About this restaurant

  • Neighborhood gem
  • Lively
  • Good for groups
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.

    A fantastic brunch with the best French Toast I've had in a long time! The service was professional and friendly. It was our first time there and we all loved the ambience and wanted to come back to try other items on the menu. We were celebrating a few family events and were given a delicious complimentary round of gelato once they heard.

    Food was ok, nothing that special, especially considering the cost. The menu was not updated with correct prices, was charged $10 for non-alc cocktail that was listed as $9. It also said in the menu that happy hour went until 7 pm but they confirmed it only goes until 6pm. The wrapped shrimp was very average, the mushrooms were good but greasy. The short ribs were delicious but the rice underneath was very heavy and the flavour was just ok.

    Ubi, I believe was the name of our waiter and he made the night for us. Despite mediocre pizza and the deafening noise level, he managed to make us have a good time. We like this place but tonight’s dinner choices were not our favourites.

    Visit at the restaurant for brunch on Sunday. Food was OK but certainly not exceptional. Regards to the blowup burger, and the eggs Royale - the bill for two for brunch was about 100 bucks so I expected more. Both were, again, OK. The noise level was a little elevated unnecessarily, but the weight staff were friendly and pleasant. Overall, I was a bit disappointed but again it was OK.

    Great experience at The Goodson, shrimp ravioli was phenomenal, kale Caesar salad was seasoned perfectly, and the cheesecake was just right! Will definitely be back!
