Food was decent, came out fast and has a nice selection of foods to eat! Went there with some co-workers for a small lunch/celebration. Got a Brasato pizza + Calamari. Ordered through a cashier, sat down and waited for my name to be called out. There is no servers/waiters, you get your own food and put the dishes away after you're done. For that reason, there is no tip required, which was nice (I guess?) My biggest gripe was that the place was quite loud. With the servers yelling your name, to the echo-y environment, I wasn't able to have a good conversation with the people sitting right next to me. I did not see an egg on my pizza like they showed on the display screen while waiting in line, but the food was still good enough for me to enjoy what I had. To my surprise the calamari was grilled, not fried/breaded, which was a nice change of pace. I think I still prefer my breaded calamari though :) Overall, A good place to try, especially for a quick bite. The food came out quite quickly which I was happy with. Will come back to try their sandwiches next time. read more

I was on my way to another eatery but it was closed. Tosto was close by so I decided, "Why not?" The atmosphere is very lively so I knew this was a trendy spot. Simple black and white menu and nice variety of options. The norma was great although a bit bland (I had to doctor it up with some seasonings). Otherwise it was a tasty, hot meal on a cold, frigid day in some wonderful company. Good on you Tosto! read more

I saw another post that mentioned that great service. I would also say the service is very good in terms of the people, but not necessarily the overall service the restaurant provides given they charge restaurant prices. You order, you pick up your own food and you put your own stuff away, yet prices are equal to other restaurants in the area (Scaddabush for example). That aside, most of their dishes are OK. I have found that some of their salads, such as the Caesar, have way too much dressing, while some of their pasta dishes, such as the Bolognese seem to be over spiced with too much sauce, not enough noodle (strange it is usually the opposite). I still come here every once in a while as some of my co-workers like it. Some of the pizza's are pretty good. Someone mentioned the Margherita. At the end of the day there isn't much in the area so they are filling a void for those looking for a lunch time place. Get here before noon at lunch or you won't find a seat. read more

Being so close to home, the Y, and Women's College Hospital, we had high hopes for Tosto, and so we tried a take out order of pastas and a pizza. I usually can't stand the use of the word "meh", but that was our reaction. Except for the meatballs, they had an herb that both hubby and I didn't like so the dogs were happy that night. The carbonara was okay, but nothing exciting. The best item was the Funghi (Mushroom) Pizza, but it wasn't great enough to inspire a return visit. It did inspire me to make my own linguini in mushroom cream sauce, and that was delicious, so, I guess I owe them thanks for that. read more

Good lunch spot if you work in the area. Conveniently located and a good amount of seating. I had their truffle pasta - must say it was just ok. The pasta was a little overdone read more

I had no idea that Tosto let's customers go to the kitchen and make their own pizzas! Well, at least that's what Joseph, the owner of this Tosto, told a coworker when, after waiting over an hour for her pizza, asked Joseph how long it took to make a pizza. Instead of being apologetic, customer service pro Joseph told her to go make her own pizza if she thought she could do it faster. Recap - it has been an hour since her order was placed. Then he cancelled her order, gave her a refund and told her she wouldn't be getting her pizza and shoo'd her off. Another coworker went to confront Joseph about his poor attitude, to which Joseph proceeded to wag his finger in my colleague's face and telling him to mind his business. Not only is this place a disorganized mess, but the tyrant who owns it cares more about his ego than your satisfaction. Please join me, and many others. in showing some love to literally any of the other businesses in the area who appreciate your business and treat you with respect. read more

Ok food but terrible attitude. Does not treat customers with respect when they are busy, impatient. read more

Nothing more to say than it's just not good food. The grilled chicken on the Caesar salad clearly came from a frozen Tyson bag and the pizza is a square cracker with store bought sauce. Seems like nice owners but Sorry. read more

This place is alright. I enjoyed the variety of different food items from unique pizzas and pastas. The prices are reasonable esp for the quantity you get. Quality wise is alright. We had the carbonera and a pizza with apple slices. The carbonera, took like 15 min to come out, and tasted more like an asian stir fry version of carbonera. Wasnt that rich in taste nor tasty tbh. Pizza was alright too. Idk what I was expecting but it didnt knock my socks off. read more

I went to this place a couple of times and I have to say I always had a good experience. Of course I'm not expecting gourmet Italian food but for the price, the area and the business model of this restaurant the food is excellent! Funghi come crostini all the way every time I come here, also last time I ordered from here through U we eats I had the pesto pasta with chicken, which for my surprise (pesto and chicken I wasn't sure) it tasted really good. I wouldn't recommend this place for a romantic dinner of course -it's more a Order and grab eat here/out type of business but for lunch, a snack or some Italian food while discussing a new project with a work colleague is perfect! Also they have aranciata San Pellegrino: my favourite! read more

Ordered uber eats - the pasta was really good (Funghi and the Norma). You can tell it's fresh / home-made. Pizza left something to be desired (Margherita), I really didn't like the dough. It was kind of pillsbury-like and there wasn't enough cheese. The garlic bread was alright. Overall no complaints. read more

They never disappoint me !! It's not an "Americanize" Italian place like The Old Spaghetti Factory. Funghi pasta / pizza is the best. Also a lot of space to sit down. read more

I ordered takeout this place is right at the end of my street. So I got there, and it was already ready. So in fact it was cold. I ordered pizza, and all the toppings were piled up on top of the crust. So instead of a 6 inch round, you have a twin strip of pizza crust with the toppings piled up on top. OK lesson learned read more

For a quick order and pick up place I wasn't expecting much but this place really surprised me. I shared the carbonara pasta and brosata pizza. The pasta was on point. Not too salty or saucy and it was a healthy portion size. The pizza crust hinted at a Pizza Hut but was way better. Lots of seats. Clean. Highly recommend if your in the area. read more

Meh. Tried out Tosto one night because boyfriend and I were too lazy to cook and wanted to try out something in the area we haven't been to before. Sad to say our whole meal was very "meh" - not the best pizza, calamari or salad I've had, and definitely not worth the price for a casual restaurant. read more

I tried Fungi and Margherita pizza and they were absolutely AMAZING !!! Pastry kind of crust !! Highly recommend!!! Good quality and good prices read more

I ate the worst pasta in my life here... Ordered a Carbonara, it came with a thick uncooked udon noodle instead of linguine (which is whats supposed to be according to menu)... and the price was too high compared to the quality of food. Felt like I seriously wasted my money. read more

Tosto Quickfire Pizza Pasta - Pizza Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

I live close by and received their flyer in my mailbox. Now, most flyers I receive make a quick dive into the recycling box in the lobby of our building (because we need ANOTHER sushi rest. or another burger joint downtown...ppfftt!).....well, for some reason this restaurant's flyer didn't. It made all the way up to my apartment where I actually read it, looked the restaurant up online and even.....gasp....yelped it for reviews. (I know, right?!) A few days later, Wednesday afternoon to be exact, I thought I'd try it. Why not....what else is there to do on a Wed, afternoon? Eat! (yay!) Wheelchair Accessible door - check. Spacious digs - check. Menu on the wall - check. Attentive staff - check! (see where I'm going with this?!!! ;) ) Clean - super check. It was all so easy. Ordered, paid and sat down. (I'm sporting a cast & crutches....so, this next part was cool for me...) Gracie, who took my order brought me my drink at my table, then when my order was ready....courteously, delivered the meal to my table. Now, here's where I was super impressed.....normally, they would take your name upon ordering, and you'd go up and pick it up from the front counter when it's ready. Nope! Gracie saw that I wasn't able, and took it upon herself to bring it over to me. (little things like this do matter, btw!) Huge helping of food (had the Funghi) tasted great (think - comfort food!) and I didn't feel rushed or overwhelmed by any loud music playing or people milling about. Great balance! Now, I get that this is a Bay/College restaurant. Lived in the neighbourhood for a million years and never stepped foot in it's previous incarnation of restaurants. It's never been the area to get 'good food' (Select Sandwich?!! Really?!!)...but, dear reader.....things have now changed! It's good. It's really good, actually! I've only ever written a few other reviews here on yelp....I'm by no means a foodie or a big reviewer....but, I liked this place. I think it a really great place, with great food and great staff. (see, I used 'great' three times in that sentence!) Go try it. Really, what do you have to lose? read more

This place opened last year on Bay St just north of College. I have heard some colleagues at work talking about it and was receiving mixed types of comments, finally I decided to try it since my insane passion for any type of Italian food. I walk through the giant orange door and suddenly I am in front of some typical Italian poster: tomato sauce cans, a burning oven with pizza forks caressing the fire but also a slice of modernity all around. The decor is very modern. One area is elevated, where you can seat to dine in and the entrance where you can order take out and wait on one of the chairs. Then the food: I had funghi crostini: delicious and delicate, spaghetti with tomato sauce - I like to appreciate the simplicity yet rich taste of the pasta. I have to say: I was impressed! I definitely recommend this place. Ps: they are fast too. read more

Great selection of food. Amazing customer service. I am a vegetarian and I accidentally ordered the wrong pizza. After they brought it over, they realized from my conversation with my colleague at the front that I didn't eat meat. They went out of their way to get me a vegetarian option and were fantastic. Highly recommend!! read more

Solid choice for take out in the neighbourhood. Dude behind the cash was super friendly, informative, totally willing to jump in to make the sale. They have three sizes of pizza, we were sharing just two of us and so we chose the middle size, which works out to 3 pieces each. We shared a pasta, too, and this made a good sized meal for two people and only $27. I preferred the pizza - the crust was really good, and the toppings were great (funghi), but he preferred the pasta (carbonara). Next time I'd want to try some other things, but I would certainly be back. read more

The food was so yummy especially the squid ink pasta, it's 5 star food at a very reasonable price.

Solid pastas. Although the tomato based pastas tasted a bit canned (but fresh) and lack the deep richness of flavour that comes with simmering the crap out of it. But for 15 bucks ? This is how pasta should be priced unlike the some overly hyped pretentious establishments cough**buca cough** anyways I had the Nero which is squid ink pasta.. Very good flavour and seafood which also included ikura salmon fish row garnish which was a nice touch ... Only thing is service is cafeteria style where u get everything yourselves. They call you to the counter with a beeper thingy when the food is done, which is a bit weird I've only seen this system in Asia btw. read more

I didn't want the pasta to be that good, but it is, so now I won't be able to pass by here without suffering the pangs of carb-longing. What have you done to me, The Norma? No wonder there were so many orders ahead of mine, and so many more after, too. read more

See all

I work nearby so have been meaning to check out this place for a while. I finally visited this evening and found the atmosphere to be spacious, modern and inviting and the staff to be extremely friendly and helpful. For 7pm in the evening on a rainy day, the restaurant was actually quite busy. Dine-in guests order at the front, grab a seat and wait for their name to be called when their dish is ready. Pastas/pizzas are all around $10-$13 a serving and there's also the option to order beer and wine. I ordered the spaghetti pomodoro ($10) and found it to be quite tasty and the portions VERY generous! (I had to take some home because I couldn't eat it all). Personally, I quite like the cafeteria-style service. If this was a "table service" restaurant prices would probably be at least double + tip, but it's not, which makes it a great affordable casual dining option for the neighbourhood! read more

The eat-in side of things is not the most efficient. You walk in, and there is no seating hostess. You have to order your food by lining up in the tiny waiting area, grab a little beeper and wait until it beeps and you pick it up from a counter. It's very easy for anyone to just grab someone else's order. Then you try to take a seat in a crowded area with communal tables where inconsiderate folks take up 5 seats for 2 people (because their jackets and purses are supposedly eating too). Like, what is this circus act? Food was subpar. Will not return. read more

A cross between fast food and gourmet sit-down. The limbo is worth it! Quick prep times (we didn't wait longer than 10mins) and very filling! The menu is also super diverse - sure to suit everyone's cravings. read more

Really spacious and clean family run place. The people are super friendly and provide great service. I had the soppressata pizza and they made it quickly. The crust was really crunchy and good quality soppressata. I would come back here again for lunch! Also the family is really nice so that's a bonus. read more

Been to this location a few times, both the pizza and pasta selections have been very good, tasting authentic and rich. I will keep coming back at the chance! read more

I've never had a bad experience here- the prices are reasonable, portions are huge, food is made quickly and the quality is good. Their pastas are really fresh and highly recommend ordering any of them (the one with braised beef is yums). Their pizzas are alright, not a huge fan. The restaurant is really clean and I think there's free wifi so you'll see a lot of students here with their laptops plugging away. However, there is one girl who works at the front gave me some attitude when I asked her for two plastic containers for my olive oil and chilli flakes- she kept insisting it would be better if I put it on my pasta rather than taking it to go and when I said no, she rolled her eyes at me. Rude. read more

Came here for lunch on a weekday. Grab a seat first as tables can run out during lunch rush. Order your food. Wait for buzzer to vibrate. Grab your food. Drinks. Utensils. Pretty much self serve. Fair prices. Funghi pizza was delishhhh and really filling. We also ordered both Romano and caprese salads. Very lightly dressed but refreshing. Would return for a quick bite next time I'm in the area and try the other pizzas. read more

Hidden gem -- Best fungi pasta I've ever had, and the brasato pizza blew my mind. My gf hates pizza in general, absolutely HATES it, and I told her to try a bite. She loved it. So you can imagine how good it was. Price was good for food quantity, and the food and place reminded me of levetto, but better. read more

Really like the food and the orange juice is so good. Also liked the look of the place. Only problem is you clear your own dishes etc which was a bit confusing where to put stuff :) the wait wasn't too long although it was pretty empty when we went read more

Not impressed! Ordered their often raved-about funghi pasta and what I got was a plate of overly thick pasta with a sauce that failed to incorporate the robust flavours of the mushrooms. When places do this dish right the richness of the cream is infused with the deep flavours of the mushrooms ... Tostos failed miserably in that department. Their grilled calamari didn't fair any better unless you like rubbery calamari with a single note seasoning. read more

Came back here for lunch earlier this week and had their special - the lobster pasta. It was amazing! Hands down my favourite place for pasta and they were also very generous with the lobster. It exceeded my expectations and I can't wait to come back! read more

It was my first time trying this place and it will be my last...I hate the cashier that took our order. She helped me experience bad customer service for the first time. Thanks honeybun. The food was decent btw read more

I would say this place is okay. The style of pizza is not my favourite, a little bit too crispy for me. It was almost a flat bread like pizza. I can see how some people might really like it though.Not enough grease for my liking. We also had a salad that was very tasty but also very plain overall and not that big. I would maybe go back to try the pasta since it did look good on other people's plates. read more

An excellent place to go for lunch and dinner! My favourite dish is the Pasta Carbonara and the Patata pizza. Price is reasonable since you get an authentic Italian meal for a shorter serving time. Very excited to try the Prosciutto sandwich and Cacio e Pepe Pasta; I have heard many great things about the two. read more
