This place is a gem. Sweet little place with superb food--not stuffy at all. Hands down the best grilled calamari we have ever had. We also had the arugula salad and the pappardelle with fresh wild mushrooms. Our server suggested a Pinot Grigio to go with it all. That was the meal. Simple, classy, just right. We were on our way from Niagara Falls to the Thousand Islands, and my wife stumbled on it here in Yelp. So glad we did. read more

Food has been amazing. My family and I have been big fans before the pandemic started and we're so glad that they're still around. It's a quiet and lovely restaurant that doesn't disappoint after all this time. It just goes to show how much effort is put into this family restaurant. What I find most amazing about Tigo is that it sticks to a very straightforward menu. There's no need to over complicate good food. That alone is what makes this business stand out. The food is stunning served with a lovely rustic toasted bread coated in a light olive oil. The seafood is a definite must try. Italy is surrounded on three sides by the sea. It's unfathomable that people trying Italian food should run from the seafood. I suggest the Zuppe di pesce (main) and also the mussels(starter) for seafood lovers. It's not to say the other offerings are no good. It just makes no sense to skip out on seafood when eating Italian food. Overall experience was great. Maria and Sabino were phenomenal. Please give them a visit if you are planning to be in the area. read more

We decided to come here to try lunch as our expectation was that they would have a lunch menu. They didn't. We ended up paying the same as dinner. So much for "trying out a place for lunch first". The attentive service was good though. The toast with the drizzle of olive oil was so crunchy and on point that we asked for a second plate. Thank goodness that was a freebie. I ordered the fettuccine with tiger shrimp and wild mushrooms in a light sauce. The pasta was super fresh and chewy. The shrimp was also fresh with great texture. I just wish they had a lunch menu. Then it would be more affordable to come more often. Lol. read more

A small restaurant in a strip mall, with great authentic Italian fare. I've eaten here a few times in the past couple of years and they don't disappoint. The service is great, food is always prepared well and fresh. The only con is that the prices seem a little high, but that being said, costs are rising and restaurants still need to be profitable, so something to consider. A bottle of wine (cheapest on the menu), shared app, two mains and a shared desert cost me $170 including tip. read more

Excellent pasta - a hidden gem for sure! Went here for a groupon deal (valued at $70) in which you get: one appetizer to share, one soup or salad, pasta of your choice, and dessert of your choice. The staff are so friendly and nice with a good balance of humour to start off your experience. There was a table beside us that ordered a custom appetizer "mixed appetizer" where you can request your own platter of however you want it made. Example is having tiger grilled prawns, grilled calamari, grilled red pepper, cheese, and some olives. I wish I had that fish because it smelled so good that it was very appetizing. The food quality is generous even with just the beef carpaccio - you're getting your moneys worth. Pasta they give large portion and very filling - and the dessert was great! Everything was so good in the menu that you can't miss out on it. They also make their own table bread toasted with butter (finally not just some hard crusted bread) but all in all - you need to try here if you're an Italian fan. read more

Great experience. We went as a party of four. Enjoyed some bruschetta, appetizers (meatballs and muscles) which were full of flavour, salads and entrees. We enjoyed the pasta and gnocchi. The quality, quantity and price point were all good. The best experience was the service, very friendly, attentive and time efficient. It was a full house but not once did we feel over looked. food was so good we started eating before the photos. A must try, and definitely make a reservation. Food 4/5, price point 4/5, environment 5/5, service 5/5. Thank you Happy customers. read more

Came out for a girls dinner on a Saturday nite after a recommendation of one of the girls. Tiny place and was pretty packed. Good thing we had a reservation or else we wouldn't have been able to get a table. Out server was great and very patient with out indecisiveness. Simple menu, although different from the website. As were the pics in the site. My friends ordered a bottle of wine and since I'm allergic-yup, allergic...I ordered a beer and there were only 2 options, but that was fine, I like Peroni. We had the beef carpaccio to start and all order different dishes. Beef was very good and quite tender. I had the angel hair pasta with shrimp and although the dish was quite tasty, I was disappointed with the 5 measly shrimp that was placed strategically on top. I thought there might be more shrimp hiding underneath but there was not. Very disappointing considering the $22 price tag. Highlite if the dinner was desert. Ordered the in house made tiramisu and it was amazing and picture worthy. Give this place a shot if you want a nice quiet evening, but I won't likely be returning read more

First time visitors (on Valentine's Day!) and have to say we were incredibly impressed! Keep reading! I decided to find a nice little Italian place that was cozy and somewhat romantic for Valentine's Day. It was time we started to get out of our comfort zone and stopped going to the same places that we love every year. This was a bit of a risk but based on the reviews online and photos, we decided to make a reservation (easily on open table) The place is definitely on the smaller size. First impressions were that it was nicely lit for dinner and clean. We requested a booth when reserving but there were only tables. Totally fine. The staff from start to finish were all nice, helpful and pleasant. You get a nice plate of seasoned bread to start off your meal which is always a welcomed addition to any meal. Our appetizer calamari was perfect. Not over battered or greasy at all. My agnolotti (stuffed with crab meat) in a cream sauce was rich and delicious. We also had the potato gnocchi. Both were fresh and plentiful. Gnocchis were good but I wouldn't say best we've ever had. We finished the dinner with the homemade tiramisu. Delicious. Again not the best but tasty nonetheless. Thanks for a wonderful evening! See you guys again soon! read more

Fantastic place. Excellent food and service. Can't wait to go back. Went for my birthday dinner and ordered it all. Beef carpaccio, grilled calamari, meatballs for the appetizers. For dinner grilled fish, Suppa de pesce, penne alla vodka and a fettuccine with shrimp and mushrooms. Pasta amazing and homemade, seafood fresh and fantastic ! We had the torta Della Nonna for dessert and it was superb. Service was excellent ! The owner personally came to our table to greet us and see how everything was. Top notch and a true hidden gem. read more

The place was cozy and the server was friendly. We had the bruchetta (delicious!), meatballs (flavourful) and calamari as appetizers. We had the "lamb chop, chicken & sausage" (chicken was a bit dry) and gnocchi as main. We finished with their tiramisu (nice and light). The place filled up quickly on a Wed night, so be sure to make reservations! read more

Somehow they couldn't find our reservation via Opentable but still accommodate us, I appreciate the service a lot. Every dish we ordered is pretty good. We shared the beef carpaccio, I like that they give you some arugula and Parmesan cheese on top. However, I prefer the style that serve with a raw egg. Daily soup is a purée of asparagus, peas and potato, I liked it very much. The pasta is obviously homemade. I had angel hair noodle with shrimp and brandy rose sauce. The sauce is excellent. I strongly recommend this place if you are seeking for an authentic Italian dinner. read more

Great experience at Tigo Trattoria! We had a company event for 32 people and made the space work. To go over 3 mains things: 1) Venue: The place was very well visually balanced to have an nicely dim/lit area for everyone to have a great evening. The decor was subtle but fit the mood. 2) Food: Honestly was even better then what the review i read previously coming in. We have everything from Seafood, pasta, veal, salad, chicken, salmon, soup, and so much more and not one bad plate. Every plate was licked to the bone (not licked but nothing was left on the plate). We had individuals with Vegetarian or Gluten free or other allergies and the owner made sure to make everything perfect. 3) The owners: I was in discussion with Maurizio to set everything up and he made sure to please us in any way he could. The hidden thing I wasn't informed about was, Maurizio was the owner and the chef! Honestly blew my mind away since he came into the dinning room and made sure everything was good while still cooking up 96 plates of food (3 course meal for 32 people) Overall, worth the price. Its not cheap but great place to go out for dinner. The portions were very well maintained. Hope this review does you well and i'll be going back again on my next hot date... myself and my stomach! :D read more

Very good food and service. We actually really enjoyed the bread brought to the table. Great wine selection, we only ate mains here just because of time. They were good have tried other places that I prefer but the food here was still in the top 10 Italian restaurants I've been to. The food came out in a timely manner, a big portion. Both dishes were tasty and we had many good servers. read more

Family dinner at Tigo last evening. Small, intimate, elegant décor. First visit but definitely not the last. We had 4 different dishes and desserts and everyone tasted each other's. Absolutely 5 star taste and quality. Service friendly and helpful with suggestions and recommendations. Well worth the drive from Scarborough. Dorothy S + famly. read more

Absolutely a scam at this restaurant. Bought a Groupon deal and made my decision from looking at their offer and menu... when we arrived half the manu was off limits although it was clearly stated on their Groupon menu. Ordered the soup and was told it was chicken soup and beans came to our table. I would not recommend this place at all. Everything they claimed to be was the exact opposite! read more

We recently had the pleasure of dining at Tigo Trattoria. It was a Monday night and we got there around 6:30 pm so the place wasn't very busy and we had our choice of tables. As soon as we entered we felt the warmth and hospitality of both the wait staff and owner/chef (Maurizio). The place is quaint and just perfect for an intimate dining experience or family outing. Both the meal and experience was amazing. Tigo is authentic rustic Italian cuisine at its best, the food was full of flavour and reminds me of home-style cooking, made from the freshest ingredients. I strongly recommend the Mussels and clams in tomato sauce, Gamberoni Alla Griglia and Zuppa Di Pesce, all were delicious and plentiful. Tigo will definitely be my go to place in Vaughan for authentic Italian dining. read more

I had the pleasure of dining here during a business trip last week. Being from North Jersey, one might call me a snob when it comes to Italian cuisine. I would have never thought I would find decent Italian in of all places, Canada! I was seriously apprehensive that I was going to get a decent meal when I pulled up in the strip mall the restaurant is located in. NEVER JUDGE A BOOK BY ITS COVER! This place had me blown away when I walked in - ambiance was modern, a fully stocked wine racked wall, the entire back wall was fully stocked bar. The place is small but elegantly decorated, and the staff was super attentive. Food was some of the best I ever had - I got a half order of Tagliatelle alla Milena (wow!) and Pollo al limone, the chicken was so tender and flavorful! My Nona would be so upset if I said that this place would give her a run for her money! I highly recommend this place if you are ever in the area! read more
