It's been awhile since I've written a review and I don't know what happened to my other reviews that I made on here...oh well I felt that I needed to write a review of Stelvio. First of all finding a northern Italian cuisine restaurant in Toronto is very hard to come by. Thank God my niece tagged me in a photo some time ago on Instagram of a polenta burger and that was all it took for me to start following them on Instagram and the more pics I saw I realized that I wld make it my mission to get here for dinner. Well last night was the night and Stelvio did not disappoint! if anything it went beyond what my tastebuds cld imagine!
They brought out bread olives and olive oil, that right there is the beginning of a beautiful relationship! Lol
My sister and I shared the bresaola with Parmesan cheese and polenta fries salad! Bresaola reminds me very much of prosciutto but if possible better! The polenta fries were not greasy or overly done they were perfect! My friend wanted just a simple salad which was not offered on the menu but they were good enuf to prepare it for her.
My main course was risotto milanese with a huge piece of ossobuco that was falling apart from the bone, a knife was not needed and it melted in my mouth, the risotto was just an added incredible extra!
My friend had their notorious polenta burger, she was hesitant to order it because she is not a fan of pork but she said it was incredible and didn't even taste like pork.
Everything about this restaurant was amazing from the atmosphere to the food, of course and most importantly the service! Our server Rodrigo, straight from northern Italy was just awesome! He informed us that the cheeses and flour, like most of their products that they use in their restaurant is imported from Italy. Overall it was beyond the experience that I thought I wld have! Definitely going back and taking my other friends and family!
Just a side note if u want to make reservations your best bet is to email them from their website.
