Came here as a group of 8 on a Thursday night. We had a large table at the back by the window where…read moreyou can see the staff making fresh pasta! Service was great - they were helpful in choosing pastas and apps. We tried a great variety - but my favourite was their parpadelle al barolo. Everything else was also good. The apps were good too - we tried their calamari and carpaccio. And the reviews are true about the portion size - they are on the smaller side. And for dessert, we tried their 2 soft serves (the infamous one with olive oil and salt) and cake.

I recently visited Occhiolino's after hearing that the food looked quite good, and overall, it was…read morea decent experience. The waiters were amazing, friendly, attentive, and welcoming, but the service was a little slower than expected. We started with the Focaccia, Burrata, Calamari, and Spiedini di Mozzarella, all of which were pretty solid and made for a good start to the meal. For the mains, we ordered the Spaghetti all'Amatriciana, Rigatoni alla Carbonara, and Fettuccine ai Gamberi. While the sauces were enjoyable, the pastas were somewhat underwhelming and didn't stand out as particularly special. A few of the dishes were also noticeably undercooked, some to the point where the pasta had an unpleasant crunch. That said, this seems like an easy issue for the kitchen to fix. I'd be happy to give Occhiolino's another try down the road to see if the experience improves.

Love Cibo! We've been coming here for about 10 years now with my family and it's always been (and…read moreis) consistent in both food and service. The pizzas are definitely my favorite and we tend to order it as an appetizer, the crust is usually light and fluffy and overall feels authentic :) We also tried their seafood linguine this time and it was delicious! Will be back again as always!

Went there with my family a few weeks ago. The hostess and the servers were great. We started off…read morewith their truffle pizza as an appetizer, it was tasty flaky and the perfect start to the meal. All 4 of us got different kinds of pasta, we all fell in love with our plates separately. From truffle, mushrooms, bolognese and lasagna. Very authentic and flavourful. I would totally go back again.

This was my second visit to Oretta Midtown, and it definitely won't be my last. One of the biggest…read morereasons I keep coming back is their ability to accommodate for a gluten allergy. As someone with celiac disease, it's rare to find a restaurant where I feel so well accommodated without sacrificing quality or flavour. The space itself is gorgeous; chic, stylish, and perfect for either a date night or a girls' night out. The service was equally impressive. Our server was attentive from start to finish, knowledgeable about gluten-free options. We started with the green salad, which was incredibly fresh and tossed in a delicious, bright vinaigrette. The grilled zucchini was another standout; the zucchini ribbons were such a unique presentation, with fresh, balanced flavours that really let the ingredients shine. The octopus was absolutely phenomenal: perfectly cooked, butter-tender, and honestly one of the best I've had anywhere in the city. The highlight, though, is the gluten-free pizza. We ordered the Capricciosa, and if no one told you it was gluten-free, you'd never know. The crust is crisp yet chewy, and tastes like a traditional pizza, definitely not a compromise. It's easily one of the best gluten-free pizzas in Toronto. Oretta Midtown continues to be a neighborhood gem. Highly recommend, whether you're gluten-free or not!

I have walked past their patio many times and was pleasantly surprised it is a lot bigger inside…read morethan it seems at first glance. It has 2 floors that take up a lot of space along with a pretty patio. Have been there for brunch although it's a little bit on the sweeter side than a regular brunch menu. Their dinner menu is extensive with appetizers, pizzas, and pastas - and they have cute pink take-out boxes for their pizzas. They also have lovely floral printed silk pajamas that many of their servers wear ... I asked about it and I think they said it was something like $500 or maybe more but so so pretty :) Love the colors, prints, and branding. Staff were friendly and efficient. Recommended for a fun night out.

A sweet family-owned restaurant with parking and two floors!…read more This was such a good Winterlicious find; the portions were generous and everyone left happy. The dinner cost $45. Standout dishes: 1) Pollo Marsala (Boneless chicken scallopine, mixed mushroom & marsala wine sauce, roasted potato, broccolini) and 2) Nonna's Meatballs Slow tomato sugo, braised beef & pork meatballs, roasted garlic bread. There were only two things that marred our experience: the bread that came with the winter caprese salad was so hard; we wondered if, perhaps, it was leftover from lunch. In addition, we came for an early dinner, and the staff had just finished cleaning, but the smell of chemicals was quite strong. We realize that they can't crack open a window, but it was definitely off-putting at first. However, we would definitely recommend this place. On a chilly Saturday night, it was so full and they even had a musician playing the guitar and the accordion. Not a common sight in an Italian restaurant in TO.

I was here last night with a group of 9 and the experience wasn't the best even though our waiter…read morewas wonderful and did his best. That's why service gets 5. What really bothered me was the mediocre food and really bad communication. I was in touch with Mario about prix fixe menu for my group. It's $55 per person for a three course menu and the portions were tiny for the money. Everything lacked seasoning and the salad was not restaurant quality. Gnocchi for main course was also a small portion, the tomato sauce lacked flavor. The saving grace was tiramisu but again it was a tiny portion. Seriously, why did this have to cost $55. The worst was that even though the menu said bread and butter included, they didn't serve until we asked them and showed the online menu. Then they brought out bread which honestly shouldn't even cost them much. The part that bothered me is that they charged $20 for water. For a second, it felt like I was in Europe, not Canada. Before I made it here, I asked Mario if he could include soft drinks and water on the house because we were mostly doing veggie options. He said he will let me know what he can do by running numbers but he never got back. And then finally charged me for water as well as soft drinks. Overall, it was not a satisfying experience. Our main course was out super late and our waiter was apologetic. The bill took a long time to come as well. I wouldn't recommend this place as there was no value to customer! So much needs to be improved.

We opted for their Al la carte and ordered risotto, pizza, and pasta. We also got complimentary bread and order their ice cream flight, which came with kiwi, mandarin, and berry. Everything tasted great. Service was very friendly and ambiance was dark, casual yet classy. Highly recommend coming here before your next show

Cocktail was really not good at all. Basic whiskey sour but I knew it wouldn't be good when they didn't dry shake the mix with egg whites before adding ice. It had no depth no body. Flavor was off .

It annoys me when such a wonderful place gets an average of 3 stars. I assure you that this place…read moreis a winner. I suppose some diners have high expectations coming in, and might get disappointed. Plus, there may be some slip-ups from the kitchen (see below.) But these can be forgiven considering how wonderful this place is overall. There are so many things to love about this place. Stock is a two-storey foodie delight in hip Yonge and Eglinton. It's set in a beautiful art deco building reclaimed and renovated from a postal station. The downstairs is a high-end delicatessen with lots of amazing ingredients and prepared food. The upstairs is an elegant restaurant + bar with serious food, nice cocktails, and excellent service. Here I review the restaurant. First of all, the ambiance is fantastic. It's open concept with big windows. It's airy, with gorgeous art deco furnitures. It's a fantastic place for a first date, or a special occasion. Second, the service is top-notch. From the welcome staff to the knowledgable, and super friendly wait staff. Third, the food is delicious. The salmon Crudo was excellent. The veggie pizza was excellent. The prime rib Sunday roast special was fantastic (especially the wonderful Yorkshire budding). The marinara sauce for the pasta was some of the best in recent memory. However, there were two glaring slip-up from the kitchen. The oyster mushrooms for the oyster mushroom salad were cooked to death in a strange batter. It was inedible, but was quickly replaced by the server. Also, one of the pastas was so al-dente, it was almost raw. These are indeed major mess-ups. Still, I will stick with my 5-star review, hoping that management will take this feedback into consideration.

The entrees were two pizzas, Stock breakfast sandwich and chicken and waffles. My family enjoyed all the food. Only critique would be the chicken waffles needed a little honey or maple syrup. The Stock breakfast sandwich was the highlight of my meal. The fried egg, chicken patty, bacon, swiss cheese and spinach was heavenly. I recommend you try something on their brunch menu. My wife enjoyed her Santo Stefano pizza which had fresh prosciutto, arugula and dollops of mozzarella di bufala. The desserts were incredible as well. The Stock rocher was a giant Ferrero Rocher with gelato ice cream. The tiramisu was topped with cocoa and embossed with Stock branding. If you are looking for a nice date spot or brunch spot with some beautiful views of Toronto you should definitely visit Stock Bar. There's also a full service market on the main floor offers some delicious Italian sandwiches, pizza slices, rotisserie chicken, and premium products.

We shared everything we ordered and not one dish was a miss - Caesar salad an interesting and tasty version w baby romaine; mussels in a spicy tomato based broth is a must order; pappardelle pasta with homemade sausage and Swiss chard- excellent; arancini (rice ball) crisp and full of flavor and finally the spicy/honey pizza with nicely charred crust. I highly recommend sharing so you can try multiple menu choices. It's a cozy local spot with friendly professional service. Thanks!
