    caramelized onion pizza slice
    John D.

    If you stumble upon this place like I did, then mazel tov to you too! I was primarily in the area for some Filipino eats, but got drawn to the display case of slices from the outside. This pizza place is kosher, which makes it vegetarian (but not vegan) cause dairy and meat aren't served together. It was about an hour before the lunch rush and I got one of the last slices of caramelized onion which tells me it was probably from the night before. It was heated up in the pizza oven and while it didn't taste peak freshness, the caramelized onion topping was excellent. Some of the best I've ever had. At $4, this large tasty slice was a great deal. Note that parking is limited. Rating: 4 sexy Israelis named Gal out of 5

    Was here because of the taste of the Manila festival but wasn't feeling for Filipino food so I decided to check this place out. I like how they have a veggie cheeseless pizza which is great if ur staying away from dairy. I also had their falafel wrap and love all the other topping that they have to put in the wrap like roasted eggplants is one of them. Would go back for sure!

    Small falafel platter under $6, vegan (?)
    Diana S.

    Don't be fooled by the generic sounding name and dangerous-looking exterior... The food inside is cheap, delicious, filling, and relatively healthy! I'm currently training in this neighborhood and don't have a car or the motivation to pack lunch everyday, so yesterday I decided to not judge a restaurant by its exterior and to invite myself in. I'm actually not a huge fan of pizza (crazy, I know), but saw "falafels" on the name banner and as a huge middle eastern food fanatic I knew I needed to at least see the menu. I was pretty impressed initially by the pricing although not everything is dirt cheap, especially the salads, which are around $8-12, which is comparable to salads sold in downtown Toronto. The pizzas looked interesting, and I can see them making them from scratch in the back with all the giant ovens. I ordered the small falafel platter $5.69, which came with a whole wheat pita, 3 deep fried falafels that they make on the spot, dipping sauce (tastes like tahini?), and a small aluminum container of side dishes, including hummus, baba gnoush, purple cabbage, marinated mushrooms, salsa, etc. Trust me, I eat a lot, and despite how small the portions looked, it was all very, very filling as you can expect from fiber and protein. Everything is supposed to be vegan, but who knows. There's also a large version of this priced at $8. Other non-pizza food options include salads, salmon platter, fries, soup of the day (made in-house, changes daily), etc. The staff members are very nice, and there always seems to be a steady flow of customers. Most of the customers are Jewish and look like regulars, so evidently Pizza Cafe has received the stamp of community approval, which truly says a lot about the food! They also do catering. Will return!

    Poutine Pizza! Soo good.

    Just one look at that sun-faded sign on Yonge Street and you know immediately: this place has…read morecharacter. Mamma mia--they don't make signs like that anymore. No, signore. And that sign points to a true midtown institution: a warm, old-school Italian shop brimming with tempting cheeses, cured meats, and all sorts of intriguing groceries. But let's be honest--like many people, I come for the sandwiches. My husband likes to mix it up, but I'm forever loyal to the house special: shaved prosciutto and spicy salami, buffalo mozzarella, hot peppers, fig jam, sliced tomatoes, finished with balsamic and olive oil. You walk in, choose your bread (ciabatta, naturalmente), and they hand it over tutto pronto. It's a big, bold, mamma mia of a sandwich--and I absolutely love that mix of flavours. Molto bello!

    Did you know that sandwiches usually taste better when someone else makes em for you? The…read morepsychological effect of not knowing exactly what and how much ingredients go into your sub, so that each bite is a nice surprise. Well, that sure is the case here. La Salumeria's house special layers various kinds of deli meat, cheese, hot pepper pickles, tomato slices, and fig jam onto your choice of bread, and each mouthful bursts with a combination of flavours. Spicy, salty, sweet...! Just perfect. One sandwich usually lasts me 2 meals. I love looking around the store while waiting for my sandwich to be ready. There's a variety of deli meats, cheeses, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, spreads, etc. All neatly displayed and clearly labeled. It's nice to see a store that feels like a true neighbourhood mom & pop shop, with Carlo the owner recognizing regulars and exchanging friendly banter. Feels cozy While I am not a regular, he's still quite friendly.

    Grill Gate - Mushroom burger

    Some places are all about presentation, and some are about giving you exactly the kind of meal you…read morecame for. Grill Gate is firmly the second kind, and that is exactly why it works. The food is unapologetically hearty, full of flavor, and built to satisfy. The Philly Steak Sandwich is the kind of sandwich you immediately understand after the first bite. It is rich, cheesy, generously filled, and properly messy in the best way. The Spicy Mushroom Cheeseburger is just as convincing, with a thick beef patty, plenty of cheese, and enough mushroom and heat to make it feel more interesting than a standard burger. Nothing feels skimpy here, and that generous portion size is part of why the place has such a loyal following. What I liked most is that Grill Gate does not try to be too polished or too trendy. It knows exactly what it is. If you are in the mood for something indulgent, filling, and actually worth the price, this is the kind of spot that hits the mark. Very easy to come back to when you want a serious burger or sandwich.

    We still really like this place. The burgers are good & they also have pizza & even dessert…read more Food 4/5 I ordered the mushroom burger combo with fries & a drink. Hubby had the cheeseburger combo with fries & drink. The burgers are really filling at 8oz & the bun doesn't disintegrate like other places. The fries were nice & crispy & plentiful. Brought in a black bowl we got them before the burgers. I asked for water as my drink & they have their own branded water bottles which I think was neat. Hubby had ginger ale. Service 5/5 I only saw two staff here but service was smooth. The staff I could see was the cook & the waitress. There was no pressure to decide quickly what to order which I appreciate. Once we ordered we got the French fries first. Then the drinks came next. While we were munching on the fries the burgers came not long after. Everything was freshly cooked. The fries were so hot I had to wait a little for it to cool down. Same with the burger. But I didn't mind because I knew it was freshly cooked. For dessert I had one sugar free baklava. Delicious & the perfect size for me. Ambiance 5/5 For a burger place this is a nice looking place. I disagree with one is the reviewers that this place is like McDonalds. There are nice banquette seating here with wooden frame tables & blueish grey upholstered chairs. There are also booths to sit at. There's acoustic music playing over the speakers also of popular classic songs. The vibe there on my opinion is classy & chill. You don't have to dress up to come here that is true. But this place is definitely nicer than McDonalds. The food is way better than McDonald's too! I've eaten here before & I would definitely come back again!

    Ariete E Toro located near Yonge St. near Keewatin Ave in Mid-town Toronto serves up high-end…read moreItalian sandwiches. Opened in Feb 2025, the sandwich shop is set to expand opening a second location near Dundas and Ossington sometime this year. They are open daily from 11am to 5pm where you can pre-order off Ambassador for pick up or opt for delivery with Ubereats. When Ariete E Toro first opened last year, I recall seeing the long lines as it became super popular. Fast forward to a year later, I finally tried Ariete E Toro recently. The storefront is on a side street off of Yonge St. where it is take out only. They do have a bench near the window/entrance of the store but usually it's utilized by people waiting for their sandwiches. In the summer though, they have a small patio in front of the shop with some tables and chairs. Menu wise, Ariete E Toro has a variety of sandwiches with ingredients that work well together. You are also able to build your own sandwich if you'd like. They also have beverages like soda and water as well. The store boasts that all their ingredients are high quality. An average price of a sandwich is around $17. I decided to pre-order 2 sandwiches for pick up. These are the two sandwiches I got: - Enzo (mortadella di bologna, pistachio pesto, stracciatella cheese, chopped pistachio, lemon and basil oil). - Rogo Rogo (prosciutto cotto, 'nduja cream, smoked provolone, caramelized onion, arugula, and brown butter vinaigrette) Entering the store to pick up my order, staff were amidst completing my sandwiches. There was already a regular there chatting with staff. Service was quick. My sandwiches were packed and I had half of each at home. The size of the sandwich was pretty big! I could only finish 3/4th of the sandwich. Both the Enzo and the Rogo Rogo were tasty but the Enzo stole the show. The moist bread with the mortadella where the pistachio pesto and hint of stracciatella cheese along with a slight crunch from the chopped pistachio made for a perfect sandwich (I do prefer the bread a bit harder and crunchier though but the texture of this one was still good). I was sharing the sandwiches with my partner and as he opened the packaging he noticed a piece of hair in the sandwich. I would have given a higher rating on Yelp but finding someone else's hair in your food is off-putting. I do hope that if I return next time (either to this location or to their new location near Ossington/Dundas) that we won't find any surprises in our food. Overall, delicious sandwiches in Midtown Toronto, however, we did find a piece of hair in our sandwiches which.... kind of makes me hesitant to return. **Update** - I wrote a review on Google where the owner personally asked me to email them to rectify the situation with the piece of hair found in my sandwich. The owner apologized and stated that he was actually the one who personally made my sandwich that day (sliced the deli meat, etc.). He also made sure that he would speak with the bread manufacturer to make sure that they were aware of the situation as it may have come from the bread as well. He also gave me a refund for one sandwich as well as a $25 credit for if I wanted to give the sandwich spot another chance (the sandwich is too good to not go back!). That is what I call great customer service - making sure that an apology was given and that customers are happy. Would happily return again for their tasty sandwiches!!

Food: I got the Enzo - I'm a big fan of mortadella and pistachio pesto, and it's one of their OGs. I wasn't as big a fan of the sotto bosco, but overall the quality and portion sizes are solid. Presentation: Each sandwich comes in a snazzy box perfect for keeping the sandwich intact Space: Clean shop, more of a take out spot, with just one bench by the windows for seating Service: Quick and efficient - no line when I went right at opening on a Sunday. I came here hoping to satisfy my craving for a proper Italian mortadella sandwich after Eataly left me underwhelmed. Thankfully, this one hit the spot.

    Almost every table gets a dip and while the typical babaganoush and hummus are available, the…read moreeggplant and pepper dip ($9) intrigued me. Starting with a base of roasted eggplant, slivers of quickly smoked pepper and raw celery & onion are mixed in, so the dip is creamy and crunchy. As a babaganoush lover, I thoroughly enjoyed this version! Without tahini the dip is lighter and brighter. Still their bababanoush ($9) is good with large chunks of eggplant and tons of tahini turning it creamy. It's just a touch sweet for me. For the carb conscious, the dips arrive without a pita ($1.50), so you won't be tempted. I wanted one with the eggplant and pepper... it's your regular run-of-the-mill thick pocketed pita. It's remarkable how much they can stuff in a pita. You'll need to unhinge your jaw to bite into lamb kefta in a pita ($18), the ground meat kebab juicy and each bite bringing different flavours. The bites with their zesty and slightly spicy amba sauce are my favourite and despite the abundance of onion, they're well soaked so the acidity is removed and a crunchy sweetness remains. Their sandwiches arrive solo but is enough to satisfy. The price for a side of French fries ($11) is a bit steep but it's a huge portion, enough to share amongst three. The beef shish kabob ($30) was a tad chewy but at least cooked well and perfectly seasoned and not overly salty. I recommend upgrading to their Greek salad ($4 supplement), a village style version containing large chunks of juicy ripe tomato, crunchy cucumber, briny creamy feta, and onions. Limon augments the salad with roasted red paper and capers adding a savoury smoky element that's delicious. If you're in the mood for beef, order the strip steak ($34) instead. It's less grizzly and you get a sizeable portion of meat cooked to your liking. With three pieces of fish arriving in the roasted rainbow trout ($30), this is a shareable main. It's well cooked with crispy skin and tender meat and simply topped with onions and pomegranate seeds. Having visited on three occasions, the sole visit the restaurant wasn't full was during a weekday lunch. And when it gets busy the ordering and paying process slows down as Limon creates a bottleneck by flowing both operations into one person, who I assume is the manager. Despite a number of workers, they seem to focus on serving, refilling water, and cleaning up. If you ask one to take an order or pay, the request gets redirected to the manager. What an odd way to slow down table turnover at a restaurant. Warning: the tightly packed tables create a loud ambient noise at the restaurant. It's a bit much at first, but as the meal progresses, I tuned it out. When the weather's nice and they open the front windows, it almost feels like you're sitting al fresco somewhere a bit more exotic than Midtown Toronto. A beautiful meal indeed.
