    Good neighbourhood restaurant. Food was delicious. Charging for bread is ridiculous and offensive though. Little things like that can sour an evening. We will visit another neighbourhood destination frequently as none of that would happen. We did enjoy the meal and the service was good .

    Our main server was not that friendly and didnt make us feel comfortable- the place could do with better service overall- the food was barely passable thats the main issue- the veggie pizza was barely passable- tasted like ones i would buy from chain stores like pizzaoilo or make at home- throw in stuff and cook them- not remotely authentic italian- the aracini balls were good but half the size thats served in other spots- the tiramisu was more pricier then other italian spots and it was even smaller then places like eataly or gio ranas italian or other popular spots in the city- overall we didnt enjoy the dinner experience and wouldnt return or recommond to my friends.

    We are Torontonians for over 40 years returning after our move. We were looking for a good solid Italian dinner to finish off our long weekend in the City. The menu looked just right. We have a lot of dining experience and Uncle T was above and beyond what we were looking for! Excellent salads to start but the pastas and gamberone were as good as anything in Italy. The tiramisu however was absolutely the lightest and finest we have ever had. This place is a gem and will be on our list when we return.

    On the recommendation of another area restaurant we decided to give Uncle Tony’s a shot. Generous portions - especially the Chicken Parm! Food was fresh and steaming hot, very attentive service. We ate outside as it was a pleasant evening, but inside had a lot of old school Italian charm. Good value, good food, good service!

    The staff hovered around our table too much and seemed to rush us. They should keep at a distance until we look up and signal for service. This was very annoying.

    Tasted like frozen pizza reheated. Calamari was soggy & Caesar salad seemed like it was from the grocery store. We only ate a few bites before asking for the bill. The server did not ask why we hadn’t ate anything and completed the payment. We were excited to try this place out because the ambience and decor look lovely but the food was very disappointing.

    The food was excellent and was reasonably priced. Was incredibly disappointed by the service. We were seated and ignored by the wait staff. We had to call on server for our order and only saw him again when our food was delivered. We were never asked for refill on drinks or if we needed anything. We also had to ask staff a few times for the check. Won’t go back because of the terrible customer service.

    I love uncle Tony's, this me and my boyfriend's favorite date spot/ restaurant. The food is genuinely amazing- really high quality. Price is very standard, maybe even low for how good the food is. The owner is the server and he is very kind and always looking out for if you need anything. Favorite restaurant in toronto. Also really wonderful romantic ambience. Nothing bad to say about it at all

    What a cute and quaint little Italian restaurant that packs wonderful flavour into their pasta. Loved the musical atmosphere and we were well cared for by the service. Be sure to make a reservation to guarantee a table for your party. If you are a dog lover like myself, ask for a table near the window so that you can gaze out at the beautiful feline fountain across the street that is frequented by many furry friends.

    It was ok, at best. Portions small, the explanations are much better than the actual food. Waiter was directly rude to me and just very impolite and helpful. My risotto was ok but not worth $28.00. My friend had Nonna's meatballs which were very underwhelming. Very sad as it's so expensive to eat out these days and when I do go out, I expect it to be a good experience.

    Both the food and ambience were excellent! The room was cozy and comfortable, with beautiful candlesticks at every table. The menu was extensive - it was tough to choose! The food was great value. Siva was our server; her was attentive, knowledgeable, and accommodating. He made our experience excellent! We will definitely be returning.

    The dining experience was good but they charged me $4.00 for a half glass/small glass of club soda. I didn’t think to ask before hand how much the club soda would be because how could a restaurant charge $4 for not even a full can? Makes no sense. Ruined my impression of the place, which was actually my 3rd visit. Don’t think I will be going back.

    Uncle Tony’s offers consistently delicious food, great service and a comfortable friendly environment. We make it our local eatery. Last night we celebrated Valentine’s Day with a great special menu offering a variety of dishes. Our regular server SIVA is always pleasant, efficient and mindful of what we like. He provided excellent service along with the other two servers working last night. We very much enjoy Uncle Tony’s and will continue to dine there. Thank you. Fernando and Mario, Feb 15, 2923.
