Golden Calamari Fritti and shish*to peppers. The kind of starter that disappears quickly!

The higher the pile, the better the first bite. Insalata di Cavolo Nero finished with Pecorino, toasted pine nuts, and maple Dijon dressing.

We just found your next hidden gem restaurant in Toronto! 🍝✨ Osteria Alba in Little Italy has an incredible new summer patio, an amazing happy hour, and some of the best Italian food we have ever tried.

From a masterclass in flavor with their incredibly fresh Carpaccio di Manzo to what might genuinely be the best Gnudi in Toronto—every single dish was a 10/10 🤌🤎 And do not even get me started on the Bistecca; perfectly tender and seasoned to perfection. 🥩

A huge shoutout to the GM, Ivana, for making the evening so special! She was so attentive and hands-on throughout our entire meal. It was also so nice to meet the co-owner and renowned chef, 𝓐𝓭𝓪𝓶 𝓟𝓮𝓻𝓮𝓲𝓻𝓪 🔪 , who was so fun to talk to—the hospitality here really makes it feel like an elevated date night.

If you are heading to Taste of Little Italy this weekend, this is a mandatory stop, but honestly, it’s a must-visit for date night all year round.

What people say

Italian restaurants are known for their delicious and authentic cuisine, and Vivoli Toronto on College Street is no exception. This revamped Toronto institution serves up classic Italian dishes that are homemade from scratch, ensuring that every bite is bursting with flavor.

One of the standout dishes at Vivoli Toronto is their "Italian Pillows" - stuffed spinach and ricotta ravioli in an amazing seasoned tomato sauce. It's a dish that will have you waking up on Dream Street! Another must-try dish is the Fettuccine Pescatore, a medley of shrimps, scallops, blistering cherry tomatoes in an aglio e olio sauce. It's a great light dish for the summer patio season!

Speaking of patios, Vivoli Toronto has a beautiful outdoor space where you can enjoy your meal while sipping on a glass of wine. And if you're looking for some great deals, be sure to check out their "APPY HOUR" every Monday to Friday from 5pm-7pm, where you can enjoy half-price appetizers and drink specials.

Whether you're stopping by for lunch or dinner, Vivoli Toronto has something for everyone. And with their recent announcement of being open 7 days a week, there's no excuse not to give them a try. So ciao bella and head over to Vivoli Toronto for an authentic Italian dining experience!
