    Cute spot for Italian food. Lots of yummy options on the regular and seasonal menu. The server was very nice and attentive. we tried the Caesar salad and lasagna. Both were very nice! Really tasty.

    Lasagna
    Tawnya H.

    Small family owned business- the dinner was good, the tiramisu was amazing! Service was on point. Wine was definitely from Italy, I liked that it felt so homey and like part of their family. They clearly have poured their hearts into taking care of their plants and and making you feel comfortable.

    Smoked salmon in vodka sauce with 4 rashes of perfect bacon. Sinful and delish!

    Very tasty food, the waitstaff kinda forget about you, but the food was worth the wait.

    Eggplant Walnut Dip
    David Y.

    Portici was ok, nothing outstanding but also not bad. Got the eggplant walnut dip (good amount, standard taste), pinsa contadina (liked how it had a smokiness to it but would have liked more toppings since the bread part was overpowering) and seafood lasagna (super cheesy so yum, but would have liked more seafood). Great patio. Service was friendly and efficient. Prices were good, especially for the Yorkville area.

    Seafood Pasta

    The dish I ordered was linguine de la mer. It was delicious! I also had a glass of Peroni. I enjoyed the quiet ambiance and very well maintained interior. The service was very good. The washroom was very clean and nicely decorated. I will come back.

    Avocado Toast and a Mimosa
    Rachel M.

    Met up with a friend at Four Seasons on a Sunday. We had planned to eat but didn't pick a restaurant so when she mentioned Portici, I was happy to try it out. She recommended it for the pizza but when we got there they informed us they only make breakfast. We gave it a go anyways. This restaurant is by Yorkville but not in the thick of it so even though we sat outside and did a bit of people watching, it was very calm and less crowded. Also, the staff was really sweet which added to the pleasant atmosphere. The food all tasted good. I went with the avocado toast and it was quite nice, though if I'm being honest nothing that stands out as being truly unique. The mimosa was also a nice balance of juice and alcohol. Being so close to Yorkville, this place is fairly expensive. I think my meal was over $30 for a slice of Avocado Toast (where the bread wasn't toasted but was fresh) and a mimosa. However, the quality was good so I was okay spending what I spent, especially given the area.

    Funghi pizza

    Penne chicken pesto pasta, pizza funghi, and a fruity af white wine sangria the perfect dinner after a long day of work preparing for the new school year (with a new friend!) Service is always on point, and the amount of Parmesan always generous. A staple for consistent, tasty Italian food near the Yonge and Bloor area, just east of central yorkville. #pizza #pasta #yorkville #toronto #patio

    One of the bests in toronto. Try once you will see I am right. Good location tasty food

    I had some time to waste while waiting for an appointment but it was too early to have dinner. I just needed something light to bridge the gap. I remember walking past Caffe di Portici a few weeks ago so I thought I'd see what they have. Oh, I thought this was a coffee shop. It's much more than that! It's an Italian restaurant that happens to serve coffee. They serve all kinds of Italian food here, including salad, pasta, sandwiches, pizza, desserts, and much more. All I want is a coffee, this time. My friendly server had actually greeted me before I stepped inside and was very helpful in walking me through their menu. With his help, I chose the Espresso Crema Shakerato - A layer of cold milk cream over iced coffee frothed in a shaker & flavour shot. It sounded really good on a hot day. It was good! Rich and creamy. I'll have to come back to try some of their food.

    Chicken penne

    It's a nice place. Friendly service. Sadly, I am only giving three stars (at least for now). First, the chicken penne I ordered was a surprisingly mild and a bit bland for my taste. Don't get me wrong. There is nothing wrong with the food. Just made a wrong pick. Second, bees (or wasps?) kept sitting on the food while we were eating at the patio. It was quite bothersome. As much as it's not the restaurants direct fault, it just destroyed the experience. Having said all that, it's a decent restaurant, and I am quite willing to go back. I look forward to editing my review for the better.

    This place is a decent find in this area. I came here for a last min brunch on a weekend as most of the other bookmarked spots nearby had a wait. Place is a simple and too the point. I ordered the smoked salmon with a bagel and it came with a side of a bean salad and fresh fruit on the side. The cappuccino I ordered was forgettable. Poorly frothed milk and a bitter shot. No latte art. I don't enjoy lavazza beans much so too each their own here. The smoked salmon was decent and I enjoyed the salad as it was decent. Service is OK. Once one factors in the price component for this area it is a bit of bargain and a good value for this area. 3 Stars and I might come back to try a pizza.

    Quattro formaggi frittata
    Cynthia M.

    I used to love this place for brunch, but to be honest, it's not nearly as good as it used to be. There are only three items on the Sunday brunch menu and it's mediocre at best. I'd give it one star if not for their lunch and dinner items. Pizza is pretty good.

    Don't walk/drive too fast, as you'll miss the place.

Drinks I tried: Maple Goguma Latte - Slightly nutty, lightly sweet, and super comforting. I added a shot of espresso, which made it perfectly balanced and not too sweet. Dalgona Latte - A really fun drink with great texture. Just make sure to stir it well since the sweetness settles at the bottom. They're known for their creative, seasonal drink menu, and I'm already excited to come back to try what they release next season. Definitely a must-visit if you love cozy cafés, unique drinks, and supporting local artists.

The only reason that this isn't a 5 star is that their drinks are definitely on the sweet side and this is throughout their locations - think they can scale back on the sugar for sure! Opted for their new seasonal mango sticky rice matcha latte which was really good and loved the bits of sticky rice in my drink. But it was on the sweeter side of things. Would've been perfect if they scaled back on the sugar content. Overall, delicious drinks with a rotating seasonal menu. Worth checking out, especially their new space is great for enjoying your cup of caffeine.

It was also huge, and I had to take half of it home with me. The focaccia bread is excellent, and serves as a sort of bowl for this deconstructed kebab. My husband had his usual Cobb Salad, which he thinks is particularly well done at Landwer's. Our other dining companion had schnitzel, which came with some angel hair pasta. He enjoyed it very much. Service is, as I said above, "relaxed". If you are planning to see a concert or show afterwards, then plan ample time to allow the relaxed service to unfold (a.k.a this is not fast food!!) We had a 6:00 reservation, and we were able to make our 7:30 concert time with about 10 minutes to spare. The University location is conveniently located near Thompson Hall, the subway, and Union Station (Via Rail and Go).
