Best Restaurants with a Wood Oven in The Village

We have previously eaten at the Eataly venues in Las Vegas (Park MGM) and the Rome airport and found the one on Bloor Street in Yorkville to be at least as good as the others. The service is as good as we have come to expect, and the menu at La Pizza & La Pasta includes a reasonable selection of traditional Italian dishes at attractive prices.

Gusto 501 offers a chill vibe with dim lighting and a great music playlist that sets the mood perfectly. Our waitress was attentive and quick, making the dining experience seamless. The food was incredible—some of the best pizza I’ve ever had! The Carbonara and Margherita pizzas were outstanding, and the mushroom pasta was a table favorite. The espresso martini was spot-on, and desserts like the tiramisu and torta di mandorla were the perfect sweet finish. Highly recommend!

Our server Tyler was fantastic. He was there when we needed him and he had fantastic recommendations. He made our night a lot more fun.

We were seated immediately upon arrival. Our server was amazing. The food was good.

My starter was crispy fried buratta with an eggplant capanatta (and chorizo jam, which I didn't have because I'm vegetarian so they brought me tomato jam). The house made Gnocchi in Chevre Sauce, wilted spinach, moon dried tomatoes, leeks, and cacio e pepe butter, finished with toasted chevre was out of this world! My Italian friend said the gnocchi was like his mom made, he hadn't had it this good since she passed away. Excellent cocktails - very chic - and a superb wine list, warm, friendly service. To finish I had an espresso and a spoonful of my friends tiramisu. Every sip and bite was perfect from start to finish. I can't recommend this hidden gem enough!
