Enoteca Sociale

Wonderful staff and glorious Italian fare. The handmade pasta was absolutely perfect and the arancino was divine.

What a treat of a restaurant. The gnocchi was cooked to perfection with a delicious ricotta in the middle, but once you get past it, I found it quite bland. The other pastas were much yummier. The wine selection is nice and fancy, good reds. I would say the price is what one might expect and the portions are just about average. The service is definitely above and beyond. Everyone including the GM is so nice and caring. The vibe inside is nicer than the patio but still a bit hot for the summer.

This Michelin guided restaurant served great Italian food, although I'd say some were more spectacular than others! Such as the arrincini, tuna and truffle pasta! The 30 day aged steak was also super earthy, highly recommend it! If you don't drink alcohol, they have mocktails, which were just as refreshing!

First impression, small and loud but it’s an acquired taste in experience! For myself, I am soft spoken so I had to speak up for my friend to hear me, even though our table was small. The interior is very nice and I love the dim lights for atmosphere! We ordered the gnocchi and bucatini for our main dishes, and I highly recommend the gnocchi! it was the best texture I’ve had from any gnocchi dish I’ve tried. It was soft/pillowy + delicious and the hint of chili added a nice flavour. As for the bucatini it was decent, it was more al dente than I typically like my pasta made and wished it had a little more sauce since the pasta itself is hollow, but the meat was good though! As for dessert we stuck with the sticky toffee pudding, and we found out why it was popular because it was simply delicious. That’s all that needs to be said from someone who enjoys something sweet to end the day!

Amazing Italian food. One of the best we’ve had - we loved the amatriciana and the aged rib eye!! We will be coming back. Service was amazing as well.

We booked the chef table tasting menu but had car troubles on our way into the city. We were over an hour and a half late to our reservation but the staff and chef were so understanding. The tasting menu consisted of 6 courses, all of which were big portions. The staff’s attention to detail and eagerness to help stood out most. We loved the interactive experience with the chef and would recommend this place to anyone!

The cacio e Pepe by far the best thing there. I would go back just to get that dish and that dish alone. The pasta was so good and fresh and the sauce was delicious. Even when it was getting a little cold it tasted just as good. My only complaint was that there were some pepper pieces that weren’t ground enough which made it taste toooo peppery, you had to spit out the piece of peppercorn. The butrata salad was a miss for me, rapini was good as well as the sourdough and focaccia bread (the olive oil was proper) For dessert the sticky toffee pudding is a bit odd as far as theme but do not skip it. It’s delicious!!! For drink I got the Italian 91 and after a while it tasted a bit bitter. Service was alright. Felt like our dishes were being taken away too quickly had to stop them from collecting since we weren’t done yet.

Had a lovely dinner here - got seated at the bar and it was really nice! We had a great meal especially their desserts , absolute must get is their Sticky Toffee pudding 🤩!

We randomly stumbled across this magnificent place by looking up "Italian restaurants in the area". What we found was that rarest of gems, a restaurant, in the most unlikely of areas, that excels, beyond the max, in an extraordinary full-spectrum dining experience. The SERVICE at Enoteca Sociale is truly exceptional with the wait staff carefully, enthusiastically, even passionately, explaining the features and traditions of each dish they served. Their courtesy, precise attentiveness and relaxed friendliness is something I haven't experienced in a restaurant in decades. And the food ... while a little 'nouveau' in the portions, is of such high quality in every respect, that one is happy to have laid down the money for such an unforgettable experience. Eyes rolled back and the mouth just watered. The presentation is art. The manager ( owner? ) of Enoteca personally waited on our table as well, joking with us in the most elegant but relaxed manner. And it is radiantly clear that he holds customer experience very, very high on his list of priorities for his restaurant. And his wait staff beautifully, and happily embody his passionate vision of the Enoteca experience. We are going to become passionate regulars.

Yesterday during Dundas west fest, my girlfriend and I came to see if we could wait for a seat at the bar as we have been wanting to try this place out for quite some time. There was two hostesses at the door and the female hostess was completely disrespectful and rude to us. I understand that it was a busy time and they may have had no space for us in that moment however it does not warrant the attitude and eye rolling this “hostess” gave us. The male hostess just said we’re full and did not try to accommodate at all. We were willing to wait.
