    Modern, chilled ambience with a great bar and warm service; the massive "elephant ear" pork cutlet is crispy, tender and can feed a table, the braised short-rib agnolotti in roast sauce is rich, silky, and amazingly different. A top spot in T.O.

    I'd give this place a solid 4/5. Went here recently for a friend's birthday and I quite enjoyed the food. I was able to try some bites of a few dishes, and I would definitely say the highlights are the (1) fungo fungo fungo gnocchi and the (2) the elephant ear cutlet. The fungo gnocchi was super mushroomy and absolutely full of flavour - if you're a mushroom fan, this is the one for you! The elephant ear cutlet dish was MASSIVE and very tasty - definitely a dish that can be shared with the entire table. My only complaint of this place was the portion sizes.. I found them on the small side and I was honestly disappointed by the quantity given the price you pay.. I left the place still hungry. Tasty food though~

    We went to a lip stick making class and were looking for somewhere to eat. We stumbled upon Stelvio and decided to check it out. The restaurant is beautiful, service is a bit slow and when we went there was only one other couple dining. The issue with the restaurant is everything is so expensive and the portions are so small for how much you pay. The food was good, presented beautifully, but very pricey.

    Northern Italian style food, a bit different from your traditional Italian food. Overall the food is decent, however, I find it extremely oily and greasy in some cases, more like your typical Italian pasta. For two of us, we had an appetizer, two pasta, and a meat dish, glass of wine, sparkling water. Total about 200. You can get better Italian food for way less in my opinion. Service was great, but it's not a place I would go back frequently, not worth the money imo.

    Hidden on Dundas West of Bathurst, this Italian eatery is an absolute gem. Energetic, busy, noisy in a good way. Enjoyed a wonderful appetizer of flattened, seasoned meatballs - MONDEGHILI and then my main - gnocchi with artisanal sausage, mushrooms and truffles - GNOCCHI CASERECCI AL TARTUFO and accompanied it with an absolute wonderful glass of Abramo riserva barrique-le rive. But what made this experience that much better was the attention and service from the bartender. She was extraordinarily nice, attentive and did not try to insert herself into my experience beyond need. Yes, I sat at the bar. Absolutely wonderful experience and will definitely be back with friends.

    Impressive! Great waiter, great food, great vibes makes for a great time. Great delivery on the cocktails creations. Small menu makes for easy pickings but stop what you're doing right this instant and check the elephant ear schnitzel below. P.S. Amazing greenery but that monstera needs work ;)

    Risotto Ossobucco

    Meal Quality: Started with a Sciatt appetizer that was delightfully crunchy on the exterior and filled with a smooth & creamy cheese on the interior. For the main course, I was very impressed by their Risotto alla Milanese con Ossobucco. Its saffron risotto was was the best that I have ever had and the braised veal shank was sheer perfection! I paired this with a delicious glass of Cabernet Franc that even further brought out the flavors of the ossobucco. As for dessert, sometimes it is best not to choose just one, so the Torta di Mele e Gelato and the Tiramisu were decadent choices and I paired it with a nice Italian liqueur. Aesthetic Appeal & Atmosphere: Enjoyed a nice evening outdoor meal on a lively street Service: My waitress was phenomenal and very helpful. As she was a former customer herself, she essentially ordered gave me her personal recommendations and I followed them the whole way through the evening. She said it was her first day, but I'd swear she had been perfecting her craft for many years! RATINGS: Meal Quality: 5 of 5 Aesthetic Appeal & Atmosphere: 5 of 5 Service: A blazing 5 of 5!

    First time at Stelvio- wasn't as good as I'd hoped. We ordered some fritti mozzarella bites and they were good- but definitely needed a dipping sauce. Or maybe I'm just too used to real mozzeralla sticks with marinara. I wouldn't recommend it. I ordered the pasta special which was a gnocchi with truffle, meat, and porcini. When I first got it I was happy that it came with a lot of truffle, but when I got into it I felt like it had too much. It was definitely too much of a good thing. But it was $28 so I guess they wanted you to feel like you got bang for your buck. My bf ordered the tagliatelle ragu and it looked good, but he said the primary flavour was salt. When I tried it- I would have to agree. It was tomato and salt. Not complex at all. Also as an aside- I would say the pasta portions are relatively small for the price. You get this dish with a little bowl dent in the middle and your pasta portion is basically the size of a rice bowl. I'm happy I tried it but I probably wouldn't come back.

    Hovering between 3 and 4 stars. The food was delicious to be sure, but the price point was extremely high for the portions we received. I realized the pasta is made in house so that accounts for a lot of it, but it still just felt pretty pricey given we didn't really order that much and got pretty hungry again a few hours later. My husband ordered the ravioli (8 small ravioli in dish. It was FANTASTIC but a tiny portion) and I had the mushroom tagliatelle (also great but just mushrooms tossed in a light sauce with a bit of parsley). We also split the chocolate cake for dessert and I had a glass of wine and the whole tab came out to around $70. WHAT. The night before we ate at another restaurant with dishes packed with seafood, veggies, meat, and more and we spent the same amount of money for around 8-9 small plates of food. And everything was made from scratch there as well. The experience was nice, and the food was good but I would probably not return given you can get more for your money in Toronto at other locations and have an equally delicious meal.

    I discovered this tiny little Italian restaurant through yelp. On a warm summer day, I imagine it would be lovely to people watch on the patio (the restaurant is situated on a very busy section of Queen st). I tried two dishes - tagliatelle with fresh homemade meat sauce and fried herbs, and the risotto alla milanese with osso buco. I really enjoyed both the dishes- the risotto, in particular, was richly flavourful. The portion size was also very generous, and I packed half of it home for lunch the next day. Would definitely want to come back in the future and try other dishes!

    Casoncelli alla bergamasca
    Carlotta C.

    Amazing. Felt like I was back in northern Italy. Perfect for those common cold dayS in Toronto where all you want is some comfort food. Perfect because not only it is delicious and comforting, but it won't leave you feeling gross. I had plans too go ever since they were on Queen Street, but then they moved and still made it a point of visiting. Went with a friend who lived in Milan for a while, and she also loved it. we ordered two different kinds and shared it, which I recommend doing since the pasta is heavy and you may want to change up your palate. We ordered the pizzoccheri di teglio and the casoncelli alla bergamasca, and nothing was left on our plates by the end of it. A plus was the adorable deCor that made the restaurant feel cozy yet super elegant. Highly recommend checking out this spot for authentic Northern Italian cuisine!

I knew from previous visits that the food and service were exceptional, but this week reinforced why this has become one of my go-to spots whenever I'm in the city. Max and Trevor behind the bar made the experience seamless from night one. Not only did they remember my name, they recalled my exact order and dietary needs every evening without hesitation. Traveling for work while maintaining a low sodium, heart healthy diet can be challenging, so finding consistency matters. I did not want to chance food remorse or uncertainty with ingredients, and they made sure my burrata and salmon were prepared perfectly each night. By night five, I was basically in a legally recognized relationship with burrata, salmon...and the guys. Sofia, who had provided exceptional service to us on a previous visit months ago, was there as well. I made a point to remind her how memorable and appreciated her hospitality had been, and it was great to see the same professionalism and warmth continue throughout the restaurant team. Five straight nights at the same restaurant says a lot on its own. Consistent food, genuinely attentive staff, and an atmosphere that makes you want to come back. Gusto 101 continues to deliver every time.

I came here with my best friend for a birthday dinner, and I could immediately see why this place has lasted for decades. It's tucked inside an old house on Elm Street, and the whole restaurant has that warm, family-run charm that makes you feel like people have been coming here for years and bringing more people back with them. The tables are definitely close together, so it's a little tight when the restaurant gets busy, but honestly that also adds to the lively energy because there was a steady flow of people coming in all night. Food-wise, there were a few dishes that really stood out. The carpaccio is such a good order, very thinly sliced raw beef, simple and classic, and honestly one of the most reasonably priced versions I've seen. My personal favorite was the prosciutto & melon. It's such a simple dish, but when it's done well, it really hits, and this one did. The real star for me though was the Cozze Marinara. The mussels were plump, tender, and clean, with no sandy bits, and the garlicky tomato sauce was so good that I ended up scooping it up with bread until the plate was basically spotless. We also tried the Vitello Marsala with mushrooms and Penne Arrabbiata, which felt very classic and comforting. If you like traditional Italian flavors, this is the kind of dish that will make you happy. That said, I personally wouldn't recommend mixing the meat and pasta together too much, I think they shine better on their own. Later we also ordered the garlic grilled seafood fettuccine because we were enjoying ourselves so much, and that one was much lighter in flavor. Nice enough, but probably not the best choice if you like richer or bolder pasta dishes. By the end we were completely full and had to leave a few strands of fettuccine behind, which almost never happens for me. Overall, Donatello feels like the kind of neighborhood Italian restaurant people return to for comfort, generous portions, and that warm family run atmosphere. It may not be the most spacious or modern place, but it has heart, and some dishes were genuinely memorable.

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

It's a dining experience you don't see every day in Toronto. Even the washrooms are memorable, tucked away in the basement in what used to be old jail cells, which adds to the charm and gives the whole place a bit of personality. We went for an early Sunday dinner before a concert at Massey Hall. The restaurant got pretty busy as the evening went on, but it never felt chaotic. The atmosphere is lovely and lively, a great choice for a special night out or a pre-show meal. We started with Calamari alla Griglia with mixed greens, capers, onions, and fresh tomatoes. It was a fresh, bright appetizer with good balance. For mains, my date had the Spaghetti in Canna a Mare with clams, mussels, calamari, scallop, and tiger shrimp in a tomato sauce. The menu described it as mildly spicy, but it definitely had a noticeable kick. Still, the flavours were really good. I ordered the Ravioli al Brasato with braised beef, butter, sage, and parmigiano. It was tasty and comforting, though portion-wise I could have used a few more ravioli. I was still a bit hungry after and honestly double the size would have been perfect for me. For dessert we shared the Tiramisu with espresso-soaked savoiardi, mascarpone, and cocoa. I had an amaro while my date finished with zambuca. A sweet and satisfying way to wrap up the meal. The service was friendly, though drinks came out a bit slower than expected. Terroni's food is tasty, the setting is gorgeous, and it's easy to see why locals keep coming back. It's not cheap, but the quality and ambience make it worth trying, especially for dinner before a show or a relaxed date night in one of Toronto's most unique spaces.

Some of the flavour combinations were just off (the skewer with fruit, cheese and something else) - like they paired the wrong cheese with the fruit. The meal itself was a seat down meal (family style) which did take over two hours to complete for the amount of guests that were present (over 200 ppl). My favorite dish was the tomato and mozza salad. My most disappointed dish was the ragu pasta. Though containing a good amount of meat it was not saucy at all. The pizza was the brocolini was good as well. The reason I gave this restaurant three stars is strictly for the lack of elevator and the food quality vs the price. For what you are paying, there is so much higher quality food in the city and I honestly think you can get better bang for buck elsewhere.
