Toronto\u2019s Italian Renaissance: 5 Restaurants You Must Try in 2026<\/em><\/strong><\/h1>\n

By Richard De Sousa \u2014 Gold Plate Awards<\/em><\/p>\n

Toronto\u2019s culinary landscape has never been more alive \u2014 and when it comes to Italian dining, the city now rivals some of the world\u2019s top gastronomy capitals. From Michelin-starred innovation to beloved neighbourhood classics, here\u2019s a definitive guide to the best Italian restaurants in Toronto this year \u2014 open, thriving, and consistently excellent.<\/p>

\n

1. DaNico \u2013 A Michelin Star in Little Italy<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Address:<\/strong> 440 College Street, Toronto, ON M5T 1T3, Canada<\/p>\n

Perched in a beautifully restored former bank on College Street, DaNico<\/strong> has rapidly become one of Toronto\u2019s most talked-about fine-dining Italian experiences. With a Michelin star<\/em> to its name, this restaurant represents the apex of contemporary Italian cuisine fused with refined global techniques.<\/p>

What sets DaNico apart is its balance of creativity and tradition: silky Gragnano spaghettoni with local mushrooms and Italian black truffle<\/em> is a standout, the earthiness of the truffle laced with Parmigiano Reggiano that unfolds on the palate like a fine symphony. Equally memorable is the Branzino with vermouth and caviar<\/em> \u2014 the delicate sea bass tempered by herbaceous vermouth, crowned with pearls of salty caviar that burst with nuance.<\/p>\n

Dinner here is a journey. Service is polished yet warm, and the interior feels simultaneously grand and intimate \u2014 like dining among friends who happen to be culinary geniuses. I often tell readers that a meal at DaNico isn\u2019t just dinner \u2014 it\u2019s an epicurean pilgrimage.
When to go:<\/em> Best for dinner (Wed\u2013Sun evenings) and special occasions.<\/p>\n

\n

2. Don Alfonso 1890 \u2013 The Amalfi Coast Comes to Toronto<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Address:<\/strong> 1 Harbour Square, 38th Floor, Toronto, ON M5J 1A6, Canada<\/p>\n

If DaNico represents Italian innovation, then Don Alfonso 1890<\/strong> embodies Italian refinement. Located high atop the Westin Harbour Castle with sweeping views of Lake Ontario, this Michelin-starred restaurant brings the soul of the Amalfi Coast to Toronto in both flavour and ambience.<\/p>\n

The restaurant is recognized globally \u2014 not just locally \u2014 with multiple Michelin mentions and international accolades for its elegantly layered tasting menus. The ravioli stuffed with pheasant and black truffle<\/em> offers a plush, aromatic richness that lingers long after the last bite, while the paccheri with braised lamb, saffron rice cream, and Provologne fondue<\/em> is decadent yet balanced.<\/p>\n

During my visit, the plush interior and attentive pacing made each course feel like part of a grand, unfolding narrative \u2014 one of sun-soaked Italian summers and seaside breezes, even if you\u2019re planted firmly in Toronto\u2019s downtown. This is our city\u2019s preeminent destination for milestone celebrations and culinary excellence.
When to go:<\/em> Dinner (Wed\u2013Sun), especially at sunset for dramatic views.<\/p>\n

\n

3. Edna + Vita<\/span><\/span><\/span> \u2013 Modern Italian with Soul<\/strong><\/h2>\n
\n
\n
4.8<\/span>\u2022<\/span>Italian restaurant\u2022<\/span>Open<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Address:<\/strong> 77 Adelaide St W, Toronto, ON M5H 0E2, Canada<\/p>\n

Where the previous two picks are haute cuisine, Edna + Vita<\/strong> is intimate and joyful \u2014 a contemporary Italian restaurant that showcases how Italian food adapts beautifully to local ingredients and modern sensibilities. With an outstanding 4.8-star reputation from reviewers, this place consistently impresses.<\/p>\n

Standout dishes often include fresh pasta made with seasonal embellishments, beautifully seared seafood, and house-crafted desserts that balance sweetness with tactile complexity. The atmosphere is stylish yet relaxed \u2014 perfect for date night or a refined dinner with friends. The combination of thoughtful plating and bold flavour profiles keeps guests returning time and again.
When to go:<\/em> Lunch or dinner most evenings.<\/p>\n

\n

4. Giulietta<\/span><\/span><\/span> \u2013 Elevated Italian Classic<\/strong><\/h2>\n
\n
\n
4.6<\/span>\u2022<\/span>Italian restaurant\u2022<\/span>Closed<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Address:<\/strong> 972 College St, Toronto, ON M6H 1A5, Canada<\/p>\n

A Toronto favourite with consistently glowing reviews, Giulietta<\/strong> brings the charm of old-world Italian cooking into a chic, contemporary space on College Street. Known for its refined interpretations of classics \u2014 like tender osso buco and velvety crespelle \u2014 Giulietta delivers on both flavour and sophistication.<\/p>\n

The restaurant\u2019s culinary philosophy is rooted in respect for traditional techniques, but with creative flourishes that elevate every dish. Whether it\u2019s a velvety risotto studded with seasonal produce or a perfectly charred pizza with a delicate, blistered crust, Giulietta never disappoints.
When to go:<\/em> Dinner \u2014 reservations highly recommended.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\n

5. Piano Piano Restaurant<\/span><\/span><\/span> \u2013 Neighbourhood Italian Jewel<\/strong><\/h2>\n
\n
\n
4.3<\/span>\u2022<\/span>Italian restaurant\u2022<\/span>Open<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Address:<\/strong> 88 Harbord St, Toronto, ON M5S 1G5, Canada<\/p>\n

For a more classic, neighbourhood Italian experience with serious pedigree, Piano Piano<\/strong> remains a must-visit. With warm, old-school service and a menu that effortlessly blends rustic flavours with polished technique, this restaurant feels like Toronto\u2019s Italian heart and soul.<\/p>\n

Their pasta dishes \u2014 from rich rag\u00f9 to delicate sea-salted agnolotti \u2014 showcase pasta that lives and breathes its doughy essence. The wine list is thoughtful and well-curated, offering perfect pairings for every course. It\u2019s the kind of place where you feel welcomed the moment you walk in \u2014 not just as a guest, but as part of the family.<\/p>\n
