  • We came here Friday night for a dinner party for 10. Called Wed and was surprised to find availability on short notice and made a reservation. Never had any luck in the past for a reservation at this restaurant. They only had the time slot of 530 pm for Friday night but with no time limit on the table and no requirement for all guests to arrive for the reservation I was sold. The table was great, the only semi private table with natural lighting near the window. Our server made suggestions for various plates to share for 10 and we went with her suggestions. These are likely the best sellers on their menu which also changes every few weeks with some new additions. We ordered Bagna Cauda di Ricci ( sea urchin fondue), Branzino (sashimi style), Buratta pizza, D'duja pizza, Bigoli pasta, Vitello alla Fiorentina ( veal porterhouse), the server recommended a Sebaste fish (baked salted whole Sebaste similar to Rockcod), and sides, nodini knot bread, porcini mushrooms and asparagus. Once we ordered the manager came and gave suggestions on wine pairings on our dish selections. Went with the Kerner white and Tabeto red. Both wines were excellent and well suited to the menu. The whole Branzino was carved table side sashimi style. The Sebaste fish was massive, cooked whole and completely deboned and served table side with herbed oil. All of the dishes were delicately flavoured, well seasoned and not overpowering. The veal was cooked to medium rare and very tender, the best I've had. The pizza was thin and crisp and came with scissors for cutting. There was a generous portion of burrata on the pizza. Pasta was fresh and the flavors different from the usual Italian options at other restaurants. The service was attentive and excellent. The restaurant had a nice warm vibe, semi loud atmosphere with no empty tables. For dessert we tried the affogado and gelato selection ( maple, zabaglione, ricotta chocolate), torta caprese. The desserts were simple and had wholesome ingredients. At the end of the meal we were presented with "Un Picolo Pensiero", a take home pasta for 2 gift. Overall a high end Italian restaurant with southern Italian offerings, excellent seafood options with modern fusion aspects. It is top dollar for quality cuisine but by far the best experience for Italian in Toronto. Terroni has moved to number 2.
