made sure every detail was perfect (it’s the second time we've been lucky enough to have him). From the personalized reservation card on the table to the exquisite wine selection, served at the perfect temperature and topped up at just the right moment, everything was flawless. And, of course, the food was absolutely delicious. Thank you to Alex and Mohamad Fakih for making our evening truly magical. Via Allegro continues to set the bar for exceptional service and dining.“

“Ostaria Giula has the most amazing staff our server was Giancarlo he was super amaziOstaria Giulia hang with great recommendations. He was very knowledgeable about all the food and was able to suggest dishes for food allergies. I was so excited to go to our first Michelin star restaurant to celebrate a birthday and an anniversary. I was hoping to be able to meet Rob Rossi but I didn't just meet him, he was aware of our celebration and he took the time to come and great us .....I am a foodie so I was truly star struck. David Minicucci went above and beyond getting us a perfect table and ensuring we had a wonderful celebration. Thank you all at Ostaria Giulia from the chefs to servers and bar tender and the wonderful sommelier who suggested the perfect wine. We had an amazing time that I will remember forever. BRAVO!!!!!“

“Best restaurant in the city. I've only been here twice but it's always been amazing. If I could make more money, I'd eat here every day. This place is only semi expensive because they do it right. The steak(bistecca) could be a little bigger. Staff is super charming and sweet. I want to marry the hostess.

Vegetarian options: They got vegetarian options

Dietary restrictions: They got vegan stuff

Parking: It's Leslieville so you can find side parking depending on the day. May park a little further if you want free

Kid-friendliness: Not recommended for kids younger than 10

Wheelchair accessibility: No wheelchair accessibility“

“Amazing food! Will be back!“

“It is such a great place - the food is fresh and the specials always interesting and delicious. The owner always hovers to make sure things are being taken care of - it is just like being in a trattoria in Italy.

Green wine list. Very fresh fish and pasta al dente and to finish, their tiramisu is to die for. Highly recommend.“

“Great food great atmosphere 👏🍷“

“Great dinner. Definitely recommended“

“EXCELLENT Pizza! Friendly staff, LOVE their bread!! (it is their pizza dough) the Bread alone was worth the trip to the city! Highly recommended!“

“Awesome Italian Restaurant. Authentic friendly staff. Great lunch or dinner options.“

“Fast pizza with delicious crust. And a really nice staff member named Kashmir. I have lunch for 3 days this week - the pizza I chose is the Danforth (Greek). You gotta eat here!“

“Had a the most amazing time taking our firneds out for dinner here. The food is top notch and absolutely everything on the menu is delicious. We had 4 kinda of pasta, a pizza, some appetisers and a few cocktails (and we all love to share our food) so we tried a healthy mix of everything they have. The Lobster Ravioli and Giardino Pizza especially stood out for us. The Lavender French 75 spritz was also very refreshing.

Our total bill was approx $200 which we found great value for money.

We do not believe in the North American culture of tipping generously for someone to do their job. The server (Makayla) was absolutely lovely and didn't pressure us into doing that. Her recommendations and attentiveness during a busy Friday night were commendable.

Will definitely go there again a hundred times!!

If going on a weekend (eve) most definitely make a reservation :)

PS- the Patio is much better (and cuter) than indoors.“
