    I had a very disappointing experience at the Italian restaurant. The noise level was so high that conversation was difficult, and the food quality was unfortunately very poor. The fried appetizers and entrees lacked flavor, and the pasta, gnocchi, and ravioli were particularly underwhelming; the gnocchi seemed to be primarily garlic. The service was good, but the restaurant was uncomfortably cold, and the overall value was far below what we paid.

    Thank you for sharing your experience with us. We’re truly sorry to hear your visit didn’t meet your expectations, and we appreciate the chance to address your concerns. Over the past month, we’ve lowered our prices below the industry average to offer more value without compromising quality. However, we understand your meal didn’t meet your standards. We take this feedback seriously and will review it with our kitchen team. December is a lively time, and a full restaurant can mean higher noise levels. While we strive for a comfortable atmosphere and we apologize if the restaurant felt cold. If you’re willing to give us another chance, we’d love the opportunity to provide the experience we pride ourselves on. Please reach out to us at info@stelviotoronto.ca.

    We decided to try this restaurant, it was our first time here. The menu looked very good, we wanted something outside of the “typical Italian” menu and decided on this place due to their variety of pastas. I had the short rib ravioli and the ravioli came quite cold, and nothing to rave about it lacked flavour. My boyfriend had the risotto with short rib and we felt like the flavours were clashing and did not compliment each other. We had tiramisu for dessert and that was fantastic. It was mediocre food would not return. 
    StelvioResponded on December 16, 2024
    Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that the ravioli and risotto didn’t meet your expectations, as we strive to deliver dishes full of flavor and balance. We’re glad you enjoyed the tiramisu and will share your compliments with our pastry team. Your comments are invaluable, and we’ll use them to improve. We hope you’ll consider giving us another chance in the future. Best regards, Stelvio Toronto Management Team

    Delicious! Charming place! We only wish our server had shared that the Pork 'elephant ear' was as big as it was, and suggested that my wife and her niece could have split the entree, as opposed to each ordering the entree. We had far too much food. Other than that, all very nice.

    Unfortunately, the service was exceptionally slow. We sat at our table for 15 minutes without being approached by a server, despite the restaurant’s small size. It may have been a staffing issue, but ultimately, we decided to order only appetizers before leaving.
    StelvioResponded on December 16, 2024
    Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re truly sorry to hear about the delay in service during your visit. While it’s possible we were experiencing staffing challenges that evening, it’s no excuse for the wait you endured. We deeply regret that this impacted your experience and led you to leave early. Your comments highlight an area we need to improve, and we’ll ensure this is addressed with our team. We hope you’ll consider giving us another chance to provide the attentive service and experience you deserve. Best regards, Stelvio Toronto Management Team
