I'm loving the atmosphere in here. Casual Fine Dining, I think they call it. We need more…read morerestaurants like this.... that serve more than just Italian Food. OsteriaCT is in the heart of downtown, just a few steps away from the Core. It's neighbour, La Bettola De Terroni (also own by Terroni et al.) is a bar/loungey feel, with a very similar daily menu and the added bonus of pizzas. Thursday night at OsteriaCT was bustling. The menu has variety and well priced (except some tricky math...), except a bit confusing (as was the bill later). It says (per person): 5 Antipasti ($15) 5 Antipasti + Primo ($23) 5 Antipasti + Secondi ($28) 5 Antipasti + Primo + Secondi ($35) In the menu, you will see: - the Antipasti for the day. There are no prices. You get all or you get none. - Primos (Pastas) for ($15, except one for $12) - Secondis (Main Dishes, meats and such) for ($15) There are also specials for $22/$28 on the wall, that include the 5 Antipasti If you break this all down, essentially your best deal is the last Full combo, getting the Antipasti + a Beet Salad for free. If you're getting Primo, you're paying an extra $8 (instead of $15) If you're getting Secondi, you're paying and extra $9 If you're getting both, you're paying an extra $5 At first I was annoyed by the math in all this, and we decided to be cheap and order only 3 combos for the table, and share the Antipastis. I take this back after they came, because they were quite yummy. I might even say better than my Primo. Well worth the extra $8. And you won't want to share. I also feared the portions will be tiny, especially since I"ve been to other restaurants and they take the Primo part of it seriously. I was pleasantly surprised when it was somewhere in between, and because it was pasta, quite filling. I would recommend getting a Secondi, only if you're planning on sharing with one or two other people. You want room for dessert! Our server was okay. She wasn't super friendly, and I felt she was a little cold and condescending, but it wasn't anything either way. She spoke fast, explaining to us how the menu worked, and when taking our order, assumed everyone will get getting the Antipasti. I got the Orecchiette with Rapini, Anchovies, Chilli + Garlic. Since on the menu they had a Spelt Orecchiette for another dish, I asked if I can substitute. I was given a blunt "No" and an annoyed look. I gave an equally annoyed look back when I realized that these dishes are either premixed (unlikely) or made in huge batches (more likely, but why not just do another pasta? I'd pay extra). It was an instant minus-one-star moment for me. My pasta was yummy, but some of the pieces slightly too al dente. My boyfriend's Gnocchi in Lamb Ragu was over powered in Cheese flavour, less of the Lamb. Good, but disappointing. Maybe it was the Bread Gnocchi instead of the potato. My cousin ordered the full deal and we got to try the Mung Fish... or wait, was it Munk Fish? (probably) Sitting on top of fennel and olives, and hidden under a pile of shave onion that looks like bonito flakes, were 2 small pieces. Flavourful for sure, but a small ratio between fish and the rest.. For dessert we shared the decadent flourless chocolate cake $9) covered with zabaione (which I learnt is egg yolk+sugar). It's made "especially for you", says the menu - as opposed to everything else.... The olive oil sponge cake was something different ($8) with white chocolate butter cream. We found the butter cream a bit too artificial tasting, but the cake itself was moist and sweet. Perhaps I haven't had Italian food in a long time, and although it used to be my favourite, I've come to realize that ingredients are really basic, but methods and techniques are something to appreciate. The pastas shouldn't cost more than $15 a person, and that's what they do here. With no wine, and dessert it came to about $30-35 per person including taxes and tip. ---- Overall, 4 stars for food taste, prices and quality. Minus one star for the bumps along the way. I recommend the place for groups or a casual meal after work. note: they change their menu everyday, however, I'm looking at it now at the menu dated for March 17th and it does look really similar to last night (March 24th)with a few exceptions. I'm just saying.

Reservation was via open table though it will show up under Le Bettola Osteria. For starters they don't have the prix fix menu anymore. Never mind they have combined the menu of both spots so one can order things from both sides. I was a bit early so went through it again as had to rethink what to order. After a bit of contemplating we settled on ordering Burrata cheese pizza as an app to share I ordered a halibut for the main. My friend ordered a pesto pasta. We were given some good bread to start with a nice olive oil for dipping. Good start. The Burrata pizza is served with cold topping and was good. Then the wait started even though we were checked on regularly there was no sign of the main courses. Halibut though cooked well was nothing special. Not much seasoning which is fine but the sides could have elevated this dish a bit. I did taste the pasta and being my jaded self when it comes to pasta dishes didn't care for it much. For what one pays here I would say I expect better. 2.5 stars.

We've been meaning to come back but due to work schedules never coinciding to when Coppi's open, take out was our only choice. I emailed Alex, the owner, and ordered the following: x1 Gnudi Al Pomodoro x2 Risotto di Mare x1 Frito Misto x1 carpaccio x1 Salad This was all done same day and was ready to be picked up by 7PM. Since my partner didn't finish work until 1:00am, so there were some hesitation on the quality of freshness but I needn't not to worry. I just kept some of the dishes in a heated over until then and the food tasted just like it was straight from the kitchen. Coppi was great in 2020 but it was even sublime in 2022. I can't wait to come back!

We had come here on a Saturday afternoon at 12:30 pm for lunch. When we had first walked-in, we…read morewere pleasantly surprised to notice how nice the restaurant was. It was decorated beautifully, with chic artwork and beautiful music playing on the speaker. We had made reservations in advance however, we then realized that reservations weren't necessary, as the restaurant only had guests at 2-3 tables at that time. We were greeted by a server, whom then brought us to the table that was reserved for us. Upon first being seated, we noticed that this particular server wasn't too friendly; she would complete her duties as required however, she seemed bothered, and didn't seem to be enthused to be serving us. Nonetheless, after placing our orders, we then waited patiently for the food to arrive. We had first settled on the calamari fritti, which were, too overcooked. They were much more crunchier than they should have been, tasting only somewhat more appetizing when dipped in the accompanying sauce. For our main dishes, I had settled on the veal masala with a mushroom sauce, with a side of vegetables and one potato (which I found a bit odd). The veal was tender, however, there was hardly any of it, along with the potatoes, which consisted of, only one potato. The vegetables were plentiful though, which was what filled me up. My mother had settled on the chicken, which one again, had one potato, and too much cream sauce. The pasta that my daughter ordered had a lot of meat in the sauce however, the meat was salty, and the pasta didn't have enough salt on it. Considering the price that we had paid, we were expecting a better array of food alas, we were disappointed. We even asked if complimentary bread was given, with the waitress looking confused. Overall, this restaurant had a great vibe to it however, we didn't find the server to be inviting, along with the food, which wasn't too appetizing. We wouldn't come back to this restaurant, and would reconsider our options for the next time.

In…read morefact, I was only here as we did a search for Italian when I was in the area and saw that it had fairly strong reviews. It's not really a trendy place, with the decor and the menu that could easy fit into 2005 seamlessly - but that's not a bad thing. When we came, they had an anniversary special for $39 which came with an appetizer, a main and a dessert. Both my wife and I opted for it. For appetizers, we chose: a beet salad and a crab cake. For entrees, my wife went with arctic char with roasted potato and veggies. I went with butternut squash ravioli. And for dessert we both got creme brulee. The quality of the ingredients and the food preparation really stood out. My wife absolutely loved her fish and said it was the best she's had in awhile. The sauce from my ravioli was so good that I took the remainder home. We were very happy with the service throughout. It all comes down to execution. If you were to read the menu, it looks pleasant enough, but it might not jump out you either. But I can say that if they're consistent, you will really enjoy your meal and probably have your expectations exceeded.

After getting the Winterlicious menu, we ordered fried chicken with cucumber and pickled onion for appetizer, then an Arctic char and Sirloin steak for entrees and finally tiramisu and creme brule for dessert. The fried chicken was too oily and chewy. Steak was good but the Arctic char dish was off. Fish was too dry and other components of the dish also made the entire dish on the dry end. The tiramisu was ok, but too creamy and I've never seen this shape before. Creme brule felt rushed and little caramelization on the top. Waiter was prompt with checking on the food and refilling the water. You also need to ask the hotel front desk for a key to use the washroom, which is a bit weird.

The Caesar salad here is relatively disappointing .. I think grocery store bagged versions are honestly better but it still did the job. Something I noticed this time that was different from last was that the inside doesn't have much spunk or ambiance. I sat outside the first time I came here and ordered in the second - they could use better music and louder music, some candles and some more party energy especially for the later parts of the day on the weekends. I still like this place but it could really be something special with some more Toronto energy! Overall it is still a 4/5 but they could turn up the heat with the ambiance.

But this place impressed me. It is homey, fresh, and tasty! Ordered lamb with tomato sauce, spanakopita, dolma, baklava Lamb is tender. Matches well with the sauce and grilled veggies. Spanakopita is light, crusty flakey, with great tzatsiki sauce. Dolma is big size (i always eat small doma, so its surprising to see big ones) and tasty!! It has some sort of lemon sauce thats mixed with sth. Baklava is big size (i was hoping for smaller. lol), and it is not overly sweet. Everything is just perfect!!! It's been a week and taste + experience still lingering. Really like the spanakopita and want to eat more at the end but my stomach is too full. Looking forward to come back, bring more friends, and try other food. P.S. looks like people by default eat at 1st floor. but 2nd floor has a nice , close-knit atmosphere. it's like someone recognize someone else whenever someone came.

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.

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.
