In the heart of the Financial District, Modus Ristorante is Toronto's plush spot for refined Italian cuisine.

We host one of the Financial District's best patios with ample seating for all occasions. Modus might serve Italian food, but refreshingly, no one’s anxious to label it “rustic.” Modus’s menu takes recognizable Italian classics and re-creates them as fine-dining fares.

The restaurant offers an extensive 300-bottle wine program, with seasonally selected wine by the glass. A focus on Italian, Californian and South American wines provides excellent pairing for a fine dining experience.

Behind Modus is Sam Genkov, owner of the 23-year-old District favourite Bravi Ristorante.

    We were greeted with a warm welcome. Lovely table settings with beautiful linens added to the elegant decor. Menu options are very good with reasonable pricing. Our veal and salmon selections were beautifully styled and delicious. Service was prompt and attentive. All in all, a wonderful dining experience.

    Modus is a superb restaurant for a business luncheon. The service is excellent and the food is first rate. This is certainly a go to restaurant downtown.
