My girlfriend and I were looking for a local neighbourhood restaurant on a recent weeknight, and we came across Padella. I can say without a doubt that our meal here rivalled or surpassed most experiences we have had at other Toronto Italian restaurants. Everything, from the service to the food, was fantastic.
The flavoured beans served as a complementary appetizer were delicious. We both had their soup of the day - an asparagus and green apple puree - and it was the perfect blend of flavours. For dinner, I had the orecchiette with meatballs and my girlfriend had the bolognese. Both were amazing. One of the best Manhattan cocktails I have had too!
Service was very attentive, and I believe were served by one of the owners. He was extremely friendly and accommodating to my girlfriend's gluten allergy. They have gluten-free pasta and he said they can do most dishes gluten free.
We will 100% return and I recommend others in the community visit and support this new restaurant! Hopefully it will remain for years to come.
