I love their decor and the fact that their whole kitchen was right there so you can see the staff cook. I had really high expectations for this place but it was just mid. Their service was amazing and they did try to accommodate even though their menu clearly states "any modifications to dishes are strongly discouraged". I get it, but if there are ingredients that my pallet doesn't agree with, changes will be requested. That said, I had linguine allo scoglio without the mussels and I wasn't wowed. It was very average. We also ordered the rigatoni bolognese and it was also very average. It was a nice to try. read more

TLDR: I will be dreaming about the carpaccio for many years to come. Longer version: Great atmostphere with solid service and fully reasonable prices. I had the carpaccio and octopus and for me, I would order that carpaccio for just myself next time. I do not want to share. I also had the spaghetti blu mare, which was a totally unique dish if a little odd looking. I enjoyed the soft prawns and the hint of lime was also a delight. read more

came in on a monday for my birthday dinner and wow how full they were! highly recommend making a reservation before you go since space is limited. Loved the variety on the menu! they also have a rotating menu monthly that celebrates different region of italy which is so unique! we ordered the fritto misto and their special pizza for starters. Both were super delicious and came out fast. For our main we ordered the special house made fettuccine with white venison ragu and a slow braised short rib over polenta and veggies. Fettuccine was delicious and short ribs were tender.. not a fan of the polenta though because it was grainy. service was impeccable. We had a nice Italian man from rome who served us and he was super attentive! will be coming back to try their other items! read more

Glad to have stumbled on to this great Italian restaurant just 5 min from Canada's wonderland. Amazing customer service. In starters burrata was average, but the main course was really good. The Cacio e Pepe, spaghetti with marinara, also loved the calabrese pizza. Tiramisu was great as well. Overall loved it. read more

Great restaurant to dine at on a date or with family/ friends. It's hard to miss from the outside since the you can't peep through the windows from the outside. Upon arriving they take your jackets to hang at the front so that you're comfortably seated at your table. One of the factors that stood out to me, even until now is how hot the restaurant was. It was winter so I get that the heat was on and they have an open concept kitchen but it was HOT! A little uncomfortable with the heat but the food really made up for it. We can for a birthday celebration with a table of 4. The server was great and the food was even better. Here's what we had: Insalata Alla Siciliana 3/5 - It was a bit heavily dressed in oil. Great crunch and comes with some citrus on the top. Fennel has a heavy licorice flavour so make sure it's something you like before ordering. Fritto Misto 5/5 - This was such a great dish with a variety of different seafood that came fried, like calamari, shrimp, octopus, zucchini and carrots. YUM. So great for sharing and so delicious - a must get! Burrata Prosciutto platter 5/5 - Another great dish for sharing since it's on the larger side. Came with pieces of pita, prosciutto and burrata. So delicious and all ingredients paired so well with one another. Pizza Gucci 3.5/5 - This was recommended by our server, but kind of wish she recommended a red pizza instead. This tasted very similar to our burrata platter that already came with prosciutto, so this wasn't especially fantastic for us. Also didn't taste any truffle as it said on the menu. Pappardelle Al Ragu Di Agnello 5/5 - Deliciously saucey red ragu sauce pasta. This was so velvety and savoury to the palette. Another must get as it's so satisfying to slurp up your pasta. Branzino in Crosta Di Patate 3/5 - Think this lacked some salt/ flavour. It was quite bland even with their sauce on it. Probably wouldn't order it again. Tiramisu 5/5 - Very creamy and delicious. Great end to our meal and would get this again. Great for sharing. Graffe Fritte 5/5 - Fried donuts which were soft and pillowy. Overall it was such a great dining experience and the food was so good. Would definitely come back to try more things on their menu. But would get the fritto misto again for sure - a favourite of the night. read more

Was super excited to try this restaurant as I heard lots of good things. However, Food was mediocre unfortunately. We ordered the calamari,shrimp etc platter , pasta with funghi and Abruzzo pizza. All dishes lacked flavour and had little to no taste especially the funghi pasta and pizza. Service was good, our server was nice and attentive and explained the menu nicely. read more

My first time here and the food is delicious and the service is top notch! Each month is a new menu featuring dishes to highlight a specific region in Italy. This month for December, the menu is their top favourites throughout the year. They bring you fresh warm Ciabatta bread with their EVVO and Hot Chilli Oil. You get authentic Italian cuisine! I recommend you start off with insalata Alla Tretina a fresh Arugula, Spinach Salad with apples and dried berries in a light Vinaigrette. The Neapolitan style wood fired pizzas are a must... thin chewy crust with a blistered crust. The Calabrese is delicious with spicy n'duja, smoked provolone, Fior di Latte, fresh basil and EVVO. Ask for more chilli oil ... it's delicious drizzled over pizza. For pasta, we decided on the Parapadelle served in a flavourful boar ragu. The handcrafted pasta is perfect and cooked al dente. The sauce is beautiful and just the right amount. It's a Thursday night and it is packed! No surprise. Our server ANNA was friendly and attentive. She made sure we had clean set of cutlery after each course. Next time we will make room for dessert. We were so stuffed!! I highly recommend you put this list of restaurants to try! read more

5 stars to Marco the server who had so much enthusiasm and passion for his job - extremely attentive, friendly & helpful. Highly recommend the blu spaghetti & their linguine. The fried calamari is a pass - batter was not that great. Otherwise definitely give this authentic Italian place a try! read more

Our boss took us to this place for our office Xmas dinner. I generally don't go out for Italian since I can get authentic Italian food from my mom.. but damn it was pretty good. The restaurant is in a business complex which and you would totally miss it if you weren't looking for it. Inside is on the small side with not a lot of tables but the décor was nice with a big glass wine cellar as the focus. Interesting concept of for this restaurant is that each month it features some dishes from a particular region of Italy. When we went the Piedmont region of Northern Italy but we chose to order of the regular menu. We started off by sharing a few side dishes. The beef carpaccio, fruitti di mare and pizza with 1/2 red with spicy olive and 1/2 white with prosciutto and sausage. Not that I usually order it, but the beef carpaccio was the best I had. The beef was thinly sliced and seasoned very well, so tasty. The dish also had dollops of truffle cream and caviar on top. The truffle cream was so intense and played well with the thinly sliced beef .. 10/10. The Frutti di Mare, very good with nice size shrimp, calamari, and vegetable. Lightly battered and fried perfectly, not oily at all. The 1/2 and 1/2 pizza was made in a pizza oven was very good as well. The crust was thin and had a good chew like a good pizza should have. The topping were simple and straightforward. For the main I chose the the roasted pork belly with a wine reduction sauce. I liked it but didn't blow me away. It was crunchy but tender and the tangy sauce cut through the fat. It came with rappini and roasted potatoes. My only critique is that I noticed with all our mains (salmon, beef cheeks and branzino) it came with the same sides. Although the rappini and roasted potato were good, It seemed that the sides were a bit of an after thought. To finish off I had the pistachio cream with chocolate cookie crumble. I liked the pistachio cream, it was smooth and creamy and good pistachio taste but I kinda wished it didn't come with the chocolate cookie crumble. It kinda overpowered the cream, which was delicious. Overall, it was a great meal. Even better since I didn't have to pay! Lol I would recommend this place in a heartbeat to someone looking for a more upscale Italian resto. read more

Giro D'Italia - Ex-gf - Italian Near Me - Vaughan, Ontario

What a sweet find in Vaughan! My friend and I knew we'd find the best Italian eats in Vaughan since we did not want to make the trip to downtown to Little Italy. So we took a chance at one of the top rated Italian restaurants in Vaughan according to Google reviews. We were greeted right away when we walked in but did not have a reservation. At first they did not have a spot for us because the manager said they were fully booked for the evening. However when we walked out, an eccentric friendly man stopped us from leaving and made a table available for us right away. We assume he was the owner. We didn't think a reservation was needed on a Tuesday but it is very much needed as more people walked in and filled up the place quickly. It made us more excited to try out the place since it seemed so popular. The manager took care of us the entire evening and made a few recommendations off their seasonal menu we had to try. The menu changes every month and is based off the season and a region in Italy. We had the pleasure of tasting Calabria and going through 3 bottles of white wine, which he also recommended. The manager was very energetic, friendly and very knowledgeable. It felt like a whole experience and really made you forget that you're in Vaughan haha. Thank you so much for the wonderful food and service. We can't wait to try next month's flavours. read more

We ordered a pizza along with some entree with potatoes and chicken, must say the potatoes were really nicely grilled and served, although the chicken could be lightly more cooked to be perfectly grilled. The entire time our servers were really nice and generally paying attention to our needs, and attentive to our requests as well. Overall the ambience was really nice and bit stuffy but good to go for lunch and dinner scenes, although we did go at the peak hours, so rush was more than normal, it was quite a generous crowd to be around! read more

Had such high expectations for this place. Massively Disappointed. Since this place regularly changes its menu based on a region in Italy we went to try the Calabrian theme. Apps: Calabrese Zeppele were decent but too dense. Suppli with meat were more like arancini, -ok Mains: The main attraction pasta dish of the month -- Ravioli stuffed with Nduja were billed as amazing. It was undercooked and way too filled with onion - I think all the Nduja May have oozed out during cooking and nowhere to be found. The pizza had good flavors. Toppings wise, but the dough - we all thought was like store bought pita bread. The veal entree and also the Gnocchi with red sauce were the best thing on the table. Although, nothing to rave about so I'll stop here. Funny thing. Seemingly a manager or owner who kept coming by hitting on a table filled with gregarious women was gracious enough to serve them with a nice round of complementary digestivo's to finish their meal. Stupendo! We probably spent double bill wise and were not even offered with a 'how was your meal'. read more

When four people go for dinner and everyone found their meal to be bland and mediocre and the portion size disappointing then you know that a restaurant that you have previously enjoyed has gone downhill. Server was very attentive but that does not compensate for sub par food. read more

The takeout cardboard boxes do absolutely no justice to the look or taste of the food - I took the pictures before putting the food on our own dishes as the sauces are on the bottom. We ordered from the regular menu as the monthly menu online wasn't updated yet (Mar. 9? ... although they quickly updated after I placed my order). 1. The mushroom risotto was superb. The risotto was cooked to perfection, and although the pancetta was no longer crispy, the flavours blended nicely together. 2. The branzino, slightly soggy due to take out still had crispy parts. It wasn't overly salty (which I like actually), and the rosemary went so well with it. I would definitely recommend trying it at the restaurant. The carrot and potato puree gave it a bit of sweetness. I loved it! 3. The donuts, also slightly soggy due to take out, texture was light, and airy, and the sauce was heavenly!! None of the sogginess bothered me - that's how good the food was. Would definitely come back. read more

It took a while to get reservations, but worth the wait. Good selection of a traditional Italian menu items, along with their regional specials for the month. I would confirm good value for the portions provided. We had a mixed charcuterie board with Burata and assorted cured meats. The family enjoyed the lamb chops, good portion, another had the flat iron steak and I enjoyed the risotto and eggplant dish. They offered a complimentary dessert for a birthday celebration, that was a nice bonus. read more

Okay so I'm giving a five star because the food was phenomenal but honestly our particular server was awful. Zero personality- like zero! Didn't even crack a smile at any time. My children were starved so we ordered pasta for them and asked for that to come out first. My hubby and I ordered big meat plates but yet those came out before our children's pasta. My hubby ordered a drink which got forgotten about and a reminder to our server had to be given. Very unfortunate because like I stated the food was amazing but just so unfortunate to receive such terrible service :( I also used to be a server so I feel customer service is very essential in this field. read more

The food was ok, but considering our expectations and the prices, we were disappointed. Also annoying was the fact our waitress kept on reminding us they had to turn the table over, there was another reservation after us read more

I started visiting this place in the summer and absolutely fell in love with it! The food, the service, and overall ambiance is magical. It's difficult to pick a dish because they're all so good. They are constantly changing their menu each month to reflect a region of Italy and it does not disappoint! The staff is amazing. They are all friendly, attentive, and remembered my husband and I each time we went in. It's the little things that make the difference, and this is really one of them. If you enjoy authentic Italian cooking, try this place! read more

Giro D'Italia is located on the west side of Jane Street south of between Gensal Gate and Courtland Ave. The location for this place is a bit deceiving. First off I have tried to update the address of this Yelp listing from 8470 Jane to 8740 Jane because it's actually 8740 but it still hasn't been updated as of 2/4/19 and the suggestion I made to change it has been about a week or so already. In one of the photos I took of the storefront it clearly displays the address as 8740 at the front of the building. Besides the incorrect address on the Yelp it's not that hard to find. This area is mostly an office/commercial type area and this restaurant is at the corner of a strip. There's parking along the front and I believe there's parking along the side as well. This place is and seems to truly be an Italian restaurant. The menu has a rolling region that is featured every so often although I'm not sure how often it's changed (weekly, monthly?) but on our visit the region was Marche. From pizza, pasta and other mains there's a variety of options. Being that I just had pizza last weekend and I wasn't in the mood for pasta because I had it recently. I was going to go for the snapper because I was in the mood for fish but they had a daily special which was served the same way (with vegetables and potatoes) but instead it was rainbow trout. Now I don't know how much rainbow trout is a fish in Italia but really I don't care. I wanted something a bit different and they had it. My wife had gone with the gnocchi gorgonzola and I had tried it and it was very rich. I'm not really a fan of gnocchi because I get board of it if it's the only plate. I had tried a slice of Margherita which somebody had shared earlier and it was also quite good. The service at Giro seemed to be better than average if I had to gauge it. The staff really made sure everybody was never thirsty and that everybody always had what they needed without being overly pushy or anything. I had to also give credit because the seating we had was rather cramped and they were able to make in between the tables and tight spaces with ease or at least they made it look easy. I like that Giro had a good variety of choices and that they change things up from their normal menu and have a featured region so things can never really get boring here if you were a regular. Our family was having a special occasion at Giro D'Italia and the experience was great. read more

We arrived at Giro on a Friday around 12:30 lunch without reservations. I was there with my wife for a birthday lunch (hers) and It was our first time there. Im bad with names so I cant recall our hosts. But she was very pleasant and managed to find us a seat as it was already getting busy. Our host took us through their menu and special regional menu (campania). After getting two 6 oz glasses of wine we ordered a "day special" antipasto. It was a plate with a buffalo mozzarella in the middle surrounded by an arugula and cherry tomato salad, prosciutto slices and some very tasty white pita/pizza slices to accompany the dish. The mozzarella was exceptional, the prosciutto was cut a little thicker then I prefer but still good quality. We also got a deep fried pasta cake app which was packed with great flavour. Our mains were spaghetti gamberi for my Wife and the mezzo paccheri in a red octopus ragu. My wife enjoyed the dish and was appreciative that the tails were off the prawns. My octopus pasta Ragu had great flavour and complexity but my pasta was done just a couple notches below 'al dente'. Although I appreciate a bit of bite in my pasta it was pulled maybe a minute too early from the water, I had my wife try it and she said that if it had been her dish she would not have been able to eat it. To add, I only got two very little pieces of octopus in the dish. Had the pasta been cooked a little longer this dish would have been the highlight of my meal. We didnt have any dessert or coffee as we were pressed for time. It was almost a perfect experience save for a couple of small details. Our bill with tip was around $160 read more

Went for Mothers day yesterday and the food was blah. Not much taste and did not look so appetizing either. Was looking forward to it as heard good reviews but not impressed at all. We spent $95pp and would have been ok if the food was good. Not sure if was because pre-set menu but this is when a restaurant should put out their best to keep people coming back. So disappointed and out over $400. read more

First time in this fine Italian restaurant.. The idea to have a taste of different regions of Italy is brilliant. Their specials cater to a different region every month. I attended for the region of Campagna (Near Naples) and it did not disappoint. Food was fantastic and just the right size in portions. Negroni 's were clever with a catered flavour on nuance specific to the regions of Italy. Selections were plentiful and close to authentic as you can get. Staff are friendly and very attentive to all their customers Michele, the owner was fantastic to talk to. Michelle and Anna were our servers. I enjoyed lunch so much I decided to host a private event at Giro. Bravissimo. read more

This new Italian spot in Woodbridge (as though the area needs any more of those) is keen on setting itself apart, by offering a standard menu, as well as a rotating menu that focuses on a different region of Italy, each month. Since this month focused on Abruzzo, I tried the saffron pasta and had the pizelle gelato sandwich for dessert. The service was great and the food was good, but with the competition in the area, it did nothing truly remarkable with the menu to set itself apart for me. Hence, my 4 star review. read more

Giro D'Italia - Italian Near Me - Vaughan, Ontario

What an incredible experience from beginning to end. This restaurant has a great menu with a touch of originality. Each month, Giro D'Italia picks a region of Italy to feature in its specials. Along with these specials is a wonderful menu of regularly featured dishes. We were 5 adults along with our 2 1/2 year old daughter. We were greeted by the manager, Michele, who was a true gentleman and treated us like family. Our waitress, Ana, was a sweetheart as well. We started with a fritto misto and cozze (mussels) marinara. The focaccia they give you when you sit down warm and freshly made. The calamari were tender and perfectly fried. The mussels were equally good and the sauce is amazing. We ordered 2 pasta dishes and 4 pizzas: Spaghetti gamberi, gnocchi gorgonzola e noci, pizza calabrese, a Napoli, a Romeo e Giulietta, and a regular margherita for our toddler. Everything was great, and to add to it, the chef, Paolo, made the margherita into the shape of Mickey for our daughter. It was a wonderful gesture. For dessert, we shared a hazelnut tartufo which was wonderful. My macchiato was perfect and my wife and her sister enjoyed their cappuccinos as well. Great place, great people, and we will be making this a regular stop. read more

This place is amazing! The whole concept of picking a different region in Italy and dedicating a portion of your menu to products or foods typically found in the region every month is amazing. A must try if you love cheese is the cinque terra (sorry if my Italian is off) pizza which is a white pizza with 5 different types of cheeses. Pasta dishes are also really good here! Was very impressed each of the 3 times I've been here. Nice fancier place to take clients or the GF. read more
