Best Contemporary Italian Restaurants in Markham

We want to especially thank our server once again. So warm, personable, and fun. I’m sorry not to know his name, but his suggestions and accommodations were also very much appreciated. Our thanks to all for a delicious dinner and the perfect after-theatre atmosphere for our family outing.

Nice environment, good and tasty food. Good for any occasions.

Phenomenal meal - completely surpassed even my highest expectations. Excellent, top notch service that was the perfect amount of attentive and professional that was never disruptive but always available. The signature tasting menu is incredible and a testament to the chefs’ vision and heritage, and both the premium and the classic wine pairings are not to be missed with their thoughtful craftsmanship and creativity. Elements such as the eel gelato were new to my family and myself, however I have never been so thankful that I put my trust in the chefs. I truly cannot recommend highly enough.

Overall a good experience for fine dining. Their plating and flavours were presented well. Our server, Ricky was wonderful. Very experienced and was happy to offer suggestions. We ordered all (but 2) of their appetizers, the grilled octopus, beef tartar, Sicilian salmon crudo were good. Must try, the pomelo (instead of peach) prosciutto in burrata, the flavours and textures were excellent & perfectly paired. Also delicious and commendable was the Frittura Di Mare lightly battered deep fried zuchini, shrimp and calamari. The Shrimp (lobster broth) risotto needed to be slow cooked as it was too Al dente. The flavours of the burrata margherita and mushroom truffle (touch too much honey) pizza were excellent but wished the crust was thinner with at least 48hr rise dough as it felt more like a deep dish pizza consistency. Wished the duck confit not have been cut into such large cubes as a pasta dish. The gelatos; pistachio and raspberry were delicious as was the Ricotta pistachio cake was light and moist. Lattes, especially Nutella (just a hint, not too sweet) latte were excellent. Enjoyed the Dolomia sparkling water from Italy and the Ziraldo Prosecco paired well with everything. We’ve studied and travelled thru Italy (plus lived/work in Woodbridge) so we’re looking for an authentic Italian restaurant in Markham. Hope we’re not being too critical. It’s been a long time since someone raised the bar on good Italian food in Markham or Richmond Hill since fine dining Italian restaurants like Massimo Capra’s Fratticelli’s which has since shuttered. Places like Il Postinos has not kept up their food quality. Hope OM will consider our suggestions to keep foodies like us coming back for more!

Wow.. This restaurant left me and my partner absolutely at a loss for words. Before I begin HUGE shout out to the most amazing server I've ever met, Graham. He really curated our experience and brought a personal yet professional level of excitement to our dining experience. Every dish was crafted with immense care and quality. The story behind the dishes and the flavour profile was nothing short of a immaculate dining experiences. Huge thank you to Chef Daniele for exceptional food and a wonderful conversation. We will absolutely be back again soon to go through this culinary journey again. - Eric & Stefania
