Best Italian restaurant in Canada

D	David Dibula on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Great service. Our hosts were very friendly and overall pleasing to have. He offered suggestions, and was very patient as I came in to eat with a fairly large group. The food was good and appealing to the palette, but I do think you can get the same at a lesser price. Overall 4.5 out of 5 for the resto.
R	Rachel Ruffo on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The staff here were really great - friendly and very accommodating. Everyone enjoyed their meals but my favourite part was the raspberry white chocolate tart!
G	Gastro W. on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ And if you also like hearty Italian cooking, Paese has also got you covered – just fresh ingredients presented simply and without fuss. Their creamy buratta ($23) arrives on top of a bed of vibrant ripe tomatoes that make a great salad. The pool of olive oil is jazzed up a bit of pesto and is really all the flavouring the appetizer needs. When having meatballs as a starter, I want them nice and large. The size of tennis balls, the menu describes polpette di manzo ($16) as being made from ground beef, but it’s surprisingly delicate for beef. Sitting in a lovely tomato sauce, it pairs so nicely with the complimentary salty oily focaccia. I had doubts when I first laid eyes on the thick crust on the parmigiana ($22) pizza – did I make the wrong choice? The crust is deceiving as once I bit into it, it is surprisingly light and airy, and nicely toasted on the bottom. This main combines my love for eggplant parmigiana and pizza and Paese doesn’t skimp on eggplant or cheese. While they augment flavours with basil, chili, and oregano; I would have liked more salt to seep into the neutral eggplant and dough as the tomato sauce isn’t applied as liberally, rightfully so, on the pizza versus the traditional dish. Overall, Paese makes some good sauce – not too acidic and fresh tasting. Interestingly, their bolognese di tacchino ($25) incorporates turkey instead of the traditional beef, pork, and/or pancetta mixture, which makes it taste lighter. So even though it arrives as a huge plate, the men at our table were able to get through the entire dish. This would have been even better if there was some chili sauce thrown into the mix.
S	Sarah Persaud on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Paese is one of my favorite places , the food is consistent, the music is great and the cocktails are AMAZING! Not to mention, the service is spectacular, Derek is a fantastic server probably one of the best in Toronto. The vegan bolognese is the bomb dot com, I totally recommend!
M	Marissa C on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Came here for lunch on their patio and had a great experience. Reserved online so getting a table was easy. The patio was super cute albeit hot as there were no fans around. Our server was amazing. He was super courteous and replenished our water like a champ. It’s like he had level sensors on our cups and knew exactly when to fill our water. The food was tasty and I liked how they had a more affordable lunch menu. The only reason I gave this place 4 stars rather than 5 was because I wish they had a bit more menu options.
F	F Deb on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Nice restaurant! The mushroom calamari is surprisingly good. Ravioli is also amazing!
T	THE WOOD FIRED CHEF Patrick Pacella on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Everything on the menu.....top notch and sinfully delicious. Thank you for the great evening! My family sincerely enjoyed it. Service, quantity and quality of food perfect! Will be back again. Be sure to try the oyster mushroom fritti. Polentfries with sundried tomato ketchup. Pera pizza with gorgonzola, and spicy Maple syrup. Veal scallopini. Spaghettini with Gamberi. Gnocchi with pancetta, mushrooms, squash and mascarpone cream. Just a few of their creative and delicious dishes!
V	Valavan Manohararajah on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Had an awesome meal here on a quiet weeknight. We sample a number of appetizers including octopus, burata, and fried mushrooms. All were excellent. For mains we ordered a gnocchi, seafood pasta, calf liver, mushroom pizza, and a fish entree. Everyone loved their food. Finished off with a few desserts. The waiter was super friendly and attentive. He even got a special drink made for the kids. This was our first time here, but it will certainly not be the last. We left quiet satisfied with the service and the great food.
