- DDiogoToronto / Ontario •5 reviews5.0Dined 7 days agoWent for my birthday and the space has definitely got a renovation since my last visit in 2021. The food was equally as delicious, service had changed a bit (I do miss the old cutlery) but I understand with the demand and expansion since the WELL deserved Micheline recognition. The food was FABULOUS the octopus was a stand out texture perfectly cook the sala Verda had heat, zest, and herbaceous however, the star were the beans! DESSERT was my favourite course strawberries are my favourite fruits so confidently the gelato was right up my alley. I knew it was incredibly well done when my brother who notoriously dislikes strawberry “ice cream” of any sorts kept matching my spoon for spoon (will be back for the Torta). My only wish was to maybe talk about more with the Som and the employees. I know it’s hard to sometimes be able too in service and some guest just rather not be spoken to during their stay. I kept looking for an opening with everyone who touched our table didn’t work out. CJ was a wonderful server, paced our dishes and drinks, took care of my family wonderfully. Also loved that the table was communicated that it was “ours” until a specific time. It was a wonderfully birthday, thank you.More infoGiuliettaPrice: Very Expensive• Italian• Little Portugal / Dundas West•4.8
- BBrianToronto / Ontario •42 reviews5.0Dined on Feb 1, 2025First time visit and will return. Selected from the promotional Winterlicous menu. Ceviche was full of flavour with firm but not hard pieces of fish. Sopa was spot on with nice chili spice punch. Added Empanadas from the main menu. Excellent pastry with one being beef and the other cheese. Mains were a Peruvian style seafood stew and me guest had a perfectly prepared medium steak. Service was timely and not intrusive. Staff are knowledgeable in their recommendations.More infoQué Rico Tapas BarPrice: Moderate• Latin / Spanish• Little Italy / College St.•4.2
