Food 5/5 Service 5/5 Ambiance 5/5 Food: I ordered the Tagliatette alla bolognese & hubby had a charcuterie board. For dessert we had the nutella pizza. I also ordered some take out: a funghi pizza, bruschetta & papardelle al boscaiola. Everything was so delicious! Sip is one of our favourite restaurants because the food is always good & it's not overpriced. The Tagliatelle was perfectly cooked and the bolognese sauce so yummy. Hubby enjoyed the charcuterie board. And the nutella pizza is a little messy but still delicious. At home I shared the bruschetta with hubby. I don't know how they get the pizza crust so thin. However they make their pizza I still think it's the best pizza I've ever had in Toronto. Service: We had a lovely lady serviing us. She has always been there when we have come in the past. She is so efficient & graceful too. The dishes came out quickly and we were soon eating. We came on Valentine's Day for lunch & it wasn't busy. Ambiance: The restaurant was decorated for Valentine's Day with red balloons. It was pretty but if you're going to the bathroom (which is downstairs) I had to duck so the ribbons didn't get in my hair. The restaurant has a cozy & comfortable vibe. But at the same time it's classy. The lower level can be used as a private room. I've seen families holding celebrations down there.The washrooms are clean & well maintained. I would definitely come back here again for a meal. It's too bad it's on a side street. It would probably get more attention. I think the food at Sip is better than Grazie actually, which is also nearby. read more

Sip Wine Bar has become our regular spot for a reason. The atmosphere is always warm and friendly, and the service is consistently excellent--genuinely welcoming every time we come back. The food is reliably tasty, with plenty of great salad options, and their panna cotta deserves a special mention: I've tried this dessert in many restaurants, and Sip's version is hands‑down the best. Over time I've worked my way through the entire menu and loved every dish. Highly recommend. read more

I'm going to round up to 4 stars here. We stumbled upon this neighborhood wine bar while on a Friday night, walking along Yonge. The beautiful lights at the window invited us in, and the sweet rustic ambiance inside kept us intrigued. It was fairly busy, but we were able to get a spot for two by the window. My friend and I grabbed a half litre carafe of house white wine, which was nice and light. Since we were pretty hungry, we grabbed one pizza each - the Napoli and Amalfi. The pizza was pretty decent, I've had better, but that's not the point. The anchovies on the Napoli added a nice salty kick, and the Amalfi with lemon was quite interesting. Little more sauce would have helped I think. Overall, it's a wonderful little neighborhood restaurant that's a little more refined. Reasonable pricing, and very attentive staff - you can't go wrong! read more

We had a tasty meal here the other night. We tried the soup which was very tasty, maybe a little thin but very good. We had the burrata salad to start, it was ok but the tomatoes weren't really ripe which is a key part of course so that was a little disappointing. The enjuja pizza was really very tasty I must say. The mixture of creamy cheese with their sweet and salty tomato sauce was a magical combination. The crust was good but if I was being super fussy I'd say it was not quite up to the best napolatana pizza I've ever had but on whole very good. Dessert we had panna cotta and it was just ok. I found the consistency too solid. Usually it is sort of light and creamy but this one was too hard and dense.. Otherwise not bad... So good and bad here.. read more

I would recommend making reservations, especially for a group more that 4. There were nonoroblems waiting, and in fact my party was already seated while we were waiting in line. So that is a bit of a tweak that can he addressed. When folks are waiting in line, a few staff members did not seem to greet the folks behind the first group, which seemed a bit impersonal in such s small waiting area. The resto itself may be in an unintentional competition with the steps-away Grazie up the street on Yonge. The service was good, the complementary bird sized bread not nearly enough for 6 folks, but thoughtful. The chacouterie platter good quality at a premium price. The pizza definately best value in the plafe, authentic wood oven in the exposed kitchen straight to table. Pasta seemed ok and a bit pedestrian (in fairness I did not try). The calamari was good with a few shrimps, fresh and flavorful. Overall a swank, off Eglinton resort with fresh and authentic flavour. Definately with a look! -Zuk read more

It's Easter Sunday and am all alone so I see what is open so I can order dinner and I choose Sip Wine Bar. This is my first time ordering from there and my last. I ordered through Uber eats and 10 mins later I get a notification that my order has been canceled. WTF!!! It's a very poor time to be picky with customers and I think it's just a matter of time until they fizzle away. Very rude place. read more

Very busy but seated within a decent amount of time. Took awhile for the food to come out, but considering how packed it was, no one was to blame! Servers were running off their butts and amazing!! I just found the food nothing special. The pasta lacked flavour. Mine had mussel shells that had broken and I had to pick them out. However, decor was beautiful and the atmosphere was there. Just the food was lacking for me. read more

I didn't take any pictures, but the photos that are on the yelp page for this restaurant are very accurate to what we saw when we ate there. I found that the foods were a little bland. The server was absolutely lovely. But he was definitely in the weeds. He was struggling to get to all his tables. It's a lovely restaurant. The interiors are quite nice and I found the lighting was excellent. read more

Their calamari was by far my favourite ! I got the diavola pizza - thin crust , salsa and light on cheese . I personally like my pizza with the wonderful coat of cheese so was a 3.5/5 for me . Venue : very cute date night vibes but we came here for a birthday so also accommodated our group of 9. Service : very very impressive ! Always provided genuine advice and ensured we were satisfied with the options we chose Wine : wonderful selection of bottles ! read more

Had lunch here in the summer and I've been meaning to go back ever since. I recently went for dinner with a co-worker for dinner and we both enjoyed our meals. I had a pizza and really enjoyed it - loved the chewy, crisp crust! My co-worker had the papardelle and said it was delicious. We also had a couple glasses of wine, which were well-priced and very enjoyable. I was very impressed with our server as he was extremely polite and knowledgeable about the menu, which I expect at most places, but don't always get. Will definitely return. read more

Sip Wine Bar is a pleasant surprise that I unearthed entirely on accident. While looking for a last minute dinner spot for a celebration, we came across this restaurant. Luckily, they had availability to take a group of 5 of us in for dinner on a Friday night. I've noticed that this is rare for most restaurants in Toronto, which require at least two weeks notice. This restaurant has a really great atmosphere and pleasant interior. It also has a nice patio for eating outside. The service is wonderful! Our waiter provided recommendations, checked in with us often, and put real care into his service. His name was Manuel. I tried the funghi pizza, penne alla vodka with rose vodka sauce, and creme brûlée. Each dish was exceptional. The pizza was crispy on the outside, while soft on the inside. The mushrooms complimented the tomato sauce and mozzarella perfectly. The pasta was creamy and filled with flavour. But the best part was 100% dessert. This was easily one of the best creme brûlée's I have ever had. I would truly recommend it if you have a sweet tooth. Overall, I will certainly come back to this spot. Impressed by their service, atmosphere, menu selection, and quality. read more

Ordered the following items: - ceasar salad was bland - lamb chops (asked for medium) was well done and was given 3 tiny chops as big as my pinky finger. This should have been under appetizers. $32 for this mind you. - pizza was partially burnt - risotto was not creamy at all and the seafood overcooked as well All this came 1 hour from placing the order. I know risotto takes some time to cook but not 1 hr long and it was not even good. Other guests who came in after us got their food ahead of us as well. We were nice and respectful to the host and waiter and so I dont think we offended anyone. We are visibly minorities however and so it seems like the only explanation, or maybe their cooks are just not properly trained and unorganized, and cooked the food of people who came in after us and rushed preparing our food. They clearly thought 3 pinky sized lamb chops was worth $32 and serving a guest. Laughable establishment. read more

We had a lovely evening at Sip! Our waiter was absolutely amazing, and just about anything could be made gluten free. The atmosphere was lovely, quiet enough for conversation and not packed. I had the mushroom risotto and it was delicious. My friend had the bolognese and said it was the best she had ever had. Prices were so reasonable, way better than most Toronto restaurants. couldn't recommend more! read more

My favourite spot in my neighborhood. Their mushroom risotto and pizza are amazing. Also very authentic as I am pretty picky when it comes to Italian food. read more

SIP Wine Bar is a new Italian place in the Yonge-Eg area; it's at Yonge/Broadway so you'll have to walk a couple blocks north of Eglinton. When my pal and I went on a Thursday night, it was packed in spite of the disgusting weather outside. There's a bar area surrounded by the dinking room - it looks like a small place from the outside, but you can easily fit 50 people in here. We were seated right by the kitchen - don't worry, this place is clean as I was able to see this right from where I was sitting. I had a pizza with spicy salami - it was okay. My pal had the rissotto and she was not a fan, unfortunately. We ordered a couple glasses of wine. For a wine bar, the wine menu is limited. The food here is a-ok, but it's quite expensive... Good for: pizza, wine read more

Ordered the seafood linguine for pick up. Order was there when promised and service was fine. There was only one shrimp and no calamari at all. Also the dish was overly salty. Don't think we will be ordering from here again. read more

My review is based upon delivery only. I randomly found this on the foodora app, and it is my go to choice for my pasta cravings. I've had their meatballs, which have so much flavor, and I don't find them hard like other places. Enough tomato sauce too, to keep it from getting dry. Their burrata is so fresh and filling! I am not a fan of regular tomato slices, but the ones they use compliment the cheese so well. They are so juicy and don't have a soggy texture. For pasta, I always get the agnolotti in the cream sauce with the black truffle paste. Holy moly it is good!! I find restaurants can really give you such a small portion on these type of dishes, but I find there's enough for leftovers. The sauce isn't overly heavy, and the taste is incredibly luxurious (is that possible to say?) My folks always get the tiger shrimp and swordfish, and they thoroughly enjoy their meal every time! For dessert, I get their white chocolate cheesecake. This has got to be some of the best cheesecake I've ever had. I'm not a fan of the fruit compote on top, but I just scrape it off. The cheesecake is not dense, and is perfectly creamy. The crust compliments it so well, and I think it's time to order some delivery for later tonight! read more

Great wine list ! Pizza was delicious. Service was alright! I liked their wine list the most ! Would come back next time to try more wine when I am not driving :) read more

So Sip Wine Bar's been in my neighborhood for several years now, and I only just checked it out. And as it turns out, the place is pretty dang awesome. We arrived around lunchtime on a Saturday and the joint was almost empty. Our server was friendly and efficient, even though he asked if we wanted complimentary bread. (Like, don't ask! Just bring the bread over and I'll gobble it down. If you ask, I start to feel calorie-conscious and I can't help but say no.) Anyway, I decided to try the Tagliatelle alla bolognese ("tagliatelle in a traditional bolognese meat sauce"). Although I would hardly rank this among the best bolognese sauces I've ever tried - it was missing that deep richness you associate with the very best bolognese - this was a very tasty dish. The pasta was perhaps just a little overcooked but the plentiful sauce more than made up for it. The meat was cooked well (i.e. it wasn't bouncy) and the tomato sauce was relatively flavorful (and was enhanced by the sprinkling of parmesan and parsley atop the dish). There are almost too many Italian restaurants in the Yonge and Eglinton area, but Sip Wine Bar definitely deserves its place among them. read more

Good vibe, good food, good service. Would definitely recommend the pizza and bruschetta!

The service at the Sip Wine Bar has always been welcoming, exceptionally attentive and kind. I have gone with friends and family and have always enjoyed good recommendations of wine; excellent salads - the Insalata di rucola is a favorite. On a recent visit the Spaghetti alle primizie dell'orto and the Linguine allo scoglio were exceptional. A little more alcohol in the Tiramisu would have made that perfect, yet Sip Wine Bar will definitely remain a favorite. read more

Another great restaurant in the Yonge-Eglinton area. I have been here many times and always left feeling happy with the service and a full stomach. Staff is so friendly and I especially like Raimondo who is a very nice charismatic server. He always helps you with recommendations and to pair your food with wine. Sometimes if you're there late just before they close the restaurant offers a thing or two on the house. When it comes to their prices it's not bad. I would say it's decently priced, like most other Italian restaurants. A great tip is to check Groupon for offers, considering they regularly offer gift vouchers for a highly discounted price! This makes the already decent prices even better! If you are in the Yonge-Eglinton area it's definitely worth checking it out! read more

Came on a Friday night with a few girlfriends, with the intention to relax over a glass of wine. The place is pack and cozy... Be mindful when you move around or even leaning back in your chair! For those who don't mind the intimate environment, the pizza, gnocchi and vino is worth going for. There`s a large list of pizza options, too many to choose. Each plate portion may ne sharable too (more the merrier). Bring some friends to try a bit of everything Going downstairs to the washroom, I noticed theres a dining room you may have a party meal. The area looks great for a gathering of family and friends! read more

I checked out this place tonight with a fellow yelper and I'm really being generous with the two stars that I'm giving this place. The décor is decent and warm but from the moment you walk in, the atmosphere doesn't really feel all that welcoming. I arrived first and decided to wait at the bar. The wine was actually very fruitful and tasty - I believe it was the Riesling, it was good and I would recommend it. When my friend arrived, we found service deteriorated. She had trouble getting the bartenders attention. After a few minutes, I went to the hostess to ask for a table and she was totally inconspicuous to the fact that there were two of us sitting at the bar or that we had even come into the place. We were offered two tables: one next to the door where a construction truck was positioned outside or the "chef's table" which was basically in the kitchen. Once seated, service continued to be slow at best and the place was full but not busy. The meal was underwhelming. I am not one to analyze what I am eating except when I'm trying to figure out why I love or hate the dish. In this case, I was wondering why with every spoonful my glass of water needed to be close at hand. I ordered one of their risotto dishes and after much reflection, I believe the risotto was undercooked and it had been cooked in WAY too much truffle oil. On the positive side, there were a good number of mushrooms in the dish and they were cooked perfectly. All in all, for the price you pay, it's not worth it. I doubt I'll be back. read more

My mother always said hate is a strong word but I think I hate this place. Let me set the scene: Exhausted mom of a 7-month-old baby (who happens to be teething AND is sick) excitedly orders insalata di rucola, frittura mista (this was just auto corrected to frittura mistake! Ha!), diavola, and the panna cotta. Yes, yes,yes... This was all for me. I'm still nursing the baby so I'm burning through calories. I'm starving! Nearly one hour later (fine.. Not ideal but I can handle that) the food arrives. I'm speechless. Take a look at the picture. The panna cotta is literally a hot mess. Disgusting. The pizza is cold and looks like it was sitting around all day I don't understand what happened here! I live a few blocks from this place. Did the delivery dude do some boxing-week shopping before dropping by with my food? Did the kitchen pack my panna cotta with the pizza? What the bleep! Regarding the taste of the food, the salad dressing was super sweet. The ingredients themselves I think were actually quite nice.. It was just hard to taste through the dessert-like dressing. The pizza had good components too.. Especially that spicy salami. It was just old by the time it got here. I wasn't a fan of the frittura mistake, although the dipping sauce was really good. The basil really came through yum yum I'm still dumbfounded by the panna cotta. Here's the joke: when I'm hungry I go crazy and have super low standards. Time to email the restaurant. Yep, after taxes and tip $70 down the drain. Needless to say, I do not recommend this place. read more

Just had an opportunity to try this new Italian establishment in the Yonge and Eglinton area. Visited on a Friday around 7 pm and didn't have to wait. First impression of decor was just ok. Nothing special but nice and cosy. We were seated at our table and then tableware and wine glasses were set. They were busy and in their first week of operation so ill cut them some slack. Table was wobbly so I had to add some bar napkins at the bottom to stabilize. Ordered the house red wine and two pizzas from the menu. Pizzas arrived relatively fast. We ordered both the margherita and spicy salami pizzas. Pizzas were relatively good but not really comparable to Libretto or Tennessee Williams in Ottawa. The wine came after the pizza arrived. Service was good considering they were busy and having some computer issues. They also don't take American Express which was slightly inconvenient. Overall am happy I tried it and may visit again in the future especially if more vegetarian pasta items are added to the menu. read more

A year later...and I'm kicking it up a star for this neighbourhood wine bar! I've now eaten here several times and the pizza is really and truly excellent. Probably my favourite pizza anywhere uptown. The crust is addictive; the flavours delicious. My favourite pie is the Diavola with spicy salami....which I always enjoy with some 'hot oil' on the side for extra kick. Wine offerings are quite good (this being a wine bar, after all)...and the servers are always happy to bring you a complimentary tasting to help you make a selection. Plus, the space, all exposed brick, is uber cool. But be careful...some pizzas are 'bianca' which means white, aka no sauce. It clearly says "Bianca" on the menu but in case your Italian isn't great, I thought I'd mention it. My friend ordered one without realizing it but the server happily brought her a side of marinara sauce for dipping. In conclusion, PIZZA. read more

I was extremely disappointed with this restaurant. I told the waiter right away that I cannot eat black pepper. So I asked does the mushroom risotto have black pepper and he said no. So I ordered it and when I received it I tasted it and it seemed to be spicy. So I asked the waiter again when he came by, does the risotto have black pepper and he said why are you allergic? I said yes and he went to ask the back and came back and took my plate away. I was very upset because I had told him at the very beginning and he completely ignored it. I will never go back there again. And needless to say their customer service is a zero. read more

I ordered the Funghi pizza which comes with cheese, mushrooms and basil. The cost was about $18 after taxes. This pizza was not worth the money and taste was nothing special. You're better off going to Pi Co down the street, not only will the taste and selection be better but also cheaper. Place looks nice but food seems over rated. read more

Amazing bruschetta! I have not had a bruschetta like this one before. It was unique in the authentic Italian style. Super yummy! It goes well with their Pino Grigio wine. Their Diavola pizza was good, too but I liked the bruschetta much more. Their portions are big so if you don't eat a lot, you could even share your bruschetta. Noting their wine bar label, this place would be a good spot to just grab wine and chat with friends as well. Service was excellent but at times it was a little confusing because there were around three to four servers who brought us food, drinks and the bill. I would come back to try different dishes. read more

Extremely fresh pizza dough, ingredients, great calamari, and salads. Perfect to bring family or friends, lunch or dinner. The wine is great too. My one beef with this place is that it is never open late. Even when the hours say they are open they are normally closing or already closed. Experienced this three times! North York have few places that stay open after 10:00pm and if a group want a late drink before going home (and come on, 10, 11, pushing midnight, is not late!), please stay open or at least stay open until your hours say. You are missing revenue by closing early. read more

3.5 STARS Discovered this place by accident as me and my friend were walking by. We decided to check it out and were quite surprised! The inside of this place is really nice - a great first date, 5th date or just hanging out with friends celebrating a birthday kinda place. The warm and inviting ambiance just lends itself for you to sit back and spill all your secrets here! It's pretty big inside as well so it can handle larger groups. We were here on a Wednesday and the place was packed. Since we had already eaten elsewhere, we just ordered a pizza to share - Margherita pizza. This is enough for 2 people - 2 big slices. I've had better, but it was ok. I was expecting more basil but the mozza was pretty nice. The staff are really friendly and I am definitely going to come back and try some other items off the menu. The prices are pretty reasonable so I am excited for summer (when will the warm weather come??!) to come back here. read more

Stopped in for some pizza on Friday with my husband. Based off of prior reviews we ordered the bruschetta and Diavola pizza to share. I was so happy with both options. The bruschetta is not typical it is mostly tomatoes with seasoning on top of a thick bread. The pizza had huge slices of spicy sausage OMG that sauce was to die for. Closest I have got in a long while to true Italian flavors outside of when I went to Italy. You get what you pay for here with huge portion sizes. We each got a glass of wine (I got the house white) which was tart and paired well with my meal. This place is really good and I would highly recommend you stop in. The lack of a star is due to the slow service and the loudness inside the restaurant. read more

This place is amazing. New favourite place to go, hands down. I went with a friend on a Friday night around 630 and just beat the rush. We shared the Calzone and the Risotto al Funghi. Both were authentic and so tasty. Our server, Luisa, was very friendly and attentive. After we finished, we were chatting and finishing our wine when a manager, Carm, came over and asked us if we would mind moving to the bar (as there was now a lineup to get in) and that our next drinks were on him. We didn't mind at all and he was very pleasant and appreciative. He also gave us a full tour of the restaurant when we casually asked him what used to occupy the space (turns out it was apartments). He took the time to make our experience extra special. While at the bar we met Sully, the bartender. She made us two drinks she had been working on: a mojito with a twist and what she calls a "cucumber basil Sully". They were both fabulous. She is an absolute delight and a great bartender! The owner, Vince, even came over and introduced himself and thanked us for our business. I can't say enough good things about this place. Everyone was so incredibly friendly and gracious and our experience was absolutely outstanding. read more

This location was alright. We were not sure what to expect. It's more of an upscale dining location that serves wine and some high end dishes. The food was alright, nothing special and the drinks were about average. The bill for the food and the service we got was quite high. We have considered going back a few times to give it another shot, but have always opted against it. If you love wine, this may be the place for you. read more

So happy to know this restaurant/bar is still operating during COVID. My little family is always happy and comfortable going here and we look forward to brighter days coming.

We'll continue visiting this warm and welcoming place. read more

These chefs and waiters know exactly what they're doing. Raymondo was one of the best servers I've ever had. He cared about every lady detail of our meal. Our table got a variety of dishes to share and they were all impressive. There is much more than pizza. the lamb was succulent, flavourful and fresh. The pizza was authentically delicious. The calamari was lightly breaded and seasoned to perfection. The seafood risotto was nice (not a show stopper). Check this place out. Much better than the other Italian restaurants in the area. I will definitely come back. read more

OK, second chance. I came back here to give them another chance. As a compliment, Front of the house was nice,good ambience (if a bit quiet at 4:30pm on a Monday), friendly man serving at the bar. I ordered the mussels in tomato sauce. Unfortunately, as with my previous review, it was underseasoned (they don't use enough salt), and underflavoured. Even worse, about 5 or 6 mussels in the batch had broken shells. This means that someone didn't take the care to ensure that all of the shellfish was fresh, clean and alive at the time of cooking. You know the rules about shellfish, right? I thought that was the chef's job to ensure that substandard food doesn't go out of the kitchen. I just hope I don't get sick tonight from bad mussels. I don't think I'll be giving them a third chance. read more
