To begin with, you should know the difference between Northern and Southern Italian cooking before you go here. If you go to Stelvio simply because its an Italian restaurant, you might be disappointed. You won 't find a tomato anywhere near this place. My expectations were high, due to social media, but one has to wonder where these 5 star reviews come from. More importantly. always read how many reviews were written by the review you are reading. Also, I read several reviews about the pizza but they do not have that anymore and I find that that is a common direction for many fine Italian restaurants. My quick summary is that the ambiance and the staff are wonderful. The food, not so much. W...
We had a great dinner at Stelvio in Toronto. The deep fried meatball was delicious, and we also tried their specialties- the meat and cheese platter and the elephant ear pork cutlet, along with some other entrees. Both specialties were excellent and perfect for sharing with a group. The elephant ear pork cutlet was particularly impressive, as it was incredibly large. The only let down was the passatelli ascuitti, which was overly dry and had too much grated parmesan. It would have been better with a creamier sauce.
Second time dining here for a special occasion and was not disappointed. This time we got to try more of their unique to northern Italy dishes. Both time I agreed with the others that the markup on their wine is ridiculously high. We travel frequently to Europe, so I just won 't pay those prices and opted for a cocktail or two instead. If you want to try a different take on Italian food that isn 't the same old pasta and red sauce type fare, then this place is for you!
I would have liked to give this restaurant a 4.5 rating. The pasta was delicious, especially the gnocchi. The squash ravioli was also unique and flavorful. However, the salad was supposed to have pork in it, but there were only two small shavings in the entire bowl. Additionally, they were out of limoncello, which was disappointing, so we didn't try any drinks. Would I return? Yes. Are there better restaurants in Toronto? Definitely.
Was there last June for probably the fifth time (was there both at their current location and their previous location at Queen St W). Great food, great atmosphere, first class service. Can highly recommend the Risotto alla Milanese with the Ossobuco.
