“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“

“I have been coming to scaddabush a lot lately because their avocado bruschetta bread is amazing. although my advice is don’t come around 10pm. i get its the end of the night and everyone that works wants to go home.. but please keep in mind people are paying for your food and service. my pasta noodles were chewy and undercooked causing me to not eat my meal. after a good $100 spent, i wasn’t satisfied.
as well as my avocado bruschetta had huge chunks of garlic on it, which i never got before.
other than that, food is good. just go earlier in the day.“

“Discovered through a Google search, taking a chance paid off! We were seeking something a bit unique, and our first visit left us thoroughly impressed.

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

“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.“

“nice restaurant. food was good. my half rack of lamb was good although I have had better at that price. it was sitting in a very salty sauce..the waiter took it back and put my food on a clean plate without the sauce. didn't even offer to pay my espresso for the trouble. a little crowded as well. my amarena ricotta cheesecake was the highlight.“

“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.

“Une petite perle où il est préférable de réserver car les places sont limitées et c'est tant mieux. Nous avons dîne à 4 en famille et tout a été parfait du début à la fin. Un service attentionné y compris pour les tout petits et surtout des plats incroyables. Carte des vins simple et raisonnable avec des bouteilles très bien à des prix tes raisonnables. Bravo et nous reviendrons.“

“Excellent food and incredible, friendly service. Highly recommend.“

“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!“

“Today we celebrated my father’s 90th birthday and there is no better place to celebrate than at Tovico! The food is great, the staff is very professional and make you feel very welcoming. Our guests commented that they would be coming back soon making us feel that they also had a great experience. Thank Riccardo, Tessa, Leo and staff for a great time. See you soon, Mary“

“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.“

“Great food great atmosphere 👏🍷“

“We had a family event last night at their restaurant. I can't stress how great the value is here, and the food quality was top shelf. I have eaten food cooked by some of the best chefs in the world and this was every bit as good. the staff were attentive but not at all intrusive. very accommodating for our large group of 15 people. Their shrimp and calamari platter was cooked perfectly, not at all rubbery, with a divine sauce to dip. Pasta nicely al denté. Calabrese antipasto, nice bread spread. Perfect, and I do mean PERFECTLY, cooked steak, chicken, and sausages. Their pizza is simple but lovely balanced between crisp and chewy. Not too thick, not too thin. Arancini were great. I highly recommend them for your next family event, or just a quiet night out for the family! Thank you to all the staff and the chef for making our family event a success, and we look forward to seeing you again soon!“

“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!!!!!“

“Great dinner. Definitely recommended“

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

“What a charming and cozy spot. Each dish is beautifully designed. We had a pizza that was light and crispy and the salsicchia and gnocchi were unbelievable. 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.“

“Went for dinner with our friends. Excellent food, service and overall atmosphere. The owner Anita, checked in with each table to ensure they were good just like home! Our server Marty was so great and funny, what a personal touch from both him and Anita! Definitely will be back! ???❤️“

“This place is such a hidden gem, truly. Look at the [expensive] prices as a means to pay for the freshest and most quality ingredients, the delectable flavours, and the unwaveringly attentive service. If I could eat this every night I would; we live in the neighbourhood and Gio has become a highlight to see and chat with. His team seems small but mighty and his food is nothing short of impressive. It is the closest we have found to authentic after travelling through parts of Italy a while back. Bravo to this whole team and Gio for his ultimate charisma and dining experience!“

“Food is always amazing!! The service is great, friendly it is like you are a part of the family with every visit! A MUST EXPERIENCE!!“

“I recently visited this Italian restaurant with a friend for dinner, and I was thoroughly impressed. The portion sizes were generous, the service was excellent, and the highlight of the meal was, without a doubt, the crème brûlée. Made in-house, it was absolutely amazing—easily the best I’ve had in a while!

Everything I tried on the menu was delicious, and the staff went above and beyond by modifying a dish I requested—it turned out perfectly.

If you’re in the neighborhood and craving Italian food, I highly recommend checking this place out. I’m already looking forward to my next visit, especially for that incredible crème brûlée!“
