la capricciosa

We loved everything we ate here! The pork sandwich had fantastic flavor (super umami), and my partner approved the carbonara. We also got the four cheese pizza (if you don't like blue cheese, avoid) and I don't know what it is about the pizza crust, but it was addicting. I keep wanting to go back for the pizza alone. It reheated very well in the air fryer the next day, too! Our server was sweet, professional, and helped us choose between two options (carbonara won and was delicious). Atmosphere leaves a bit to be desired but I didn't go there to eat the decoration so I couldn't care less. If I'm ever hungry in the area again I'll definitely be going back.

I love a Mom & Pop for the homemade food & warmth of service - and will happily overlook a dated interior. But when the food isn't good and the server's skills are lacking, it just becomes a dud. I ordered the caesar salad and lasagna to share with my toddler, who loves her Nonna's cooking. The bread w/ olive oil & oregano wasn't great. The caesar was a 5/10, and the lasagna portion was small, salty, supplemented with a side of... pasta? And they forgot to remove the bay leaf. The server could not answer basic questions about the ingredients ("could you ask the kitchen, please?"), tried to tell me I should eat the bay leaf, and then hovered directly over me for the tip screen prompt. I wish I could reco this place, but it was very much a miss for me. (Ps- the hand in the photo belongs to a 1 year old)

A true mom and pop shop, hole in the wall vibe with great pasta and decent mains. Must try: any pasta , cocktails Can skip: the veal (too thin) This place stays true to Italy with very well done negronis and perfectly done pastas I do want to come back and try their pizzas. Prices are exceptionally reasonable given the location and quality.

We thoroughly enjoyed the cozy and warm atmosphere of the restaurant. Our choice, the large La Capricciosa special pizza, was visually impressive with its rich toppings on a thick, oven-baked crust. However, while it looked good, the taste was just average. Nonetheless, the staff were incredibly friendly, and the chef even took the time to greet us at our table, which added a personal touch to our experience. Overall, it was a pleasant dining experience.

This is one of my top favourite restaurant in Toronto.Their pizza was a highlight, with a perfect balance of crispiness and toppings. Pasta dishes were exquisite, especially the creamy carbonara. Tiramisu for dessert was a sweet finale. Attentive service made it a memorable Italian dining experience. Highly recommended!

My girlfriend and I found this place randomly and decided to try it out and was not disappointed! The service was great and the food, cooked amazingly! The food was not expensive at all and cooked with quality ingredients. The portion size was a lot bigger than other Italian restaurants so be ready to be full. We'll be coming back here in the near future!

We spent the day in Bloor was village and decided that we wanted to try out some Italian food in the area. We tried out this restaurant as it had really good reviews on Google. Appetizers we ordered; Bruschetta Potato crèche Arancino di riso The appetizers were all 5 stars Mains we ordered: Lasagna traditional Gnocchi Quattro formaggi The lasagna was a bit softer than I like. The gnocchi was sooooooo good. I’m craving it just thinking about it.

The food here is absolutely AMAZING!!!!! I had lamb shank with 4 cheese gnocchi that was incredible! The plates of my friends was equally amazing, super tasty, big portions, excellent service. This is by far the best Italian food I've had in Toronto and it's now my favorite Italian restaurant
