The experience was the best from start to finish. Booked our resv through open table but was only able to book for 1 person so made a note that table was for 2 & a birthday. They adjusted the resv for table of 2 automatically, reserved us a beautiful table & the chef is incredible, he greeted us at the door & remembered me from visiting before with other friends. The food was more than amazing, we had the anchovies appetizer & seafood paella for 2, my friend said it was just as excellent as what she’s eaten in Spain, the seafood was so fresh, everything tasted incredible! They even brought her a little flan with a candle on them! All the servers were so attentive, kind & great humour! I even recommended it to one of my members & she showed up the same evening with her partner to try it! Love this place & will def continue to promote & come back! Thank you LaVinia!

Best Spanish restaurant ever. I used to go to a couple of Spanish restaurants in Toronto, they were good, but not as good as LaVinia. The moment you walk in you feel you are part of the LaVinia family. The staff is very friendly, and even the Chef comes out to check how’s the food. I’ve been in Spain several times, and LaVinia brought me back to those trips. Excellent food, excellent portions, and excellent price. I will definitely come back and recommend it to everyone.

Greeted by the chef/owner as we walked through the door. Seated at a traditionally white linen set table. Clean and tidy. Ordered a few fresh drinks, spritz and a mezcal negroni. Hit the spot as we walked to the restaurant from Park Lawn and Lakeshore. Started our meal with the slices of Iberico Ham. Sweet, savoury, and delicious. Our second appetizer of tender and succulent Octopus arrived. Very well cooked and seasoned. My partner ordered the seafood risotto. Similar to a paella in cooking style. The shrimp, scallops and calamari within were all fresh and so good. I ordered the meat special, a succulent duck breast served with a sweet port reduction. Have not had duck in a long time and this one did not disappoint. I had a glass of Tempranillo with my meal. Overall delicious food and great service. A chef/owner that makes his way out to the dining room periodically to greet his guests and ask how they are enjoying their meal. A true gem in the lakeshore neighbourhood! We will return. Grazie to the entire staff!!

Tapas were amazing! Wish I had time to go back for Paella or Risotto! Looked delish! Service was so great. They were gracious when we arrived a bit late due to crazy Toronto traffic.

Overall this is a good place, I liked everything about it, there was a hair found on one of the paellas and when we showed them they took it as if it was part of the dish… other than that it was a very good experience both in taste and ambiance.

La paella vegetariana siempre riquísima, también la más barata en Toronto, siendo ésta tan solo de $25, no acabo de entender por qué los demás restaurantes españoles de por aquí no pueden poner un precio así de barato a sus paellas vegetarianas, que el precio no tiene por qué quitar el buen sabor ni la buena preparación. La atención buenísima también, muy majos tanto los cocineros como los camareros. También les mando un cordial saludo a los cocineros.
