The food is average - and I've tried five different items. It's a good spot if you're staying across the street at the Sheraton and need a quick solo dinner at the bar. read more

Might just be the best Italian restaurant in town. Great location and quite romantic for a date night dinner. Had the best Ossobuco I've ever tasted! Paired with an awesome glass of wine and un-parallel service, my dining experience was nothing short of spectacular. Will definitely be visiting again. read more

Great atmosphere and friendly service. Food was splendid and quick. Truly an Italian gem.

Waited 1hr + for pasta which was ok . Wouldn't come back. Very frustrating experience because I was hungry.

We watched the latest Hawks vs Pacers game with my friend. They were kind enough to turn on the TV for us. Food was excellent, nothing to say. My friend always recommended this place but I didn't expect the food to be this good. A bit pricey, but not totally worth it. read more

3.5/5! I recommend this place for a large group for summerlicious. We had no problem getting a reservation for a table of 10 on a Friday night. We were pleasantly surprised by the food and service. The starters were the only mediocre part of the meal. The kale salad & mussels are okay (nothing to write home about). However, the main courses were very good. I recommend the Pollo Ripieno but if you aren't in the mood for chicken, the Tilapia Con Carciofi is also good. The best part of the meal is definitely the dessert. The gelato and Classic Tiramisu rank up there with the best in Toronto. Overall, for $35 dinner you won't be disappointed (especially if you enjoy your desserts). read more

Great ambiance and delicious food. Nice assortment of cheeses and nice selection of wine. The Alberta beef and turkey meatballs are a must!

Very good food and friendly service. We enjoyed the pasta and pizza. Turkey meatballs and Bruschetta were amazing. We got the free meatballs with the checkin. Would go there again for sure. read more

Great ambiance, excellent service, tHe beet ravolini and lamb Milanese was incredible!!!

Absolutely amazing. Went on a Saturday night and sat at the bar. Amazing service. Had foccaccia bread, the bruschetta is unbelievable, wine, the carbonara is awesome and the bolagnese is incredible, finished it off with an espresso. My pasta was a little undercooked and they immediately made me a new one and apologized several times which was great. I would definitely go back. read more

Our first visit and the waiters were pleasant and happy to start a short conversation with you. The dinners we ordered were very good. The wine list was good, I was glad to find a Fiano varietal. Definitely a restaurant to visit again. read more

Excellent meal, great service and good prices. The bruschetta is dynamite...the bread is grilled and the smokey flavour really comes through. Probably the most unique bruschetta I've had. The mushroom risotto was on point as well. Our service was exceptional. Overall it was a great experience. read more

Stopped in based on a recommendation - had an excellent meal all around. Cocktail, wine, appetizer, entrée and desert, each was superb. My fellow diners also were extremely happy. I took on the special of tuna carpaccio with New Zealand rack of lamb which was excellent and not over whelming. read more

Booked for a group dinner following work event. The service was fantastic and everything was excellent from drinks to desert. The bacon wrapped dates were a wonderful appetizer. The turkey meatballs were really good too and I loved my risotto dinner. read more

Went with a party of 14 which they gladly accommodated but received horrible service. Waited an hour for two orders of spaghetti(which were comped thankfully). Food was flavorful but small portions. read more

Fantastic, authentic food, great ambiance, great service with the best Tiramisu anywhere!

After 3 visits (twice for dinner and once for lunch) I highly recommend this place if you feel like a nice meal out - price is on par with very upscale restaurants in the area , so not an everyday spot but great when you feel like a nice meal out with exceptional service. The food is well prepared and presented well - I wouldn't say there is a must try dish - as we were all happy with our 3 courses. What sets it apart is that is quieter and not as hurried as the other restaurants in the downtown core. read more

Great wine, very professional waiters, and very well prepared authentic Italian food. AMAZING dessert.

SINGLE DINERS BEWARE I made a confirmed reservation for 7:45pm and arrived at 7:44 to be told by hostess that no tables were available and I should wait 15 min at the bar( in other words SPEND MONEY . I pointed out a two top table by the window and she said oh that's reserved to which I replied I have a reservation at this time and there is NO ONE ELSE HERE WAITING She said she'd have to go and check but after waiting a few minutes for her return I decided I didn't want to give my money to a place that handled customers so rudely so went around the corner to another restaurant where I was warmly welcomed even with no reservation As I was being seated the other hostess phoned me to say that she now had a table for me since the Other table had canceled to which I replied that it had been MY TABLE ALL ALONG and I would never return They would rather give a two top to TWO PEOPLE than honor a confirmed reservation My suggestion is never book there as there are Plenty of other places within a half block who will welcome you and honor your reservation read more

Dropped into Little Anthony's after driving into Toronto for the weekend on a Friday night around 8pm. Wine selection was good, food was delicious, and service was prompt. read more

I had the best spaghetti pomodoro tonight! Candice took great care of us at the bar. She served us a really delicious negroni too.

The service here is aces! My mum and I came in before the ballet an hour before curtain. We ordered dinner off of the Theatre Menu and within half an hour, we had had our drinks and our 3 course meal! You'd think because the meal came out fast that it wouldn't be that great, right? WRONG! Their whipped ricotta on crostini with truffles and honey is like heaven in your mouth. The chicken parmigiana was wonderfully lean and moist with the perfect amount of breading and their lemon sorbet -- don't even get me stared. This place is hands down the best restaurant I've ever been to and I will drive all the way to Toronto just to go back! read more

Mediocre. Pasta not al dente. Waiter couldn't get the orders right. Brought an extra side not ordered, and then charged for it, rather than comping the $8. Over priced for the quality. read more

Little Anthony's is my favorite Italian restaurant in the city. The chicken parmesan is the best I've had. Very unique. I definitely recommend to anyone for a business meeting or date night. read more

Remodelled, Simplified and Changed Completely in March 2012 If you are expecting the Little Anthony's from three months ago, I am sad to say, it's gone. The menu is merely a faint echo of what it used to be, with a one page sparse offering now. Prices are up, portions are down. (but, you do get a comically large china plate to eat it off of though - perhaps this is to make you feel like you received a full sized meal) Gone are the linen table cloths and sharply dressed professional wait staff, in favour of younger informally dressed servers. The atmosphere is no longer inviting and comfortable - light green stained wood tables and bright orange chairs now densely populate a very open concept design. Now, it's a "hurry up, eat and get out" atmosphere. Don't try and have a conversation with anyone in this place now unless you are right next to them. Seriously. If you can get over the new lunchroom style atmosphere, the food is ok, but not great. There is better food, service and atmosphere for less, very closeby. To add insult to injury, have you ever heard of a real italian restaurant that doesn't serve a risotto of any sort? That's right, they axed that to, along with almost all of their formerly respectable wine list. With the new atmosphere, much less attentive service, and small menu, I think they're really going to miss the theatre/opera/ballet crowd they have relied on for so long. It certainly has me looking for alternatives now.... read more

We were here for Valentine's Day. Food was delicious, service was alright. Felt a little rushed because they were probably booked back to back. Would go back again when I am feeling like carbs. read more

Big changes to this place from the last time I visited. Food is much more modern as is the decor of the space. Very experienced staff compared to the rest of the York St. Strip. Wine list is a total bargain. read more

Overall really great! Service was amazing and the food was good. Shrimp scampi and turkey balls are both a definite must! The lobster was not as great as I expected. Way to much lobster and dowsed in butter. Chocolate moose for dessert though was amazing. read more

Just had dinner here...I had the steak. I ordered it medium. It came well done. The manager came over and was in our face with a pushy attitude. He offered a new steak and I said no I will never throw out food. I asked if he could comp it or offer a discount and he said no. He than offered us dessert which we don't eat or preseco which is disgusting! He should have offered a discount or comped it because it would have cost more to make another steak and throw one out. The Caesar salad...all I tasted was pepper. Not good at all. We also ordered olives which we never got. Our server was a little slow upstairs...Will not go back. To the horrible manager....I recouped half the cost of my meal by saving on tip. Well done. read more

I've been here twice now, once a couple of years ago and once a few weeks ago. The service was great both times! The staff were knowledgeable about the menu and were able to give great recommendations based on what I was in the mood for. The wine selection is also great which really completed my meal! I would recommend trying the Beat & Goat Cheese Ravolini! read more

We were visiting some friends at the Sheraton, and decided to get a bite to eat at Little Anthony's on Richmond. Needless to say this tired, old place (badly in need of a makeover) is a convenient Italian food restaurant for tourists only. Located next to the Hilton Hotel, and other tourist trap destinations it seeks to give a "authentic Italian" dining experience to Asian and American individuals whose tongues have been robbed of a few million tastebuds. Seriously speaking the Osso Buco Milanese had a strange, tastless gravy, and the meat was inconsistent when masticating. Tender one minute, then chewy the next. The "hard" al dente risotto was edible, but had off tasting sun dried tomatoes strewn about it. The tiger shrimps were grilled and tasty, but lacked imagination, presentation, and spice. The crème brûlée was God-awful from the first poke of the non-crackly crust to the eggy custard taste of the yellow thing in the middle. As well, the Dulce de Leche cheesecake was of the cheap sugary variety found at Red Lobster. We were remiss to try the Tiramisu after it was offered by our pleasant, life-time server named "Bob". Beware of Mediterra Restaurant & Lounge across the street, because it's owned by the same people. Just for kicks and giggles we poked our head in. We took a gander at the lobsters in the aquarium and right away could see they were old and decrepit. Neither place has our blessing. read more

I live in Chicago, the capitol of restaurants. I've been to LA's twice for business dinners. I can't imagine anyone giving this place less than 4 stars, excellent service and absolutely delicious food. The first was with a party of 8 and this last time a party of 4, everyone has left the restaurant raving! The dates wrapped in bacon, minestrone soup, veal, filet are all amazing. read more

(Explanation in case anyone is unfamiliar - Winterlicious is a prix fixe dining event that happens in Toronto every Jan/Feb. Three courses for a set price and a chance to dine at restaurants that might typically be out of range, unavailable, etc.) Since I booked for Winterlicious I wasn't expecting the most dedicated of service but was looking forward to the meal... I know how busy it can get but I certainly wasn't expecting the worst lunch experience I've ever had. - wait times for each course was long, usually long... an hour after our arrival we'd only had the appetizer and the waitress had apologized for the wait twice - when the entree (risotto) finally arrived, it was soupy looking, flavourless and under-cooked (the rice was hard/raw) - obviously rushed and not ready for serving - the manager came over to apologize for the delay as well and we explained the issue with the food - he was extremely apologetic which was appreciated; he also offered to bring replacement entrees but at that point we'd been away from work for almost an hour and a half and explained that we really needed to go so we requested that the desserts be wrapped and we get the bill as soon as possible; he still took a number of minutes to repeat his offer of alternate entrees a couple more times which was honestly more annoying than helpful as we stated how urgently we needed to leave and just didn't feel they could get anything on the table quickly enought to make up for the time we'd already wasted - they had an issue with packing one of the desserts so a further delay while they came out to offer alternatives (and the only "packable" option they had meant my colleague had to take a dessert she doesn't even eat) - the manager delivered the desserts packed to go, told us again how sorry he was, said our "food items would be comped", invited us to come back again and then presented a bill for the desserts and drinks My problems with this: 1. I think the entire meal should have been comped, maybe even the entire bill. And had we known we'd been paying for the desserts as separate items we probably would have skipped them too. 2. When I agreed to try them again, the manager made no offer to book our return visit, or offer his name/card to call later to re-book, or presented any kind of voucher, etc. to use for our return visit which means we would just be making a reservation like anyone else (hard to do during Winterlicious). How is that going to guarantee a good visit the next time? Because of his lack of follow-through, it made the whole offer seem insincere. Sorry Little Anthony's but you were a big disappointment. PS: the tiramisu was excessively wet read more

Love this place. Linguine vongolle is great. Service is fast. They once took the linguine off the menu and I didn't go. Thanks for putting it back on. read more

We visited Little Anthony's for a birthday celebration. This Italian restaurant is fairly quiet so it's great for engaging in conversation without a lot of background noise. It has a modern decor and the service was really good. We ordered the sea bass and the pappardelle. The fish was perfectly baked and the capers didn't overpower the dish. The pasta was well presented with tomatoes and capers. It had just the right flavour of lemon and chili. I would definitely recommend Little Anthony's for a special occasion. read more

Enjoyed a delicious friday night dinner at LA's yesterday. We had the linguini with shrimp and rigatoni arrabiata and both were fantastic with perfect portions. We also enjoyed the signature milano sunrise cocktail, it was very refreshing. The staff and service were excellent and we had a great chat with the young owner who really goes out of his way to make everyone feel welcome and appreciated. I can't wait to go back and try some more dishes! read more

Had the best night. My husband and I went for our anniversary and thought it was classy, refined and the price was in line. The service was top notch and the food matched. I have walked by this place a million times and now I won't pass it up. A place for a great date or a special occasion. The next Time I come back I'm bringing my parents. read more

Portions were small, long wait for food, messed up my drink order and food order, only reason for two stars is they brought the correct fixed order out fast. 17% gratitude to parties should not be added if bad service was received. read more

Food was good, decent Italian, we thought that portions are on the lighter side. Service was good and bathroom is clean. Good for dinner pre-theatre or ballet at Four Seasons Performing Arts since it's just down the street. Good after work dinner location read more

The whole evening was superb. Great decor and ambiance, the service was top notch - attentive, and not over-zealous. The food surprised us all in value and taste. Pasta's are up there as best in city along with desset. Not one dud. Wine list standard. worth a visit !! read more
