   We went to Sorsi e Morsi for a late birthday dinner with friends, drawn by a craving for risotto. The cozy, classy atmosphere and calm vibe made it a great choice, and the restaurant felt comfortably warm, which was a thoughtful touch on a cold night. For appetizers, we shared the Cozze al Vino Bianco, Antipasto Della Casa, and Genovese pizza. The Cozze al Vino Bianco was a standout, with a soup that added great depth and warmth to the dish. The Antipasto had its own charm, though I personally prefer Ferro’s version, and the pizza was generously topped with pesto and other toppings, which I would happily order again. My main was the Risotto Con Zucca e Salsiccia, and it was incredible. The rice was perfectly cooked, and the squash blended beautifully into the dish. While I felt there was slightly too much sausage, the overall flavor was fantastic. I also tried my brother’s Tagliatelle alla Bolognese, which had a sauce perfectly clinging to the pasta. One thing I truly appreciated about the food was the medium-bodied flavors. They were harmonious and rich without relying too heavily on citrus or herbs, which many places overdo. We finished with Tiramisu, which wasn’t planned but turned out to be an excellent choice. It was smooth and flavorful, reminding me of how proper Tiramisu should taste. It has been far too long since I’ve had one this good. While the food was exceptional, the service left something to be desired. Our server repeatedly pushed wine, which became frustrating, and the $5 sparkling water charge was not disclosed upfront. Many restaurants offer house sparkling water for free, so this felt unnecessary. Additionally, the server appeared unwell and should have worn a mask, especially with many middle-aged diners present. Despite these service issues, the food and the thoughtfulness behind each dish completely won me over. I am thrilled to have discovered Sorsi e Morsi and cannot wait to return to try more of their wonderful menu!

   Thanks to Vince and his team for making my birthday dinner so special. Excellent service and delicious gnocchi, seafood, arctic char and perfectly cooked rack of lamb. Correctly chilled wine. Great desserts too!

   We appreciated that the staff were responsive to requests for modification of one of the dishes for our guests. They loved the food. Thank you for accommodating a request for a small dessert so we could celebrate our friends' 55th wedding anniversary.

   Excellent family operated restaurant in Etobicoke. Love the fact that the gnocchi and some of the pastas were made by the “mama”. Enjoyable evening.

    Disappointing overall unfortunately. While the staff was friendly and attentive, there were some major misses. The pasta was over-salted and over-cooked and the salad wasn't salted at all. The decor was dated which isn't important however the cumbersome table legs don't make for comfortable dinner seating. Other dinner guests also expressed dissatisfaction with their dishes, just not the quality associated with other Italian restaurants in the city. I was the only one who ended up being sick all night, the others were not. I feel badly about reporting this experience but some things I could not overlook...the prices of dining out anywhere right now are high so you kind of want a sure thing when you do venture out. I read the reviews and didn't come across anything that would make me reconsider checking it out.

    Hi there I am truly sorry you had such a terrible dining experience dining. We are surprised by this review, as we always check on our tables and we did not have any instances matching your claims over the last few months. Did you mention all this to the server or manager during your time at the restaurant? This is definitely not the experience I want diners to have, and I would never want or expect anyone to pay for a meal they did not enjoy, which is why I always urge diners to immediately let us know if anything is not up to standards. That being said, I do want to try to make things right if you would give us the opportunity to do so. Please contact us either by phone at (416) 232-2250 or by email at info@sorsiemorsi.ca, as I would like to investigate this further. Thank you very much!
