Casa Di Giorgios

Twice in one weekend! Very generous with the wine pours here. Reasonably priced and delicious North American — Italian fare. The lasagna is great, the veal parm is great, and their very open to modifications. Lovely service that makes you feel like you’re at a real mom and pop shop.

SO disappointed! I can’t help but wonder if their chef quit, or maybe they’re just trying to cut costs. We always order from here, and we always get the chicken parm. It was always made from a thick, juicy, breaded chicken breast, slathered in home made sauce and cheese. It comes with pasta with the same bolognese sauce. But tonight, we were originally surprised that the order came so quickly. There is usually a long wait for delivery, but tonight, for the first time ever, the order got here before the estimated delivery time. So we started out very pleased, but then saw why the order was delivered so fast. Frozen, mushy chicken cutlets in a canned sauce, topped with processed cheese. Sorry Casa Di Giorgios, believe it or not, when you’re a restaurant, the quality of the food matters. I may as well buy a frozen dinner and throw it in the microwave. Never again.

Shared a great meal with friends. Staff are fantastic. Attentive and courteous. We will be back.

I just love it here. So cozy, the food is consistently good, lovely family that owns and operates it. Great service, we are made to feel so welcome. It’s homey and tasty and I would recommend it to anyone. The grilled calamari is so good, and fresh, the pasta is good. I don’t find it too fancy but good quality and reasonably priced. Recommend it.

I love this place! My boyfriend and I have been meaning to come here for about three years and now that we’re finally here, we have no regrets. The patio is gorgeous and comfortable. The service is fast and always with a warm smile. And the food is delicious! Everything is very reasonably priced, as well. I would definitely recommend this restaurant!

Came around the area for fireworks on Canada Day fireworks and was craving pizza (as usual). I originally wanted to go to Burger Priest, but because waiting in line for half an hour isn’t really my thing, why not the pizza place down the street?
The restaurant was relatively packed at 6, but we managed to get a patio seat which is my goal for all restaurants this summer. What I really liked about this place was that they gave you a choice of regular crust, whole wheat or gluten free at no extra charge. It shows to the customer that they actually care about other’s dietary needs and you won’t have to pay extra if you want to eat healthier (which is redonk).
Antipasto Della Casa (17)
Actually a decent amount of cheeses and meats and would totally recommend if you’re sipping something bubbly and waiting for your mains.
La Greco (16)
Cheese, pepperoni, olives, feta, onions and all things magical. This pizza had it all and was so on point.
Diavola (14)
FAVOURITE. Love spicy food, so this hit the spot.
Servers are amazing and friendly, they have a genuine smile on their faces and seem to really like helping you even on such a busy night. Price is totally fair for what you’re getting and the drinks aren’t too bad but could use an extra touch.
Oh and warning, it might look tacky on the outside BUT TRUST ME, the pizzas here totally worth it.

Don’t judge a restaurant by its exterior. This place looks like it could feature knock-​offs, but it’s the real thing, named after the founding owner’s late dad, also a restaurateur.
It’s going to become ny Italian dinner spot when i’m looking for nice light comfort food in the neighborhood.
One thing I like about it is that it shows sensitivity to people with food sensitivities (I’m not one of them), and offers pizza that’s gluten-​free. Restaurants are public spaces, and they need to show respect for all the particular populations in the city, I argue in my e-​book called Food for City Building — so this is a nice gesture to a minority.
I am fussy about nutrition, so I appreciate the fact that there’s a pasta offering with whole wheat spaghetti.
The tiramisu is home-​made, and the taste shows it.
Servings are generous, and prices are fair. Service is friendly-​plus.
I would appreciate having background music that’s more in keeping with Italian heritage, and less rock and roll replays from the 1950s. I also think it would be nice if they offered more local and sustainable or organic — the Leslieville farmers market is only two blocks away — and fair trade coffee.

I’ve known about this place for many years but never gave it a shot until a couple of nights ago. As soon as my wife and I entered we were warmly greeted right away and offered a table just big enough for two. The restaurant was almost at capacity when we sat down. I personally like a lot of space between my table and the other customers. The tables at this restaurant are too close together. Our table was sandwiched between a table for two on our right and another table for two on our left. You could literally rub elbows with the stranger next to you. This was my only beef with the place. The lighting is dim to give a romantic appeal.
We ordered the bruschetta which came out perfectly crispy and toasty, and the tomatoes were seasoned with enough flavour. We also ordered the spaghetti alla bolognese. It was delicious with ample amount of sauce, and not too salty. I mopped up the left over bolognese sauce with some bread. It was that tasty. We also had the caesar salad, it was a nice portion, fresh all around. The hostess promptly removed our plates within seconds of noticing we were done. All in all I was very happy with the delicious food. I felt like they appreciated having us as their customer. Meal and tips came out to $ 40 for two. I look forward to going back to try something new off their menu.

Friendly staff. Good food, simple, flavourful and satisfying. Small but not uncomfortable. Will definitely go again.

Absolutely loved my meal here. I got the Gnocchi with pesto sauce and pine nuts and it was delicious, plus it came with tons which I appreciated. It’s a great place to go before or after a movie, since it’s just across the street from Cineplex Odeon. It was pretty tiny inside though, so I could see it filling up fast on the weekends… they do have a patio for the summer.
My only complaint was the waitress (can’t remember her name) didn’t come around at all during the meal, she only came to give us our meals. But the taste did make up for it!

After reading all the good Unilocal reviews, we decided to try this Italian place near where we were staying in Toronto.
I really wanted to like it, because the service was so lovely and friendly. As soon as we stumbled in the side entrance with our four-​year-​old, everyone was sincere and welcoming. However, the food was just not good.
We had the bruschetta, which was passable, and then lasagna and spaghetti with meatballs. The lasagna was dry and gummy. The spaghetti noodles were overcooked, and the sauce was too sweet for me. The meatballs were very soft and uniform in texture — I know some people like this style, but it’s not for me. So disappointed.

Went here late one night after a long weekend and we were too tired to cook. I ordered the salad with pears, walnuts and parm as well as the seafood linguine. My boyfriend ordered the tortellini and the mozzarella garlic bread.
The salad was actually really good I seriously should have just gotten that. It was huge and the cheese was delicious. The same can’t be said about my pasta, it was bland and the scallops were sooooooo overlooked my boyfriend thought it was chicken. Scallop massacre.
His garlic bread was pretty pathetic I’ve made way better at home. I didn’t even taste any garlic just bread and cheese. He said his pasta was good but who knows.
We didn’t even get any booze and the bill was $ 70. Not worth it. I’m giving them a 2 for the warm quick service and the salad.

Deliciously satisfies those pizza cravings for lazy nights.
We ordered 2 XL pizzas from Casa di Giorgios — the Originale (Mozzarella, sauce, pepperoni, green peppers, mushrooms) and the Amore (Hawaiian). The thin crust did not overpower the delicious flavours of the sauce and cheese. We found slices to be cut very large (perhaps due to the XL sizing) but were very pleased that they were not overly greasy or too salty.
Total cost including delivery was $ 45. The pizzas arrived promptly within 50 minutes.
Would like to try their outside patio next time.

This place is great. Comfortable and friendly. We had pizzas and they were amazing!

Very friendly home-​grown Italian feel that’s deeply rooted into the community. Food was fantastic… we had the Alfredo pizza with Calamari. Pizza was a perfect blend of cheesy and crispy. The calamari is super fresh, you can taste it through the batter. The staff was very friendly down to the delivery driver. The service was spot on, they know exactly when to ask and how to ask.

Walked by this place a million times on the way to the movies and never even gave it a second glance, but boy were we missing out. From the outside it doesn’t look like much, but inside is warm and intimate. Our server was VERY attentive, even putting our napkins on our laps for us.
We weren’t feeling adventurous at all, and went with the fried calamari, Caesar salad and a four cheese pizza. Everything was fresh tasting and just plain tasty. The two of us were stuffed afterwards, big portions!
Great atmosphere, good food and a decent price. Will definitely be going again.

‘authentic Italian’ … we’ll soon be back to nice place, old-​school family friendly restaurant. Great pizzas and pastas — delicate, but robust flavours at the same time. The patio really is a very relaxing.

What a gem. My experience with ‘authentic Italian’ is limited to that of the selection of pasta dishes on many North American cuisine menus. Real Italian? What’s that? Skeptical at first at the incredible Unilocal rating for this place, we went to see if it’s the real deal. Let’s just say, we’ll soon be back to this cozy, old-​school family romantic (is there such a thing??), friendly restaurant. The server even teased hubby slightly to put his cellphone away. It really does have the most wonderful pizzas and pastas — delicate, but robust flavours at the same time. The covered patio really is a breath of very relaxing and mellow air. Take advantage of the free parking in the back.

This place offers very traditional Italian restaurant fare well prepared. Nothing fancy or innovative or modern about the food here. The menu is nothing but Italian classics with no surprises. But if you want a plate of pasta or a veal cutlet, you’ll like it here. My seafood pasta was fresh and cooked to perfection. It’s an interesting coincidence that this place is so close to the Tulip. They both have retro menus that might cause scorn from some, but praise from others. I don’t really gravitate to pasta places like this much, but if I’m planning to go to see something at Beaches Theater, I wouldn’t hesitate to eat here again. Definitely adding this place to my list of restaurants my mother would like.

I thought that the food here was really great. It’s not exactly in the most picturesque area of Toronto, kind of between Leslieville and the Beaches (right across from the Beaches Cinema). The décor is also pretty dated.
The food is excellent though. I had veal parmesan and mussels to start and both were great. My dining mate had a salad and a pizza. I had a piece of the pizza and it was also really good.
Basically, you’re not going to impress anyone by taking them here on a first date because it doesn’t look all that fancy. However, if you are looking for a really good Italian meal you can’t beat it.
