Neighbourhood gem

Good for special occasions

Trattoria Demi has been a local favorite for over two decades. Eating here is like going to a small Trattoria in Sicily. Order the Italian classic Linguine Marinara with Meatballs, and you will find this to be true. The sauce is home made daily and the meatballs have a loyal following! Every dish is made fresh to order so special dietary requests are easily accommodated. Gluten free, vegetarian and vegan options available.

At Trattoria Demi, patrons will always find an extensive wine collection to complement their dinner choices. Whether it is for a quick bite for lunch or a family gathering in the evening, this is the place to go for tasty Italian food.

The food was good, although not significantly above average. However the service was terrible. The woman who waited on us, pretty much scowled at us with every interaction. It was so weird that my date and I were laughing. We shared a salad and then each had our own pasta entrees. There was no cadence between the salad and the pastas, no coordination of removing the salad plates, and the table was small. When we ordered, we made it clear will be splitting/sharing our pasta dishes, but we were not given sharing plates, or even serving utensils. We had to ask 3 times for these, and it’s a small place. The restaurant was only 50% full at the time. Would not go back.

Overall it was good. Service was good, friendly waiter, pretty attentive. Food was ok. My friend and I both got the Asiago stuffed gnocchi(mine without chicken). His chicken was dry, but tolerable. The sauce was good but was a bit lukewarm. The gnocchi itself was good. The margharita pizza was pretty good but the crust needs some work.

We made a reservation and had to wait 30 minutes because we booked on open table two hour before the reservation and they said since it was books later, that we would have to wait. Why have available times on open table and then not be able to seat people within 15 minutes of their reservation time? Otherwise the food was fantastic and once we sat down our waiter was great.

The food here is fresh and excellent! The perfect place for a cold and rainy night. The staff was also cheerful and helpful without being overbearing. I would only say that it is very loud and in general looking and feeling like it could use a love and care, feeling tired and worn out.
