    We had a wonderful experience! There was some noise going on next door on the patio that was out of their control but it honestly didn’t really bother us! The service was excellent really went above and beyond!

    Tucked just off the bustling stretch of Bloor Street in Toronto, Vaticano Restaurant is a true hidden gem for Italian food lovers. While it may not sit on the city’s most traveled culinary paths, those who discover it are rewarded with an authentic and memorable dining experience. From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere is warm, charming & understated with soft lighting and a touch of Old World elegance that sets the perfect mood for a relaxed meal. The menu is classic Italian, but elevated — each dish prepared with care and a clear passion for tradition. Their pastas are house-made and perfectly showcase simple ingredients at their best. We enjoyed the Bucantini Amatrice, Pappardelle Vaticanus and Spaghetti Frutti Di Mare — all expertly cooked and beautifully presented. One of Vaticano’s greatest strengths is its attentive, knowledgeable service. The staff makes you feel like a regular, even on your first visit. Vaticano is the kind of place you almost want to keep secret — but food this good deserves to be shared. We're already planning our next visit!

    Family owned for years. The Chef is the proprietor along with his son. Excellent food and service. Pasta is homemade and was served hot and nicely prepared. Bread is also baked on the premises. Tiramisu was amazing. Great location in Yorkville. Our server was top notch! Highly recommended!

    me and my boyfriend stumbled across this place in February and I had the mushroom ravioli, and the truffle cream was so flavourful. My boyfriend opted for the veal in balsamic cream sauce, and it was just as incredible. we had to go back for date night as the ambience was a perfect setting and the staff made us feel right at home. This time i enjoyed the mushroom risotto (clearly im a fan of mushrooms lol) and my boyfriend decided on fish tonight and had the sea bass filet. Once again an amazing dining experience and the food was incredible.
