Amazing ambience and incredible food. Staff were so friendly and helpful (especially choosing which wines would pair best with meal). Can’t wait to go back. Feel lucky to have a gem like this in the neighbourhood!
Amazing food! There’s never a bad dish, the pasta is elevated comfort and the wagu beef was ten out of ten! Can’t wait to go back after the covid lock down.
Food was delicious and very personable service.
The waitress was very helpful and sweet! She made sure we were taken care of and the food was perfect! Great atmosphere and soft lighting!
Spent a Friday evening at Osteria Rialto and it was great. Their outdoor patio is warm and the ambiance is great. The food was amazing. We basically tried everything on the menu and all was fantastic.
Yum. Beautiful patio, which is serving them well with covid. Excellent service, delicious food. Neighbourhood gem.
But it is a little pricey.
Osteria Rialto will provide you with scrumptious Italian food, a well rounded wine list, and most importantly, warm hospitality. We will be back!
Fantastic experience start to finish. Classic Italian dishes done on a level I haven’t experienced in Toronto. Pasta cooked perfectly, vegetable dishes perfectly fresh and delicious, and one of the best desserts in the city (the chocolate tart, I highly recommend it with the Etruscan amaro). Their caponata served in a roasted eggplant was probably my favourite dish and a perfect example of creativity within a still classic mode of Italian cooking. A truffle pasta was decadent without a hint of cloying truffle oil that usually ruins such dishes, but a vegetable focused macaroni dish was equally excellent with fantastically textured pasta in both. Wine offerings were great with both a good selection of classic wines and some surprised for an Italian place, like a deep Burgundy selection and some phenomenal Loire chenin by the glass. Can’t wait to come back.
So great we immediately booked reservations for the following week upon finishing our meal.
Nice ambience and service was good! The meal was delicious as well
Great service from knowledgeable wait staff. Delicious dishes and tasty cocktails. Highly recommend.
Second visit and was still amazing. Thanks. Everything was so delicious! Will go back for sure.
Great food, seasonal menus, great cocktails, great wine list. Overall excellent place for a date, or drinks with a friend.
We had a wonderful time celebrating our anniversary. The food was superb and we found the appetizers very original. We look forward to another outing. The patio was very comfortable for a chilly evening. Susan
Went for my partner’s Birthday with another couple and had a fantastic experience on their beautiful covered and heated patio. The bread and eggplant dish were standouts as well as the mushroom pasta.
Love the staff. Amazing service and food! Beautiful patio.
Incredible food, service was very friendly and helpful, they were very considerate of covid rules and kept us feeling safe while still allowing us to enjoy a night out. Would definitely return and recommend.
A really great restaurant. Food is amazing. A great choice of wine and the place is cozy and beautiful even if it is in the patio. Service is perfect. I strongly recommend.
We had a lovely evening with wonderful food and drinks! We will go back again.
We had the loveliest evening at Osteria Rialto. Delicious food from start to finish, amazing ambience (felt like we were in Europe!) and great, friendly service. Also the espresso martinis were unreal. Perfect way to end an amazing meal.
By far one of the best dining experiences in Toronto. They make you feel like COVID isn’t even a thing. The food, drinks and service was outstanding. For a brief moment that night, you felt like things were normal again.
Could be the best patio in the city. Heaters above, behind and below. Oh, and the food is terrific.
Amazing patio dining! We didn’t feel the autumn chill at all, food and service exceptional! Thank you!
Amazing atmosphere, food and staff. I would recommend to anyone!
Price point might be a "little" high, especially the wine.
The food was well portioned, well thought out and delicious. There is a good variety on the menu without too much on the menu - meaning, they do a smaller amount of items very well.
The considerations for staff safety and Covid protocols were excellent.
Very friendly service.
great time!
Beautiful place, excellent service and wonderful food. Looking forward to returning
The other night I had dinner at the bar and it was a 12/10 experience! The bar seating was comfortable and the staff were all so warm, welcoming, and engaged. The Wagyu Flatiron Steak was absolute perfection and the wine list had excellent value. I'd highly recommend the Barbera and Chenin! Thanks, Rialto team for such a great experience, I'll definitely be back soon!
Nice bar/restaurant. The menu is very small and niche so check you like something prior to going. The food was fresh and tasty, I just wish there were more options for me. Food and drinks were pricey for what it was though, not great value by any means but a classic Toronto standard.
Squash ragu was amazing.
Next time I'll deffinetly be getting dessert as well.
Portions were more than generous and definitely could be split between two persons. Offering half orders of salads or mains would be a good idea.
Amazing food and service
Great covered/heated patio! Food was great. Would recommend!
Exceptional food quality and ingredients combined by an excellent imaginative chef.
This is not your run of the mill Italian restaurant. Prepare to have your taste
buds rejoice!! Staff is genuinely caring. Very safe to eat here on the patio which
has a retractable roof. Everyone follows covid rules.
It was a delight to eat here.
Recently game here with a group of 9 for a birthday. Crazy good value with the set menu - there was SO MUCH food. A bit of a limited wine list but overall solid experience.
I love this patio
Enjoyed the atmosphere and the food was on par with some higher end Italian restaurants. Great value as well.
Amazing food. All of it was fresh and amazing. Great service too!!!
Great quality italian food in a lovely atmosphere. Friendly, fantastic service!
Went for our anniversary. Ambiance, food, service were all fabulous. Look forward to dining there again.
