Small Italian restaurant with some old school family run vibes. We were one of the few people that were not Italian in the place and the menu is in Italian. Both positive signs in my book. We started with the fried calamari. It was really crispy and hot. Came out quick too. We ordered a few pastas. The pasta with meat balls was our favourite. The mushroom ravioli was good but started tasting a bit sweet after eating half of it. We also had the sausage pasta and enjoyed that too. Seats about 40 to 50 people so make a reservation on the weekend. Warm tasty pasta with bold comforting flavours, perfect for when you have an Italian food craving. Service is great too. They helped us read the Italian menu. Kept refilling our water and brought out some bread to start the meal. Nice clean washroom too. read more

I was here for work. Found the place on yelp and decided to take a chance. This was heavenly. Had warm bread slices and a pepper mixture brought out to start. Then moved on to a half Ceasar salad. Not too much dressing and just the right amount of Parmesean to croutons ratio. Had the tortellini. Perfect portion. The lemon tart took it over the edge. Slightly warmed, creamy, nutty, perfection. The staff was attentive and friendly. Highly, highly recommend this place. My next time in this area, I will be back. read more

Five-star Italian comfort with a little swagger (and a lot of flavor) Bocconcino Ristorante in Woodbridge is the kind of place that reminds you why Italian food is pure joy when it's done right. Warm, welcoming vibe, and everything feels like it comes out of a kitchen that actually cares. We started with the Calamari Fritti (fried calamari) and it was 10/10: perfectly crisp, tender inside, and paired with an amazing spicy marinara that brought just the right kick without stealing the show. For my main, the Ravioli ai Porcini was the headline act: ravioli stuffed with ricotta, swimming in a creamy homemade truffle sauce with seared mushrooms . Rich, earthy, silky, and balanced, the kind of dish that makes you slow down and pay attention. Also 10/10. If you're in Woodbridge and want authentic Italian done with confidence, Bocconcino is absolutely worth it. I'll be back... hungry. No pictures needed...go get you some!!! No picture will do the flavor justice! read more

My wife and I were recently in Ontario to visit friends and had a night to ourselves. We found this wonderful gem and are so glad we did. We started out with the calamari, of course. I had the oso bucco, which was wonderful. My wife's dish was also excellent. It's a small intimate place and we wound up striking up a conversation with the folks at the table next to us. If you're in the area give it a try. You won't be disappointed. read more

Unsuspecting hidden gem If you want an authentic Italian experience this will make your tastebuds sing! I have been here twice while visiting from another country and the food is so fresh and delicious that you feel like you're eating in a little gem in Italy. I will be back in June & will definitely be having dinner here again while in town. read more

Amazing good from start to finish. Came here with my business partner. It's on an industrial street, hidden gem. You know the food is going to be good when the setup is like that. The tiramisu and hazelnut cakes were sooooo light. read more

Excellent, cozy Italian restaurant with amazing food. Food tastes good and the service friendly. It feels like a family owned restaurant.

We were interested in trying this place when we visited Toronto as the Yelp reviews were so high and...we agree! It's a very traditional Italian restaurant with white tablecloths, and still serving a number of veal dishes as well as lamb chops. My wife ordered the lamb chops and liked it. I enjoyed my food as well, and the chocolate hazelnut cake for dessert was fantastic. The service was excellent. At the end of our meal, I actually wanted to hug our server(!) but did not. read more

Bocconcino is a small Italian restaurant along Highway 7 in Vaughan. We had called this place on numerous occasions during the pandemic since we had a gift certificate. Unfortunately it was closed, but thankfully it had reopened as restrictions were lifted. Although the restaurant was open for dine-in, we ordered for pickup. The food here is ridiculously delicious. My favorite dish was the ravioli ai porcini. The raviolis were lightly stuffed with cheese, but what stole the show was the porcini and sauce. It tasted incredible and I could definitely taste the truffle oil. The linguine pescatore was quite tasty as well. Perfectly al dente pasta in marinara sauce with mussels, clams, and octopus. I hope you like linguine because there was a lot. The shrimp was my second favorite dish. There were 5 large shrimps in this dish. The shrimps were perfectly cooked and the garlic sauce was flavorful. The grilled calamari was my least favorite of the 4. It was a little underdone for my liking, but I can see how people would like this dish. We had tiramisu for dessert. It's a pretty huge square and quite shareable. There's a lot of powder on top. Very tasty and a perfect way to end dinner. I was stuffed. read more

Amazing.....in all ways. Local, family owned. Great new specials every time. This is the spot for you!

The meal was excellent! Service was warm and friendly. It's a small restaurant in a working neighborhood.

We were at Bocconcino last night (3 of us) for a business dinner. We had been there 2 years ago and were dying to come back. It is such a great place with the owner husband and wife doing a great job. Nothing we ordered other than the calamari was on the menu. The specials all sounded too good to pass up. We ordered a cheese/meat platter to start with great Parmesan cheese, one of us had rabbit, I had calf liver and the 3rd person veal Parmesan. ALL excellent and great timing. Most people were known to the owners and very friendly. If you want a great place for true Italian and service go here. You will not be disappointed. When I come back to the area I will always take people here. read more

The food was good and I was very impressed with the food and I had to eat it all the time because I was so hungry

Amazing food and service! My family stopped by this cute restaurant after a long flight. We have multiple dietary restrictions and in general can be a little picky but this restaurant was able to accommodate everyone. Our server was very kind and provided helpful recommendations for what to order. I ordered the gnocchi and it was perfect! read more

Excellent all around, waiter Ash was super friendly, knew the menu well. My veal shank was beyond amazing my wife had gnocchi with truffle sauce was also amazing. Compliments to the chef cheers read more

Off the beaten path Italian restaurant. The service was exceptional and the decor was ok nothing spectacular. Food was fresh to order. I had the seafood pasta that was fair. Tomato based but nothing special. The calamari was fresh and crispy. Also ordered tiramisu to go but forgot to take a pic that was pretty good. Overall I would recommend. read more

I hardly ever review anything, but I just had to. What an extraordinary experience. Everything was perfect down to the music piped in. Run, don't walk here to get one of the best meals you'll ever have! read more

Went there for my birthday dinner Saturday night. Small intimate restaurant. We ordered the calamari fritti - which came out fairly quick (right out from the fryer cuz it hella hot) and we also had the "Vitello ai Funghi" it comes with 2 pieces so we asked if they can make two separate plates ( which they did!) and we also ordered Tortellini alla Bolognese. At the end of our meals, they gave these small bite size chocolate ice cream covered bells. The menu is worded in Italian - but I had my bf translate some for me. Suggestion, it's a fairly small place- If your going on a weekend definitely make a reservation ahead of time to avoid any disappointment. read more

If you want home cooked Italian food this is the place to go!!! I rarely order Pasta of any kind unless I am in Italy. But I was in the mood of Italian and this was the perfect spot. Service was A-1....he basically told us what ever you want we will make it!! How ever and what ever you want in your pasta. So I asked for meatballs with Chicken with a meat sauce and cream sauce....and there it was....exactly how I asked. I love spice and can handle almost everything. I am not sure what he brought us but a day later I am still feeling it!!! Great experience and I will be back for more.... I forgot to mention that we started with friend calamari and it was as good as the greeks make it!!! lol...just had to throw that in. read more

I'm a bit surprised why there aren't more reviews of this place. Maybe because the restaurant is not easily found, hidden behind hwy 7 in what is mostly a small office area. You wouldn't be caught causally walking down this street and go "let's try this place". Or maybe because the families that come here don't Yelp, or they want to keep this place to themselves. Whatever the case is, I wandered around, found them, and now they're exposed. Restaurant Not a lot of parking in front of it, but enough surrounding it. Pretty small inside, with a couple small tables and a couple large tables. Maybe between 10-15 at most. Service 2-3 waitresses/waiters. Menu is in Italian and they will walk you through it. They aren't pushy and will not rush you. You get plenty of time to decide, and enjoy your meal and company in between each dish. It feels like you are dining at an upscale restaurant but with a homey touch. The staff are personable. They will have a drink with you. It does feel like family. Food Grilled calamari is recommended. Easy to cut through and eat. A light charred taste from the grill to give it flavor. Splash on some lemon to enhance it all. Veal comes covered in mushroom sauce. That veal is perfect. Mushroom sauce is not strong so it doesn't overpower your dish. It's also not salty like some of the others I've had. Vegetable sides are way too soft and overcooked for my liking. That's my only complaint. Sausage penne pasta was also really good. Tomato sauce was just right. Penne pasta was cooked to perfection. I think I've said too much.. keep this place only for those in the know. 5 stars.. read more

I have been there twice, great food, ressonably priced. See photos upload for food ordered, liked everything. Liked the Tiramisu the most. The dessert menu is different everyday so they might not have it. Be sure to ask... ( and yes I have a sweet-tooth just so you know ) read more

Great service and quiet little spot that is perfect for a dinner where you plan to sit for some time and chat away. Food here is fresh, delicious and the menu is simple which is perfect! read more

I love this place. When in Toronto, I make sure to stop by and eat at Bocconcino Ristorante. Nice ambiance, very warm and comforting. Great for dates and also for family gatherings. Easy parking as they have their own private parking lot. As far as I am concerned, coming from the New York City area and having been to Italy, this is probably one of the best and most authentic family-style Italian restaurants around in North America. Dishes of note: 1. Antipasto (Assorted cured meats, peppers, olives, cheeses) 2. Bruschetta 3. Grilled Calamari 4. Any of the Pasta dishes 5. Osso bucco 6. Grilled Leg of Baby/Spring Lamb Excellent service. Maybe because we are familiar with the staff there. Prices are reasonable if you can limit the Wine consumption. read more
