    From the outside, this reataurNt looks unassuming. I walked by thousands of time and didn't realize it was a restaurant. I keep seeing a sign outside that says closed for private function. Turns out it's quite popular for some wedding reception (got a small courtyard) So we finally came here last week and the inside was very spacious. The tables were not crammed tgt so you have a lot of space to walk. They use very basic wood furnitures and exposed beams. Seems to have a full bar. Super large paintings on the wall, which really is quite striking in effect. Service was friendly and professional, and made good suggestions. We were not disappointed. The comes with olive oil and balsamic vinegar instead of butter. Wish more restaurants have this option. The pasta tasted very fresh so I guess it's that it's house made. The portion is just right so there's no worry about carbohydrates overload

    Apple cake

    Came here for the 23$ winterlicious lunch with a friend. I started with the chicory salad. The portion size was very generous. My friend got the tomato fennel soup and said it tasted good but lacked fennel flavor. It tasted like an excellent tomato bisque. We both got the veal shoulder. The hunk of meat was about the size of my fist and was extremely tender. The polenta it came with had a crunchy exterior and a crumbly center. The accompanying carrots provided some sweetness to offset the savoryness of the veal. Both desserts were good - the calfouti was fruity, not too sweet. The apple cake also tasted great but the caramel was a bit strong and masks the apple a bit. For 23$ per person, this place is a deal. I'll definitely come back to try dinner. The restaurant has a barn feeling to it and the staff were all very attentive and polite.

    Pizza was interesting but the fries was just okay.

    Great food and friendly service. We usually go to other resturant on the main stripe. We suddenly discover this resturant when we had coffee in bricks bakery. The food is canadian. We ordered pizza and a beef tenderloin as main course. The pizza was interesting with new combination. Fries come with the pizza wasn't too good but not bad. The beef tenderloin was cooked in the right doness but the portion is quit small.

    This is a really nice restaurant, I'm not sure how we've missed it all the times we've been to the Distillery. Super friendly staff and great with kids. We were two couples with a toddler each. Both kids loved their meals, and we did too. Dessert was yummy too. Would definitely return. #distillerytoronto #torontoeats #barleelounge

    Archeo is easy to miss when you are visiting the Distillery District and not specifically looking for it - even though it is right at the main gate entrance to the district, the exterior of this restaurant is so low key that it can easily be mistaken as a gift/clothing shop of some kind. If you do give them a try, you'll find that it is quite a solid restaurant with very reasonable prices given it's at a touristy location. The restaurant has a casual, rustic Italian Trattoria look and feel to it. Service is prompt and delightful. Unlike other restaurants in the area, this place does not have a huge menu selection, but it is well-rounded and thoughtful. With me and 3 other companions, we were able to sample pretty much all of the appetizers and most of the secondi main dishes. The food here is contemporary Italian, so anyone who comes here expecting to taste classic home style Italian cooking would probably be disappointed. Presentation of the dishes here are great, and I found the flavours very interesting. Dishes we had for the evening: - Antipasti with local & house cured meats, housemade pickles, ferments, mustard and cracker - Cannelloni with Chianti braised rabbit, charred carrot puree, and burnt cucumber infusion - Fresh local greens with house ricotta and elderberry caper - Fritto Misto (Maitake mushroom, olive ascolone, dandelion and burnt cucumber emulsion) - Flatiron steak with potatoes, creme fraiche, beet, juniper and glace de veau (this was perfectly seared and was an absolute joy to eat) - Fazzoletti Ripieni with house made Italian sausage, seared Ontario mushrooms, fennel, kumquat and anise truffle nage (this was an awesome dish as well) - Farfelle with rapini, vanilla poached salsify, shallots, garlic confit, garlic pesto cream and preserved lemon - Pappardelle Bolognese with blisted vine tomatoes, white anchovies and smoked olive oil (my favourite pasta of the evening) - Branzino with pan fried sweet gale, crispy skin, brussel sprouts, dandelion greens and elderberry piccata - Piadini Manzo with beef bresaola, sunchoke puree, green olive, pistachio, smoked golden blyth goat gouda (much more interesting and tastier than a pizza!) - Apple cake with brown butter icecream and marsala cream (this was so good, especially the brown butter icecream!) - Vanilla buttermilk panna cotta - Bittersweet chocolate bar with cocoa nibs, raspberry sorbet and strawberry coulis (a very nice and balanced dessert) I truly appreciate Executive Chef Dyer's passion of trying to focus on using as much local ingredients as possible for his dishes. I was also delighted to know that most things are made/prepared in-house, which is always nice. Overall, I am definitely a fan of this place and would not hesitate to recommend it to anyone visiting the Distillery District who wants to try good and reasonably priced Italian fare. Archeo is a popular event spot and could be closed for a private event, so reservations are highly recommended.

    Summerliscious 2013 For $15 meal?! Sumptuous. I love it. Love their decor inside but opt for patio. Food: good portions, good taste, great ambiance, good service. We were full! Our server was kind enough to give us kiddies appetizer to share for the kids instead of their summerliscious appetizer. Will definitely come back.

    Archeo is a modern Italian restaurant located in the distillery district. The outside of the restaurant is unassuming so if you are not specifically looking for it you most likely will walk right past it. We came here on a Saturday evening for a private function. The restaurant has a casual rustic feel to it. The menu for the evening was pre-selected with you then having a choice for your main between a few options. For appetizer we had an Arugula Red/Yellow Beet Salad. It was a simple salad and perhaps it could of used another ingredient or two but it was ok. For the main I opted for the Beef Tenderloin. It was cooked perfectly medium rare and was served with fingerling potatoes and heirloom carrots. It was seasoned well and was great. For dessert we had a Salted Caramel Tiramisu in a Chocolate Cup. You can't go wrong with salty and sweet. It was excellent. The service throughout the evening was great and staff was friendly. It was a great night in the district.

    After walking awhile in the Christmas market it was already 8, so we just randomly chose Arheo for dinner since it is just located in the Distillery District. The menu is very simple and doesn't have that much variety to choose from. I ordered the flat iron which comes with two tiny potatoes. The steak is really tender and juicy, but the portion is quite small (my friend just finished it in 5 mins). Overall, it is great but probably you need to order more dishes to be full.

    Meh. The menu's pretty uninspired. There are better restaurants in the distillery, and there's better Italian to be had in Toronto.

    Donatello is considered a fine dining Italian restaurant. And it didn't disappoint. The foid and…read moreservice were excellent. The vibe was a slightly darkened room (for the evening). 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

It's a dining experience you don't see every day in Toronto. Even the washrooms are memorable, tucked away in the basement in what used to be old jail cells, which adds to the charm and gives the whole place a bit of personality. We went for an early Sunday dinner before a concert at Massey Hall. The restaurant got pretty busy as the evening went on, but it never felt chaotic. The atmosphere is lovely and lively, a great choice for a special night out or a pre-show meal. We started with Calamari alla Griglia with mixed greens, capers, onions, and fresh tomatoes. It was a fresh, bright appetizer with good balance. For mains, my date had the Spaghetti in Canna a Mare with clams, mussels, calamari, scallop, and tiger shrimp in a tomato sauce. The menu described it as mildly spicy, but it definitely had a noticeable kick. Still, the flavours were really good. I ordered the Ravioli al Brasato with braised beef, butter, sage, and parmigiano. It was tasty and comforting, though portion-wise I could have used a few more ravioli. I was still a bit hungry after and honestly double the size would have been perfect for me. For dessert we shared the Tiramisu with espresso-soaked savoiardi, mascarpone, and cocoa. I had an amaro while my date finished with zambuca. A sweet and satisfying way to wrap up the meal. The service was friendly, though drinks came out a bit slower than expected. Terroni's food is tasty, the setting is gorgeous, and it's easy to see why locals keep coming back. It's not cheap, but the quality and ambience make it worth trying, especially for dinner before a show or a relaxed date night in one of Toronto's most unique spaces.

There were four flights of stairs to get up to the first floor with the bar and main dining area. There was another two flights of stairs to get to the upper bar (which I was too tired to walk up to). The drinks at the bar were good and the staff were all great. We started with passed apps. Some of the flavour combinations were just off (the skewer with fruit, cheese and something else) - like they paired the wrong cheese with the fruit. The meal itself was a seat down meal (family style) which did take over two hours to complete for the amount of guests that were present (over 200 ppl). My favorite dish was the tomato and mozza salad. My most disappointed dish was the ragu pasta. Though containing a good amount of meat it was not saucy at all. The pizza was the brocolini was good as well. The reason I gave this restaurant three stars is strictly for the lack of elevator and the food quality vs the price. For what you are paying, there is so much higher quality food in the city and I honestly think you can get better bang for buck elsewhere.
