Café Oro di Napoli is always a reliable choice for delicious Italian food. We had the pizza, and as expected, it was excellent—perfectly cooked and full of flavor. This spot never disappoints, making it a go-to for authentic and satisfying Italian meals in the neighborhood.

Went here for me and my boyfriend’s anniversary. Waitress was friendly and helpful. We got our food really fast and it tasted amazing. It’s a small and cozy place. Great for catching up with a friend but not as romantic. They offer wood oven pizza and have a lot of gelato to choose from.

Follow @bredgyeats for more food! The pappardelle is cooked to a perfect al dente, with a slight initial snap followed by a tender bite. Its wide shape allows it to soak up the flavourful beef ragu sauce, each bite rich and seasoned with onions and Italian herbs. The veal is cooked low and slow to ensure a tender, meaty bite which is finished off with a grating of grana padano for an extra savory finish to this hearty dish. Their signature pizza, Pizza Oro is a Neapolitan-style pizza that's quick-fired in a blazing hot wood oven to achieve a beautifully charred crust on the bottom while retaining a soft and bouncy texture on the dough which is a refreshing change of pace from the crispy undercarriage most pizzas have. Don't worry, as the crust delivers the crisp we wanted. The sauce is tangy and acidic, perfectly balancing the homemade sausage, pepperoni and 'nduja sausage which are an umami bomb together. The freshness and combination of the basil, garlic, oregano, fior di latte and coriander vinaigrette create a delicious and heterogeneous bite. And then we never skip dessert, and their silky smooth pistachio gelato doesn't make me regret this decision.

5/5. Tried one of their pastas and one of their pizzas, both were incredible. The pasta (squid ink seafood pasta / Tagliatelle al nero di seppia) is probably one of the best if not the best pasta I’ve tried to date. Highly recommend the dish if you enjoy spicy / salty dishes. Service was great, our server was very friendly and seating was very comfortable. (We were seated at the bar). Dishes were served on time. Will be back to try more of their dishes!

Ordered the daily special salad with seafood. It had a decent size piece of salmon, a few large sized prawns and a big squid piece; all pan fried on a bed of rocket leaves with vinaigrette dressing. Very very delicious and fresh. For mains we got the Funghi Rigatoni with Grilled Chicken - the Rigatoni seemed just slightly undercooked, but, the sauce, the mushrooms and the chicken were perfectly cooked. Giving it 4 stars for service because it seems we were being rushed out from the restaurant eventhough we were there for less than an hour.

Nice little cozy cafe. Food was excellent. Highly recommend. We went there for lunch. Although there was only one server at that time, she was so capable, efficient and friendly. Didn't feel they were short staffed at all. 👍

Last night, we visited Cafe Oro di Napoli and had a truly delightful experience. We started with the Caesar Salad, which was absolutely delicious, featuring just the right amount of sauce—an excellent and healthy choice for everyone. I also tried the Pizza Oro, which turned out to be one of the most delicious pizzas I've had recently. I will definitely be returning just for that. My wife enjoyed the Basil Limone Margarita, which was also fantastic. We highly recommend trying this drink! Overall, we had a wonderful time and highly recommend Cafe Oro di Napoli.

duck pizza, mussels, panna cotta (divine) and cocktail special (indulgent but delicious)was delicious tonight! this restaurant never disappoints! had a lovely VERMENTINO DI SARDEGNA at the recommendation of our server and it was a great addition.

December 15, 2024

I had a very disappointing experience. The venue is very lovely, but that is where the good experience ended. I asked my server about vegetarian and vegan options, she told me not much, and I inquired about the Napoletana. She conceded that, yes, that would work. I clarified that we could do it vegetarian, she said yes. Fast forward twenty minutes, my pizza arrives. It has anchovies on it. I said oh are these fish? I ordered a veggie option. My waiter suggested I pick them off and walked away. I did pick them off, but the fish flavour, as you know with anchovies- is very strong, and had completely permeated into the sauce. It was so unpleasant that I couldnt even finish a quarter of my pizza. The waiter came back and said Need a box? and I said I would not be eating it. She said ok- just the bill?. Now, I do not expect all restaurants to cater to vegetarian or vegan consumers, but I do expect that a concerted effort be made when we request those options. And if an error is made- rectify it! What was an exciting day for me turned into total disappointment. I am sorry to say that this experience has really soured my view of the restaurant. And to spend $60 on that experience...what a waste. I reached out to the owner and manager about my poor experience and they didnt even reply. I will not be back. Hopefully this serves as a heads up for someone else, or at least improvement for the restaurant...

I will start by saying that the food tastes great, thats definitely not the issue. Unfortunately there are other concerns. They ignore all order notes from delivery, dont include bread even on request or for a charge. And its WAY overpriced. That salads, the gnocchi, the prices are crazy for the portion sizes. Despite this, Ive continued to eat in and order from here. My last order through Uber Eats, the restaurant packed our cans of pop ON TOP of my box of gnocchi that just comes in a basic cardboard container that folds closed on top and obviously the cans fell in to my food. Made a total mess, spilled the food everywhere. Reached out to Uber Eats about it who refused to help. Reached out to the restaurant via email and received one email back about it and never heard from them again including after my response AND a follow up. If Im paying $25 for an underwhelming portion of gnocchi and tomato sauce, I really cant tolerate it being spilled everywhere with dirty cans of pop sitting inside of it.

The pizza & pasta here is really good, the Italian food is authentic. Fairly priced. Their tiramisu was just okay. They also have house gelato. That was tasty!

December 8, 2024

I have been coming and (primarily ordering) pizza from Cafe Oro di Napoli for years. The quality of the food has gone down in my view. In addition, Uber typically delivers cold pizza even though we live 10 minutes away as the restaurant does not appear to force drivers to use proper delivery bags. Leaving this review after about 10 poor Uber experiences. I wish we could go back to professional drivers as opposed to relying on scummy and exploitative apps that facilitate the gig economy.

I ordered the penne gambieri tonight on uber eats and they sent me a completely different pasta the rigatoni al funghi

Were very lucky to live in the same neighborhood as Café Oror di Napoli. Its the best spot in Toronto for authentic Italian style pizza, and other people I know who dont live anywhere near this restaurant in Toronto have also said the same. In the summer, I love stopping by the restaurant to get gelato.

I used to love this place and have ordered the same meal for years. I have also tried many other dishes with friends. However, the last 2 times I have ordered the food, it smells strongly of mildew. I smelled it first on a delivery order and assumed it was the box. But then I attended recently and had the same experience of strong mildew smell. My friend smelled it too (their white pizza did not have the smell). It may be the ricotta cheese, but it is very disappointing because this was my favourite Italian restaurant for years. Maybe it s something unintentional like the cheese or maybe it s the cleanliness. I don t know. I hope they can sort this out because I haven t found as good of a place in Toronto yet.

My first time at Cafe Oro Di Napoli the food was delicious, service was quick and the waitress was very attentive to our needs. The burrata salad was so fresh and the arancini and gnocchi really hit the spot. I would definitely go back to try some more options off the menu, especially the pizza!

October 22, 2024

apparently pleasant place at the oasar, I went with my family. However, upon entering, they put us waiting for a table. When one of them became vacant, they passed on to a couple who had just arrived. The bartender boy told the waitress-waiter that there were 2 tables available, however later, he passed on to another couple who had just arrived. Apart from that, when asking a cook the name of 2 dishes with a pleasant smell that happened to him, he only responded that they were a special recipe. We decided not to stay. quite unpleasant customer treatment.

A relatively small venue located in the heart of Toronto. The menu is rich. Pizzas are cooked in a stone oven. If you havent eaten pizza in Naples before, it is one of the best pizzas you have had around here and is satisfying. I also liked the burrata salad. Espresso coffee is quite good. Unlike pizza, it has a similar flavor to the coffee you can find on the streets of Naples. I can say that their ice cream is average. Even though the cold coffee was nice, there should have been some ice in it for the sake of the word Iced... Although parking is a problem here, you can park in places known as public/municipal parking, including some curbs. If you are in Toronto, it is one of the only places I would recommend. Vegetarian options: Most pizza varieties appeal to vegetarians. Dietary restrictions: If you are on a diet, you can say goodbye to pizzas, but salads will be satisfactory for you. If you are on a strict diet, you should tell them in advance not to put sauce on the salad. Parking: It does not have its own parking lot, but you can find paid areas or paid parking lots on the side streets. Kid-friendliness: Pizzas that kids will love too Wheelchair accessibility: Since it is on the ground floor, it is suitable for wheelchairs, but the fact that the sinks are downstairs is a disadvantage and negative.

★★★
August 22, 2024

The brought welcome bread and olive oil 20-30 min after we ordered! So no need to say you cannot get your food fast here. And as you can see the bread did not have a good quality at all. We ordered second salad on menu, and it did not have enough dressing and taste a bit dry. For main course we ordered one pasta and one pizza, both were just ok. In general, I think here should be rated 3.9-4 at best case scenario.

This was the WORST restaurant experience Ive ever had very rude staff. Called and made a reservation. Told them it was my sisters birthday. When we arrived instead of being greeted and seated like any normal restaurant this man with a beard decided to lecture me Infront of the entire restaurant telling us we need to hurry order and eat so they could free up our table (wasnt busy). This went on for a while. The food was rushed not very good. Pizza fell apart. Pasta was oily. What would happen if my food wasnt finished right away? Carry me out? Force feed my food until Im done? The professional thing to do is greet your guests seat them and do what you need to do as a professional establishment to get things moving along. YOU DONT LECTURE GROWN ADULTS EVER! This behavior was disgusting food was bad. The restaurant also smelled like a broken sewer pipe and arm pits. Very upset about this service.

Disappointing Service Experience Our visit yesterday was marred by disappointing service. Despite making a reservation in advance, we were initially seated at a table that we found unsuitable. When we requested to be moved to a different table that was to our liking, the waiter informed us that it was reserved, only to seat another guest without a reservation at that very table shortly after our request. This inconsistency left us feeling overlooked and undervalued as customers. Furthermore, we did not receive the complimentary bread that other diners were enjoying, adding to our sense of being disregarded. Regrettably, the service throughout our meal was lacking, with little attention given to our table. While the pizza we ordered was satisfactory, the overall dining experience was overshadowed by the poor service we received. I hope the restaurant management addresses these issues to ensure a more consistent and customer-focused experience for all patrons in the future.

Ive passed by this a few times and its always packed. Finally made a reservation and made it here on a Wednesday night and it was still packed. We got calamari fritte, seafood spaghetti, and Pizza Oro for two. The server was very nice and efficient. There was yummy and bouncy focaccia bread served with olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Deep fried calamari was perfect, paired with a bed of arugula and a sauce. The seafood pasta was very umami, with huge shrimps and small clams. Pizza Oro was a red pizza with sausages, cheese and pesto on it. It was very good! Love that red pizza and pesto combo. Very unique and not that common in Toronto. I will definitely return. I highly recommend it and it would be wise to make a reservation. Their gelato is superb aw well! Its a cute spot for family gatherings or casual dates.

Really enjoyed my lunch at Oro di Napoli. The food was delicious and definitely one of the best dishes Id eaten during my week in Canada. Im sad I cant return so easily to try other things on the menu that caught my eye! The staff were lovely and checked in on me. The only thing to let it down slightly is the size of the restaurant - youre very close to other tables, but it hardly made a huge impact. Would absolutely visit again.

TL;DR Terrible gelato, highly disappointed. I dont even know where to start. Background: We walked past this place after getting lunch and I was in the mood for gelato. We go in, and we taste a couple of their flavours. Service: The whole time, the server never once smiled. Not hostile, but definitely not friendly. Made me want to leave the place, but my desire for gelato was stronger. Tasting: The server gave such a small amount, just enough to taste the flavour. I tasted the London Fog, another flavour which tasted overly like Key Lime Pie, the Strawberry Orange Blossom (which just tasted like orange), and the mango sorbet. I got one scoop of the Strawberry Orange Blossom in a cup. It was the worst gelato Ive ever had. Gelato: not creamy, too cold, WAY too sweet. It was like a badly frozen ice cream. Maybe that batch was bad, but I wouldve never have served that to customers for 6$/scoop. See pictures for references. It was hard, broke off in pieces, not at all how gelato is supposed to be which is creamy and soft-textured. It was so terrible that I had to write this low-star review. Future: I want to say I might come back for the food, but the servers attitude and the quality of their gelato makes me want to stay away from this place from now on. Unfortunate, as it was on my list of to-eats.

Here s why La Vecchia at Lakeshore beats this place: Better seating (bigger tables) Tastier menu items Top quality service (means the sheets of pappardelle won t stick to each other when served) Better chilli oil! Don t get me wrong, the place isn t BAD but I don t think it delivers on the hype! It s a 4.6 star place on Google and that s what attracted me to the place but again, don t think my experience justifies that rating. Probs 4-4.5 that too at a stretch. We ordered Quattro Stagioni and swapped the rigatoni for pappardelle in rigatoni Al funghi Now, I don t expect a 4.6 starrer Italian place to be service a pasta dish of which the layers are stuck to each other like cold wax (plus I paid an extra $3 for the swap). Plus both my items ware not the perfect temperature, I don t wanna say it was cold but wasn t warm either. It felt like it had been sitting in the counter for a while. Pizza was extremely thin and cold in the middle making it feel soggy in my mouth Staff is good! Tables are small! A party of two will struggle for space In my experience, it s not better than La Vecchia at Lakeshore. The whole experience is comparatively better at similar pricing. La Vecchia at 4.5 delivers a better experience than Oro at 4.6 Maybe it happened to be that one off day when things weren t right but then again that s all I have to go by. Vegetarian options: Yes! Pretty good vego options from the look of it for pasta and pizza Parking: No parking right by the door

Our favorite cafe in Toronto. The food is awesome, authentic Italian. Service is wonderful despite a terribly busy wait staff. Shout out out to Beatrice for treating us right on Monday, the 10th of June. No reservation on a busy night, but after a drink at the bar, she had us sitting comfortably and ordering within a half hour. Cheers to you Beatrice! Ask the boss for a raise, you deserve it. P.S. Martin the bartender makes a mean Midnight Manhattan for my girl. Dont be stingy boss, give them both a raise.

I debated writing this because I (used to) absolutely love this place, but here we are. Friday night my husband and I came here to eat dinner. Over the years, weve ordered take out from them probably dozens of times. The food is delicious. This time, we decided to eat in. We were sat and I was facing the (open concept) kitchen. My husband got a phone call so I was just watching the cooks work. One cook was making a pasta dish and used a spoon to try the sauce, which I understand is totally common practice in a kithchen! But, rather than put it away or put it in the sink, he put it right beside the stove again. He served up that plate and went on to make the next dish. Wouldnt you know it, he grabbed and used that same spoon that was just in his mouth and put it in the pan to try the next dish. I was horrified. I told my husband once he was off the phone and we called the waitress over and told her. She looked mortified and we cancelled our food order. The manager seemed pretty nonchalant about it all and promised it would never happen again. I doubt this was the first time. Like I said, we used to love this place, so this is quite disappointing.

Great little place to enjoy wood fired Italian style pizza... Mmmm... Had their Vesuvio pizza with eggplant... Not normally a big fan of eggplant, but on this pizza it was awesome. Ordered one by phone as we were in the neighborhood. Arrived very early for pick up and enjoyed some of their gelato too. I forget the flavours we had... Mine was London something... Cant remember the name of my daughters. They were great.

Came here on a nice day for dinner with wife. The food and atmosphere were amazing, wish they made the meatballs larger in quantity or quality but otherwise no complaints! Pasta was very tasty but very dependent on your personal preference. Like how the osso bucco has a more tangier and vibrant taste. As opposed to the riggatoni fungi which was a little more smoother and creamier as to be expected for their respective dishes. Nonetheless, they were very good and my wife and I were very pleased. Wasn t too busy, yet the tables weren t prepared to seat. After being seated, tables were still dirty with dried sauce stains. Waitress was very kind and informative.

Today I have visited this place. We came at the time we reserved at 5pm. But already at 6.30 we were asked to leave the restaurant to let other people seat. It was done in so impolite way.

My review is mainly about how amazing the food was and how unpleasant the service(one waitress) we received. Food: We were here for the first time, absolutely loved the pizza and the pasta we ordered. The tiramisu was the perfect way to wrap up dinner and I wish I had more room in my tummy for the gelato. It was absolutely delicious, authentic and I would 100% come back again to try more dishes. Service: 1. When I said I will start with water rather than getting a drink, the waitress said Are you not gonna get a drink the whole night? My excitement to try a new restaurant was immediately ruined. That was inappropriate. I mean, normally people would just say Ill leave the drink menu here for you when you are ready. 2. When we were looking for Google photos to share with the waitress to order, she was holding the menu standing beside us, and used her long nails to quickly tap the menu, like shes telling us to Hurry up. My friends noticed it too, and we were not impressed. 3. Towards the end of finishing all the food, the waitress came over 3 times and ask if she can take over the plates when there was still food in there. At the second time, I was a bit annoyed so I said Im still working on it. So she took my friends plates away. ----- The whole dinner plus dessert and paying bills we spent 1.5 hours there. Why we were rushed when we ordered food, drinks, desserts and having a good time? I can understand the staff is inexperienced or eager to turn the table for more customers when the place is getting busy. And Im sharing my genuine feedback as a customer.

When you walk in to the café, it was warm and welcoming. There were no waiting times to find a sit. The only waiting time was the delivery of the food to the table. The staff was friendly and kind-hearted. The downside, the food was not the best. I am vegan and it didnt have many options. But the taste was meh. The pizza and salad did not settle me well. The center of the pizza is thinned and it was messy. The salad was alright, but typical to make from home. I am not sure if its after COVID but it was pricey. I would recommend it a 6-7 because the place and staff make it cozy, but the price of the food is NOT worth it. Definitely, experience it one time and that is all. Dietary restrictions: If you are vegan then it is not the place. They didnt have dairy substitute for cheese . I ate it to see hpw my body can settle the food. However, it was not successful. The sauce for the pizza is taste. It is more on meat side for meat-lovers.

5 star reviews got to be fake! The pizza is good although nothing special. The pasta is terrible, despite the elevate price. My friend ordered what was supposed to be Tonnarelli and she got what seemed to be extra thin chinese noodles. On top of that, the sauce was completely separated from the pasta and sitting at the bottom of the plate. But the worst is that once we made the manager notice, she insulted us and very rudely asked us to leave. She got even more arrogant and rude when we made her notice that we were all from Italy and knew what pasta looked like. Ended up going to a place called Ardo, right around the corner, and felt like home. If youre in the area and are looking for good Italian food, go to Ardo.

My recent experience at Cafe Oro di Napoli was beyond disappointing. The managers dismissive attitude and refusal to address issues only added to the already unsatisfactory visit. I ordered what was advertised as Tonarelli pasta, only to be served with something that resembled extra thin noodles. Upon bringing this discrepancy to the attention of the manager, instead of addressing the issue professionally, I was met with insult and disregard. The menu clearly listed Tonarelli pasta, which typically consists of thick, square-cut strands of pasta. What I received, however, was a far cry from authentic Tonarelli. The noodles served were thin and lacked the signature texture and flavor that define this classic Italian dish. When I politely pointed out the discrepancy to the manager, expecting a courteous acknowledgment and perhaps a resolution, I was instead met with hostility and insult and very rudely asked me to leave. Its truly disappointing that a potentially enjoyable dining experience was ruined by such poor management and customer service. Save yourself the trouble and avoid Cafe Oro di Napoli at all costs.
