The green curry with shrimp was absolutely delicious. We thoroughly enjoyed the great service, and the free shots for our birthdays.

Toronto’s oldest and still greatest place to eat! Thrilled to see it hasn’t been closed/replaced by a condominium tower like the rest of the area. The staff and service at The Pilot continue to be fantastic as ever! And the variety of fabulous food that’s available is sure to please anybody! A must visit! Thx. Peter

Welcome to Stelvio Toronto, a standout destination for exceptional Italian food. Specializing in Northern Italian cuisine, we deliver a fine dining experience that rivals Toronto's best Italian restaurants.

Adorned with lush greenery, Stelvio's ambiance perfectly complements its menu, making it an ideal location for a romantic dinner or a cozy family gathering. With its warm and inviting ambiance, Stelvio Toronto is the ideal location for your Toronto restaurant reservations. Experience Italy, right here in the heart of Toronto.

The rapport with mixologist and chef were excellent. Cocktails were creative and delicious. The appetizer, main, and side dishes were prepared and presented very nicely. Everything was very tasty. A standout dish was the beef cheek croquettes. This was the second dining experience at the Rockwell for the four of us, and it will not be the last.

The food was fantastic and the service was absolutely SUPERB! Could not have asked for a better place for girls night out. Loved the live music later in the evening, not too loud, not too quiet. Really outstanding place to eat and hang out!
