The Difference is Our Pizza

Born under the golden Calabrian sun, amidst the mountains of the Mediterranean, our pizza dough recipe has been lovingly cherished for over a century. Generation upon generation shared its perfection before it made the long journey to Canada, in the care of mrs. Rosina taverniti. Since then, we've been doing rosina proud, cooking out pizzas in stone ovens just like they did back in calabia all those years ago. And it's made all the difference our deliciously thin curst stays firm and crispy, all the way to the last bite. From our classic margherita to our unique gorgonzola, our old-school calabrese-style pizzas have made us proud since day one. And we think rosina would agree. Enjoy!

Cocktail had no liquor. Done in 1 small sip. $10 Campari Not the same quality and taste quality as Taverniti on college. Really disappointed with the staple items. Not for us. We’ll stick with college location. Been going there for years, we couldn’t get a reservation at college and tried this location. Very very surprised that about how different the taste was. Nothing fantastic and left frustrated.

I felt as if my dining experience was very rushed. I am not sure what the reason was-- whether my friend and I did not order enough (we ordered three mains for two people), or if it was because of other reasons... but regardless, I did not feel like I was welcome to stay and chat, while other tables were fine to stay as long as they liked without being bothered during their meal as much as my friend and I were. Even when we still had food on the table, they asked if we wanted our food boxed for takeout... That was the moment where I felt truly rushed. There were a couple of tables available, and no other guests waiting at the door for tables either... I just couldn't understand what the rush was. The food was okay, not bad but not exceptionally delicious. In the end I paid with cash, they left to put away my cash, just to come back empty-handed and I was asked how much change I would like back, which I also found really odd. I would have preferred to receive all of my change back and then decide on how much I would like to leave behind myself. I would have tipped regardless, but it just felt like they did not trust me to do so if they had given me all my change. All in all, an ok dining experience. Would not come again.

All dishes were fresh and delicious, portion sizes were great for the price, and drinks were tasty. Service was outstanding - our server was amazing, and all the staff we interacted with were very friendly and knowledgeable. We will definitely be coming back soon - grazie!

This is the best Italian restaurant in Toronto! They have real fresh authentic Italian food, it feels like you are transported to Italy! Giovanni the server always takes good care to give you the best service and personal touch! Their burrata is perfect and the Funghi pasta is so fresh. I also highly recommend the seafood linguini or the Diavolo pizza. I've been here so many times and have never been disappointed. It's a neighborhood gem in King West, very cute intimate atmosphere without all the hype.

Food was mid. Wine was great. Bolognese was seasoned with way too much salt. Like it was just pure salt. Had high hopes. Atmosphere was very nice. Seems they focused way too much on ambience instead of the dishes being served. Service was good. Replaced the cutlery throughout the meal. We were sitting and eating and the waiter asked us to finish the last couple pieces of calamari before he removed the plate. We were mid conversation when he asked and it caught us off guard. He took the plate but it still took the food a bit before it came out. We could have easily finished it on our own time. Overall the staff were amazing, they called an followed up on my review. Will be headed back to see how much better it is. Customer experience is a 10/10 for the follow up. Giovanni is amazing.

This restaurant, while having good service, served terrible food. The food lacked flavour and was one of the worst dinners I’ve had out this year. We tried to order dessert to chase the pasta and even that was bad. I went home to eat a grilled a cheese sandwich to try and forget about the meal, yet here I am 4 days later reliving the trauma.
