Caffino is the very essence of Italy in Toronto. It was established just for the joy of getting together, eating, drinking and having a good time in a purely European atmosphere. Its mosaic décor and authentic cuisine separate it from other Italian restaurants. Favourites are served, such as pasta and a variety of pizzas as well as Grilled Atlantic Salmon and N. Y. Steak. It offers the best of both worlds, the old and the new. Catering is available for private functions. Reservations are suggested.more...See more text
The white tablecloths at Caffino instantly signify refined dining and upscale presentation with Italian flair. The lunch menu features more than a dozen pasta dishes, six house pizzas, panini sandwiches and a full slate of dinner-worthy entrées. You’ll spend $12 to $16 on average, excluding beverage, so this may not be your everyday lunch spot, unless you’re on an expense account.
Housed inside a former carpet factory, the intimate front and courtyard patios at this lovely Italian bistro provide an idyllic ambiance for amorous dinner companions. The beautiful setting features gauzy white drapes, a stone fountain and ivy covered brick walls that provide the perfect backdrop for authentic pasta plates and meaty entrees. The romantic restaurant hosts weddings and private events throughout the summer, so call ahead to book a table.
The white tablecloths and formal surroundings might feel upscale, but this sweet Italian café
offers a surprisingly affordable lunch menu. Traditional Italian panini sandwiches are available in six unique varieties (hilariously named after famous Italian-bred celebrities). The De Niro is a meaty mélange with Genoa salami, mortadella, cappicolo and provolone cheese while the Sinatra is a vegetarian friendly sammy topped with breaded eggplant, rapini, roasted red pepper and pesto.
