Reviews of Il Fresco Restaurant (Restaurant)

Omkar Naik

Great local restaurant! Had a family birthday party here and everyone loved the food, the attentive service and relaxed atmosphere. We couldn’t have been happier with the experience.

Nadia Drozhzhina

We has Veal Parmigiano, Linguine Buongusto and Carnivore Pizza. The food was all fresh and tasty, the server was incredibly friendly. He even gave us some tips on sites to visit! Highly recommend!

Paul Rozario

Best mussels in Toronto Fresh ingredients pop in your mouth Generous portion

Hilberto Mendes

Just had breakfast here for the first time and I must say this place has amazing quality for its pricing. Good service and relaxed atmosphere. Also, Lorraine our waitress was super friendly. Would go here again for sure.

Shandy Mahendran

We have been there twice. Once for dinner and it was awesome! the food was delicious and the service was great. We went back last week for a mother's day brunch, the food was ok just regular breakfast food, don't know what I was expecting lol. The service was just ok, but that lady was pretty much handling the whole restaurant by herself and there were quite a few patrons. So I'll give her a pass :) We'll be back, but for dinner only.

Tony D

Very good place to have a dinner. The prices are moderate and the food is excellent, delicious and tasty. Mike is one of the best servers I met through my entire experience. He provided perfect service, was very smooth and polite. Recommend this place for everyone who likes Italian cuisine.

Ashley Wells

Came here on a Wednesday night with family for my sisters birthday, through a coworkers recommendation. Had the 3 course meal, mussels/carnivore pizza/crepe caramel. Definitely can say for the price point portions where amazing! The food tasted great and the service was phenomenal. I wish I got the waiters name but he was awesome. So attentive and polite. Very enthusiastic and engaging. All around had a great time here. Definitely see myself coming back here for other occasions.

Kayla Mouzos

Great service with Good Food. I thought the spaghetti was okay but the pizza was amazing. I think it was called Milo (chicken, goat cheese, onions etc). I would go back for the pizza. This is a pretty strong statement t but I might go as far to say it's the best pizza in the scarborough area. Look forward to going back with family and friends.

Anetes Anton

Best restaurant I’ve ever been to by far. Not many Italian restaurants in Scarborough and this one never disappoints. Kitchen and waitresses are kind, friendly, and welcoming every time I come here. Absolutely my go to when I’m craving quality, fresh ingredient pizza and pasta. The linguini buongusto and the penne porcini are absolutely delicious (I’m a white sauce pasta guy so these are my personal favourites) trust me when I say you really can’t go wrong with anything on the menu cause everything is amazing. highly recommend finishing off with the tiramisu for dessert, super moist and packed with flavour. Definitely coming back again when they open dine in as well! Thanks il fresco!

Scott Christian

The Italian food was excellent and even the dessert is to die for . We will definitely will be back . A nice hidden gem for Italian food in Scarbourgh . You won’t be sorry you came here .

John Dayao

This was such an amazing experience! I planned a little private party here for my dad's 60th celebration and I am so glad I did. From the moment I called with my ideas and straight through to the last moments of cleaning up after the event I was treated like family. The cook was so friendly and accommodating. The price was very affordable! The service was unmatched. Shout to Abby for making sure everyone was ok and taken care of. They are amazing. I can't wait to go back:)

Tiffany D

From out-of-town. Picked this restaurant based on the reviews. Disappointed. Surprised at the location but not a big deal. The waitress was absolutely lovely. She went above and beyond to make guests happy. The food. The food took a long time. The portions were huge. The quality was disappointing. Chicken was dry. Sauce was watery. My friend's food was starchy and bland. These stars are for the waitress only. Busy place (take-out orders) so I assume it was just a bad evening.

myszka11o

The service was extremely polite and pleasant, the atmosphere very cozy and the food just marvelous! I recommend this place to whoever likes to enjoy a very good meal in a nice place. The bruschetta was spectacular, with fresh tomatoes and more... The pizza is handmade from start to finish, and it has a marvelous thin crusty dough and tasty toppings. The pasta is delicious, and this dish combination of flavours also make it a very good choice. All dishes are very well served for a person, like you could expect from any good Italian option ;-)

Samantha Best

Service is great, the wine selection is lovely. We only stayed for apps, which were very tasty. The muscles in white sauce were delicious, and the antipasto board was lovely. Would definitely go back for lunch if in the area.

Hannah Lepiten

Ordered food for take out! It was amazing! Pizza was delish..and will order it again. Pasta dish was enough to feed 3 people...but more importanly delicious as well!

Mary/Jim HOME

We had a tremendous experience a couple nights ago. Our server, Sarah, was extremely friendly. She gave us good suggestions, answered our questions politely and conversed well with us. Will 100% recommend this place to everyone!

Tiffany Geronimo

Ordered from this place a few times on Skip and it was decent. Tried to support restaurant directly by calling them for pickup and the woman seemed very confused. Pasta dishes on Skip The Dishes offer a bunch of free toppings, and when I asked her about adding them to my pickup order she said "I'm not sure if it costs extra" as if she didn't know what I was talking about. Why would it cost extra when it's free on your delivery partners?? She did nothing to try to help the situation, so instead, I'm going to order next door from Vi Pei Bistro, who doesn't have issues like that.

Felix Arifin

This is one of the best Italian restaurants in Scarborough. My go to are any of the stone oven pizzas. Pasta is also really good. Portions are huge and food is always flavorful and authentic. And you must finish every meal with their tiramisu, it is to die for.

John-Allan Bray

I can't say how good the food and dessert was!! One of the best Italian restaurants in Toronto

Joti Takhar

Wonderful little gem of a restaurant! Food is excellent and atmosphere is casual and relaxed! We had to double check the wine list to ensure we were reading it correctly as the prices seemed quite a bit lower than what you expect elsewhere. Overall, we were very pleasantly surprised at the excellent quality, portion sizes and attentive service...this restaurant does it all really well!! Will be returning for sure.

Bushra Shahrin

This is one of our favourite places to eat! So glad they’re finally open for takeout!! We’ve missed eating here for the past couple of months. I don’t review places usually but the management and staff are always so accommodating, and I can’t say enough nice things about them. When it comes to the food, this place is a gem! We’ve eaten all over the city and this has to be one of the best restaurants for taste, quality, quantity, price and service! We’ve tried quite a lot of things on the menu, and have never been disappointed. We’ve brought our families and many friends here and they all love it and some of them travel ways away from their neighbourhoods just to eat here. Our favourites are the pesto penne, apple chicken and definitely a must try: funnel cake! We’re excited to support this local neighbourhood restaurant once again and hope they stay open for many years to come!

John Hetherington

Tasty pizza, generous salad and pasta but music too loud and speakers are cheap producing an annoying tinny sound. Would have preferred whole leaf basil on my margarita pizza rather than small shredded bits scattered about.

Electric Drum World

Tried this place on a whim. So glad we did! Great service and we loved our food. My wife had the special - lobster linguine, and I had the veal parm. Both were great, especially considering the reasonable price point. We will be back!

Linh Hoang

Talking about strictly quality of the food, ordered 2 calzone's well done and they were the best we've had. Toppings were perfectly portioned, not greasy at all virtually a couple drips which is not the case with a dish like this and the flavour and freshness was outstanding. Was a bit pricey as each topping is an additional $2 but whatever if you want good food it's worth it.

Cheryl Cornette

Penne Porcini. Various mushrooms in a truffle sauce. This was so good, I can't even explain it. The pasta cooked just right. Al dente. The truffle sauce was the best part. My husband got the pizza - it was ok. The prices are good. Good portion. For dessert we got the tiramisu (LOVED) and the funnel cake with ice cream (which i found a little dry). Overall the food was great. Definitely would go back.

Kay Sum Chan

A hidden gem! I thoroughly enjoyed my meal at the wonderful, unostentatious Il Fresco Italian restaurant on Kingston Rd, Scarborough! I was pleasantly surprised by the very reasonable prices for items such as steak and seafood. I was visiting my brother and we decided to try something new. So glad we chose this restaurant based on the well-deserved high scores on Google. The restaurant was clean, roomy and welcoming. I loved the booths: so comfortable and spacious. And the food: fresh, well prepared and delicious! We decided to go for a Prix Fixe meal: amazing mussels in tomato sauce for starters, medium rare steak (excellent!) with mashed potatoes and fresh grilled vegetables on the side, and for dessert: RASPBERRY TARTUFO. my brother mopped up the tomato sauce from the mussels with warm wedges of sourdough(?) bread. I ended up using my spoon because I didn't want to leave a single drop of that delicious sauce behind! The food is EXCELLENT at Il Fresco: don't be fooled by the low-key, uncluttered decor: this place is a treasure! You can be sure we will be dining at Il Fresco again next time I head out that way! Top stars for excellent, friendly service! (And thanks again for the complimentary mimosa on my milestone birthday!!! Such a lovely, friendly server: she was so attentive! Do yourself a favour and experience this fine dining experience in a low key setting: we were so glad we did!

David Huang

Went with my parents as they wanted something different. Nice place and friendly staff. Kind of dark though as we went during lunch. Wish it was brighter. Staff brought extra plates as we were sharing our meal. Food was great. Ordered the seafood risotto, daily special and chicken parm. My dad didnt enjoy as much as me it wasnt to his taste. But I can tell that food was cooked well and hit everything right. I would of appreciate olive oil instead of butter though with my bread.

Eric McCourt

Very authentic Italian foods. The chefs are very skilled and passionate about what they do, and you definitely taste that in the food. Definitely a must try restaurant. Amazing portions, fantastic service, and overall a great addition to the Cliffcrest neighbourhood.

rosaria imbornone

Loved their stone fired pizza supper thin, crispy and tasty. Would have liked some ambiance, some music and lighting or candles on the tables. Will go again????

Morvarid Sadinejad

Great customer service, especially the waitress who was very friendly and attentive! The foods were very authentic, have great flavors and good portion. The restaurant even gave us a free dessert for our 24th wedding anniversary dinner!

Tanson Thomas

Missing one star for the rather very slow service on a not-so-busy Friday night, had the 3-course dinner (mussels, lamb, steak, tiramisu and crepes) and it was very good!! Despite the okay service, would still definitely come back!

doreen fernandez

Great place for Italian food! The chicken parmigiana was very juicy and filling, and the Bolognese was flavourful. Their tiramisu was also very good! Shout outs to Jack for being a lovely waiter!

Yal Market

I was a bit sceptical, as alot of places I have gone to have been skimpy and overpriced.. but il fresco is absolutely delicious. I ordered the bruschetta appetizer for us to share, penne pesto dinner for myself and my boyfriend ordered the chicken parmigiana entree and we are both happy to give a 10/10 review. The waitstaff was welcoming and polite, as well as the food being well portioned, delicious, and arrived in a timely manner. 100% recommend!

Neil Sunga

Food and service was amazing! Portions were huge and delicious. Would definitely recommend if you’re looking for quality pasta and pizza in the Scarborough area.

WhatThe Dave

Wonderful Italian food with reasonable price. The Prix Fixe menu offers great value with a large selections of entrees to choose from. The portions of the appetizer, entree and dessert are also huge. Highly recommend!

Big Yeff

Beautiful quality of food, the chef's really know how to make a proper risotto and their pizzas are on point. The Asian girl is simply the absolute best! 10 out of 10 would dine here again ????

Nishan Arumugam

For the price of the food, service and quality, I can't complain. The set menu for $28.00 is really well priced, wish the chicken was a touch bigger portion, but the Caesar salad and penne pasta had good amounts. The dessert, which we picked was Tiramisu, good size portion, taste as dead on. I really wish they had fountain pop, but instead they charge you $2.25 for a can of pop which is absolutely unnecessary. It should be $1.00 at most. $24.00 is a good amount of profit considering a case goes for $6.99 at Costco. I would have given them a 5 ???? but I wasn't to happy regarding the pop.

R Gorel

BEWARE DINERS To the reply below: your reply is disappointing because you can't handle criticism when it comes to it. There was clearly other diners around when I was here eating your so-called food. For a restaurant to say they are rejecting people to dine in is very unbelievable to say nonetheless. Terrible, straight up service and knowledge is lacking. I came in after a long time of being at home from COVID to eat at this restaurant that I used to always love to eat at with my girlfriend. Now first things first they don't follow protocols like checking vaccine shots proof or people's IDs, just simply brushing it off. Secondly is that the food that I ate tasted like it was made on the floor. And lastly, based on my last visit here, I know this is new management because in my past experiences here I've never had something like this. Sadly so many good places shut down, yet this is still here but not how it used to be.

Dianne Simmons

One of the worst restaurants in Scarborough (Update) They had made me wait for 30 mins and spoke rudely to me when I asked what happened to the order. Then they call me and abuse me, threatening me to come to the restaurant so that they can beat me up just because I gave 1 star. Hope the restaurant shuts down Wow such great service they provide.

Dennis L

We had a great experience here! Great food and a wonderful atmosphere. The owner and staff are so friendly and make you feel like you’re at home. Would definitely recommend this restaurant!

Nandi Panday

The restaurant is In a small plaza and doesn't look much but once inside the staff were attentive, the food was amazing and we would definitely go back. The four of us had different dishes but most of us started with a pea and spinach soup it was lovely. We the had a variety of main courses one had a grilled Seafood dish , I had spaghetti bolognese, one had the apple chicken dish and the last dish was a linguine con gamberi alm dishes were left clean! We were too stuffed for dessert but the coffee was enjoyable

Nayanashri T.A.

The tiramisu was to die for and the pizza was delicious. The risotto was a tad too salty for my liking, but the mussels were light and very lovely.

Jennifer Yeung

Food has always been perfect. I recommend the bruschetta and one of the many stone baked pizza's. The older gentleman waiter is very friendly and good at remembering faces. He is funny, personable and never makes a mistake. The oriental female waiter is very excellent as well, she is smart, fast, and never makes a mistake. The chefs are very nice too, and receive compliments often !! All in all, the atmosphere is amazing and definitely deserves a 5 star rating

Hugh Hasan

The resturant was clean and the servers were extremely friendly and helpful. The food was amazing! The presentation was beautiful and the taste did not disappoint. Superbly delicious! The prices are very reasonable and the portions were great! We had Chicken Parmesan and Salmon with Grilled Vegetables. Definitely going back!! Looking forward to enjoying the dessert we were to full to have!!

Theeban Arulanantham

Great food, great service! Nice cozy restaurant. The portions are generous and it's delicious. We tried the risotto and the pesto penne. Very accommodating of vegetarians as they allowed substitutions. Definitely recommend

Kirk Lucas

Friendly service! Very attentive. My girlfriend and I really enjoyed our meals. Pretty big portions of linguini and risotto. Calm atmosphere. Definitely going there again. Thinking of trying the pizza next time....

Best Italian restaurant in Toronto first time i finished all my food in a restaurant ????

Alireza Bank

Old decoration and furniture. The food was not so good. I asked for a well done steak and I got a well burned one! Have some paper towels with you since there is none in washroom :) The 3 stars are just because of their kind waiter and their fair price.

Nancy Tuccitto

It's a seemingly simple restaurant in a place where you wouldn't expect great quality but I was convinced due to so many positive reviews and it wasnt disappointing at all! I ordered from a fixed 3 course menu and ended up taking some take out. Portions are big and affordable, while they don't loose on their quality Pizza as main was a great choice too! I loved it. Service was nice and able to accommodate my order when asked to have a mild dish instead of spicy like it said on the menu All in all, will be coming back to try other dishes here!

Felipe M. C. Conti

This place is definitely quantity over quality. My first dish steamed mussels in a spicy tomato sauce was promising but my main, a seafood risotto was over cooked and blan. My wife had to send back her steak as it was well done and she asked for medium. On the plus side the service was nice and the had no problem providing my wife with a replacement steak with hassle. Price was good but in this case you get what you pay for.

Holly Morin

My family and I visited the restaurant as we were looking for something close to home. We decided to try it out after reading the reviews. The store is small but newer looking. I must admit it needs a little more deco to make it stand out. The food was excellent all around. We had a Cesar a pizza the seafood appetizer and pasta. The portions were enormous. The quality all around was really good. Usually when we go to a restaurant there is one item that someone doesn't like. But at this place everything was good. The lady that was serving us was so nice and attentive but didn't overdo it. I would definitely come back. Maybe order less good next time because of the size of the portions. They were definitely not cheap about it. All around 5 Stars

Crystal C

Had the $28 set menu and I was super impressed with the quality and quantity of food we got for the price. For appetizer, I ordered the salad with goat cheese and crushed almonds. For entree, I got the 10 oz steak with veggies and mashed potatoes. And for dessert, I got the creme brulee. All of these dishes tasted really good, and the portions were humongous. The service was fast and the place was clean. Would definitely recommend!

Adhish Roy

Delicious authentic Italian cuisine! We loved the Caesar salad, carnivoro pizza, and fusilli rose. Our new favourite Italian restaurant. Definitely will eat here again.

Susan Libanio

Our server was very professional even tho being over-worked. The food has always been good here, but the atmosphere is often "empty". I noticed the manager wearing his mask below his nose and or on his chin. The cook never had a mask on. So some attention to detail and safety is warranted.

MK G

Absolutely amazing food and friendly staff! Great Italian place in Scarborough would highly recommend! Taste good and is affordable!

Nate S

Came here last week. Great service, super friendly wait staff following all covid protocols. Prices extremely reasonable for the set menu. Dessert was so delicious. Only thing is the pizza didn't taste authentic (Italian), it was still tasty though, just different. Overall would recommend for the good food and high quality service.

S Sayliss

First time here, came for my Dad's Birthday. Great food, great service. Salads and pasta impressed. My only suggestion is to serve butter in a small dish vs the throwaway packs, yes I'm reaching here for anything negative.

Marcos Lopez

We went there earlier this week and were very impressed. Great service, food was awesome including the pizza, portions were generous and price was amazing - $122 for six people. I agree with the other reviewers this is a welcome addition to the neighbourhood. Will be back often.

James Wilkins

It's like old school cooking I grew up with. Service was great and our cocktails were yummy. Take out is busy so for me that's a great sign. Comfort food.

Saba Mirza

Been invited here twice for different occasions. Place is not asthetically pleasing to the eye to start with. Mells like a wet mop both times I've been in there. Super gross! Wait staff are very forgetful. I have to keep asking for things like high chairs, the coffee I ordered like half an hour ago, cream and milk for my coffee, spoons for my kids ice creams and extra paper napkins. The napkins are thin and useless. When I eat out at a restaurant I like to drape a big cloth napkin over my lap but you can't do it here. Food was ok. Not good or bad.

Ross Tam

I am very impressed with the quality of food and value. My husband and I both ordered the three course dinner option yesterday. The mussels were delicious and the portion was very substantial. The soup of the day (shrimp bisque) was also very tasty and fresh. I ordered the seafood risotto as my entree and was not disappointed. Cooked well and there was a large portion of seafood. My husband ordered the veal chop; it was plated nicely and seasoned well. Dessert was also very good and there was a good selection. I would highly recommend Il Fresco and am disappointed I didn't check them out sooner. Can't wait to go back!

Joan O'Hanlon

This is a great hole in the wall Italian restaurant in the east end. My wife and I checked this place out for the first time today. We had the fixed price menu and really enjoyed our food. They server fresh made in house bread that tastes like it's got good substance and quality to it, they served a really nice garden salad. I had the Ceasar salad which was ok but it came loaded with powdered parm and I would have liked to see sliced Parm. I could be wrong but I thought that's what the menu said. Anyways, we both ordered the linguini and it was absolutely delicious! Very hot, the chicken was extremely tender and moist, the shrimp were plentiful and large and done very well. The truffle oil based sauce was delicious. I had the home made tiramisu which tasted very mom-made and was a treat. We also had the crepe and that was enjoyable. The ice cream had a different texture to it but it was nice nonetheless. Our server Mike was friendly and personable, kept our water glasses topped up, and helped make our experience. He did a really good job. The place is very casual and has a very comfortable and homey feel to it. Will be back again to try more things on their a la carte menu in future. Took one star off for the Ceasar salad, the dressing was very sharp and without the legit shaved parm to cut that strong garlicky sting, the taste was a bit too strong for my liking (doesn't make it bad, just not good for me). Plenty of basic croutons. I tried my wife's garden salad and it was delicious. there's free parking and a washroom under the restaurant down a flight of stairs.

I ordered dinner tonight for my family. My order was the saltiest pasta dish I have ever had. It was not edible. I am not sure if it was just an accident but it was not good.

Kristen Gordon

Myself and my family had a wonderful time at IlFresco’s! I heard of them from a friend who had a small wedding reception here. I was trying to plan a surprise party for my brother and reached out to Bronson to see if they would be able to accommodate a small event and he was on board. He was very organized and fair and I could tell he wanted to ensure that everything was planned properly in order for the night to run smoothly. We had a successful surprise and my family and friends all enjoyed themselves. I really enjoyed their stone oven pizza and would highly recommend the Carnivoro Pizza. The food was fantastic , the drinks were great, and we even had a Dj. Great space and quality service! Thank you to Bronson and his team!

Philip Ho

What a great spot! The food was delicious and the portions were generous! The service was exceptional, thanks to our attentive server, Stratis. I would highly recommend!

Asa Couture

Food and service are top-notch. The serving size is surprisingly generous and the prices are fair.

Nataliia Chechina

My best Italian restaurant in Toronto. When I came there for the first time, I didn’t think that much of this place, as it was in deep of Scarborough. But when I tried their risotto with seafood, I got in love with this place. Also, their breakfast menu has a lot of options. Even during this hard time, their risotto is still the best dish I have ever tried.

Aaron Flannery

We were there for the Valentine’s Day and it was super busy for the night. The parking in front is limited but we were able find one open space. There were only two people serving for a crowd of 45/50 people. We waited around 15 minutes just to order our drinks. Another 10 minutes before we ordered our food. The only good dish we had was the Spinach Pear Salad. The food portions were large but taste were nothing special. The service can be better in our opinion.

Saran Sayanthan

Staff was very friendly from the beginning. Food was great, recommend the chicken parm. reasonable prices and portions. overall would recommend.

Hans Catu

Decided to try out Il Fresco on a whim. Definitely a hidden gem in Scarborough. Loved the Pesto Penne and Sicilia Pizza + Service was great. Would come back again for our Italian cravings!

Emily Dawson

Ordered their pizza to go in the past n never disappointed. Marguerita is pure n the crust was thin n crispy with a bit of chew... A perfect crust. Experimented with others n always left me satisfied. Their take on the pesto is nice n mild with a thick creamy sauce. Excited to taste their entire menu. I hope this place sticks around for awhile!

Daniel Niddery

Prices were fair for what you were getting. Had the penne pasta with spicy sausage and the Carnivore pizza. Pizza was a decent size while the penne was a little small but both dishes lacked flavour. Staff were the bright spot, friendly and attentive. I wonder if this was the same restaurant on King Street. Word of advice to the owners, if you won't give decent warm bread, lose the cheap small sliced dinner roll, brings the overall experience down.

k kizzy

I am pretty impressed with the quality of food at Il Fresco! Certainly above average Italian food and the portions are quite big. The prices are also unbeatable in my opinion. Happy to support this small business as it's worth every penny. Thank you for the great meals!

Terry Lavoure

Great food, made with fresh ingredients, and incredible service. Very happy to have tried Il Fresco and we will definitely be back. Thank you Nicholas for the kind service and friendly chats.

Giannhs Tzokas

Pasta lacked flavour and was really really dissapointing after seeing all the great reviews. The staff was very kind though. Might give them another chance to try the pizza but definitely won't be getting anymore pasta.

Jaeson Villanueva

Service was great, friendly and knowledgeable. Pasta is always great. They even have limited supply of gluten free pasta. Spinach and Pear salad is a must!

gbureta4

Steak was messed up. Very dry, and it wasn't completely tasty, they replaced it though. Completed with boiled basic vegetables it doesn't cost $ 22 for sure. Potatoes on plate were very dry. Other meals were very basic. Risotto was overcooked. Place doesn't cozy. Thanks service was good, that's why 2 stars only for. Don't recommend to go there.

Kaylee Mak

The food and the service are amazing. We ordered the steak, seafood pizza and the salmon, all are freshly made. It is definitely value for the money with the quantity and quality provided.

Joelle Prophete

Place was absolutely dead when I went with my buddies on a Saturday afternoon (The creepy type of dead). We all ordered pizza so I cant say anything about how the rest of the menu is but the zaa was decent (nothing special). At least it was thin crust. Probably wouldn't go back tho as the ambiance and service was mediocre (did not feel authentic Italian at all, more like sketchy Scarborough bar feel ????)

Tass

My spouse and I love love love this restaurant! So close to home, prices are a little high but we don’t mind cause the takeout portions are big. Staff is very friendly. We recommend Il Fresco to all of our friends who are craving some yummy Italian!

Frances Hobbs

Terrific Restaurant Family friendly environment, service was terrific. Really enjoyed our meal. Happy to hear they will be having delivery and opening on the weekends for brunch at the end of March.

Jenny Kontzias

My girlfriend took me out for dinner to celebrate my birthday. We chose the $28 fixed menu selection. Appetizer, main course and dessert. Great value and the food was delicious! The server was attentive and super friendly. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to others. I plan to make a return visit!

naima karp

We were all very disappointed, tomato sauce was to salty and not much taste and gnocchi with rose sauce was not good either, my friend ended up not eating it Impossible to go back And even do it was advertised on their menu folder 10 % of above 30 and taking out, I had to tell them 3 times about before he did it and still he ssid he was doing me a favour Really???? We should have gone back and made them taste the food. You know we were celebrating a friend's birthday and it was an embarrassment

Ashley K

Love this place. Service is exceptional as is the food. The 3 course fixed price is an amazing deal. The mussels as an app could be your meal. If you start to feel full after your main course ... pro tip ... STOP! It will be hard, but get them to wrap it up so you save space for dessert. If you like tiramisu, make sure this is your dessert selection. After doing this review I think I have to go back tonight.

S PB

Great service and good tasting food!

Mona B.

Amazing food and great service. Il Fresco is always ready to please.

Paul Anthony

This restaurant used to be fantastic! Sadly, I don't know what happened. Their chicken and veal Parmigiano used melt in your mouth. We used this restaurant in December to cater an event. Truly disappointing. 1. Dry chicken parmesan 2. They forgot to give us the rapini 3. They gave us the wrong salad and when I told them I ordered baked goat cheese salad, I waited another 15 minutes for about 8 slices of tomatoes (order was for 15 people) with a teeny smudge of goat cheese on top, along with roasted vegetables. Not good 4. The tiramisu was made with ice cream and was a pile of mush when we got to it. I am truly disappointed with this restaurant as it used to be the best Italian restaurant in the area .

Shan K

Food was amazing. Staff is prompt and prices are reasonably cheap. Quality is far from cheap. Glad to have a restaurant like this in Scarborough

urs mn

Ordered the 3 course meal for 34$ and totally enjoyed the food. Food is good and hospitality given by the person at the counter is exceptional.

jennifer decamps

Cozy location that we didn't know about until recently, and we'll definitely be coming back! Had the chicken parmesan, highly recommend!

Jesse Kaduke

Friendly service and big portions of tasty food.

Koleen Tanguilig

It started badly with the bread basket. The bread was so small and thin. My wife's penne came with spicy Italian sausage. The sausage was almost shaved. We couldn't believe how thin it was. All the pieces added together wouldn't have made 1 decent piece of sausage. The service was good but the only waitress was running around a lot. No, I wouldn't recommend it.

Storme Grosvenor

This is a little Italian restaurant that opened up a few years ago now and every time I go the quality gets better and better. The prices are reasonable and portion size is filling. Very content and satisfied after every trip here.

Canadian Travel Reviewer

Stone oven pizza with delicious thin crust. Clutch to put the sausage under the cheese. Chicken Parm portion was healthy and excellent texture. Ceasar salad has a nice tang to the dressing, house made garlic aioli. Chicken in the pasta was slightly overcooked. Recommend for a 20 minute takeout spot. ~$70 taxes in for these 4 items. Call for 10% off orders above $30.

David

Just ordered the grilled veg and goat cheese salad and the antipasto. So disappointed with the really cheap quality of the ingredients. The vegetables were not grilled properly making the salad sloppy and wet. The chicken was obviously frozen and was dry and stringy. The antipasto was disgusting. Save your money and go somewhere else.

Rochelle S.

Great calamari!! Spinach and Pear salad was Awesome. Meat pizza was excellent but the vegetable pizza missed the mark due to them using peas and fresh zucchini (they should use grilled zucchini).. don’t get discouraged by the outside appearance of the place as the inside is nicely furnished.. if you enjoy great food, Italian music and good service I recommend you check this place out!!!
