Toronto Italian & Mediterranean Restaurants

Donatello Restaurant

A cut above the crowd

Nestled in the heart of downtown Toronto, Donatello is the perfect place for a business lunch, a party, or a romantic dinner for two. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, with fresh flowers on every table, gentle music playing in the background, and a friendly, knowledgeable staff. The elegant décor is highlighted by the lovely furnishings and stunning marbleized walls.

La Bruschetta:

At home in the kitchen with the family and friends

by The Cooks.

The Cooks recently had the pleasure of dining at the well-established 'La Bruschetta'. Located on the south side of St. Clair Avenue West, this unassuming eatery presents outstanding quality and wholesome home cooked dishes. Owners Benito and Franca Piantoni along with their daughters, Silvia and Brenda collectively run a family operation not to be missed.

Pomegranate

House of Culinary Passion

By The Cooks Are Coming 2 Dinner

Nestled in the eastern area of The Beach is a fairly new interesting place to dine. Open since early this year, it is located at 2222 Queen Street East. Pomegranate —" House of Culinary Passion".

We were greeted by friendly staff and taken into a warm and casual atmosphere. The brightly decorated room seats approx. 26 patrons and has an open kitchen. With the windows opened to the sidewalk, passerbys stopped to chat at this neighborhood meeting place. There was a comfortable diner feel to the place, but the food was most definitely from a learned chef.

Ali, our server, was most informative as she explained how Reuben the owner / chef was going to prepare a tasting menu for us to sample.

Coco Lezzone

Mediterranean Magic in the Heart of Little Italy

Pure joy is the only way to describe Coco Lezzone in the heart of Little Italy, a totally terrific eatery that harmonizes prima cuisine, served with a backdrop of rich natural earth tones that sets the stage for an evening of culinary memories! Under the guidance of ex-Montrealer, European-born host, Steven Salari, this 30-something restauranteur is a rare breed of ‘ambitious integrity,’ who also lays claims to two other successful hotspots in the area. But it was Coco Lezzone where we spent several hours of raptured dining while enjoying marvellous company enhanced by the slick unobtrusive music in the background. Along the way I realized why Steven is such a perfectionist for he will not, I repeat, will not settle for second best; nor will any of his staff as they all insist on a hands-on approach.
