Via Allegro serves as Toronto’s landmark restaurant location thanks to its classic dishes and equally warm, classy interior. The upscale eatery affords diners plenty of Italian flair in both atmosphere and flavor. Via Allegro spares no expense to provide diners with bold Italian motifs combined with the innovation of modern design.

Via Allegro boasts one of the largest selections of wines in North America and is the winner of the Wine Spectator Grand Award, one of ninety three in the entire world.

For classic pasta and risotto dishes, check out the truffled mushroom risotto or the taglietelle bolognese. For a more classically inspired entrée, you will enjoy the, whole fresh fish branzino or the lamb rack.

We celebrated our birthdays at via last night and the service was outstanding. We were a little rowdy (from excitement of course) but the guests and staff made us feel so welcomed. We were so well taken care of. Food was 10/10 service and ambience 10/10. Will most definitely be back! GIVE EVERYONE A PROMOTION EXPEDITIOUSLY!

As always Tanya our server was exceptional and the food was delicious! The lamb dish is always excellent and the rib steak for two looked amazing. Our guests loved it! Always a very pleasant experience at Via Allegro. Expensive but worth the treat.

First time ever a restaurant was actually so good that I bothered leaving a review! I have probably been to every high rated restaurants in Toronto. Especially downtown! And not once , have I been so impressed by everything that I felt it deserved me to take time to write about it . The service? 10+. The ambiance? 10+. Actually, lights can be a little dimmer before 8pm. The food? 10+ + +. Over all value for your money? 10+. Definitely recommend.
