The Italian Eatery

Our family tried your food for the first time this summer (2024). We grew up in the culture with Italian food in Toronto and have never come across a place with fresher or such superior quality food! We've already dined in more than a handful of times at your establishment and the place is always clean, fast service, friendly staff, comfortable dining experience and unbelievably delicious food every time! > > 5/5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ > > Thank you and keep up the great work.😊

This restaurant is a real favourite! We don't live in the area, but when we are passing through for any reason we make it a point to stop in for lunch or dinner, or to take out. Nice patio in summer time. Very authentic Italian grocery shopping area, deli, baked goods, highly recommend. Lisa

We came in on a Sunday afternoon - famished!! We both ordered the Veal Marsala as an entree and were not disappointed. The veal was tasty and flavourful. Amply paired with sautéed mushrooms and onions in a delicious sauce. Fresh veggies of cauliflower, carrots and broccoli were prepared perfectly - cooked but still with flavour. Our meal was rounded out with the addition of 2 Italian know rolls. It was served hot. The service was attentive and efficient. A great experience all around. We will be back!!

Hungry? Past lunchtime? Or…maybe it’s day’s end and you’d like to grab something Italian - AND wholesome for you, or the family. Get here. Yes, it’s in the south end, and yes, you’ve got to navigate either Bayview or Mapleview, and Park Place. Even so, it’s worth it! We stopped in mid-week, in the neither-lunch-nor-dinner hours.We were wanting to share a bite. Chose the Italian meatballs (4 large make up one order-enough for 2 each, and you won’t need more!) and the steamed vegetables. Could have easily gone for the amazing-looking pizza. Or the ready-made pasta dishes. Whatever you choose, it will be delicious; made from scratch and authentic Italian. You’ll browse in a clean open friendly space with helpful staff. There is a market side and there is an eatery. So if you’re inclined to stay, you can do so. This is good food, NOT fast food! I hope you will enjoy whatever you choose as much as we did! We will certainly be back. Sorry for the picture quality…we just dove in when we smelled the food. 🤣

Visited this beautiful eatery after work with a friend. The atmosphere and the food is wonderful! We shared penne with vodka sauce and a cheese pizza. It was delicious!! We also took out some croissants and bread and my home was very happy and they loved everything! I am looking forward to my next visit and will make sure it is sooner rather than later. Thank you!!

I'm really looking forward to going back. I had a fantastic panzo. Fresh, delicious, great customer service. The people next to me had sandwiches which I want to try. Everyone working was smiling and happy. Customers were pleasant.

This eatery was recommended to me by someone who knew I liked veal sandwiches and was a regular at California Kitchen. I decided to give them aa try. I was expecting a simply eatery but was surprised that it is also a mini Italian market with a good selection of items for the Italian loving palate. The sweets looked good as well and I'll be back to check them out and give them a review. My sandwich was served on a long rather than round bun. While it was good, it was not excellent. I felt like I was eating more bread than meat. The sandwich was a little light on the sauce and not as hot as I expected, especially when i had ordered an extra hot sandwich. Its priced at $10 which is lower than the $12 at California Kitchen. However, I think the latter sandwich is worth the extra $2. I would recommend giving them a try as my friend liked it enough to recommend them to me. I'll be back to taste some more of their offerings. This review and rating is for the veal sandwich only.
