Insanely good food. Fantastic service. Very reasonably priced. Fun, buzzing atmosphere. Kid friendly. I've been a regular here for years and I can't say enough about it. read more

Haven't been to 7 numbers in about a year. As I wrote in my last review, this restaurant is one of my faves. I've been coming here for almost a decade. For shit's and giggle's I checked out the Yelp reviews to see if there were any changes. A number of Yelper's gave a low rating due to poor service. Here's my story from tonight: Arrived at 6:30 knowing we would need to be out of there by 8:00. In my mind 90 minutes is enough time to have a good meal, a couple drinks and enjoy the company of good people (in this case, my wife. Ahhhhh). It was pretty quiet when we arrived so we got great attention, ordered a beer and glass of wine and let our server know we would have the family meal ($34 each). All good, great vibes, the salads (3) and calamari came out and was on point. So far so good. Next were the pasta's (3) and they were also as good as I remembered. Well seasoned (some Yelper's commented on this) and very tasty. Our protein, wife braised lamb and me the meatballs, was supposed to be next. Somewhere in here everyone showed up at once. So I get it. Suddenly everyone from the servers to the chefs are now in the weeds. And all I wanted was just a little attention, let me know the next course is coming....but nada. So, at 7:55 I let the waiter know we had to go and we would take the rest of our meal to go, along with the bill. We were having a really good time and then it all went so sideways. We were fine with it and understanding that timing did us in BUT STILL, recognizing the issue and being even a little apologetic would have gone such a long way. Perhaps other Yelper's are right or maybe this was a one-off. We'll try again before making writing this place off. Down to 3/5 stars from 4. read more

Not only is the pasta and fish to die for but they have this dangerously delicious lavender dessert shooter. Oh my gosh, incredible. Other great things: wonderful wine list, great atmosphere (dimly lit, very romantic. An ideal date night, perhaps?), prompt service, open kitchen which I am always a fan of, because you know exactly what your food is up to. Literally can't say enough good things about this place! read more

For its price, 7 numbers delivers incredible values. We had a group of 8 and we went for the family style dinner and everyone was satisfied and filled. We were given a sample of their appetizers, all 3 pastas, and a main per person. I had the lamb shank and it was perfectly done. The environment is definitely on the noisy side as other have mentioned, and the music gets louder as the night goes by. But if you're looking for a fun night out with your friends, this is definitely a great place to be! read more

I would give this restaurent 2 stars as the main issue is that the food was warm. It appeared that the food was already prepared earlier in the day and sitting on a heated tray. It was a surprise that my food arrived within 2 minutes......not even enough time to finish half a bun from a basket of bread that was provided. I would rate this food comparable to what we call an Italian bakery with a hot table! Serving hot freshly prepared food is what I would expect from an Italian restaurant. read more

I've been going here for 10 years so that says something. Yes I can walk there, but it's one of the only restaurants on the danforth I frequent. I'm picky about Italian because I've been fortunate to visit Italy a number of times and gorged on the incredible foods. 7 numbers is more of a casual family place - not formal like Buca. They don't make fresh pasta, but the sauces and meats are pretty close to the good stuff in Italy. The lasagna and meatballs keep us coming back. I never thought I liked veal until I tried these. The servers are friendly and the atmosphere is great early or later in the evening. read more

The food is soooo mediocre and over salted. they have you squeezed into a space and rude service staff. Tried couple times and just have to say they have to get over themselves. pass it by. read more

Excellent night. I've been twice, once with a friend and once with my boyfriend. On both occasions service was excellent and the food divine. Dishes are shareable and can give you the chance to taste more on the menu. The meatballs were amazing as was the calamari. I strongly recommend this place. read more

7 Numbers is one of our favourite Italian restaurants. It is relaxed and completely unpretentious. We have been here with friends, on date nights, and with our toddler twins for dinner. We've always had good service and enjoyed our food. Some of my favourites are the meatballs, involtini, and beet salad. read more

Horrible Service. Smell like a kitchen walking out. Decent food. Not sure I would go back , there are better options on the Danforth.

Mixed experience. On a cold night, we came in and had such a warm greeting from the guy hanging around the front. He set us up with a nice table after a couple minutes wait. Then our server came on the scene - she seemed nice ... but later started vanishing or long gaps of time. Brought white wine instead of red (but switched it no problem). Never brought the second round of drinks. The bill took LONG to arrive and then had a mistake. But then again, the food (giant squid starter, steak, duck, fish, etc) was delicious. I might return - it was cozy and the food was good, but it's that way at plenty of other places. read more

This location is not as superb as the eglinton west location. Menu was severly limited (3 pasta choices - lasagne only meat option for pasta) zucchini side was 5 tiny pieces -- not expecting 5 zucchinis or anything but c'mon, that's not a side ) Staff were lovely and food was great (definitely delicious). But do urself a favour and go to other location read more

Great spot very local the chef and waiters are very nice and welcoming. I had the meatballs amazing. Also calamari as an anti pasta very good over all. read more

Great atmosphere in this place and awesome service. Small, but in a cozy way. Didn't seem like there were many tables for two except for a barstool-like long table section, but a good amount of tables for 4 or more. There was a miscommunication with the reservations but still got seated right away thanks to our very friendly waitress. Prices are reasonable and I love the small plate options. Appetizers are a little small for the price though, but good quality. Everyone I was with enjoyed their food. Nice beer available. Love that they left a container of cheese on the table to put on our pasta ourselves. Definitely would go back and suggest others try them out. read more

My steak was absolutely delicious but I was in the mood for pasta and was very very disappointed. I do not eat veal and I hate mushrooms; all 3 or 4 pasta dishes contained either of the 2. I just wanted a nice tomato sauce. The place is also quite loud. I will not be going back I can get a great steak elsewhere. read more

Went here last weekend to celebrate some friends getting engaged and we had a great time. I had the grilled calamari to start and it was amazing! I was a little disappointed with my lasagna main as I found it was just pasta and meat with very little tomato sauce, cheese or anything else for that matter. Dont get me wrong, it was tasty but maybe just not what I was expecting. The waitress who served us was also very friendly and gave me and my girlfriend getting engaged a free coffe martini. Will definately go back! read more

Very disappointing. Over-priced and over-rated. I had the Baseball cut New York Streak US Choice aged for 6 weeks and R had Roasted Newmarket sexy duck leg cooked with rosemary and white wine on radicchio. Needless to say the steak wasn't great and R's duck leg was not sexy. We felt they should at least have included a starch with the main. Our 1st visit to the Danforth area was a definite let-down :( read more

Very nice restaurant. Decor and ambiance was great!!! The restaurant had a good selection for vegetarians. The chef was accommodating. Our server was very friendly and attentive. Will go back!!!! read more

Just enjoyed a wonderful evening at 7 Numbers with 2 girlfriends. We did the family style meal, where you order a main and the kitchen picks your appetizer, pastas and you pick your main. Oh and then they throw in some vegetables with your mains! We were so stuffed! The best lasagna I have ever had! Highly recommend it. The set/family dinner was $28 per person, awesome deal! read more

A very small, cramped crowded space with no hope of a nice quiet dinner as large groups are seated close to tables for 2. The music is exceptionally loud reminiscent of a night club or lounge, so if you are hoping for a quiet dinner you will be dissappointed. The menu has some interesting and tasty options. The dessert menu was disappointing....not much Italian going on there. Overall, I was so overwhelmed by the cramped and loud space that I did not enjoy my meal as I couldnt wait to get out into the quiet night. read more

It was pretty good. Went with a large group, so the long wait for the food was kind of forgivable. Maybe it's just me, but I'm not really sure what all the fuss is about. I thought it was ok, nothing to complain about, but nothing to rave about either. read more

I will not be returning to this location or recommending this restaurant. Reservations are only taken for parties of 6 or more. This basically says that 'we won't guarantee you a table unless we know we're getting a big paycheque. Otherwise, fight it out with anyone else that is coming in off the street'. I first tried the cuisine at 7 Numbers' Eglinton location about a year ago and dined at the Danforth location during the summer. The food was good but on the basis that my small family and I cannot make a reservation, I will not be returning. We arrived tonight at a reasonable hour and were told the wait would be ~45min or more because the tables were reserved by large parties. The food is good but not good enough for me to tolerate this. With so many other - far more exceptional - Italian restaurants in the GTA that do take reservations regardless of party size, it's a real shame 7 Numbers carries out this principle. Good luck staying in business with this attitude. read more

Came to 7 Numbers Danforth for Winterlicious ($28/person) a couple nights ago. It was myself and two friends. The restaurant is quaint and small but also nice and cozy. It's dimly lit with candles everywhere, definitely a nice romantic spot if you don't mind being around people that are closely seated to you. We were seated on a long table with individuals right next to us - it wasn't cramped per say, but it was definitely close - like the table could clearly hear our conversation and vice versa. All three of us ordered the arancini di riso where are rice balls covered in mozzarella and fried with tomato sauce. It was okay, it's definitely a heavy carb dish so if you're able to stomach a lot, it's a great appetizer if you're hungry. Taste wise, it was decent. The inside, with the cheese oozing out was delicious but if you had more of the outer edges of the balls with just rice and fried dough, it could be a little bland. Following that was the pollo cacciatore which is hunter style chicken thigh. Two portions on the plate with veggies, it was good! If I was to go again, I would order the chicken again, it's a solid dish with the right balance of vegetable sand tomato sauce to compliment the chicken. It wasn't overly cooked nor overly sauced. My two friends both got lasagna, neither raved about it but said it was decent. BUT the best part of the meal was the side of grilled zucchini -- DELICIOUS! Grilled with lemon infused olive oil - definitely stole the show at the dinner. We shared key lime pie and apple crumble cheesecake. All decent desserts, nothing extraordinary but definitely not bad. I would say that if you enjoy tomato sauce, a cozy environment, decent food for a decent price, then give it a try but I also wouldn't go out of my way to return. read more

I had the lasagna and key lime pie. Both were really good and I would definitely come back for the same meal. The staff were friendly and efficient. read more

Very good Italian food. Fresh hand made pasta right in front of you. Everything had great taste and texture. Loved the veal lasagna and meat balls. Great selection and value for the set dinner! read more

disappointing, the food was just barely okay, even bread wasn't great. everything is a la carte so quite pricey for what you get - quality-wise and small portions loud and difficult to carry a conversation if seated next to a table with a group of people Lots of great restaurants in Toronto, but this isn't definitely isn't even close to being one of them. read more

Very friendly and helpful staff. Food, lighting and atmosphere are great and as mentioned before in a review below, they added a little "That's cool" for all the techies (and who is not a techie these days) to their spot - customers can view the menu via iPad! Extreme cool. read more

Would really appreciate 7 Numbers Danforth clearing their sidewalks of snow instead of throwing down a lot of snow.

Go family style! 3 salads, 2 grilled vegetables, 3 pastas, calamari to start, 2 mains - we had the veal meatballs (always) and the veal chop...excellent unintrusive service...about 35$ each with tip, no wine though..... read more

good food, ok service. ipad menus are ridiculous though. they make me feel. . . embarassed.

My wife and I have been going to 7 numbers for years, the food has always been consistently great, the atmosphere is casual, fun and welcoming. We've had romantic dinners, family functions and work parties. Would definitely recommend to anybody looking for a delicious meal! read more

Very delicious food. A dark and inviting atmosphere. It was fairly busy when I went. Some of the tables didn't look as comfortable as the one I was seated at, so my review may have been poorer if I were seated elsewhere. read more

I was really looking forward to eating here but unfortunately it was a let down. It started with a rather stale basket of bread and went downhill from there. The polenta and sausage appetizer was disgustingly oily and lukewarm. The tomato/ricotta pasta was also lukewarm and tasted like something I would have made for myself during my university days. My boyfriend didn't mind his lamb shank, but certainly didn't rave about it either. There's a lot of competition on the Danforth, so we won't be going back. read more

Upon my arrival at 7 Numbers the staff seated the lady in front on me then totally ignored my party of two and tried to seat the party of two that came in behind me . I spoke up and we were then seated . I am a little confused about this Restaurant, the decor and tables give the impression of a home style dining place . You know simple plastic chairs and brown paper on the table . However when the food arrives the portions are tiny fine dining style plus I can only assume the place is a la Carte because the protein portion was just that aside from about eight green peas . If this is the case the staff should have explained this . I was expecting a starch and a vegetable so I didn't order anything to accompany the protein. On the website they say simple southern Italian only five or six ingredients they may want to expand on that cause there was very little of the flavor I would expect from Italian cuisine. Also I ordered the Calimare appetizer it came as a tiny (even for an appetizer) sized portion that was soggy and tasteless in a pool of grease. In the end we quickly ate and went down the street to a Greek place and had a proper dinner . I certain will never attend this place again and certainly will not be recommending it to anyone . read more

I love this restaurant! I know that it has gotten high reviews before and that it is often quite busy, but I still regard it as a bit of a hidden gem! I was there with a friend who really wanted Italian food and we were not disappointed. The vibe was super relaxed for a Sunday night and the serving staff were extremely kind/helpful. To start, we ordered the polenta with sausage and it was fantastic! My friend then got the linguine and the meatballs, adding them together. She was extremely satisfied saying that it was one of the best meals she has had in Toronto. I had the burrata and fungi caldo (hot mushroom) salad. Both were lovely on their own, but great compliments to one another! I am gluten free so the only thing I would have liked was a GF bread option to dip into the EVOO and Balsamic...but that's just me being picky! I am very happy we went there and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for some simple (but extremely delicious) and affordable Italian home cooking. read more

We had a very disappointing meal. I've read wonderful reviews about 7 Numbers, especially in Joanne Kate's 'Top 100", and I was excited to try it, but our experience was not up to par. I went with 2 friends expecting a wonderful meal and we all left underwhelmed and hungry. The only appetizing thing about our meal was the salad. We ordered the Spinach with Duck and Gorgonzola. It was good. Not great. I ordered the Veal braciole as my entrée; the veal was dry and the portions were not as generous as other Italian restaurants I've been to. One friend ordered the pan fried eggplant: it was soggy, plated very poorly with lackluster presentation, and was so covered in tomato sauce that we couldn't taste the egg plant. Another friend ordered the Orecchiette: it was cold and undercooked. We shared the spicy cauliflower side: the cauliflower was cooked well, but it consisted of nothing more than steamed cauliflower with 'authentic' spices... merely crushed red pepper flakes. Finally, our waitress never once came by our table to check on our meal after serving us. Had she had asked us, we would have told her that we were disappointed and were expecting higher quality food and service. In the end, we were extremely disappointed and concluded that a night at home (on Valentines Day) would have been cheaper, tastier, and more friendly. read more
