About the restaurant

Trattoria Taverniti North is a family-run gem in Toronto's Dovercourt Village, offering authentic Calabrian flavors.

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.

About the restaurant

With a variety of beautiful dining spaces and dishes that will delight the palate, ONE is sure to impress.

The tree-lined candle lit patio is the perfect place to sit back and savour ONE's culinary creations and unique signature cocktails, all the while taking in Yorkville's bustling and exciting street life.
If it is private dining you are interested in, ONE Restaurant has two exquisite spaces to offer. The smaller and more intimate Neil Young Room, located off the main dining room and the grand and impressive Yorkville Room, situated just beyond the entrance to the bar lounge.
Whether the occasion be personal or business, the chic bar, al fresco oasis or lavish dining room will make for an immersive dining experience day or night.

About the restaurant

Our mission? Great people helping other great people totally have a blast while enjoying amazing food. Wow, that was a mouthful. But can you blame us? We’re a restaurant. One that specializes in delicious food and great times. Our goal is to make you laugh. And depending on your hot sauce tolerance, cry.

In all seriousness, we take real pride in our food. Try our Cluckin’ Fresh Chicken Fingers, made and seasoned with fresh, never frozen chicken tenders. This isn’t run-of-the-mill pub grub. Our Band of Chefs are influenced by a wide variety of tastes and have travelled across the globe to gain inspiration.

But outside of the kitchen, we find it hard to take ourselves seriously. We have an Elvis booth. For no particular reason. Folks, that really does say it all. We’re sports fanatics, music nuts and love a good joke. If you’re into at least one of those things, we should hang out.
