About this restaurant

Neighborhood gem
Charming
Good for special occasions

Our food is a reflection of the melting pot of cultures that has gentrified the Queen West neighbourhood in Toronto. The menu has been designed for guests to share plates, in an effort to create a convivial and social dining experience.

Our Wood-Fire Pizzas are a cross between Roma and Neapolitan styles; cooked in a wood-burning M.A.M pizza oven imported from Italy. It yields a crust that is thin but sturdy. Wood-fire capabilities are critical for our menu as the flavour imparted on the food is exceptional and unique.

Our cocktails are equally thought out as our food. Our bartenders serve up a no-nonsense cocktail program featuring fresh, seasonal ingredients that are all made in house.

For parties of 8+ please contact jo@thegoodsontoronto.com

We tried Good Son at shops of don mills. Firstly I didnt mind where we were sitting but there was an extremely loud group of kids shouting and making noise. We ordered the meatballs for 21$ and only got 2 meatballs and were charged for parmesan cheese. Never experienced that before. The pasta dishes were OK. Overpriced in my opinion for what they were. Service was a bit lacking. Server wasn't that attentive. Overall not impressed with the experience. Better places to dine for that price. Overall poor in my opinion.

Sadly it’s changed so much. They’ve changed the menu- DO NOT order the meatballs… our pasta @$29 for vodka sauce was cold… and it was extremely loud and not relaxing at all.. we are regulars at this restaurant and I’m sad to write this. The waitress also had zero personality and was completely inattentive. 2/10

The food was excellent. Service very disappointing. Unfortunately we did not check our bill and when we got home we saw that we had been overcharged and for dishes that were not ordered. We will be sure to check next time.

Pretty okay! Big portions. Accidentally ordered too much. Service and ambiance was lacking. Feels more like an earls/scaddabush/cactus club chain restaurant rather than actual cool restaurant.
