  Came here last week for the first time for dinner for a girls night out.  It wasn't too busy on a Friday night but I would still recommend that you make reservations since the restaurant isn't too big.
  
  We got quite a few dishes for sharing so that we can try more dishes.  We were really impressed with how flavourful everything was and the portions were pretty big.  We started with the beef and octopus carpaccio and these two dishes were amazing.  I'm definitely not going to share the beef carpaccio next time!   We also got one of the daily specials, braise beef with polenta and rapini.  The portion was really generous and the beef was so tender and tasty...just perfectly done!  We also got a pasta dish which was only okay.
  
  Overall, we really enjoyed the food here and the service was great.

  We came here for lunch last week. The place is nice and packed. The food is a bit pricey for portions but the food is delicious.
  
  I ordered Cavolo salate with chicken, and to my surprise, the salad arrived warm with a side chicken-leg that was mostly deboned except for the tip of the drum. That was a new one. I was not told beforehand that it will be so, would've been nice to know it won't be a traditional salad.
  
  The chicken was really juicy and tasty, and the way they deboned it is a work of art. You are slicing into it and expecting to hit a bone, but there was none. The salad was warm baby kale, spinach, pickled heirloom carrot, radish, shaved apple, and carrot purée sauce on top.
  
  The salad was simply 4-6 half-fork bites, a sampler-size portion for $14 plus $11 for the chicken leg.
  
  Everything else ordered on the table looked amazing and everyone loved what they got. The table service was prompt and friendly.

  Review for Winterlicious!
  
  For Winterlicious this year I wanted to try a smaller, perhaps lesser known restaurant to see if I could discover a new hidden gem. And yes, I'm happy to report that it was a resounding success! Even after frequenting Italian dining places so often, this little homely spot tucked away in midtown Toronto stood out (in a very good way).
  
  I think one of the greatest fears of the 'Licious event is that the quality (and quantity) of the food on the special menu would be largely inferior to the regular menu. Definitely not the case here! From the moment the first course came out, I was impressed by how well each dish was presented - and the taste did not disappoint either. The beef carpaccio in particular was quite well done, with all of the ingredients on the plate complimenting one another wonderfully. Everything else exceeded expectations, from the salmon to the pasta to the delicate desserts - the food was simply delicious, filling, and there were positive remarks all around the table. :)
  
  Service was absolutely amazing. Our waitress was probably one of the most attentive I've ever had. She patiently explained the items on the menu, checked up on us several times to see how we were doing, and always refilled our water glasses before they became empty...even though the water jug was literally there in front of us. The timing of everything was impeccable - just the right amount of time to consider the menu without having to wait for our orders to be taken, dishes came out just quickly enough while still letting us digest after each course, cutlery and napkins were replaced promptly, and we were never rushed for anything. To top it off, the decor and environment were beautiful, with high ceilings, pretty table setting and plates, comfortable spacing and seats...overall, it was a great experience.
  
  Still a week left for Winterlicious! I rushed this review out so if anyone is looking to participate in the event (or wants to try a new Italian restaurant), please consider this place! :)

  Delicious! Came here for the 2019 winterlicious.
  
  The choices we had sounded all delicious and was very hard to decide. Everyone ordered something different and each dish tasted fantastic.
  
  Staff were incredibly friendly and attentive!
  
  I would highly recommend and will definitely return
  For a work lunch again!

  Folks we have a winner here for pizza. With the authentic Italian pizza scene heating up in Toronto for a few years this place hits the 850 degree mark in my book for the best Italian pizza in Toronto!
  The dough is cooked just to the right amount of crisp, the sauce doesn't overwhelm with sweet or sour notes, the cheese and other ingredients are spot on.
  Now for some background I recall my only exposure to this spot was I had a cappuccino here eons ago and the place was much smaller and they had a dark cozy feel. I made a mental note to visit them but it never came to fruition.  Now they have expanded and the decor has changed to an airy portofino look (blue tiles substituting for the Italian Riviera). The service is decent and their non pizza offerings looked enticing as well. I will be back for the pizza for sure and might even try the tasting or prix fix.
  4.5 stars for the pizza.
