two pizzas and a drink
Vincent S.

It was rated on Google as 4.8/5 stars, so I went in with quite high expectations. There were a few things I liked and did not like at this location and overall, that would give it a mediocre rating for Italian food Some things I did like included the very friendly staff and the accommodating service. It was easy to make a reservation on short notice. The pizza is made in some oven and is a good consistency with a good baked flavour. I found that all the pizzas that they offered were a little bit on the basic side, but the ingredients made it really tasty. The duck Ragu was also very generous in the amount of meat that was provided. Pasta was all cooked al dente, and was an excellent texture. The Ragu had a nice flavour profile with wine, however, the meat was not very tender was a bit try. It was more of a shredded consistency. Things I do not like included that the restaurant is closing quite early around 930 on a Saturday night, so do not expect to spend a lot of time here if you are trying to go on a date. The price was also pretty high, given the dining experience and the food quality. The drinks were a little bit mediocre, and many people I feel like would not want to order a second drink

The eggplant meatballs were the highlight here for me unfortunately. We had a lamb ragú as well which was just average. I did however love the aperol spritz, this might be an apps and drinks kind of place and I have no qualms with that as I did enjoy the service and the general ambiance of the place.

Pappardelle

We had a nice patio dinner here and enjoyed Italian cuisine. There's a main patio area that's in an alleyway next to the restaurant and then 2 small tables in front of the restaurant next to Adelaide St W. We sat next to the road and it wasn't as bad as we expected for the cars going past us. Food came out very quick and was hot when it arrived (tho it cooled down due to the wind outside). The pappardelle was very good, you can tell the pasta was very fresh and the braised beef ragu was also tasty. Pizza was also very good but we hoped for a little bit more toppings as we could only taste the olives. Overall a nice restaurant with good food and service.

Pasta
Ellie H.

Second time visit, not as good pasta as the fist time. The flavor was too mild, while the first time I came the homemade pasta has a good balance of "Al Dente" with light yet flavorful sauce. This time it's a bit below expectation. Fish is really good! Highly recommend. The service wasn't though, they seem pretty unpleasant for us being there waiting for another person and constantly come checking. Hinted us to leave when we finish- there wasn't even people waiting. Not great service experience.

Porchetta Crostone
Andrea L.

Was able to find a table easily via their online reservation system. Service was excellent (the owner and servers checked on us regularly) and they had a nice patio area set up in the alleyway next to the restaurant. However, the food was hit and miss. Perhaps the kitchen staff needs to get back into the groove of things. By the end of the meal we were all full but not satisfied. For the price we expected much more. Unsure if I'll come back. Here's what we had: * Polpetta Finti - absolutely delicious! I could have just had this for dinner and would have been completely happy. * Porchetta Crostone - also very delicious! They flavours and textures were great! * Pappardelle (braised brisket) - the pasta was cooked perfectly but the dish itself was bland. If was difficult to even taste what the brisket was supposed be. Also we found the sauce very thin and runny. Not sure if that's what the chef was going for. * Costole di Manzo (braised short rib, dark beer, honey, orange, rosemary) - unfortunately another bland dish. You could barely taste any of the dark beer, orange or rosemary. You could however? taste the honey as the dish itself was quite sweet. * Alto Adige Pizza - nice pizza and the taleggio was flavourful. * Porchetta Pizza - another one of the tables favourites. Very tasty. Had we only ordered appetizers and this pizza, and we would have been happy. * Mascarpone Crema Pavlova and Ontario Berries - the berries were nice and the meringue was good, if you like very sweet meringue.

The braised short rib and a pasta dish

This is a Toronto "must" if you ask us. The food was authentic Toscana and the atmosphere perfect. We ate the braised short rib and some of the pastas - all of which were flavorful! The staff and owner all interacted with us and were simply delightful.

Pappardelle w/ beef brisket & gluten free pasta

Service here was amazing! Sat outside in the alley way with some friends. The waitress went out of her way to confirm multiple requests with the chef to accommodate my digestion sensitivities. They usually do not have gluten free pasta, but luckily for me, the chef had said they got 1 box in & were willing to give it to me! I ate the Pappardelle w/ beef brisket, but obviously it wasn't pappardelle pasta, seeing as I requested the GF. The chef even personally came to our table to ask if I would be ok with my pasta being boiled in the same water as other pastas! Very thoughtful. The pasta itself tasted delicious! My bf finished his meal & started munching off mine too.

One would think being the only paying diners at the restaurant on a Friday evening would garner better service, but that was the exact opposite. The staff was preoccupied with a staff meeting during the restaurant opening hours; albeit, we were there at 5:30pm for dinner, but one would think a staff meeting would be held during the hours when the restaurant was closed. Our server was scarce, and the only (and I'm using this generously) service we got was who appears to be the owner who was preoccupied with changing the halogen bulb over the bar and updating something on the computer. May be my experience was an anomaly, but I will find it difficult to return on my own volition. The food portion was definitely on the lean side, but I completely understand why some restaurants choose to do this, but the display or presentation was lacking; however, the food was above average. Unfortunately, the terrible service took away from the overall experience. Did I mention that our server was difficult to locate and was eventually found to be in a staff meeting? I really didn't appreciate having to walk over to the "owner" to request the bill. Then I had to walk over to request the charge card machine. This is completely unacceptable! [ As an aside, maybe this was why there was a 1,000 point giveaway via OpenTable for this restaurant. I got what I paid for I guess :( ]

In doing some research prior to coming here, I noticed that this place is only open from 6-10:30 Monday-Saturday, which I found a little odd. I got there at 6 and so the place was empty, a few minutes later another couple came in but we were the only 2 couples in there. There were a bunch of reserved tables but nobody else came while we were there. There are more tables in this restaurant than I expected (looks small from the outside) and they have a nice front part where the doors can open up and let a nice breeze through the place. I wasn't sure what Tuscan cuisine was (I thought Italian was Italian), so I was looking for a nice place of pasta and tomato sauce. Turns out they don't have that there. Tuscan cuisine is more stews and sauces that have nothing to do with alfredo or tomato sauce. I was mildly disappointed but it turns out I thoroughly enjoyed this place anyways. My wife had the antipasti special with some random stuff on it but it was really good. There was some cheese that you eat with tomatoes and basil (like bocconoci or however you spell it) but it was much more flavourful. I had the carpaccio drizzled with olive oil and some leafy greens. Very good. For dinner it was also very good. We both had a pasta dish, my wife with had some tortelli stuffed with cheese and asparagus in a butter sage sauce, and I had some pasta with beef brisket. The noodles were home made and man were they delicious. They don't taste like anything you get out of the grocery store. For desert my wife had this banana gelato with a lava cake and some bananas creme bruleed. Again, really good. Of course, the only complaint I have about this place is that I think it is a tad expensive and maybe the portions could be a little bigger. But all the foods I believe taste this good with this kind of quality and flavour cost about this much, so maybe I should stop complaining about it because I'm not going to find cheaper. I appreciate the fact that the place uses in season local ingredients to make their foods. I had no problem with the service as well. The guy was very polite, attentive and made you felt appreciated that you were there. If people want to try some not so stereotypical Italian food, give this place a try.

I came here for summerlicious dinner on a Friday and got a really nice table in front of the open window. The ambiance of the restaurant is more upscale casual, but the food did not exactly reflect that. Starting with the chicken pate which was average, then we got the steak and the pork chops, both of which were also average. We were not asked how we wanted our steaks cooked which was odd, and they came out cut in strips with each strip cooked a different temperature. The vegetables that came with the steak were cooked in some kind of vinaigrette and it all just tasted very sour. For dessert we all chose the panna cotta which I kind of enjoyed, but was in a very tiny jar. Aside from that we shared the prochetta appetizer from the main menu which tasted like a deconstructed pork banh mi. I would not come back here to eat from the regular menu as the prices really aren't justifiable.

Brioche on the left, some unidentified animal parts in the middle + a tablespoon of pate (w/ capers on top) on the right. $18.
Rahul R.

Meh. This place is pretty good, but not on the value scale. The entrees were pretty solid, but our appetizer was pathetic. $18 for a tablespoon of pate? Poor form. And when we shared our feedback, we were clearly told that this wasn't the first time they'd heard such comments, and yet nothing has changed - for me or the general portion size. They only offered a defense of how special it is. This ain't my first pate rodeo. The portion size is absurdly small. And when faced with a dissatisfied customer, it goes a long way to attempt to make it right - but they didn't. All in all, I'm not opposed to Tutti Matti, but hope they become more customer centric and responsive to feedback to improve their 3 star rating from me and overall 3.5/5 star rating for the masses. It would've led to a willingness to try more courses, extend our evening and spend more money.

Dining Experience: Lunch Specialty: Italian Tuscan cuisine Menu items: Fagottini, Duck Pappardelle & Warm Bacio and Banana Lava Cake I'm matti about Tutti Matti and everybody's crazy about it too. A cute and somewhat hidden Tuscan inspired restaurant located in the Fashion district, has created a name for itself by offering some unique and exquisite Tuscan dishes. In addition to having a rather unique name, that as you may have already caught onto translates to English as "Everybody's Crazy", it welcomes the downtown crowds with fresh home-made pastas, breads and daily dessert menus that will make you go matti. Fagottini is the dish we decided on to kick-off our work week lunch. Traditionally, Fagottini is an Italian pasta shaped in squares and filled with vegetables, steamed carrots, green beans, ricotta, onion and olive oil. However, Tutti Matti decided to spin this tradition by making a phyllo style pastry using chickpea flower and stuffing it with apples, pears, leeks, three kinds of cheese, hazelnuts, radicchio and truffle honey. Although Tutti Matti deviated from the traditional way of making Fagottini, they did stick to the region's use of truffles making this dish a delicacy and a must. Tuscany is know for growing unique truffles that are used in most pasta and risotto dishes. Skipping primi and going straight into secondi, we ventured off with the Duck Pappardelle. Pappardelle is a flat homemade noodle that is often served with rich sauces such as hare, wild boar or duck and can be found on most menus in the Tuscan region. The Duck Pappardelle was a daily special that we just had to try and it did not disappoint. The fact that Tutti Matti makes its pasta right on the premises speaks volumes, not only of the restaurant, but also of the taste of the pasta itself. It was fresh, eggy, full of taste and al dente, just how I like my pasta. The rest were just toppings. Ok, the duck was good too, but I am sticking to the noodles on this review. My absolute favourite. My dolci does not need an intro. All I have to say its that you have to try Tutti Matti's daily dessert offerings. I had their warm Bacio Chocolate and Banana Lava Cake, topped with glazed bananas and accompanied by a home-made banana ice-cream. The perfect way to end my meal. And if that was not enough, a spoon into the cake had me drooling yet again. The interior was not only soft, warm and sweet, but it also had little pieces of banana that made it ooey-gooey delicious. Until next time Foodies! Buen Provecho, Viviana.

Beertown occupies a commanding footprint in Toronto's Financial District -- a sprawling,…read moreenergetically lit gastropub that announces itself with a theatre of gleaming taps and an open, convivial floor plan designed unapologetically for the after-work crowd. It is, in many respects, exactly what it intends to be: a loud, generous, unpretentious haven for those emerging from Bay Street offices or rallying before a Scotiabank Arena event. The beer programme is the undisputed centerpiece. The selection is vast and thoughtfully curated, spanning local GTA craft offerings alongside storied European imports such as Erdinger and La Trappe. Flights arrive on paddles with coasters identifying each pour -- a charming detail that rewards the curious drinker. One could spend an entire evening simply navigating the rotating taps, and many regulars do precisely that. The kitchen delivers pub fare that, while familiar in concept. Service is warm and attentive on its best evenings, with staff who clearly understand the rhythm of a busy house. However, during peak hours the pace can stretch thin, and a lapse in table attention can surface. The noise level is considerable -- an unavoidable consequence of the venue's scale and popularity. Those seeking quiet conversation will find it a challenge; those seeking energy and the communal hum of a city unwinding will feel entirely at home. For the corporate denizen of the Financial District, or the sports fan looking for a spirited pre-game gathering point, Beertown is a reliable and genuinely enjoyable destination. The beer alone is worth the visit.

Mushroom Mafalda - 5/5 HEAVEN! Mafalda pasta with four different mushrooms: cremini, oyster, portobello, and porcini. It's cooked in a truffle cream sauce and is a mushroom lover's dream!

All the food was good, except the batter on the Chicken Tenders was too thick; the chicken was tender. The service was good. For 3 people, our games and food totaled $86.93. I toured the Mahjong rooms on the third floor out of curiosity. The setup was good. To play unlimited board games, it costs $3/p. To play in private Mahjong rooms, it costs $20/h/p. For VIP Mahjong rooms (including drinks), it costs $30/h/p. For wheelchair accessibility, you must enter an elevator at the back of the building. There is free WiFi.
