David Rocco's Bar Aperitivo in Yorkville is a little Italian gem in the heart of Toronto. It’s the perfect spot to relax with a drink and enjoy some fantastic Italian bites. The menu is all about small plates, so you can easily spend the evening sampling different dishes. I’ve visited several times, and it’s always a treat. The Americano panini is a standout, with its crisp bread and flavorful salami. The arancini bites are delicious too, and the pickle slices with a sushi twist add a fun and unexpected touch. The outdoor seating is cozy and great for lingering over food and drinks with friends. Whether you're a local or just visiting, this place is a must-try for a taste of Italy in Toronto.

Really good sandwiches. Well executed with fresh ingredients. I enjoyed the bread so much that I actually asked if they sold that separately, which they do!!! I didn’t get any pictures of the gelato but that was also delicious! Very creamy and rich.

I went to David Rocco's restaurant with my husband for lunch and it was fantastic! We had lasagna, lamb chops, gelato, and drinks and they were all delicious. We found the drinks especially good. The place is small, tucked into the pretty Yorkville zone, and the atmosphere and service are welcoming and high quality. As a fan of David Rocco's cooking programs I was also surprised to see and meet David while we were there. I would definitely eat there again for a special occasion (pricing is on the higher side) or stop for a coffee or gelato!

This place is really cool. I stopped by with a co worker for a bite and ended up getting two sandwiches which were actually amazing!! The first one was the Toscana. Italian fennel salami truffle cream artichokes and oven roasted tomatoes /I highly recommend getting this sandwich the bread and ingredients were fresh My co worker had a mortadella that they call the Bologna. Mortadella, Stracatella, Oven roasted tomatoes and chopped pistachios. Very flavorful and refreshing a taste of Italy. The service was great and we were greeted by friendly staff who sat us down . The atmosphere was great at well.

I've been waiting a while to visit Bar Aperitivo and it didn't disappoint. The food was incredible and the drinks were perfectly made. Grab a seat at the bar by the window, where you can people watch in Yorkville while you enjoy your meal. I definitely had a great time and will be coming back!

Smashing IT! FYI: Just tried their amazing sandwiches! I ordered the Firenze! Once again always a pleasure to walk into this establishment and see all the happy smiling faces and to say hi to David! ************************************* FYI: I just tried there ICECREAM...It's AMAZING! ************************************ What can I say that hasn't been said already about David Rocco... he's the nicest person you'll ever meet. It was my first time at the restaurant. David was there. He makes you feel like you're at home. Now, that's a true authentic restaurant when the owner chats and greets his customers. The food and the drinks were great. The staff is amazing and friendly. If it wasn't so awkward, I would have hugged them all as I was leaving if I could. LOL I just love being in the company of nice people. Life's short, embrace the nice ones. If you haven't tried David Rocco Bar Aperitivo, I suggest you do. If you already have it, then I suggest you keep coming back for some more. Your taste buds and soul will thank you!
