I’ve been enjoying meals at Romano’s over the last 25 years. Lori and the front of house team are wonderful hosts, always welcoming and Chef Romano’s consistent use of fresh quality ingredients transform his dishes to another level. The overall guest dining experience easily qualifies this restaurant as a gem in our city to me.

The covered back patio appears to be in operation year round. Heated and cozy. Service was prompt and helpful. Cocktails imaginative and fun. Food was great. The salad awesome. The meatballs (3 served with an intensely flavoured red sauce) were remarkable- the best anywhere. The nduja and shrimp pasta was terrific. My companion had the Cacio e pepe. Instead of the expected toothsome al dente bucatini, the pasta was like wide lasagna noodles wrapped in the shape of a crown. It was ok but didn’t quite provide the same effect. All in though - great. We shall return.

Occhiolino is one of my favourite restaurants in Toronto now! The drinks are really well done and the food is top-tier (I’m super picky about Italian food, and this is proper Italian food!) The service is always top-notch: polite, friendly, fast. It’s a staple for me now, and I tell everyone they need to come here for proper pasta.

This was 3rd visit to DaNico, outstanding as ever. From service to food- exceptional, the tasting menu was just perfect, they even made a couple exceptions that were just delicious. Our server was friendly and very knowledgeable with all the courses and took the time to chat with us, he was awesome. Cannot recommend DaNico enough for a celebration dinner, just perfect.

This is one of our favorite Italian restaurants. The 4 of us had the chicken parmesan and shared a social sized Caesar salad. Our plates were empty when we were done as it was all devoured.
