    The mushroom pizza tastes good, drink is pretty good as well. The place has a nice atmosphere too

    A modern Italian restaurant in the heart of downtown Toronto. Came here with a few colleagues for a bite before a holiday party we were having. Upon arrival you can do coat check which is always a nice touch at restaurants so that you're not crowded at your seat with your jackets, especially during winter. Here's what we got: Italian Diaspora 5/5 - Amaras Espadin Verde mezcal (subbed tequila), Aperol, passionfruit, lime, soda. This was refreshing and a great drink to hav. House Focaccia 4/5 - A great sharing item for the table. Good but nothing too special and remarkable about it. Soft bread with a crusty exterior. Served with olive oil, topped with sea salt Provolone & Pear Arancini 5/5 - I'd say this was great. It was arancini served with a drizzle of burnt honey, rosemary, and sea salt. Anything fried is always a great idea. Cappellacci Manzo 4/5 - A good dish that is hearty and meaty. Was missing some sort of umami and flavouring to it in my opinion, but was still a solid dish to have. Overall, food was good and service was great. I wasn't necessarily blown away with anything though. Still a great choice to check out in the downtown Toronto area.

    Fabulous experience and stellar find thanks to Yelp. I was in town on a work trip and had the pleasure of dining with a few colleagues. After browsing Yelp for a restaurant near our office, I stumbled upon this spot and quickly mad a reservation for four. The space is dimly lit, making it slightly romantic and cozy inside. We were seated at a large comfy booth which was plenty of space for us. The service started out great and remained that way through our entire meal. We started out with cocktails and I opted for a glass of wine while the others ordered cocktails... all of which were stunning. We also started with a few appetizers. The house focaccia with olive oil and sea salt was light and fluffy and the provolone and pear arancini was delicious. Our entire table could have made a meal out of those alone. Very unique, too. For my entree I ordered the butternut squash ravioli and it was devine. The sauce was very creamy, the pasta was cooked perfectly, and the sage and parm dusted on top was a nice touch. I ate every single bite and could have kept going, it was so good. The others at the table all had great things to say about their dishes and we all agreed this was a wonderful restaurant. If you're looking for a nice restaurant to celebrate, go on a date, or even just want to step out on the town with friends, you can't go wrong with Amano Trattoria. Thanks for a great time!

    I really enjoyed the food and the ambiance of this restaurant. If you're looking for a nice out in Toronto and craving some pasta, I would suggest this :) First impressions was that it was fancy. My party of four booked reservations, which I recommend, due to the fact that by the time we were there after an hour, the place was packed and busy. Upon arriving, they took my coat and gave me a placeholder number to give back in exchange for my coat back. The service was also amazing. Water was refilled without ever having to ask and the servers made sure to check in on us every couple minutes. The food also came out quite quick. The place is kinda quite dark, so if you're looking to take pictures it might be quite difficult. I ordered the pomegranete no'hijto and the pappardelle al funghi e tartufo pasta and loved both! The drink hit the spot and the pasta was just so flavourful. Would definitely be coming back if I'm around the area.

    Tried this restaurant for Valentine's day. Cute and fancy interior. There was a fixed menu, which was good. The service was very slow because of how busy and overly packed it was. Took over an hour for the food to come.

    Front: truffle salad  Left: beef carpaccio  Right: aranchini

    Tried their dinner summerlicous menu with a few friends. I got the Truffle Salad as the starter, chicken as the main and tiramisu for dessert. The salad was nice and refreshing but I would say the Beef Carpaccio and Arancini were a better choice. I really enjoyed my chicken, it was juicy and flavourful. My friends ordered the Grilled Sea Bass and thought it was a bit fishy. I enjoyed the tiramisu, however I thought the cream to lay finger ratio was off, resulting in the dessert tasting too creamy. Overall, I'm not sure if I would come back at the $55 price point.

    Wowowowowoww!!!!!! This place is amazing!!!! Idk if the people working here are making millions but everyone acts like they are!! The service is sooooooo good!!! Everyone was so friendly! Like genuinely nice people. I mean everyone from the hostess to the person that brought out our food! Even other servers that walked by were nice! Maybe that's the norm in Canada, I live in America. Back to the food, my friend picked this place, and I wasn't sure I wanted this style food but boy was I wrong! Everything was amazing! I do mean everything!!! The food was incredible idk what I was even eating but I loved it! And the dessert was otherworldly! Idk this is the place to be! I recommend this place 10000 percent! Also the vibe is really cool and chic! And the bathroom has a fantastic selfie mirror!!!!!

    Osso Bucco (veal shank)

    Since the pandemic started, I have been pretty removed from the downtown food scene. So I was excited to try Amano for a intimate company dinner. The restaurant was pretty busy for a Thursday night in early December. We had a bunch of appetiziers to share including the arancini, bone marrow, truffle salad and fungi pizza. The stand out appetizer was the truffle salad, which consist of baby gem lettuce, truffle vinaigrette and pecorino. It was a simple dish but the truffle flavour really stood out. For the main, I ordered the osso bucco which is the braised veal shank served on a bed of creamy polenta, topped with shaved horseradish and gremolata (parsley based topping). The veal shank was fall of the bone, but not quite melt in the mouth. It had a slightly rough texture. The polenta was creamy and went well with the gremolata flavour. My colleague had their tomato based pasta and added their housemade burrata. She loved their burrata!

    The service here was great! The server was kind and helped us out with all the details we wanted to know about our food. We ordered a series of different items - ranging from the pizza, pasta and main dish with quail - all were delicious and hit the spot. The food was all presented visually attractive and lives up to the flavours it provides. We were all hungry hippos so we ordered desserts to fill us all up. The restaurant was also beautiful designed and gave a sense of luxury when you went in, defining fancy . I recommend this place for special events or a beautiful place to celebrate at!

    Great food and service. Highly recommend the family style meal for a group. Chill ambiance

    If you're looking for a restaurant with a fresh delicious approach to Italian food, you should check out Amano Trattoria, a new Italian restaurant that opened up steps from St Lawrence Market. It is the newest restaurant of similarly named restaurants in Upper Canada Mall and Union Station. Limited paid street parking is available outside of the restaurant. There is also a Green P parking garage just south of the restaurant off of the Esplanade. I love the vibe of this place. Dim but moody romantic lighting, upscale casual feel. There are a variety of seating areas including booths for 4, tables for two, longer tables for larger parties, as well as a more private room that can be curtained off towards the back. The bar occupies a prominent place at the centre of the restaurant, with a screen playing the movie Life Is Beautiful in the background. Amano Trattoria would be a great place to go on a date or hang out with friends. I made reservations a day in advance for my friend and I to dine on a Wednesday evening. After checking for proof of vaccination, we were each seated at a booth for two. The menu includes small bites, appetizers, pasta, main entrees, and also features pinza. Pinza is an oval shaped, hand pressed pizza made from all-purpose flour and rice or soy flour. Our server Luca recommended the Bologna Pride ($18): mortadella pizza with pistachios, fior de latte, and mortadella. The pinza was light, slightly creamy, with a savouriness from the mortadella that was unlike any deli sliced mortadella I'd ever eaten before. The mortadella was thinly sliced and I appreciate that it was not salty. The crust was crisp perfection and I liked how they provided pizza scissors for easier slicing. The pistachios imparted a textural contrast and nuttiness. I really enjoyed the pinza as a crisp and fresh alternative to traditional pizza. We also ordered the mussels tagliolini ($16) which had a light white wine, garlic, and chili based sauce where the mussels flavour shone throughout. The noodles were freshly made, and the dish overall was quite light. I enjoyed the texture that the pangratatto added to the dish. Wine prices are a bit steep. But our two dishes plus a glass of red wine came to $56 plus tip which I thought was more than reasonable for the quality of the food we had. The next day, I'm still thinking about the wonderful experience at Amani Trattoria and am looking forward to going back to try more of their delicious dishes.

    Dine here! Amazing service, ambiance and food. Wandered in here after not wanting to fight traffic at rush hour. Sat at the bar, the seats are extremely comfortable, and all the staff is so warm & attentive. We had a sampler appetizer that was recommended as a special. Everything on that board was divine! Had a delicious pasta, salad and breaded pork chop! All the dishes were flavorful, hearty and so well done. I'm craving the menu now! Definitely check this wonderful italian restaurant out.

The kind, attentive service was outstanding, the food exquisite, and sitting outside in the flower rimmed quiet patio made the ambiance just what we wanted. We had dinner there 3 out of the 5 evenings of our trip, it was so outstanding!!! And, we were welcomed warmly each night by Khalid, making us feel like VIP's! His menu suggestions & wine choices were perfect! And my sincere compliments to the Chef who prepared our fine appetizers, breads, pasta, and dessert. They deserve 5 stars! Truly excellent!!

There is an upstairs balcony seating but I've never sat there. During warm weather, there is plenty of roadside outdoor seating too. This is my fourth time here but I never wrote a review fir the restaurant before. We ordered the following: 1. Shrimp Perno (daily special $6/shrimp). Jumbo Shrimp sautéed in garlic, white wine, tomatoes, scallions, and finished off with a shot of perno liquor. 2. Rack of Lamb (daily special $59.95). Four pieces of lamb in a rack, with a rich portion wine reduced sauce, that has a touch of mint to it, and Penne Pasta in a tomato rose sauce. The table bread was really good. The crust was crispy but the inside was fluffy. The soft butter that came it was so tasty. The bread was perfect for dipping in the sauce that came with the shrimp. We asked for a second basket of bread and they put two loafs in the second basket. It was too much so they were willing to let us take it home. The shrimps were definitely jumbo. It was so filling. Two pieces (per person) were good enough as an appetizer. The shrimps were perfectly cooked. We requested the lamb be cooked medium rare. It was definitely medium rare. It was juicy and did not have a gamey taste. It tastes great. The pasta was perfectly al dente. The tomato rose sauce was really good. They offered to grind parmesan cheese and pepper so we got both. There is free WiFi. The restaurant is wheelchair accessible. There is paid neighbourhood street parking and paid parking lots. Review 2025-187

This restaurant came up in my search as one of the best Italian restaurants in the yorkville area so of course I had to give it a try. I was looking at reservations online and it was completely booked so I just tried my luck as a walk in for 1 and the hostess was incredibly sweet and got me seated. I ordered a glass of wine, the beef carpaccio and the cavatelli. Everything was absolutely delicious, BUT the service was incredibly lacking. The carpaccio came out relatively quick, but after that... silence. Not once did anyone come to check in on me, and I was sitting there for at least 30 minutes before finally flagging g down my server to ask about the status of my entree. After that it came out almost immediately. For this seemingly nicer restaurant in one of torontos most upscale neighborhoods, I had high expectations for this restaurant all around. I definitely recommend the food, can't say I recommend the experience.
