I ordered the anatra pizza, my friend got the rigatoni aI funghi, and the arancini di asparagi to share. The anatra pizza was surprisingly really good. The ingredients weren't something I'd expect in a regular pizza but it was very tasty. The pizza dough itself was also top notch. I tried the pasta and arancini and they were also flavourful. I definitely would recommend this for a relaxing brunch spot!

I thought it was overhyped, but my friend and I decided to check it out and we were quite satisfied with what we got. One thing to note for Cacio e Pepe is that it was a heavier slice. I loved the cheese but I think it's one of those pizza where I can't have a lot, or I have to really be in the mood for. Tip: During busy hours/seasons, order a whole pizza ahead of time to skip the line unless you want to try different slices at once.

This is currently considered the best pizza in Toronto. We drove by on our way to dinner and saw…read morethere was no line-up spilling out the door so we stopped for a pre-dinner treat. Located in a densely populated neighbourhood in downtown Toronto the menu is pizza, a couple of salad options and drinks. This is take out only. There is a small area outside for patio seating but that's it. Pizza options are posted on a board inside. Preorders are limited to whole pies only. Slices are served old school (flimsy white paper plates in paper bag). Napkins are brown and coarse. You can add extra chili flakes to your pizza if you want. What was ordered: 1 slice of vodka 1 slice of mushroom bianco Verdict? This is GOOD pizza. The first thing you notice is the crust (thin) with the first bite...the crunch and combined with the topping makes the experience really good. We would definitely consider stopping by again if in the area and the lineup is not bad. There is now a second location near Bathurst and Bloor.

Overall, we were both impressed with the good simple pizza. I think we've both kind of reached a saturation point with pretentious pizza spots, so this was a nice find in the middle of the financial district.

This place gets a solid 4.5/5 for its authentic southern Italian food and very friendly & attentive…read moreservice. It has a very homey, old-school Italian American restaurant ambience - the opposite of the stylish, hipster or touristy restaurant vibe. Apparently this restaurants gets a lot of regulars, and I could see why. As soon as you walk in, you feel like you're transported back to the 1960s with the red-and-white checkered tablecloths, red chairs, old-style wax candles, brick walls, and a large black-and-white photo of an Italian family on the wall (perhaps the founder or owner's?). I could see this place being a movie set for films that need an old, classic Italian American restaurant as a setting. In addition to the décor, I love the 1960s music being played in the background. Size-wise, the inside of the restaurant isn't that big so it feels very cozy. It can get very busy and crowded after 5 pm, as most people seem to come here for dinner. We came during lunch hour and we were the only patrons there. The southern Italian touches are very apparent in most of their dishes - with heavy reliance on olive oil, tomato-based sauces (especially in the fish and seafood dishes), fresh seafood, herbs, peppers, and vegetables such as eggplant. This is in contrast to northern Italian cuisine that is characterized by rich, creamy dishes using butter, lard, and cheeses, and puts more emphasis on rice, polenta, and meat-heavy dishes (where as seafood is more prevalent in the south). Dishes that we tried: 1) Baccala (Pan-Seared Black Cod) - This was the BEST and my favourite dish here. The black cod had a crispy exterior and flaky interior, and came with roasted mini potatoes and mixed vegetables (zucchini, red bell pepper, Brussels sprouts, eggplant) roasted with garlic -- such a well-rounded and wholesome dish. The roasted mini potatoes were so flavourful, and the vegetables had a nice char. I asked for the puttanesca sauce on the side, as the fish was already flavourful on its own without the sauce. But the sauce was better than I expected - it contained actual whole chunks of cherry tomatoes and olives. 2) Steamed Mixed Fish & Seafood in Tomato Sauce - This dish wasn't on the website menu, but it was on the printed menu in the restaurant. It reminded me of cioppino (Italian-American mixed seafood stew with tomato sauce, herbs, and spices). It came presented as wrapped inside aluminum tin foil, which the server then opened in front of us on the table with steam coming out. The fish was salmon, and seafood consisted of mussels and shrimps. This dish was just alright. For almost $50, there wasn't much seafood. 3) Pizza Funghi - I liked the very thin and crispy crust, and the sliced roasted mushrooms as toppings, but I wasn't a fan of the "truffled honey" they added on top of the pizza. I didn't taste any truffle, and the honey made it very sweet. Not a fan of sweet pizza. 4) SIDES: Rapini, Brussels Sprouts, Mushrooms - They got bonus points for being able to customize the sides. They didn't have asparagus that day, so they substituted it for steamed Brussels sprouts with garlic instead - which was heavenly. The Brussels sprouts weren't overcooked at all, and they were generous with the garlic (anything with extra garlic gets extra thumbs up from me). The rapini came out chopped with a side of lemon wedge. Mushrooms weren't on the menu as a side, but we asked and they were able to make a simple side of just mushrooms. Overall the vegetables got 9/10. The chef was very friendly as he came out and talked to us. The server was extremely attentive. Great service overall.

They have a great stock of wines and an impressive drink list that we don't get to enjoy as we can't handle drinks these days. We do enjoy the food and the friendly service immensely tho. Lots of options for shareable apps; excellent options on pizzas and pastas; and I am always impressed with their mains (as someone that has to limit carbs, options can be limited at some Italian restos). They are also understanding of reasonable diet requests. They have gluten-free options as well. It is more of a "quiet" restaurant in terms of the clientele chatter, at least for the times I was there, so I can hear the music they play ("oldies"!!!!)

A bit about me: I seem to have an acute addiction to pizza at the moment. Swipe right? I did on this panzerotti, contains an eruption of molten cheese and tomato sauce and is the only lava that I'd jump into. It's encased in an ultra fluffy and springy pizza dough that's so airy it insulates the boiling liquid inside, contributing a fragrant aroma and a pleasant chewiness in each bite. read more
