Agio - Toronto

While walking along St. Clair West, we came across this restaurant. Initially, we were hesitant because the exterior and interior appeared dated, and the dining area was not very crowded. However, we decided to give it a try and we were pleasantly surprised. The pasta was delicious and tasted like it was freshly made. We were also treated to complimentary bread and a refreshing tomato salad. The chef clearly has experience cooking Italian cuisine from their time in Europe, and they were very friendly.

The chef is a master. I thoroughly enjoyed his creations and the atmosphere in the restaurant which I had to myself on a Monday afternoon. I left very happy and the chef totally made my day better.Edit: Wow I didn't realize the photos from this review would have over 1000 views in a month!! Just validates my review and how good the chef is. To be totally clear, in my most popular photo, I ate the first piece of zucchini and pumpkin puree with that delicious sauce BEFORE I took the photo. Hahahaha it just looked too enticing. What an experience and I feel so blessed to have experienced it. Be good to everyone and the chef will do the same for you! Thank you again!!!!!!

Absolutely delicious spaghetti Bolognese. The meal starts with fresh bread and oil, followed by a taste cleanser, and wow what a great main meal. I recommend this place to those visiting. Clean bathrooms, amazing service, and an atmosphere to die for.Vegetarian options: Plenty of vegetarian optionsWheelchair accessibility: The place is NOT wheelchair accessibleDietary restrictions: The waiter asked about dietary allergies, very nice.

Great owner, made carbonara off the menu.Creme brule is really good!

This restaurant makes me feel like I am dining in a trattoria in Italy. The chef's food is incredibly authentic and unique. The penne with shrimp arrabiata and carbonara are both absolutely amazing! I highly recommend trying the appetizer, the fried cauliflower with pesto and mayo sauce. They are a perfect match!
