Best Restaurants with a Fireplace in North Riverdale

Lovely local Italian restaurant. Quiet on a Tuesday night. Enjoyed being able to visit w my party and linger over a long meal.

Wasn’t sure what to expect - from the description I didn’t know if this was a deli/cafe or a restaurant. Turns out it’s both. Order casual in the front, or sit down in the back. Made for a fun evening. Service was very professional. Food was great - pea soup, pate, and the ribeye special all very good. Wine list was short but reasonable, and our choice of the Saint Emilion was inspired. Desserts were off the charts - macarons and mousse. Staff could not have been more friendly. Will definitely return.

We came for a friend lunch for Christmas time. The place was beautiful. We had a table away from the main room and we could laugh and talk and not disturb anyone. The drinks were delicious and the lunch special menu had a wide variety of choices. I was thrilled to find a place that still adds anchovies to a Ceasar salad. Everyone enjoyed their food/ drinks/ desserts and the service was terrific. We weren't rushed and had a great time.

The food was very tasty and the service was great!

One of the best dinner experiences I’ve had. A perfect evening of warm friendly service and delicious food. Decor is inviting too. A wonderful upscale dinner. I have been here before and I will be back again. Warm light flaky bread, house chips, Red sangria, stuffed shrimp, paella Marinera, a bonus after-dinner-shot on the house for our anniversary, tres leches cake with a hot cappuccino. Mmmm mmmm everything was so good and the outstanding personal service was deeply appreciated. You will not be disappointed going here for a drink, tapas or dinner.
