    Patata fritta
    Hazel P.

    Food: 3/5 Service: 4/6 Ambiance: 5/5 This is a really nice looking restaurant. The decor is light woods, red accents, green upholstered banquette seating, and chairs. It's very spacious. There is a store at the front where you can buy soaps from italy, pasta, etc. At the back is the restaurant. My friend took me here for lunch. I ordered the patata fritta (fried potatotes) and spaghetti pomodoro. My friend ordered the frito misto. We both just had water to drink as it was a very hot & humid day. The potatoes were good, if a little salty. The spaghetti was very salty for my taste. My friend liked the frito misto but didn't realize it would be breaded as she's on a keto diet. So she only ate a little of it. We were both full after our food so we didn't order dessert. Service was okay. Our waitress was nice but I found it hard to understand her accent. The manager came by & checked how we liked our meal which was also nice. All in all the service was good. But I didn't really enjoy the food. I would be willing to try a different dish though, to see if it was just the dish I ordered that I didn't like.

    Tagliere Salumi e Formaggi

    I visited Eataly Don Mills on a Wednesday night around 6pm without a reservation. There were many open tables but the hostess insisted we could only sit at the bar. We ordered the Tagliere Salumi e Formaggi to start. The board surprisingly came with a lot of meat and only three small pieces of cheese. It also only came with two pieces of bread. For $36, I would not order this again unless it is updated. I recommend the restaurant to add more cheese, including a soft cheese. For our mains, we got the cavatelli on the main menu (the Easter menu cavatelli was unavailable, sadly) and a pizza whose name has escaped me. Both were delicious! The pizza dough was perfectly soft and chewy. The pasta was incredibly flavourful and so unique with the broccoli and sausage combo. All in all, I would recommend visiting to try their pizzas and pastas - just know you're paying a bit more for the Eataly atmosphere.

    Came here after a quick shopping. Food is OK, you can shop too but I find the items expensive. Service is good. Friendly staff.

    First time at the Eataly location at Shops at Don Mills. The grocery store part is actually quite small compared to the Yorkville location, but the restaurant was spacious and nicely decorated. Staff were kind and attentive with their service. The appetizers came out quickly, followed by the pasta. Everything tasted good and met our expectations, but the beef in the pasta was a bit dry.

    I was really excited to check out Eataly, but this Don Mills location really fell short of my expectations. It's definitely smaller than the other locations and does not have as many counters as the other ones. It simply has a full restaurant and a quick service pastry and coffee bar on the other side. In between there are minimal pantry items, a small open air fridge section and a singular fridge of fresh pasta pre-portioned. There is also only one singular self service register. Overall, I wasn't too impressed and it's highly unlikely I will be back to this location.

    Went a couple weeks ago on a Friday evening with friends and with reservations. The place was nice and I've bought items from their store before but never tried from their restaurant. They had a 2 course menu for about $38, which only included one app (bruschetta) and a pasta (creamy with cheese). Because they didn't have other options we just ordered one set, a pizza, the fresh cheese app with tomatoes and seafood pasta with tomato sauce. Our favourite dish was the seafood pasta, the pasta with just cheese should be eaten hot because once it gets cold it is a bit hard. The pizza was good and crust was soft and bready. I think I had higher expectations of this place but everything seemed okay, nothing that wowed us. Esp with the higher prices and what we got, I don't think I would eat here again. The fresh burrata was good, but doesn't come with any bread or crackers so they ask you if you want to add it on top. Overall, I would say it is good but not exceptional as the prices does not reflect what you can usually get at a good Italian restaurant.

    Ravioli
    Natalie T.

    I've been here twice. The ravioli was decent, but it wasn't very filling considering it was a main and the portion wasn't much. I tried the tiramisu which I had high expectations for - taste wise it was one of the better tiramisu's I've had, but wayyyy too much cream. The ratio was off. During another visit, my friend and I tried the sphagetti and we both mentioned it tasted like something we could make at home with minimal effort. Our other friend ordered a pricier pasta which tasted pretty good (I can't remember the name though), but again very small portions.

    . booked online using opentables for a party of 8 . the food overall everyone rated super yummy and the waiteress gave a very nice experience . cocktails arent to my personal liking . we booked for a friends birthday and they gave her a tiramisu! very kind . checking in our reservation at 8:15, we had to wait another 5/10mins for our table . the waiter took my order of pizza wrong but handled it very well (some miss communication, she apologized and brought the right one out) . our table came up to $400 . the bread appetizer was also questionable . fun for a first time at this location, maybe not for frequent visits

    We went at the end of July to Eataly We had reservations for the Taste of Eataly that evening Eataly is part restaurant/part market The restaurant area is extremely spacious with lots of seating The market area is smaller than the location down in Yorkville It offers take out food like pizza, paninis, and dessert items The market itself was offers various food products from Italy Most of the items are highly priced so do expect to pay a price if you are getting a bottle of sauce and pasta or even oil and balsamic vinegar The restaurant is nice The meal was okay My hubby enjoyed his pasta The bruschetta was good My salad was okay....not the best but decent enough Service was a bit slow there which was a bit of a let down I would definitely come again for the market area to try some of their foods Not sure about the restaurant but we will see

    Kids Menu Pizza
    Gary T.

    Visited the new Eataly at Shops at Don Mills for lunch today on Sunday. Not bad, many seats available, but to be sure you can make reservations via OpenTable App/website. The main Eataly market area is small compared to other locations, they have self serve checkout for the market area which was nice. The restaurant I first thought was a small area, but there's two sides of the restaurant. We had a few kids in our party and they ordered from the kids menu which gave a choice of pasta or pizza. The pizza they allowed different shapes such as classic round, shape of a heart or shape of a bunny. Adding extra toppings cost a nominal amount per topping. I ordered the PEI Striploin with arugula and Crispy Potato. The Striploin I asked for medium rare, and it was served exactly like that. The Striploin tasted really good and I enjoyed it very much. The crispy potato was interesting as I've never had a potato in such a style before and was absolutely delicious.

    We went this evening to Eataly at the Shops on Don Mills It recently opened months ago This spot is known for being a market/restaurant The market sells a wide variety of Italian goods from wines and beers to various pasta and sauces to counters that serve up everything from big sandwiches to a wide array of Italian desserts They had an event this evening called Taste of Eataly They have a $29 two course Prix fix menu that offers an appetizer and either pasta or pizza main I started with the bruschetta It was super yummy....loved the sauce and the burrata underneath which made it quite tasty I had the tonnarelli cacio e Pepe It was really good....a really solid cacio e Pepe pasta dish done good I also bought a focaccia in the store and ate it to go It was a basic focaccia with Mutti tomato sauce on it Super yummy My wife had the insalate Verdi with chicken and enjoyed her meal Her Diet Coke was from Italy and had a bit of chinotto taste to it like a Brio The ambiance is casual mixed with upscale My only knock is that service was slow It took somebody from the bar to come and serve us as the person who was supposed to serve us disappeared Otherwise it was a nice meal and I will definitely go back to try one of those salivating guiges and desserts

    Ravioli
    Deanne M.

    This review is for the restaurant. As Eataly recently opened at Shops at Don Mills, some friends and I decided to come by for dinner. We had a reservation and were promptly seated. After placing our orders the waitress asked if we wanted all our food to come at the same time. We requested to have our appetizers come first. Unfortunately the first thing that came was my friend's pizza. We told the server we requested the appetizers first and he seemed confused so we just accepted the pizza. The appetizers showed up afterwards, but the mains took quite a while to come out, especially as my friend already finished their pizza. For appetizers we had the charcuterie board and the fritto misto di mare. The charcuterie was decent, however the seafood in the fritto misto di mare was lacking flavour. Our mains were lacking as well. I got the ravioli and the pasta was still hard. The pizza was soggy. The squid ink pasta was lacking flavour. The lasagna was however decent. We also got tiramisu for dessert which was probably the highlight of the meal. Unfortunately rest of the experience was pretty disappointing.

    The café and restaurant have nice decor, but I don't think their food is worth the hype, specially the pizza. The service is not good at this location.

The staff are very friendly and welcoming and their family-friendly atmosphere makes you feel right at home. They offer great variety of salads, chicken and veal, pizza, pasta and seafood options. So far, we have tried "Sicilian Grilled Vegetables Salad" an "Grilled Calamari" for appetizers; "Shrimp Linguine", "Grilled Salmon", "Tuscan Chicken", "Rack of Lamb", "Spaghetti and Meatballs" and "Pepperoni Pizza" for entrée. Every dish is perfectly seasoned and cooked. You can easily taste the freshness of the ingredients and distinguish the difference from any other restaurant. The highlight of the meal is their "Homemade Tiramisu" and "Homemade Crème Brûlée" for dessert. Fresh and tasty.

The rest of the dishes were much better. I would recommend the pizza or the Vitello Saltimbocca instead. Pizza had great texture and the toppings are creative.

There were only a few groups of customers when we arrive, so it was a quiet and relaxed place perfect for chatting. The waitress was friendly as well. The food was with okay but not wowing quality at very reasonable price ($30-$40 per person). For dinner, we ordered Caesar salad and crispy mushroom as appetizers. The salad has very light dressing. The crispy mushroom is flavourful and served with a creamy and spicy sauce. For mains, we tried both the Rigatoni salsiccia and chicken breast pasta. The sausage in Rigatoni salsiccia tastes a bit old and the sauce is spicy. The chicken breast pasta is not bad and is again with lighter flavour. Overall, this is a restaurant I'd consider when I'm looking for simple food and a place good for chatting or spacing out.

    Going to work used to involve going south on Bathurst or Dufferin. If I chose to take Bathurst,…read morePaese would be a restaurant that I would pass by. Paese would stick out because going down Bathurst from Vaughan to Allen Rd, there's just no fancy restaurants along the way. For that reason, I've always been curious about Paese. Through coincidence, I had to drop off something to a relative in the area with my older one, which presented me the opportunity to give Paese a try during Summerlicious week. While the value is there purely because of Summerlicious, the quality of food and service is not in sync with the normal prices charged. I'm not saying the service was not polite, but it was definitely not professional enough for a higher end restaurant. I'll share some examples as I go along. The prix fixe courses started with a salmon tartar and my son's deep fried oyster mushroom. Deep fried mushroom is probably not something I would order out, unless it came as a piece from a tempura dish at a Japanese restaurant. I do have to say the mushroom was the best dish out of everything we tried during the evening. The batter was light and although the seasoning was simple, it did its job. Sadly, i couldn't say the same about the vegan lime aioli which tasted like tartar sauce. It just did not pair well with the mushroom. Salmon tartare was disappointing as the taste of capers dominated the whole thing. The whole thing was too sour for my personal taste. Before our starters were done, the server ushered in the main dishes. Why would they do such a thing without asking the patrons? And when the server saw my son's unfinished plate of mushroom, he asked if he can take it away (half of the mushrooms were still there). Wouldn't it make more sense to ask if we are still working on it or whether we preferred it packed away? A critical error that was made was when my son ordered his steak. The server didn't even bother to ask how he would like the steak done. Is it because he's a kid, he doesn't get a choice? Disappointingly the steak came out well done. The salsa verde which we enjoyed salvaged the steak, but I could also tell that they used a significantly inferior piece of meat. The salmon con miele was ok, but it is leaning closer to the overcooked side of the spectrum. There was nothing special about the dish at all. I wouldn't say it would be significantly better than what I can do at home (not that I'm an exceptional cook). Dessert was decent. Nothing jumped off the page. Sticky toffee pudding has never been my cup of tea. So all I can say is, it's too sweet for my liking. The coconut pie is ok. The coconut flavours were mainly engineered from the shredded coconut. All in all, an unmemorable dinner that I definitely wouldn't pay full prices for.

I was initially worried about the turkey order if it will come out with thick portions of dry, white meat. Fortunately, that was not the case. The turkey was juicy and was complemented well by the gravy and mashed potatoes. The steelhead trout was also good, but just not my favorite out of the 4 dishes we ordered. I would recommend going with the Prix-Fixe menu as it is slightly better value. Just by adding a few more dollars you get an appetizer and a dessert. The Vanilla Panna Cotta and Chocolate Raspberry Tartufo picks we had for dessert was OK. Service we had when we dined was a mix bag. Our waiter was nice and helpful. The food also was served with the complimentary pepper grinding and grating of cheese. The minor gripe I have is the inconsistent and long serving time. Our appetizer was served right away, but our mains arrived much, much later than typical or standard to what I have come to expect from a dine in restaurant. The waiter did come out to acknowledge about the long gap between serving the appetizer and the main. I also remember having to ask for the dessert to already be brought out.
