My second time visiting Via Allegro Ristorante and their fine-dining atmosphere is top notch. The…read moreservice was pleasant and the food we had was deliciously served with high quality. We had the Truffled Mushroom Risotto (5/5) and the Prime Striploin (5/5), as well as tiramisu and creme brulee for dessert. Truffled Musshroom Risotto had shavings of the wild mushrooms. The dish had the rich aroma of the truffles which we delightfully indulged ourselves with. I highly recommend ordering this dish because no other place makes it quite like Via Allegro. Prime Striploin was cooked to perfection. It was so tender and juicy. We liked how they didn't have it with any gravy, letting their culinary technique with the steak speaks for itself. The potatoes were nice and crispy on the outside, yet smooth on the inside. The vegetables were cooked nicely. The desserts were satisfying, a great way to finish off our meals. I would come back again. Highly recommend this place for celebrating special occasions and/or to satisfy your cravings for Italian dishes. PS If you're into wine, they have the most extensive collection of wine which they won numerous awards for.

It was also a tad pricey for a medium-sized bowl however, it did fill me up, and I enjoyed it. The service was great, and the cashier that rang up the order was friendly. The tables were a bit cramped, and there wasn't much room to really stretch out and enjoy. Overall, this place has homemade food however, the price is a tad high, and the atmosphere isn't the best for long periods of time.

Don't come here expecting white tablecloths or fussy presentations; come here for food that is made properly. While it may not look pretty on the plate, the taste is unbeatable. The experience is lovely. Our server was very nice, and the atmosphere feels genuine because the owners are actively involved in the restaurant. This truly feels like supporting a dedicated small business. Discovering they host pasta-making classes confirms their commitment to true Italian cuisine. We were a party of five and enjoyed both food and drinks; spending approximately $400 after tax and tip felt like excellent value for the quality meal we received. For anyone seeking real, incredible Italian food, skip the chains and come here.

This is a nice Italian restaurant. My husband was planning to bring me here for Valentine dinner,…read morehowever, they were fully booked. We totally understood. It was not so big, but really grand and cozy. We should say it belonged to the high end restaurant. We came in for Sunday lunch, a day after the Valentine's Day. The menu goes back to regular menu, but they do have Lunch Special (1 half size of App, 1 main & 1 dessert) for $39/person. Since we were not really hungry, we order 1 lunch special to share. We chose the Calamari Fritti as Appetizer, The Fun Guy pizza as main, and Tiramisu as dessert. Deep fried calamari was small size with some zucchini, and spicy mayo sauce on the side. The pizza was great taste, not too salty, and I loved it because it was creamy, however, I felt that's vegetarian pizza, and a bit overcooked. A lot of it was burnt. The Tiramisu was in the cup, my little girl has nuts allergy, so the server gave us a cup of mango ice cream on the house. They were getting busy around 1pm. And I believe it was more people than other times at night. Lunchtime was the best time for us.

Inside feels a bit dated, but adds to the heritage as it's been in the neighbourhood for quite some time. They have a giant mirror wall and floral wallpaper along with the patio for the warmer weather. Service 5/5 Came here for a birthday dinner when we arrived we had a table we requested and later on the private room was open so our server was able to accommodate our switch into the private room. very attentive and recommendations of dishes. The food came out quickly too as per our request and there were frequent check ins for things such as: cheese, water, how the food was tasting, if we wanted anything else. We ordered the meatballs as an appetizer along with the pizza to share before our mains, which was the ribeye and the lobster casarecce came out . Food 5/5 The meatballs were great you can tell they're freshly made and seasoned perfectly. The lobster pasta was a good companion to the ribeye steak. The steak also came with the side of potatoes that were sautéed very well. The steak was a little bit over seasoned, but it was still juicy nonetheless. We ordered the hot rod pizza as we wanted some spice. It wasn't too spicy so most non spicy eaters can tolerate it. Instead of traditional tiramisu, we got the coconut cream cake for dessert and that one had the flavours explode in your mouth. **Other** There was actually a fight that escalated into some yelling and hostility between a party in the restaurant, and the staff handled that perfectly and professionally. They resolved it without conflict. All the patrons there gave them a round of applause after the unruly party left because of how well the staff handled the situation and de-escalate it.

Eataly's Eaton centre location is great! I don't always make my way to Yorkville (their original…read morelocation) so it's great to get a bit of Italy strolling through the mall. I checked their one and only restaurant, La Pasta and La Pizza upstairs so if you're looking to try more restaurants, Yorkville may be the better bet. The bar area outside the restaurant also serves the same menu as the restaurant. Service and food is great and moderately priced. The bakery counter is probably the main highlight for me. I love casually strolling in to grab a cannoli through the mall. Always so good! Their gelato is also amazing from my experience at the other location. Highly recommend the coffee flavour. Theirs also produce and Italian imports too. The fresh produce always looks so pristine though I don't see myself shopping for groceries when I'm at the Eaton Centre.

My daughter and I love to go for Italian and our usual is the Dip on College, but I wanted to try…read moreanother spot so we continued west along College to Regina. This is a tiny spot compared to the Dip, with more of a homey vibe and family dinner kind of spot. Perfect for her and I since we don't generally go to the date-night spots together (think lit candles on the table). The experience was great! She had her fave gnocchi so we were all good. Between the Dip and here, I think the Dip gets the nod, but it could be what we ordered. One stand-out for myself was the coffee menu having all the Italian special coffees that you could think of! Just before this visit I had the pleasure of bringing a friend to Cavallano Sports Bar in Etobicoke where they offered a splash of Frangelico with my Espresso, and that was at 9AM so somewhat of a surprise and pleasantly delicious. So seeing this menu there was a bit a flutter in my heart as you can imagine. So if you want a family style dinner Italian style I heartily recommend this long running establishment which will fit the bill with great, friendly service and all the favourites you can think of!

Came here on a Tuesday at lunch time with coworkers and we had booked tables ahead of time. We had…read morea large group of 15 people coming. We ordered two of each of the appetizers for our party, and then each person got a main as well. Our appetizers probably came out 1.5 hours later, cause I think there was only one cook in the kitchen. Our mains also took some time to come out as well. The appetizers were good, my favourite was probably the fried shrimp and calamari. The pizza was OK, the crust was too hard. Service was okay, it was a bit hard for the server to understand us, and it may have been a language barrier. He ended up having to take our main order twice because he lost his first notepad, so our mains were delayed. I ordered the steak panini and the steak was so tough. Overall, my experience was OK here. I would just recommend the appetizers.
