Now I only tried the spinach pasta but damn, it was so good I just had to rave to you about it! Plenty of ingredients, great flavour of dressing without being too salty or oily, and a good portion size. The service was also excellent and speedy. read more

I had a wonderful dining experience at Grazie in Toronto. The food was excellent--fresh, flavorful, and clearly prepared with care. Every dish we tried was well-executed and satisfying. The service was equally impressive. The staff was attentive, friendly, and made sure we were well taken care of throughout the evening. The ambiance truly stood out--warm, inviting, and perfect for a relaxed yet enjoyable dining experience. Overall, Grazie delivers on all fronts. I would definitely recommend it and look forward to returning. read more

I came here to celebrate my partner's birthday with a couple of family members, and I was excited to see an Italian place busy because that is usually a good sign. However, I was disappointed in the end. The service is good, it was mostly quick; however, I made a reservation, yet somehow I was still kept waiting after 30 minutes for a table. The waiter was extremely friendly, and our food came in a non-rushed manner. It made you feel like you could just enjoy your meal. My partner ordered the Gnocchi, which was done in a tomato sauce, and it tasted pretty good. I ended up going with the daily special of lasagna, and it was honestly disappointing. The sauce was watery, which means the sauce is too thin or there is excess moisture. The sad part is that when I asked for Parmigiano-Reggiano, it was waxy tasting, making me think it was not fresh and the real thing. Other than my dish, the dinner was good, and the vibe of the restaurant helped with the enjoyment of dinner. read more

First impressions, the place is bustling and busy. It was packed when we arrived but we still got the table at our reservation time. The service took a while, our server was busy with many customers but the food was so good. We got the sausage and pepperoni pizza and butter squash ravioli, they both tasted amazing. However, the desserts were a little disappointing. The looked better than they tasted. Got the flour less chocolate cake and creme brule cheesecake, I didnt like the brownie part in both the desserts but that could have been just me. read more

A nice Italian spot at Yonge & Eglinton! Food - 4/5 Bruschetta - 4/5 - Fresh tomatoes and oil, and a nice crunchy toast. Not the best I've ever had, but still really good! Shrimp pasta (can't remember the name) - 4/5 - it was really tasty and creamy! I'd get it again! Tiramisu - 4/5 - also creamy, and a nice touch to end the meal. Service - 5/5 - Friendly staff and fast service! Didn't have to look for a waiter, they always came to check on us. Ambiance - 5/5 - Perfect for a casual date; not too fancy, but still has character and a good ambiance to chat. Overall, pretty good and I'd come back! read more

We made a reservation for dinner during the week and the place was jam packed. They serve delicious Italian cuisine in a warm and welcoming atmosphere. We ordered "Sila Salad", "Odessa Salad" and "Grilled Veal Striploin" and were pleasantly impressed with the taste and quality of our meal; perfect combination of spices. For dessert, we ordered homemade "Tiramisu" and enjoyed every bite. read more

Let me preface this by saying that my wife and I worked in the service industry for over 10 years. I'm currently a chef and our experience wasn't the best and it's pretty disappointing as we love Grazie. We came yesterday for Mother's Day May 10th 2026. The drinks and appetizers were delicious but after that everything went down. We waited about 20 minutes before the server came to check on us and order food. Our reservation was at 4:45pm. We saw a couple tables sit after us and being treated better and faster. We order the food and we waiting 51 minutes for the food. I asked politely to the server what's happening with our food and the server before checking with the kitchen excuse the kitchen and said to me we are busy. (I ran many 400+ guest service and never made a table wait longer than 25 minutes) when we finally got the food, My brother's and dad's food wasn't the same even thought they order the same food. The piece of veal were completely different cuts and seasoned differently. My mom's veal parmigiana was too dark which means they were using old oil which led to my mom feeling sick, my wife food was good but you can't really messed up ravioli. And my food which is the one on the picture, was cold. I stop eating and let everyone else enjoy their food. The manager or owner I don't know who he is came over and ask if everything was good I said: their dishes are not mine, it's cold. He grabbed the plate and said: that's weird. The plate is warm. You want something else or you want me to pack it to go? I said no thank you he took the plate. Didn't say anything. If you leave a plate on the hot pass for long enough the plate will get hot on the bottom but not the pasta itself. I understand bad services happen but how you respond to your guests it's what matters. I felt insulted and if I didn't know better I would accepted but like I said I know how to run a kitchen and a restaurant and this wasn't it. They charge me for the pasta. Ended up paying $350. And had to go home to make food. It's sad that a place like this only care about certain people and not everyone. And the worst part is that we went out to celebrate my mom and the whole experience was just ruined. Being human and acknowledging a mistake makes you better. But if the people running the restaurant don't care about being accountable or people that don't look like their regulars, it will never be a pleasant experience. Sadly, I know this are just words and the management team will never care and most likely acknowledge this but they should. Be more human. Care for each guest or not work in a restaurant. read more

Had the best experience at Grazie in Toronto! We hosted a party of 29 people and everything was spot on. The food was absolutely delicious, hot, fresh, and kept coming without a hitch. The drinks were flowing and the whole night just had a great vibe. Big thank you to Carlos, who was incredible, and also to Angelo and the management team for running such a smooth and welcoming operation. The staff was so attentive and genuinely cared that everyone was having a great time. If you're looking for a spot to celebrate something special or just want a fantastic meal out Grazie is the place. Can't recommend it enough! Bum read more

We recently tried this restaurant in a group of 8. We made the reservation and were seated right away. We chose this restaurant because kids love Italian. The restaurant was packed and it was very loud. We couldn't talk across the table easily. We ordered cocktails - Bloody Mary, Sangria - they were not very potent felt like sugar water Appetisers - bruschetta, Calamari fritters, pugliese focaccia, Branca Salad - it was all very delicious Main course - we had pastas Basta, Milano and Bosco with different meats and all of them were great! Overall great food! read more

Their food is so yummy!! I loved their stuffed pasta, it's a must try! The staff was also very helpful and the place comfortable.

I've been to both locations of Grazie and both have great service, waiters are very responsive amd fast with requests. The ambiance is very relaxed it's a chill restaurant a little bit fancy the food is affordable for the quality of food everything is very fresh. The food is all very filling everything I had was flavourful and fresh I always get the shrimp linguine the portion of shrimp is good and they are cooked perfectly not over done. The flat breads are a good appetizer to share amongst the table read more

Grazie Ristorante - Penza - Italian Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

I'm extremely confused by these 5 start reviews so I'm going to assume it reflects the wait staff and not the food. Staff are friendly, accommodating and hustle to get the food out on time. What is confusing is that .... the food isn't really "italian" lots of broccoli on the menu which wasn't broccolini. Lots of green onions which is odd pairing. Raisins in everything that shouldn't have raisins. All this to say the food is underwhelming and average. Believe the low reviews as they are realistic. For the price point, I was expecting a bit more. The buratta salad which was supposed to be a show stopper fit for 2 was neither a show stopper nor fit for 2 as I had that to myself for an eye watering $35. Absolutely nothing to write home about and I can see it being a popular family joint but not much else to offer beyond that. Oh, maybe worth a mention that the house wine was fantastic. read more

Love this local Italian place! It's always busy everytime I pass by here and now I finally know why! Great service and delicious yet affordable food! Enjoyed their free bread - the olive oil and chilli oil were delish! We got a pasta and a pizza. Imo, the pasta was by far the best thing that night - creamy yet earthy and fresh; all the ingredients really made it a balanced dish. The pizza was decent but i thought the diced tomatoes really overpowered everything else. Surprisingly, their virgin mojito was better than the sangria I got! Would definitely come back to try other items :) read more

Great atmosphere, came here with my friends on a Saturday night and we got seated fairly quick despite how busy it was inside. The service was great, the staff were friendly and there's lots of seating in the restaurant. I got the salmon dish and I highly recommend it. The salad paired really well with the salmon, and the salmon skin was delicious! Will be coming back! read more

Lovely classic Italian spot in midtown Toronto. I went to this restaurant on Friday night and it was almost full house, so I suggest making a reservation. We ordered Pasta - BASTA. It was amazing, and so creamy. We also ordered the pizza - Romana, it was okay. Their pastas are better than their pizza in my opinion. Prices are fair for the portion sizes. Definitely will come back again! read more

Came back again for the second time, the meatballs to start were as delicious as the last time. This time I went with the steak recommended by Carlos, whose service was excellent and personal even with the high bar set by David last time. Atmosphere was homey and warm, welcoming and amazing food paired with lovely service! Highly recommended!! read more

We went on a mid Sunday afternoon and although made a reservation, didn't need it. The restaurant was clean and welcoming, and our server was great. He was attentive without being overbearing. A young woman also was helping clear our table and get us extra bread as soon my boys devoured it. We each got something different: a pizza (very good), vodka pasta (delicious), skirt steak special (husband loved it) and a pasta dish with salmon (different but yummy). I also started with a pear and pancetta salad - delicious!!! It was a generous portion and every bite delicious. I could have stopped there and been very content. We shared the homemade tiramisu, and it didn't disappoint. I know there are a lot of Italian options in Toronto, but based on our visit today, we would recommend to others and go back if we return to Toronto! Grazie! read more

I dined in on a Saturday night with my friends to celebrate my belated birthday and we were all surprised with the pasta dishes we got! I got the Nico and the flavours were amazing! I was craving a pasta that wasn't too creamy or with tomato sauce and it was the perfect dish. The pasta was just so perfectly al-dente, I could not stop commenting on it during dinner, my friends were the same! I also ordered a pitcher of white sangria for the table and the waiter was kind enough to offer to add more ice in after serving it (which was perfect since it made it enough for another round for everyone!) I do recommend getting a reservation to secure a table as it does get super busy. I am definitely coming back. read more

Food: 3/5 Tasty meal but nothing extraordinary. The bruschetta was very typical but the baked goat cheese salad was delightful. Definitely the highlight of the meal. As for the mains, the pasta was about what you'd expect. Bonus points for the portion size though as I've found most Toronto Italian restaurants are much more stingy with the portions. Of the four pasta dishes ordered, the Penza was by far the best. Service: 5/5 our server was so so so lovely! I forgot her name but she's the girl with the Irish(?) accent I believe. We were also taken care of by a few other servers throughout the night, who were all phenomanal! Atmosphere: 4/5 Very cute spot and pretty bar area but did feel a bit tight in there. Stairs to the washroom were a bit steep. read more

All 4 staff who interacted with us yesterday excelled at making us feel that our visit mattered to them! Very genuine and caring. Classy right down to boxing the remaining pizza for us rather than just dropping off an empty container. Lively ambience as usual. CMJP read more

An italian staple to the neighbourhood and honestly worth to venture out to either this location or the Vaughan one. Great prices and portion size. Fantastic fresh pasta too. I love that they divide their menu into the types of sauces for the pasta and each section (whether it's tomato sauce, cream sauce, EVO& garlic or cream tomato) has something different going on. The pasta flavours are wonderful and it's definitely not your run of the mill spaghetti and meatballs here. Pizzas are also great. Quick service and you really do feel the italian family spirit here. Once you step in it feels homey and you don't realize you're on Yonge street. read more

Went here with a craving for Italian, but was quite disappointed in what I got. The restaurant is large and has a very lively atmosphere. It seems very fitting for a family dinner and for children. They do have a large menu that covers everything from classic Italian antipasti and soups, to pizzas and pastas. After reading many positive reviews I went in pretty optimistic. There was two of us in my party and we ordered the Kale and Beet salad, mussels in tomato sauce and the Napoletana (linguine with shrimps and clams). Everything was very average and not very flavourful. The kale in salad was too tough and the dressing a bit too tangy for my liking; the mussels were a bit plain, kind of spicy but not very tomatoe-y; but the pasta was probably my favourite of the night. Nice amount of shrimps and clams, tossed nicely in the tomato sauce. Considering that many people do enjoy the food here, perhaps it just wasn't to my preference for Italian food! I did see many tables ordering pizza which we didn't opt to do...perhaps the pizzas are the star of the show. Not sure if I would come back here but I'd be willing to give it a second try. read more

Let's start with the cons: They only have street parking, and located too far from my house for me to go daily They could pay some attn to the ladies room. Pros: Friendly servers....kudos to David who was very charming and also a proud daddy. Authentic Italian recipes, the pasta and desserts are superb every time I eat here. I prefer their Pasta over their Pizza. Comfy seating, and nice ambiance. They have a licensed bar for those who drink. Small side-walk Patio if u don't mind the traffic on Yonge street. Did I mention how awesome the food is... be sure to try their light and fluffy take on Tiramisu. Great spot for a romantic dinner or just chilling with a group of friends. I've even stopped for dinner alone and take-out. Then u get a nice walk back to wherever u parked, to burn off some calories. I'm due for another visit. read more

We arrived 5:45 on a Friday night without a reservation. They were able to seat us quickly with the stipulation that we gave up our table in 1 hour due to two large parties coming in. This was plenty of time to enjoy our meal. Wait staff was very attentive with refilling the bread basket and our drinks. Our family of four ordered the Margherita pizza, Termini pasta, Odessa pasta, and Quattro Stagioni pasta. Everything was fresh, hot, and delicious! read more

Tried this place out for weekday lunch. It was ok, nothing special. Insalata del mercato 2/5 - very simple mixed greens salad Penza 3/5 - pasta was nicely al dente but vodka sauce could've was on the lighter end with not too much flavor Not sure if it was because it was a weekday lunch, but seemed to be lacking staff on the floor and so service was slightly slow. read more

We've been to Gracie multiple times over the years with our partner and friends and were treated quite neutral. However, as we recently came for lunch and noticed the staff (owner) was purposely seating all the brown and yellow skin customers in one area with little to no space between the table. The staff also treated us differently, much slower service and waiter seems to either be distracted or wasn't listening. Food quality has degraded. We had stomach ache after eating the pasta. Do not recommend this place to diverse race / Individuals. read more

I haven't been here for a long time. But the food here was as delicious as I remember it. I came with a couple of friends after going to the One of a Kind Show. It's so nice to go to a familiar restaurant with great food, good prices & good service. We had the: 1. Bruschetta - so yummy! No cheese for me. Though they have a version with cheese. 2. Assisi - Fettuccine with tomato sauce, mushrooms & sun dried tomatoes 3. Tasca - Fresh pasta filled with ricotta, spinach, mushrooms & brie baked in a creamy tomato porcini sauce 4. Pesaro - Rigatoni with asparagus & gorganzola pesto (pine nuts) 5. Carrot cake 6. Tirimisu Everything was delicious. The decor of Grazie is comfy, rustic Italian style. Grazie has someone at the door checking proof of vaccination. He was very friendly & personable. Inside it can get crowded when you first enter. But once you're seated I felt it was fine. There was just enough distance between us & another table where a couple was eating their meal. The waitstaff are just so nice & professional here. I recognized some of the waitstaff from years back. It's good to see familiar faces. What can I say? I love this restaurant. The food comes out like clockwork & all of it was so good. They were out of one dessert which I wanted but the dessert I ordered instead was just as good. I will definitely come back here more often. I'm glad they didn't close for good during the pandemic. I've seen several restaurants close because of it. read more
