  • How could you not want to sit and have a drink to people watch and look like the cool Queen Street West goer at Destingo? Well if you thought just that then this place is for you. If you're serious about your food and know your Italian cuisine quite well then look else where....perhaps something a little more authentic like, Terroni just across the street. The real estate is incredible, but unfortunately for Destingo, that's it. The name is actually ironic, for me, as it means...destine to go...yet I don't think it's destine to succeed, not with that quality of food. I was extremely disappointed as I had watched this place transform into what I hoped to be a go to spot for me in my neighbourhood, yet it just did not meet my expectations at all. I am Italian and have a great appreciation for Italian food, especially that its been the menu of my life and consider Terroni Toronto's staple for Italian food. Too bad for Destingo, Terroni is right across the street from them and Terroni's menu, quality of food and service, is without a doubt authentic Italian. I had started with the caprese salad, and believe me it's hard to screw up caprese salad, but the oil, presentation and quality of cheese and tomatoes were horrible. No love in that dish at all. Secondi, I had the risotto de mare....oh boy. That was a miss altogether. I'm not sure where they inherited that recipe for the sugo, but it tasted like Classico from the glass jar (I'm sorry, but it did) I did not dare to venture for the dessert. I was so turned off my friends and I had to leave. We all left with half full plates for the waitress to collect, with no doggy bags. (I did pick out the fish in my dish to eat as I do not like wasting once live food) Although I did feel like that dish was a great insult to the fish that had been cooked in it, very disappointing. I did have high expectations for this spot as the online menu looked very appealing and appetizing and the patio is (again) just beautiful. Come the fall and winter when the biggest attraction is their patio and food doesn't meet the standards, I don't think they have a chance. I hope Monika reads the reviews and really kicks it up a notch to compete with the other great Italian resto spots in the near neighbourhoods, otherwise she doesn't have a chance with her current dishes. Best of luck Destingo!
