Restaurants near Massey Hall

From the moment we stepped into Daphne, we were transported — this place is elegant, warm, and effortlessly chic. But what truly elevated our evening was the impeccable service from our server, Terran, who was knowledgeable, attentive, and made fantastic recommendations that turned our meal into something unforgettable. We started with the grilled octopus, and wow — it was tender with the perfect char, dressed with a vibrant herbaceous topping and paired beautifully with a silky puree and a touch of citrus. Every bite was a delight, and the presentation (pictured!) was stunning. Next came the clam pasta, and it was pure perfection. The pasta was al dente, the clams were fresh and juicy, and the broth was so flavorful we nearly asked for bread just to soak up every last drop. And let’s not forget the black truffle pizza — an absolute showstopper. The aroma alone was intoxicating, and the rich, earthy truffle flavor paired with the crisp, wood-fired crust made it one of the best pizzas we’ve had in Toronto. Terran’s warmth, timing, and genuine enthusiasm for the menu made us feel like VIPs. We’ll be back soon, and we’ll definitely be asking for Terran again. Highly recommend Daphne for anyone looking for elevated food, thoughtful service, and an unforgettable night out!

First time at Terroni, and chose the Adelaide location due to the heritage of the building. My friends and I were in town from Ottawa and were really impressed with the experience!

Had a great night with some friends. Dj was playing great music , definitely made me stay longer than planned . Food was also great and the vibe was nice .

Really enjoyable - totally recommend. Food was great and so was the service

First time coming to La Bettola and I came to celebrate an anniversary with my partner. Ambience is moderate, it’s not loud, just a lot of adjacent chatter (like any normal restaurant), what matters is I can hear my partner when he talks. Ordered two cocktails, an appetizer, two mains (pastas) and a dessert to share, which came out to over $177 (with tip and tax). Quality is really good, just as good as Terroni (which is one of their partnering restaurants). Portions for the main pastas were pretty large, I got the Fettuccine Bolognese and my partner got a rigatoni from there special menu, quite delicious, makes me want to try all the other pastas on the menu, I can say I was stuffed by the end of that meal. Their dessert, which was a ricotta pistachio sponge cake, was the highlight of my evening. Very light and a good portion because we were stuffed from the main courses. I would go again and recommend to friends.
