The service was lackluster, at best, but I eventually wound up ordering an iced coffee and the Cornetto Topo Gigio ("sheep's milk cheese, tomato, basil"). The coffee was fine. It was absolutely nothing special but it certainly hit the spot in the moment. The sandwich fared a lot better, as the fresh croissant and tasty cheese, tomato, and basil made for an extremely satisfying 'wich. The tiny seating area outside suited us just fine, too. It was perfect for a summer morning. So yeah, Sud Forno fit the bill for our lazy morning out. I'm curious to sample some of their heartier options, so I'm sure we'll be back eventually.

Came here for a business lunch on a Thursday. At 1144 the place was mostly empty, but by 1215 the…read moreentire restaurant and patio area were filled up. I would suggest reservations if you want to come at lunch hour. The restaurant is average overall. Some hits and some misses. I tried the octopus appetizer which was quite tender with a savory sauce. Save the sauce to dip your bread in! The bread was mediocre. I also tried their sausage pasta (tonnarelli alla norcina). It was cooked al dente by default, which was fine. The pasta was tossed in a garlic oil with truffle shavings and "spicy" sausage. There wasn't much flavour (the truffles weee somewhat aromatic, but there's not much else to taste) and their sausage was neither spicy nor was there much of it. Service was average, and there are definitely much better choices for lunch in the area in the same price range. 3/5 stars.

Service is great, warm, friendly, and attentive. My friend (i.e. the expert) ordered the food based on their favorites. Ordered chicken sag, baklava, kachapuri, and bread with eggpplant dipping sauce, dolma. My favorite is the eggplant dipping sauce. lol Chicken sag is good, but not the type of taste that suits my tastebud. I'd love to comeback to try other food (and this time I want to be the one doing the ordering instead). lol Cheers!

Came here for a super early dinner before our spring concert at the casa loma…read more I ordered the chicken shawarma hummus bowl along with their famous iced tea. The hummus itself was incredibly smooth, creamy, and full of flavor. The freshly baked bread served alongside was another standout as it was soft, pillowy, and perfect for scooping up every last bit of hummus. Unfortunately, the chicken shawarma itself was shopped up into a small pieces and was a little on the dry side. I was also excited to try their famous iced tea after reading the description, but it wasn't quite what I expected. It tasted more like a non alcoholic sangria with lots of fruit than a traditional iced tea. While it was refreshing, I was hoping for a stronger tea flavor, so it ended up being a bit of a letdown. Overall, there were definitely some highlights, especially the hummus and fresh bread. The staff were friendly but service was a little slow even though it wasn't very busy. We were a party of 9 and each dish came out one by one at different times so our kids were already done with their meal before our dishes came out. Portion size was surprisingly generous. It is a great option around the area and I would be open to return to try out other items on their menu.

My 1st review of June is not even in my country, the US. It was a year ago today, June 1, we left…read morefor our Niagara Falls/Toronto trip. This continues the 2025 alphabet series, C is for Cafe Landwer. On Tuesday, 6/3/25, we went to St. Lawrence Market; see my B is for Buster Sea Cove. Seems like we happened to go alphabetical for lunch/brunch as the next day Wed., 6/4/25. This place had good reviews. So, we got on TTC to Osgoode station and was a very close walk. It said established in 1919, so we thought it's a good sign it's been in business over a century; although not this location specifically. Their history in the 20th century was that they started in Berlin, Germany in 1919, but they were a Jewish family who ended up immgrating to Israel in 1933, opening their store there, and expanded locations throughout Israel. Their history in Toronto & North America (including some in the US) is much more recent since opening in 2017. Unfortunately, my closest is New York City; none in Maryland or DC area. This location is in busy downtown Toronto. We sat outside on their big patio area as the weather was warm and could enjoy the view of the buildings, people, cars, etc. Server was friendly answering our questions. I ended up getting an egg benedict with salmon in a croissant. It was creative and delicious take on egg benedict. The only issue was it was messy to eat in the croissant, but I didn't care as it was so delicious. My girlfriend got a Belgian waffle with blueberries, whipped cream, etc. It was unique and very good & sweet too as I tried a bite. Overall, this was a 5-star experience with great food, service, & atmosphere.

We sat for a while and no one took attention (we were outside and they were busy but no excuse for them -- they should do better). We had folks come in and out and were somewhat nonchalant and not attentive. Food: This was the great part of the experience. - Berries and Granola with Greek Yogurt: My brother in law got this an he devoured it and said it was great. - Farmers Breakfast: My wife got this and she LOVED it. She went back to get their Halwah Latte (which she said was just OK) - Egg white Omlette Skillet: I customized my food and it was good -- for reference I've had better only because the cheese was feta and it was unclear that this was the only option as I don't love feta. Also I'm pretty sure while I asked for egg whites there was normal egg (i.e., eggs). If you order egg white make sure the server hears you. They screwed this up for me. This is why I'm giving it three stars -- I could have made a stink but didn't think it was necessary to do so. All in all -- I'd recommend this spot to folks but don't go there thinking the service will be great.

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.

Came here because of the restaurant's 3rd anniversary 50% off celebration, and it turned out to be…read morea pleasant surprise. The restaurant is in Kensington Market, just a short walk from the TTC. Lasagna This is pretty much what I expect from a good lasagna. The top had a nice golden crust while the pasta layers underneath still had great texture. The meat sauce was packed with well-browned ground beef, giving it a rich, hearty flavor, and the melted mozzarella tied everything together beautifully. The tomato sauce was a little more acidic than my personal preference, but overall it's a well-executed lasagna with solid fundamentals. Tiramisu You can usually trust an Italian restaurant to make a good tiramisu, and this one definitely delivered. The first bite was full of coffee and liqueur aromas. The mascarpone was rich without feeling heavy, and the ladyfingers were fully soaked while still keeping just a little structure. What impressed me most was the balance between the mascarpone and the ladyfingers--they melted together into one smooth, moist bite instead of feeling like separate layers. At $9, it's the kind of dessert I'd happily stop by and pick up even without having a full meal. Even though the weather wasn't great today, this tiramisu definitely brightened my day. Happy 3rd anniversary! Wishing the restaurant many more successful years ahead, and I'll definitely be back to try more dishes.

It's a pretty cool little place. They have a whole restaurant inside but they've also got a space for takeout orders. I decided to keep it simple and just grab a latte to go.

And the balance of the milk was just about perfect. Pigeon seems pretty cool. I'll have to go back to check out their eats.
