| - I was somewhat surprised to not find Peperoncino already listed when I came to look, because on top of just being a great restaurant it has appeared on the odd top 10 list, and has been very favorably reviewed elsewhere. So I thought I'd do my part and add it since we enjoyed it so much.
We discovered it by accident when we were out in the Woodbridge/Vaughan area for dinner and our previous go-to Italian restaurant wasn't open. We thought we would check out the area and see if there was anything else interesting before caving in and getting fast food, and we happened to spot Peperoncino somehow in its little plaza off Highway 7. It is an unassuming location, and we took a look inside, saw that it wasn't very busy, and figured we would take a gamble and try it out. I'm glad we did, and now we have a new go-to in the area.
We have eaten there twice, and have had great, friendly service both times from different people. We have tried the penne alla vodka, the gnocchi, and I think the veal parmesan, and all were delicious. Good large portions meant that I left stuffed, and my wife had lunch for the next day. The bruschetta was great too, nice and fresh.
I think both times we went we ended up ordering the dinner meal package which was reasonably priced. The wait for food was never outrageous, although we haven't been on a busy night. All in all, this is a 4.5 / 5 star if not a full 5 for me. If this place was closer to our house we'd eat there a lot more.
