Best pizza in Toronto! The 48-hour fermented dough, fresh ingredients, and real extra-virgin olive oil make every bite amazing. Chef Eduardo even made us a special truffled stracciatella, unbelievably light, fragrant, and full of flavor. And David was incredibly friendly and welcoming. Couldn’t recommend it more!

Beautiful spot with some of the most fresh tasting pizza. I tried the Bambino for my first visit and it was absolutely amazing. Fresh, light and delicious. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Thanks so much for welcoming me in and providing such great service ❤️

We like to thank Masih our Waiter, for his exceptional service, he is a gem, absolutely fantastic. His recommendations were great. He took care of us like we were family. The pizza chef made the most delicious pizza, chicken parm was so tasty and let me tell you the chocolate lava cake and Tiramisu are to die for, don’t forget the espresso ,rich and robust. We really enjoyed our food and had a great time. Thank you Masih you made our experience a great one, see you soon.

I wouldn't have written this if it was only a matter of differences in taste preference, it isn't fair for a non-Italian to judge what is authentic or not. I wrote this because there is a piece of plastic (looks like the rim from some sort of container) in my husband's pasta, unacceptable! The pizza was okay, but the two plain blobs of stuck together pasta were way overpriced even without the plastic. It was so bad that my husband went to another "authentic Italian restaurant" to get me a different pasta dish with meat (in the circle container). For everyone's reference, the prices are the same between these two restaurants, both pasta dishes are packed to go, but the photo comparison speaks for itself. I am not happy about the price and the quality of food from this takeout/delivery experience. Maybe dine-in would be better …

Good food, good service. The calamari & salad were both fresh & inviting. Gnocchi was pillowy, the cheese sauce was rich. Lasagna was good, the meat sauce was hearty & delicious; a bit more cheese would have made the dish even better. Good experience overall, will definitely be revisiting.

We in the area and we tried out this restaurant for the first time and ordered a large vegetarian pizza actually disappointing. The pizza was soggy and acidic like very small value for the money and was actually so disgusting. We could hardly even eat it. I would definitely not go back to this restaurant. And for the price I would if expected that at least more than one person could eat from this pizza, but it’s charged as well as a large pizza where it’s only the size of a small to medium.

We have tried this place 3 times now and 3 times I have been underwhelmed and especially at the obscene cost. I am not quick to provide a negative review but honestly this place does not meet expectations. If someone in your party orders a pizza and someone else orders something from the kitchen -- good luck having them arrive on time. The waiter will claim "pizza ovens are unpredictable" but seems weird to not have that timing down. The desserts are underwhelming too. Always seems to have a steady flow of people and seemingly good reviews but take it from me you're better off at something like Padella across the street - equally if not a touch more pricey but at least it tastes straight from Italy.

    Grazie C W, I'm sorry about your negative experiences and problems with the timing of the food. The product we sell is made express and by hand following the italian tradition and occasionally it can happen that we are not perfect in timing especially in the busiest hours. But I think the point of your review is something else. Grazie amico
