    At the start of dinner service on a busy Saturday night, they didn't have their featured menu item: lasagna. It was surprising since their menu is already very limited. Calamari was fine, and the mushroom pizza was good for those who like thin, crispy crust. Today, the special was pasta puttanesca, which had a very strong anchovy and caper flavour, but didn't have much sauce or olives. The staff were nice, but the bar area and the party room table were very dark; it seems hard to imagine that this was intentional. Otherwise, the ambiance was good-- red checkered tables to set the vibe. I would recommend this place to Annex locals.

    I went here with my friend to have dinner for my birthday. The service was amazing staff were quick and very attentive everyone was very friendly and helpful. The ambiance is relaxed not packed which was very nice, good music. We got our food fairly quick after ordering and everything was hot. The pizza was very good nice amount of toppings and cheese crust. I would definitely recommend the mushroom pizza the carmalized onions complemented the toppings so well, im not usually one to like tirimisu but it was DELICIOUS and I'd come back for it both pastas were both really good sauce was flavourful the rigatoni was a bit undercooked for my liking but still good overall, the Ceaser salad was the real star very flavourful and light so saucy which I loved and the texture from the crouton crumbs was fantastic.

    Another good experience at Raffaella. Such a cozy spot! The server was friendly and spoke about menu options. I ordered the pepperoni pizza (Raff's sauce). Very good sourdough pizza. Very thin pizza base. Pepperoni had a bit of a kick to it. I added the hot honey sauce on the side. I saved room for dessert and ordered the limoncello tiramisu. Loved the lemon curd and cream on top. I like limoncello in general, however, for me, the liqueur flavour in this was overpowering the rest of the dessert. Not sure if the cake had a good chance to soak up the liqueur or maybe just too much in it for my taste. I think I would stick to ordering the traditional one next time as I know it's tasty as well! The server brought a limoncello with grapefruit shot to finish. (And the rest of my pizza to go... leftovers are good next day!)

    Pizza review: Pizza size not listed on website, but was told was between 14" - 16" (pie definitely looked closer to 14"). Ordered 'Margherita' and requested well-done "if possible." Asked what was "Raff's Tomato Sauce," and was told it was "chef's grandmother's recipe." 6 varieties of pies and all for the same price of $23 (according to website; although was charged $21 (total) for my 'Margherita' pie during walk-in). Seemingly Neapolitan style (other than the size being larger, at about 14") Dough stiffened quickly (owing to thinness and smaller diameter) but was nicely thin with somewhat neutral flavour profile and small bit of pleasant char at some parts of outer edge. Sauce was on sweeter side of a tomato sauce. Cheese was the most prominent, and was at forefront, adding strong savouriness. Basil more minty than sweet. The sauce and cheese combined nicely to form the superb "orange" hue that is generally a sign of good combination; great savoury flavours from the cheese in combination with the slight sweetness of the (Raff's) tomato sauce created pleasant taste. With most pizzerias charging $17 - $19 for a 12" Margherita & $20 for 14," Raffaella asking $21 - $23 for any choice of six 14" pies isn't bad for Annex pricing, especially for a restaurant connected to a hotel (Raffaella sits at the ground level of the Annex Hotel). Good option for those seeking varied & creative Neapolitan style pizza in the Annex area, or those seeking the pleasant atmosphere of formal dining with the wide-ranging variety of foods and that Raffaella offers ('Napoli Centrale' at 964 Bathurst, off Bloor, is another good alternative for more pizza-focused fare). The recently opened 'Pizzeria Fornace' at Bloor & Bathurst offers a superior pie for those seeking strictly pizza, however.

    We were staying at The Annex right next door (great hotel) and decided to get some pizza. The vodka sauce, the annex, and truffle mushroom pizzas were all excellent! We liked it so much, we came back for dinner the next night. Also loved the feature tiramisu and crumble desserts. Room service to the hotel was clutch! Staff was very friendly. Ambiance was an old school vibe outdoors and cool night mood indoors. We will definitely come back next time we are in town!

    My friend from Sweden & I, from Iowa, US, found Donatello's quite by accident, close to our hotel,…read moreand will always remember it! The kind, attentive service was outstanding, the food exquisite, and sitting outside in the flower rimmed quiet patio made the ambiance just what we wanted. We had dinner there 3 out of the 5 evenings of our trip, it was so outstanding!!! And, we were welcomed warmly each night by Khalid, making us feel like VIP's! His menu suggestions & wine choices were perfect! And my sincere compliments to the Chef who prepared our fine appetizers, breads, pasta, and dessert. They deserve 5 stars! Truly excellent!!

    Donatello is considered a fine dining Italian restaurant. And it didn't disappoint. The foid and…read moreservice were excellent. The vibe was a slightly darkened room (for the evening). There is an upstairs balcony seating but I've never sat there. During warm weather, there is plenty of roadside outdoor seating too. This is my fourth time here but I never wrote a review fir the restaurant before. We ordered the following: 1. Shrimp Perno (daily special $6/shrimp). Jumbo Shrimp sautéed in garlic, white wine, tomatoes, scallions, and finished off with a shot of perno liquor. 2. Rack of Lamb (daily special $59.95). Four pieces of lamb in a rack, with a rich portion wine reduced sauce, that has a touch of mint to it, and Penne Pasta in a tomato rose sauce. The table bread was really good. The crust was crispy but the inside was fluffy. The soft butter that came it was so tasty. The bread was perfect for dipping in the sauce that came with the shrimp. We asked for a second basket of bread and they put two loafs in the second basket. It was too much so they were willing to let us take it home. The shrimps were definitely jumbo. It was so filling. Two pieces (per person) were good enough as an appetizer. The shrimps were perfectly cooked. We requested the lamb be cooked medium rare. It was definitely medium rare. It was juicy and did not have a gamey taste. It tastes great. The pasta was perfectly al dente. The tomato rose sauce was really good. They offered to grind parmesan cheese and pepper so we got both. There is free WiFi. The restaurant is wheelchair accessible. There is paid neighbourhood street parking and paid parking lots. Review 2025-187

My go to is still the mafalde ai fungi. Lasagna is a close second. It's amazing that it's freshly made and definitely warms you up on a cold night. Cant wait for patio season.

This restaurant came up in my search as one of the best Italian restaurants in the yorkville area so of course I had to give it a try. I was looking at reservations online and it was completely booked so I just tried my luck as a walk in for 1 and the hostess was incredibly sweet and got me seated. I ordered a glass of wine, the beef carpaccio and the cavatelli. Everything was absolutely delicious, BUT the service was incredibly lacking. The carpaccio came out relatively quick, but after that... silence. Not once did anyone come to check in on me, and I was sitting there for at least 30 minutes before finally flagging g down my server to ask about the status of my entree. After that it came out almost immediately. For this seemingly nicer restaurant in one of torontos most upscale neighborhoods, I had high expectations for this restaurant all around. I definitely recommend the food, can't say I recommend the experience.

Sometimes you just wanna go to a spot that has drinks, what's the different coffee options, and food, without being overly pretentious and fancy. this is your spot. It is located in a basement that is well decorated with a bar. Would recommend to anyone in the area when the other places are pricy or feel too overpriced for your post gym or hangover weekend friend group

This is a wine bar - the house lager was bad (maybe my own bad decision) and the red I got was fine ... nothing to write home about. However place fell apart with the food - the shrimp came with 5 medium sized shrimp with the tails, legs and shells on and were under seasoned. The artichokes were mediocre (loved the sauce they came with). Worst of all was the "Ontario peaches" with the burrata were totally canned peaches - could've even been dole brand! This place has amazing potential with the location and vibe - but the food just was not it. Small portions and the price didn't match what was served. The service was friendly but nothing too crazy. Go here for the drinks, but maybe not for the dinner!
