This was my second visit to Oretta Midtown, and it definitely won't be my last. One of the biggest…read morereasons I keep coming back is their ability to accommodate for a gluten allergy. As someone with celiac disease, it's rare to find a restaurant where I feel so well accommodated without sacrificing quality or flavour. The space itself is gorgeous; chic, stylish, and perfect for either a date night or a girls' night out. The service was equally impressive. Our server was attentive from start to finish, knowledgeable about gluten-free options. We started with the green salad, which was incredibly fresh and tossed in a delicious, bright vinaigrette. The grilled zucchini was another standout; the zucchini ribbons were such a unique presentation, with fresh, balanced flavours that really let the ingredients shine. The octopus was absolutely phenomenal: perfectly cooked, butter-tender, and honestly one of the best I've had anywhere in the city. The highlight, though, is the gluten-free pizza. We ordered the Capricciosa, and if no one told you it was gluten-free, you'd never know. The crust is crisp yet chewy, and tastes like a traditional pizza, definitely not a compromise. It's easily one of the best gluten-free pizzas in Toronto. Oretta Midtown continues to be a neighborhood gem. Highly recommend, whether you're gluten-free or not!

It has 2 floors that take up a lot of space along with a pretty patio. Have been there for brunch although it's a little bit on the sweeter side than a regular brunch menu. Their dinner menu is extensive with appetizers, pizzas, and pastas - and they have cute pink take-out boxes for their pizzas. They also have lovely floral printed silk pajamas that many of their servers wear ... I asked about it and I think they said it was something like $500 or maybe more but so so pretty :) Love the colors, prints, and branding. Staff were friendly and efficient. Recommended for a fun night out.

Once entered we were greeted by the hostess who sat us down quickly as we had reservations for the evening. The service was mediocre as the waitress did not really give us any suggestions or explain the menu well. It was more my girlfriend and I trying to figure things out on our own. The food was delicious and was the main scorer for this restaurant. I had no complains regarding it and would go back specifically for the food. From a personal standpoint I was not fond of the atmosphere as there was a baby crying throughout the majority of my dinner and a toddler at the bar with his parent which seemed a bit strange to me. Bottom line if you want good eats, I would give this place a shot. But if your are going for the atmosphere, expect it to be very dark and possibly have children crying inside or at the bar.

We came during switch over between breakfast to lunch, so our server hopefully got us some drinks while we waited for the kitchen to turn over. Typical beer and alcohol options but enough for you to find what you would like. For food, we got the fried green beans, the quesadilla, and the fish tacos. The food was surprisingly good and upscale compared to typical bar food. Due to its proximity to the nearby expo area, it does get crowded after game time or if there is a convention happening. Definitely worth a visit.

Husband also enjoyed his duck confit. I bet this is a sweet spot for brunch. Bottom line, awesome first experience and we'll be back, bien sur.

This must be the place!…read more Our first trip to Toronto and boy did we have fun. From delicious food to sipping wine, and everything in between, Toronto was a city to explore. Ladybug Wine Bar is a cute but also sophisticated wine bar located on King Street, steps away from shopping and restaurants. We stopped in here on a snowy Sunday before our flight home. They also serve Sunday Brunch. We grabbed a few open seats at the comfy bar. They do not offer wine flights, which made this experience pretty darn expensive but SOOOO worth it. We had such a fun time and the people working were so nice, we honeslty did not want to leave. They were willing to help with our selections. We actually ordered all their Reds by the glass. I know, but there were only about 6 and we had to try them all. I like to say "go big or go home" LOL! We loved almost all except for maybe a few. We ended up also ordering a charcuterie while we sip. And of course I brought a bottle home with me. If you are ever in Toronto, please check out Ladybug wine bar, it is fantastic, you won't want to leave. Cheers!

A Hidden Gem for Brunch!!…read more I came here with 3 of my girlies that love brunch. Everything we ordered was fresh, light, and absolutely delicious. We started with some drinks which were super affordable compared to other brunch places. The espresso martinis weren't too sweet and had the perfect balance. As for the dishes the standout for me was the smoked salmon toast. The combination of the eggs, fresh dill, and sliced salmon on top of toast was so yummy. Service was nice and the place was cozy/bright. Highly recommend this spot for a girls' brunch or casual date.

Their menu is built around small plates, which makes it easy to order a few dishes to share or sample different flavors in one visit. My favorite item is the lamb sandwich. I order it almost every time because it's just that good. Another reason I love this place is that it's open late into the night. After an event or a night out, it's one of my favorite spots to stop for something delicious when most kitchens are already closed. I also like that the menu changes from time to time. There are always some familiar favorites, but it's fun to come back and discover new dishes as well. The atmosphere is another highlight. The space is small and intimate, with dim lighting, candles on the tables, and sometimes a DJ playing music in the background. It has a cozy, relaxed vibe that makes it a great place to spend an evening. It's one of those restaurants I find myself coming back to again and again.
