Best Contemporary Italian Restaurants in Leslieville / Riverdale

Server Alex was attentive and knew we had to get out quickly for a show. Food was great

Chef Corona and his team provide an excellent dining experience with quality ingredients and imaginative recipes. My family celebrated a birthday and the food, service and ambience did not disappoint. In fact we all felt it was one is the best meals we’ve enjoyed in Toronto. The Michelin Star is well-earned. We had the a la carte dinner in which you will find ample variety to suit your tastes. From the mains, the wagyu was very good and the lobster, also amazing. If you have a larger party (we had a table for 6), you might get one of two chef’s table situated in front of the open kitchen. It was an extra treat to watch the Chef and team bring the dishes to life! We recommend and will surely revisit.

An amazing experience all around. Service was perfect (our server Andrea was, in particular, attentive and accommodating). The food on the tasting menu was delicious and the wine pairings were expertly selected. In particular, I would like to thank the staff for their kind, professional, and prompt service. It made our meal and celebration one we’ll never forget.

Excellent food and service one of my new favorite spots. Their special bodega pizza was perfect ! The lemon cheese cake is probably one of the best I've tasted if not the best Also their drinks are excellent Love it !

We experienced a wonderful three course prix fixe dinner for two offered through Winterlicious, but Amano regularly offers special 'experiences' and menus. Three courses and we could (almost) not finish the generous portions :D Plus, there are delicious options for gluten free or vegetarian customers. We thoroughly enjoyed a couple of signature cocktails to start: Gazzoza Smash and Torino 1786. The sauce for the branzini was to die for, and pairing it with rappini was genius. The porchetta was perfectly cooked, so tender, with fantastic flavour. Tiramisu is sublime - light and yet so flavourful. Pavlova is decadent and light at the same time-the blueberry sorbet is a taste bomb! Finishing with excellent decaf cappuccino was a treat and a deal at only $6 (take THAT Starbucks!). Overall a great dining experience in a classy, comfortable, quiet atmosphere.
