  • Charming
  • Good for groups
  • Neighbourhood gem
Our food is a reflection of the melting pot of cultures that has gentrified the Queen West neighbourhood in Toronto. The menu has been designed for guests to share plates, in an effort to create a convivial and social dining experience.

Our Wood-Fire Pizzas are a cross between Roma and Neapolitan styles; cooked in a wood-burning M.A.M pizza oven imported from Italy. It yields a crust that is thin but sturdy. Wood-fire capabilities are critical for our menu as the flavour imparted on the food is exceptional and unique.

Our cocktails are equally thought out as our food. Our bartenders serve up a no-nonsense cocktail program featuring fresh, seasonal ingredients that are all made in house.

    Pizza was too mushy crust. Not crunchy at all cheese topping was should I say a bit sweet? Rest was all good. Don't get the pizza if you don't want soggy crust.

    Always good food, friendly staff, and a relaxed atmosphere. Conveniently located if you're seeing a show at The Great Hall, with plenty of parking close by, and direct access to the Queen streetcar.

    The food was good enough but service on this particular Saturday evening was pretty bad. Didn’t get service for the first 20 minutes until we waved someone down, and then didn’t get drinks for at least another 20 until we asked about them. Still not sure who our server was supposed to be because nobody seemed to want to help us even though there seemed to be a ton of staff.

    This is probably my 3rd or 4th time dining here. The food, as usual, was great! We ordered wine, the spicy brussel sprouts, sourdough bread, margarita pizza, and the burger. All very good! The ambience was great! Our server was just ok. It took a good 20 minutes before she asked us for our order. And she wasn't very friendly when we asked a question about a dish or when we paid our bill.

    The food was phenomenal. We had the Bulgogi short ribs and the Natalina pizza. The ambiance was cool and it had great music. Overall a great experience for our date night.

    Great experience for an after-work dinner with my coworker at Good Son! Happened to be there for a $29 steak frites special they had and it was delicious (including the shoestring fries). I’m not even fully sure why they did, but they comp’ed one round of drinks—probably because they initially brought us a wrong one at first, but it was great customer service. I’ll be back!

    The service was great. Our waitress was nice and kind. She was attentive. The drinks we got were also okay. The place is a bit too loud to hear each other on 2 seatings tables and the chairs are too low for that table. But these aren’t the problem. You expect a good Italian pasta from an Italian restaurant. I got mushroom tagliatelle and it wasn’t cooked and it was sticking to each other. I should have been al dente but the pasta tasted like from a store bought. I could do that this way better at home and the price is $28 for this was definitely not worth it! I wish this cute little Italian restaurant would do better in the neighborhood
