    Joso' still the place to go. Paul and the staff are outstanding in their quality of service. Signature dishes Spaghettini with Black squid ink and Calamari and shrimp remain as good as ever. The dishes are shareable.

    It was a really nice place to dine, the food was amazing and the drinks very tasty. The atmosphere is friendly and we enjoyed our time. The only thing was that the place was quite busy and service can feel slightly slow at times.

    We always dine at Joso’s when we visit Toronto. The fish is outstanding, the service good (though it starts slowly), and the vibe energetic. The Rainbow salad was excellent, as was the spaghettini course that we had. The grilled calamari and mixed grill (clams, mussels, shrimp, in a white wine sauce with tomato) mains were outstanding. The restaurant is a delight and the staff is knowledgeable and helpful.

    Service was somewhat haphazard and a bit confusing. Would be good to explain that no server is dedicated to section or table. Food started to arrive before we had our wine. This was our first experience, was my girlfriend’s birthday and found the process a bit disappointing, servers when we did order were friendly and helpful.
