Best Restaurants for Outdoor Dining in Dovercourt Village

10/10 experience, the service was warm and welcoming and I came in as a solo diner and they were able to make smaller portions of different apps so I could try them! The wine was excellent, the food exceeded expectations—that pan con tomate on homemade sourdough had no business blowing me away like that. Get the cake!!!!!!!

All the food was excellent, heads up portions are massive, every starter/salad/side is sharable. We had the Caprese salad to start, which was incredible, if I had any critique of it, could have used a bit more balsamic glaze there were more than a few bites without any glaze on the tomatoes at all. As well, the tomatoes were so large that there wasn't even a 40/60 split of cheese to tomato which I think is the perfect ratio for this salad, who doesn't want cheese in every bite? The steaks were phenomenal, no question, can't go wrong. Almost so good, it is a wonder they don't put the main entrées in appetizer format so people would actually order them. The duck fat fried French fries were tasty, but I did find a lack seasoning to them. I found myself putting the steak salt into the ketchup just to add some seasoning to the fries due to how thick each fry is, not sure if that is intentional but just an observation. I would consider asking kitchen to salt the fries with any of the 3 salts before it gets to table so they can hold the seasoning better being fresh out of the fryer. The lobster Mac n cheese was excellent, period. Creme Brulee for dessert was delicious the berries were fresh and the cream was delicious. Service was top quality, only critique is that I found it took the service longer than 5 min to initially approach our table for initiating drink orders. Not a huge deal, but was sitting there wondering "wow, I'm surprised we haven't been seen by a server yet" And maybe a minute or two later he showed up, so do with that what you will. All in all, I would definitely go back for a special occasion. 4.5/5

Fresh ingredients done deliciously. I've never had a Negroni like theirs. We did the tasting menu and we can't wait to come back with more friends to try the rest of the menu.

Always dependable! Great pasta. Friendly service. And the afragato is Toronto’s best!

Our server was amazing in recommending options that accommodated my dietary restrictions which aren’t an easy feat in an Italian restaurant as I’m intolerant to tomatoes, peppers, gluten, cream and cheese. The bass crudo, gluten free pappardelle with mushrooms and chocolate sorbetto affogato was incredible! I’d definitely go back. The handmade gluten free pasta alone is worth a trip back. SO GOOD! My dining partner thoroughly enjoyed her meal as well.
