Good food, quality is always on point. Pasta portions are a little small considering the price.

My friend took me here for dinner one night and firstly id like to say this place reminded me of Williams Coffee Cafe. Don't get me wrong that isn't a bad thing.. I really enjoyed how the set up was. Made me feel as though I was in a fast food joint but had the elegance of service at the table. My friend ordered "Steak All Italian" and I ordered the "Pollo Balsamico" we shared a side "Tuscan Fries" and 1/2 liter of their finest vino We both enjoyed our meal very much, they were extremely tasty and we found the sandwich to be a huge size. The waiters were quick in collecting our plates and didn't make me feel rushed in anyway. The set up was.. you walk in and look at the board then order, they give you a number, you proceed through the line to the cashier to pay. Once you pay you sit down with your number and you wait to be served. We didn't have to wait overly long for our meal. I really enjoyed my experience here and most likely will return. read more

Unfortunately the highlight of our meal was the italian soda. We found the concept poorly executed and disorganized. While we were reviewing the menu another family walked in, experienced confusion and then turned around and left. We stuck it out. My husband ordered the calabrese sausage sandwich. He took one bite and freaked out. He said it tasted like vomit and wouldn't eat another bite. Thankfully the soda helped cleanse his palate. I had carbonara pasta and while it was better than my husbands, it was nothing special. We definitely will not be returning. read more

Mmmmmm mmmmm, mmm m! Although Via Cibo claims to be Italian street food, the two years I spent in Italy I seldom came across food al fresco as sophisticated as this. I wish Yelp had 1/2 stars because 3 isn't enough and 4 is over doing it. I am a tough reviewer. I've eaten here on many occasions. It's a fav place for me to take my employees cuz the food packs a punch for the buck. I find the pricing very wallet friendly and the atmosphere comfortable and slightly upscale in an unpretentious way. I've tried nearly everything that could be eaten by a lacto/ovo vegetarian and my fav by far is the Gorgonzola Gnocchi sans the pancetta. The slow roasted tomatoes are like dessert to me. The pizzas are best when ordered on $8. dollar pizza day because there's not much to a Napolitano Pizza so getting the special brings it in line with getting what you pay for. The only detractors for me are the fact that you don't get asked if you'd like any fresh cracked black pepper or additional Parmesan cheese but it is available if you follow the server back to the counter for it. As with any place there are the inevitable bumps here and there with the most notable being on my last visit when I found the gnocchi to be mushy as it was obviously overcooked. I mentioned it to an employee in the kitchen but was met with a blank stare and I didn't pursue it because I was on a short time leash. This glitch however, was not enough to deter me as I will return for sure. read more

I came to via Cibo for brunch on a Saturday with some friends. It's a pretty limited menu for brunch, I think there were maybe 8 options; these included french toasts with pecan crusts/Nutella etc., frittatas, eggs benedict - all in Italian style. I had the blueberry lemon ricotta pancakes. My friend had a frittata. The blueberry pancakes were delicious and not too sweet. I really enjoyed it and the portion size was perfect. My friend had the frittata and was also tasty. In total with a cappuccino my bill was $20.35 which for me is steep for the service and amount of food. The way that this establishment works is that you order/pay at the front and seat yourself. The food is then brought to you. There was a patio with some seating and more inside. Overall, a good experience and I would consider returning. read more

Italian names are all over the place and that is all that there is Italian... Setup is nice for a cafeteria lunch style place. Salads are ok but nothing special. Pizzas are absolutely tasteless but the crust is good. Service is very sketchy... If I were a poor student or a guy with no taste buds this would be a perfect place to call "amazing", but since I am neither and have been to many excellent Italian restaurants and cafés in Toronto and in Italy, I would stay as far from this place as possible. read more

Excellent excellent food. Restaurant is the type where you order from the counter from a menu on a board and then sit down with a number on a stick to indicate where the servers should deliver your food. Atmosphere is quite stylish and comfortable, but where this place shines is the food. My wife and I had the Gnocchi, the Calabrese Sausage Piadina, and a side Polpette. Altogether the total was around $35. No drinks, but we ended up taking half of the gnocchi home with us. The gnocchi comes in an amazing Gorgonzola cream sauce with pancetta and slow-roasted tomatoes. So good that I was scrapping the bowl when filling the takeout container so I wouldn't lose a drop. The Piadina is an Italian chewy flatbread. In this case it is prepared as a wrap. The homemade sausage is delicious complimented by the grilled vegetables it is served with. This was my second time getting this dish. The side polpette are meatballs served in a small dish of tomato sauce. The meat is lean enough without losing flavour or tenderness and the sauce is great. There is a panino sandwich featuring the polpette that I want to try next time. Had we the room, we would have ordered something from the dessert menu. The gelato alone came in interesting flavours like chocolate sea salt caramel and peanut butter along with more traditional flavours like vanilla and lemon sorbet. There is also a menu item where they put a gelato flavour and Nutella in a Piadina. I would definitely recommend this place to others. read more

The food is good but the customer service is so bad you might not even get your food if you order through a delivery service. 9/10 times they get your order wrong or forget to send half of it and when you call they don't do anything about it. read more

I was looking forward to this place but I was extremely disappointed. I ordered a rose pasta for takeout and when I got home to open my box of pasta, I realized the noodles and sauce were separated. The sauce was at the bottom of the box and the noodles did not absorb the sauce well. I ended up having really bland noodles.. I was very disappointed because whoever prepared my pasta must have rushed it since it was during peak hours... I do not recommend this place. read more

A self-seating restaurant. Ordered a pasta and pizza and it was very good. The price was reasonable for the quality and good quantity. I'm not a fan of the self-sesting tables as the area is sort of small and you may have to share bench tables with others which isn't my ideal. The area is small so seats could run out. It can accommodate parties but again once a large party takes over it reduces available seating quite a it. I would definitly come back but probably on a quiet night. read more

This is a really neat & busy restaurant. The food is amazing & delicious. I've eaten here 3-4 times & have not been disappointed. I had a chicken wrap (not called a wrap) & it was delicious. What was nice was I also ordered an espresso & the staff waited till lunch was eaten & then delivering my espresso. Nicely done. This is a recommend from me. read more

This place is a TOTAL FIND in a small strip mall like area of Don Mills and York Mills. The decor is open and modern, allowing for casual fast dining, but not so stark that I wouldn't stay for a few drinks after dinner. You order your meal as soon as you walk in the door, which for someone as indecisive as me, is a difficult thing. However, the staff as eager to answer any questions and offer their suggestions, so even I can make a decision. The open kitchen is fantastic. It's always nice to actually see how your food is being made. Drinks are ordered farther down the counter and they have several italian beers on tap. I had the broccolini and sausage pasta. The sausage is homemade, and you can tell care was put into making this delicious sausage "meatballs". The broccolini was plentiful and balanced the linguini. I asked for spicy and the flavour went well with the bitter greens, however the dish ended up being a little too oily due to the chilli oil. I wished the heat would have been added with chilli flakes instead. My dining partner ordered the pollo al pesto, and I managed to steal a bite. And I mean literally steal, because it looked so good he didn't want to let me have some! (It was delicious, by the way.) read more

Good not great for overall food on the menu. Very pricey for what you get in my opinion. Truffle fries were amazing the first visit but not so great after you've tried them a couple times. Pizza is a bit dry and pastas are a bit bland. It's the only Italian place around my area so I come here only when I'm really craving Italian and I don't want to go too far for food. read more

Went here for lunch today. Definitely enjoyed the overall vibe. I would have given it a better rating if the person taking my order was pleasant. She had a TERRIBLE attitude. We ordered the Tuscan fries, the Caesar salad, the Rose linguine with shrimp, and the Pomodoro (noodles were overcooked and stuck together). Despite a few mishaps, the food and portions were good. Not sure if we will be going back. read more

Unfortunately, I need to lower my rating of this place. The pizzas are not quite as good as they were nor is that current staff as good as the initial people who were there. On one recent visit, a pizza topped with prosciutto had it added before baking, causing it to become burnt. (In Italy, prosciutto crudo is added after baking.) And on another a "wild mushroom" pizza was bland and had little strong mushroom flavour. Also. on our last visit, the place had insufficient heat and we needed to keep our coats on. It's still not a bad place, but the quality has declined somewhat from when it opened. read more

Via Cibo - Gnocchi - Italian Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Had a very unique and tasty sausage and egg dish called Eggs Al Forno. I've never had anything like that for breakfast/ brunch. It had spicy Italian sausage all throughout with grilled veggies and two eggs baked on top. I also tried a bite of my boyfriend's Tiramisu French Toast that was as thick as about 5 slices of normal bread and pumped full of tiramisu filling. Very fluffy. Via Cibo would have received a higher review if I were not factoring in the service and operation of the establishment. The set-up of the restaurant is strange, you order food and pay for it at one counter and then you order drinks at a separate counter and pay again. Then you kind of just stand there and look around for a seat, many of which have a super tiny reserved sign on them that you can barely see and if you accidentally sit down at one such table, be prepared to be snapped at by a waitress that you CAN NOT SIT THERE. I'm hoping my next visit will be better. read more

Always delicious here We enjoyed the penne and asked for a rose mix of alfredo and tomato sauce. Also very good was the Tuscan fries. - last visited August 2016 read more

1) Margherita pizza ($10) Nice thin crust with a good amount of cheese. Made in a stone oven. 2) Broccolini and sausage pasta ($13) Linguini was al dente, generous amount of sausage and broccolini. Good portion. The restaurant is a nice space. The decor was well done. The prices are a bit high for lunch but for dinner, this would be a good option. read more

Via Cibo - Margherita pizza - Italian Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Affordably priced mid-range fast food Italian food place that makes homemade pasta and pizzas. Quick fast food style order system (you order when you come into the restaurant, before you sit down) but they'll deliver your order to your table by locating your table with the order number indicator they give you. Spacious and comfortable aesthetic, felt like a diner in some ways but more upscale and vamped up. Came here recently for a friends birthday. Great for brunch! read more

Food is decent, nothing worth writing home about Both had different pasta dishes both 2/5 I am guessing the sandwiches and pizzas are probably better so I suggest opting for those of you happen to choose this place Set up and workers are nice but forgettable food make this one I would not suggest to anyone whatsoever Disclaimer: I live in Woodbridge and am probably a little tougher on Italian restaurants due to the wealth of great options in my area read more

Good food but horrible service. My husband and I came on a Saturday morning. We arrived 2 minutes before their opening time. At 10am, a lady opened the door and ignored two of us who were just standing in front of her. We walked in. Nobody said hi or morning. We ordered food and the cashier had no smile on her face. She didn't even say anything when I said thank you. When she served the drink to our table. She just put the drink down and left. Another lady served food and she was nice and friendly. That is the first time I heard thank you after we stepped in. read more

We had many family/friends gatherings at this place. It used to be better. It still is good sometimes. It's like hit and miss. The other day we went for dinner, I ordered a spicy pomodoro linguini and was delicious. But my husband's pesto linguini was not good at all. My son's margarita pizza was rather sad looking.. I think their Italian sandwiches are delicious than pasta. And their service is great!! For the price you are pay it's not a bad Italian food. read more

What happened? We visited there a year ago when we were and Canada and yesterday we went there again. Huge difference since the last time. First the cashier/food runner has zero personality and has no idea what customer service looks like. When she brought out our food she slammed my sons pizza so hard on the table that the pizza slid off if it to the table. Any apology? No. She just left the food and walked off. She never once came by, even after walking past us several times, to ask if we needed anything. Now the food my pasta was just ok. It was very oily and lacked any seasoning. My sons pizza wasn't cooked all the way. Sadly, we won't be back. read more

We've been here many times and normally the food is really good! Today however the service was very much lacking. The restaurant was not busy - there may have even been more staff than there were customers. However our eggs Benedict was slow to arrive at the table and it was cold. The servers were busy chatting and folding pizza boxes so I guess they were too preoccupied to notice that our food was ready. I had to go up to the counter to ask for more coffee, and no one asked us how our food was. read more

The pizza is rustic style and so tasty, loved the crust. We also shared a salad and it was also very nice. A bit pricey but overall a great dining experience and the staff were very friendly and helpful. read more

I loooove eating here. Theyre brunch is amazing (all off it) but my personal fav is the Portobello piadina. The portions are great and if you're concerned about how "expensive" it is just remember you get what you pay for! Their brownies are also to die for. The downside? 90% of the people who work there are insanely unpleasant. They're moody, cold and straight up awful to interact with. One guy in particular, tall brown haired guy, is a total douche as well as most of the women who work there. The few that are pleasant are SO wonderful. read more

This place would get 4 stars if the service was a bit better and they had more veg options. The food is reasonably good - we as a family of three had the Tuscan fries, a pesto pasta, margarita pizza and a piadina sandwich with Portobello and goat cheese. The last named was very good, the pasta good and the pizza disappointing. For the price of sit down dining, the ambience is sparse and service pedestrian. We wanted some fresh pepper but were told that another table has the pepper grinder but we could borrow it for 10 seconds. I mean I they are limited then they should not on anyone's table. The redeeming feature was the cappuccino and the French press coffee both of which were excellent. The brunch menu looks great and we will try it sometime. But no return trip for dinner. read more

This is probably the best Italian food I have eaten in years. Had the Sausage And Brocolini. Out of this world. Ordered the Spicy version. It has spunk but very tastefully done. Great place for a casual get together, group meal. Definitely recommend this place to anyone look I g for good pasta. Will try the pizza next time. read more

I was somewhat of a regular here since it opened, and this place has always been a hit and miss. The cook and wait staff is constantly changing, so food quality, taste and portions are inconsistent. I am not suggesting the food is not good ... just unpredictable, a gamble and inconsistent. The service is always bad - rude staff, impatient staff, weird ordering system. Sadly you have pay before you get your food/service, so tipping becomes very hard (so I give just 10% instead of the customary 15%). I had complained once a year ago (on their FB page) and the owner/manager/staff/? responded by saying s/he will get back to be shortly. S/he never did. So I stopped going. Recently my friends started saying good things once again, and after a few months I went back last Sunday. Bad decision!! I won't be back ever again and I decided to write this review on Yelp. Last Sunday my usual dish (Brocollini, Sausage and Penne) was overdosed with oil, and it tasted markedly different. I also pre-ordered/pre-paid for an espresso and asked for it after the meal, and I had to ask 2 further times before I had to confront the staff one final time by threatening to leave. read more

Via Cibo - Italian Benedict! The portion and the taste was great! Highly recommend the brunch fries! - Italian Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

This is a great little gem in the neighbourhood. We saw it while passing by and decided to give it a try - and I'm glad we did! The menu is simple, with a handful of items for each category which is good because customers don't like being overwhelmed with choices and the restaurants don't need to be a jack of all trades. We tried a couple of pastas, the steak Italiano sandwich, the ceasar salad and sautéed greens. The broccolini and sausage pasta and the sautéed greens were tasty and had some kick to it with the chilli. The sandwich was good also. The prices were reasonable, just don't expect a full service restaurant. You have to order at the counter and they will bring you the food. I think this is a good concept and keeps the atmosphere casual. read more

Chicken pizza with goat cheese was a bit greasy. The Tuscan fries were amazing. Desserts are really tasty. Pastas are good. Nice decor.

Cafeteria style dining. Good service, good food. My only issue is the price. For a family of four we each had an entree, side salad and drinks (Non-alcoholic). Food portions were far from generous. The bill came to a hair over $80. Definitely NOT what one would consider value-for-money. read more

Great concept, its restaurant quality food at a more affordable price. You go up to the counter and order your food from an extensive menu and get a number for your table. Shortly after a server arrives with your food. I had the arugula salad( you can add chicken or seared tuna) which was lacking acidity in the dressing but they were more than happy to rectify that with a dressing more to my taste. I tried the tonino which was delicious. its like a flat bread, but it is called a piadina and its filled with seared tuna, arugula tomatoes,olive and white bean spread. The piadinas r made on their premisies with their own machine. The categories of food are as follows: Insalata, gourmet salads "Na Pizza with plain to gourmet toppings Pasta with gourmet and basic sauces Piadina ( Italian flat bread) with several varieties like grilled chicken, seared tuna, Calabrese sausages, prosciutto, portobello mushroom and goat Panini (sandwiches) from braised veal, steak, chcken to meat balls Sides are salads, seared broccolini( rapini),marinated olives, and tuscan fries seasoned with sea salt, truffle oil and shaved Grana Padano Cheese Ok Stop Salivating and Go eat here! read more
