About this restaurant

Charming
Neighborhood gem
Kid-friendly

Trattoria Taverniti North is a family-run gem in Toronto's Dovercourt Village, offering authentic Calabrian flavors. Founded by Rosina Taverniti, who learned her culinary skills from her father, the restaurant features homemade dishes crafted from traditional recipes. Step into a cozy space that evokes the charm of an Italian trattoria, complete with exposed brick walls and warm lighting, ideal for romantic dinners, gatherings with friends, or family meals. The menu highlights fresh, seasonal ingredients and classic cooking techniques. Start with Arancini, crispy risotto balls filled with mozzarella and parmigiano, or Calamari Fritti, lightly battered and served with tangy pomodoro sauce. For the main course, savor signature pasta dishes like Gnocchi Venezia, fluffy potato dumplings in creamy gorgonzola sauce with walnuts, or Penne Rosina. Experience the heart of Calabria at Trattoria Taverniti North, where every meal is a celebration of family and tradition.

Food was great although I wish they had more Alfredo sauce dishes and less pork in all the others. Carbonara was way too pork flavoured for my boyfriend and that is not something he would normally complain about. Pizza was really good. One major complaint for me was the very uncomfortable chairs and tables are really small for larger parties. We were 4 and it seated 4 but was really tight. Will defiantly go again.

Waitress forgot our drink order so she sent another server over to confirm and make it look like she didn’t forget The mussels were very gritty and spongy Caprese salad was good and so was the pizza 6/10 entire experience as I had high hopes

Pasta was wonderful, and olives were terrific. Service was lovely! Bread, Ceasar salad were just okay and Nonna’s tart was not as delicious as it sounded on the menu.. Overall, we’ll be back!
