Enoteca Sociale - Toronto

Had dinner with a friend on a Tuesday night at pm Place was very busy, and by was full. Good food, although limited choices for carnivores Food and wine were predominantly Northern Italian influenced Excellent pasta Carbanarro was delicious Refreshing Garden Salad...Gnocci was light and tasty in a Tomato Chili sauce with a light cheese topping Service was helpful, attentive and unobtrusive A bit noisy for the size of the crowd. Room was drafty Avoid the tables by the door as the installed heaters don't do a very good job of keeping you warm. I passed that section on the way to the washrooms and found it chilly. Good Italian.. Not Amazing Italian.

I wish the investment in the new design of the space would have gone to staff training and the menu.

I don't understand what everyone raves about the ugly, drafty room ? The truly mediocre food ? The inconsistent service ? Last night was my final try. Seriously guys, there are of great Italian restaurants in this city and this is not one...of them. Go up to Woodbridge or along St Clair. See what real Italian is all about.

We decided to try something different for an anniversary. Wish we hadn’t, but we learned something, this place is poor, we will never return, nor will we ever recommend it. I informed in advance it was a celebratory dinner. Nothing, no special drink, not even...a cupcake with a candle. Ordered bottle water to start, and of course there were flies everywhere, something you expect in a restaurant, and yes one was in the glass which water was poured. Guess what? We showed them the glass, no apology, replaced the glass and that was it. The water bottle was not removed from the bill. Ordered a salumi tray, take a look at the picture and you be the judge if it’s worth It’s a complete scam. Ordered arrancini, take a close look at the picture, no it’s not black because of the sauce, it was burned on the bottom, every single one! Ordered sea bass, deboned. I guess the kitchen doesn’t understand you debone prior to cooking, not after. It took minutes to eat it as you were busy removing scales out of your mouth. Ordered a shared ribeye, meaning one order for two people. When it arrived it was cold, and brought to one person without a plate for the second. Not sure how they even have customers. Buyer beware

My parents threw my fiancé and I an engagement dinner in Enoteca’s private room downstairs. The room itself is truly special beautiful ambience and perfect for groups of The room alone is worth it. The general manager, Kathryn, is absolutely lovely and created...a lovely menu for us. The food itself was wonderful, from the antipasti to the pastas and meat, and the dessert. The portions were generous even though the food was all delicious, we struggled to finish it all. We had a marvellous evening our server was wonderful, it was a night to remember. I highly recommend Enoteca for any small private events, or for dinner generally.
