The kale salad with steak is absolutely great and so is Pappardelle ai Funghi - creamy yet not too heavy, with a lot of flavour. Came in before 5pm on a weekday, didn't wait long, great service!
A converted garage is the place for this tasty and fresh Italian joint. Start your journey with the Kale Salad and bruschetta and then move on to a pasta . Tried the Frutti de Mare. Just incredible.
I mean, just look at those truffles !???? Pricey but definitely worth the try.
Excellent place. Vibe, good service , location, interior, great food - all there. Tried pizza this time. Comparable to one at Pizzeria Libretto but still lacks something.
Truffle pasta is really good, but pricey . Chocolate dessert is very nourishing, you can order it to share with a partner/friend. Tiramisu cream was heavy for me, I think I can make it better :D
Gusto 101 dishes out some amazing brunch dishes ! I recommend starting with yummy mushroom bruschetta for appetizer . Continue with The Prosciutto e Rucola pizza and end with a strawberry panna cotta !
The house wine is surprisingly so good! The rooftop patio is really great - perfect for dates or spending time with the girls. Tasteful decor and good atmosphere.
Great vibrant spot, friendly staff , outstanding food quality and preparation. A place you will want to keep coming back too and don't overlook the second floor patio with the retractable roof!
The burger and the mushroom and truffle cream pasta were absolutely unreal. The place has a great vibe, really nice servers. Didn’t get a chance to try the pizza but it looked great too
One of Toronto’s premier Italian spots . The mafalde ai funghi (truffle pasta ) is the standout, but the cavoletti di Bruxelles (Brussels sprouts ) as a side order is a must for me.
Gusto 101 is a great spot for a more modern take on signature Italian dishes . Some excellent imported wines selected by their sommelier/owner. Good price points for the more frugal or frivolous.
Great spot for casual Italian food . Lots of outdoor space in the summer (the whole roof opens up). Great cocktails as well .
PAPPARDELLE AI FUNGHI . Wow. I drool thinking about it. Perfectly cooked pasta ... so much flavour... goes great with their house wine . Other things can be hit or miss, but this is always perfection.
Rigatoni , kale salad and arancini are to die for. I couldn't help but close my eyes after every bite to savour it. This place is good... Dare I say better than moms
Fave: Da Dee pizza (sweet potatoes , lacinate kale , local fior di latte , caramelized spanish onions , pecorino , rosemary ) and Salmon (fava beans , escarole , pachino tomatoes , salsa verde )
Great decor/atmosphere and service. (Getting a seat upstairs is a plus). I had the Carpaccio and Moroccan Chicken . Both were delicious. Definitely going back.
Love the vibe on the fab rooftop patio . More intimate inside. The staff are adorable (minus the guy in the Yankees cap...boooo). Order the kale salad . Have an espresso just for the cute cup!
The food menu could be bigger — relative to its drinks. If you're going for some grub, get the mushroom pasta .
The Pasta and Pizza here is sooo good, but you have to try the Kale Caesar Salad . Try to book reservations here as they are usually full.

The carpaccio & polipo (char grilled octopus ) were fantastic. Their egg noodles were also phenomenal - had the Pappardelle ai Funghi . They make a great negroni too - but drink service was slow.
Kale salad and pumpkin agnolotti were excellent. Espresso to top it off.
Food has been good but the bar and patio area are even better. Great place to hang and check out the king west scene. Lovely private room downstairs for dining.
Get the mushroom pasta (mafalde ai funghi ). The truffle cream sauce is to die for.
Great for groups ! Enjoy the upstairs or downstairs. Either way, the food and cocktails are next level good.
Amazing Italian cuisine with gorgeous rooftop ! Pasta can be a bit too salty, so just ask for less.
Nice dinner spot in Toronto. Quite a bit of denim on denim by the staff ...
I had the Prosciutto Pizza and it was amazing! I definitely want to eat here again next time I'm in Toronto!
Best kale salad I've ever had. Pair it with a flatiron steak and you're golden.
If you are not sure about the weather, use the roof top terasse. Good breeze out there.
Truffle funghi is what you want if you're a vegetarian . If your pasta is not hot enough, switch it. Wait lines are long so go early or go home.
The Carpaccio is delish, the classic tomato salad very good, Margharita pizza was very good. Rooftop patio a warm weather must :)
Excellent service even during busy times. I had the ink pasta - 7 out of 10. Kale salad is popular and famous, apparently.
I love the vibe at this place. Great patio and delicious food. Can't go wrong!
The seafood spaghetti was the best I've ever had. The server was totally on point w suggestions as well .
We made the reservation for the patio but they said it was full upon our arrival. Service is slow at times. Pizza and house wine is good
Incredible Fettucine with the mushroom pasta . It used to be good. Now it's better. TRUFFLE PASTE!
Kale salad with the currants and lemon vinaigrette - ahmazing. Great service and atmosphere.
lovely place and stunning food. I got the pumpkin agnolotti . ????????
The Pannacotta is spec-ta-cu-lar. You should also try the Mafalda al funghi
Sunday nite lasagna for the win! Also their in-house wine is delish - $1 per oz only too!
Everything was great but I prefer Nervosa, the sister restaurant
Everything is good here. Great open air rooftop patio too.
The mushroom Pasta is amazing. Had a meaningful loving relationship with my pasta ????
Get the Avocado Lemonade . It's got an unique flavor with a kick. "My friend" swears by it as the ultimate hangover cure .
The amazing pasta with sea and marguerita pizza
Arancini , kale caesar salad and the pumpkin agnolotti are all amazing!
Mushroom pasta and kale salad with flat iron steak .
the mushroom pasta is amazing! but super heavy as well :(
Great service, atmosphere, pizza and kale salad was amazing
The food itself (pizza, fish) was just ok, but the rooftop patio is great. There is actually a private rooftop patio for 2, which is beyond awesome. Ask for it! Great date spot. Great service too. - Ian Leung
ALL of their apps are delicious, especially the Buratta& Arancini (rice balls). Don't forget to save some room for dessert though! Tiramisu & Nutella - Nadia IssaBella
Really great pastas with a lot of flavor! Heads up - if you get the lemon spaghetti - it will be very lemony! - Cathy Lee
A hidden spot with a great patio. Good place to escape the Queen St and King St crowd, and re-energize. They serve a really good Americano too! - Peter Parker
The duck poutine is pretty amazing. It's no Lobster poutine from Bimark... but it's up there. - Sue Holland
Great ambiance with communal seating so you can mingle with other guests. Good selection of beers and sausages. Good for celebrating with a group - Meenah
