• Italian • Yorkville
Booked 41 times today
Osteria Giulia sprung to life in our imaginations as a tribute to Italian traditions of the past. We wanted to create one simple, beautiful thing. Somewhere outside of your busy life, outside of your surroundings, outside of time. An environment, an experience, an entire evening. Osteria Giulia is intimate, warm and familiar. We’ve revelled in her every detail. We’ve established a rarified menu focusing on Northern Italian cuisine and delicate coastal, Mediterranean flavour. Giulia is a new imagining of what an Italian restaurant can be. It always was the place of our dreams, the reason for our collaboration, and the culmination of—and conduit for—our collective passion.

Price: Expensive
• Bistro • Entertainment District
Booked 27 times today
Opened in 2017. Michelin-recommended since 2022."We first imagined Aloette to be the perfect diner that we’d want to dine in – a menu with a great burger paired with a fantastic and fun wine list, a long row of bar stools facing the bar and the kitchen, and an energetic atmosphere accented with an old school hip hop playlist. The buzz of the dining room mirrors the energy of the street on Spadina Avenue; the dining room itself mimics a train’s dining car. It’s kind-of-a-bistro and kind-of-a-diner with an internationally inspired menu which is representative of the diverse cultures in Toronto.Brunch at Aloette was something we said we’d never do. But the city kept asking and we’re glad to be a new staple in the Queen West neighbourhood for mimosas, chicken and waffles, and piping hot coffees.

A photo of Bar Vendetta restaurant
4.6
Exceptional(527)
Price: Expensive
• Contemporary Canadian • Little Portugal / Dundas West
Booked 28 times today
Bar Vendetta distinguishes itself in a space that had previously been a fairly iconic restaurant, The Black Hoof, with a beautiful (and imposing) Douglas fir ‘glass canopy’ and a completely different, 70s colour scheme, modelled (very loosely) on Jen's teen basement bedroom in Scarborough. Nothing says 70s like brown, orange and cream! We didn’t want it to scream ‘Italian restaurant’ because frankly it’s only Italian-ish, using the philosophies of Italian cooking with locally available ingredients and a strong devotion to seasonality. Our pastas all made in house, by long-time chef, Annalisa Latavo and our front of house team is simply a dream! The sort of secret treehouse-feeling back patio is hugely popular in the summer, but we think of it as the perfect restaurant for a colder evening, cozy for tucking into a beautiful plate of pasta, with one of your favourite songs playing while you have a very nice Italian red.

    Food was top notch every dish. little interesting twist on what you've probably tried elsewhere. The backyard patio is delightful and definitely a plus ,i ndoors in the dark room that they have during the summer would not have been fun. Plus it was very noisy and tight. The patio is airy on a beautiful evening. As for the service, it was what I would call charmingly nonchalant. Sometimes it would be good. Sometimes it wouldn't. Sometimes they forgot something. Sometimes they didn't. Not a big deal cuz we were having a good time. But if you were in a rush it would drive you a bit crazy. The last time I was at Sonny's Chinese was about 18 months ago and I recall it being so so. The food has improved immensely. Is the quality of the choices. The highlight was definitely the whole fish deboned crispy on the outside tender on the inside..

    A delightful experience from start to finish. Our waiter was welcoming and made excellent recommendations. The food was absolutely delicious (strawberry salad, burrata with caviar, pasta with beef, cod, side beans with tomato, tiramisu, rhum baba) from start to finish. As were the cocktails and wine. Wish it were easier to get reservations.

    Incredibly innovative cuisisne. The ability to tap into all the flavor profiles of every ingredient is amazing. The “meatballs” were full of flavor and the red sauce excellent. The angnolotti and tortelli were exceptionally full of fresh flavors.the garlic mushrooms are a must have.
