As authentic as OG can be straight from Italy's Calabria region. Modern dining area where you can see their brick oven pumping out hot and excellent pizzas. Their pastas and risotto are good too. Good wine selection. Attentive and friendly service. The tiramisu is very good too.

I recently had the pleasure lastnight with my husband of dining at Il Gatto e la Volpe in Woodbridge, and I can confidently say it was an outstanding experience. The food was nothing short of amazing—each dish was bursting with flavor and beautifully presented. From the fresh pasta to the rich sauces, it was evident that great care went into every meal. Our waitress, Renee, truly enhanced our experience. She was incredibly friendly and attentive, ensuring we had everything we needed while also offering excellent recommendations. Her warmth made us feel right at home. Overall, Il Gatto e la Volpe is a must-visit for anyone who appreciates delicious Italian cuisine and exceptional service. I can't wait to return!

We celebrated my son's baptism here today and it was an incredible experience! The food was delicious, beautifully presented, and exceeded our expectations. I was able to drop off everything the day before and they took care of set-up. The service was top-notch from start to finish, with every staff member attentive and welcoming. Special thanks to Renee, who went above and beyond to make our day unforgettable. Highly recommend this restaurant for any special occasion!

Came here with a large group last evening and was very pleased with not only the food but the hospitality and level of service. The staff were very attentive to our large group which included young teenage girls. The pasta was fresh and tasted very authentic. All other dishes were delicious and it was very clear that the kitchen did not cut corners! I will come back when I’m in town in the future 😊

I came here last night with my mom, sister and SIL and it was fantastic. Everything from the staff, food and atmosphere was very welcoming. Our server was great, the food came out super fast and was delicious, piping hot and so fresh. We ordered ALOT of food and the bill was surprisingly not that expensive. Great food, great service all for a great price, well I will definitely be coming here again. The taglioni al limone was sooo good, portions were huge. I brought some leftover home and my daughter and husband polished them off saying how good the food was. Absolutely delicious.

If you want genuine Italian food, fresh ingredients and great service, check this place out. Their pizza was amazing and their breads were soft and crispy. I don’t eat meat but bruschetta was made fresh and was delicious. The serving sizes were huge and the ambience is classy. The service is great and polite.

Classy Italian spot with great food and atmosphere. The polenta fries were the perfect size and crispyness. Caprese salad nice and light. Arancini good but not the best. For an awesome change try the cacio e pepe with rigatoni instead of the spaghetti - delicious. Margherita pizza was also delicious, one of the few places in Toronto that did neopolitan style pizza well. Also able to accommodate kids with some modifications to the pasta. Service also attentive but not intrusive.

The food was not as expected. Grilled calamari under cooked. (It even looked greyish in color, and very chewy.) polenta meh,,, had better.... Steak I should have known better. Keg is way better. Mussels were not bad. Not to mention we had to kill a bug while we were eating. I thought I was seeing things when I saw it crawling along my husbands shoulder. I was mortified. Lets just say Ill never be going back!

Visited this restaurant for the first time Sunday Nov 10. Waitress Julia was very friendly and gave good service. Ordered the following items: Diavola pizza - was very good, crust was cooked perfectly and toppings were good Gnocchi with meat sauce - was good, the gnocchi pasta was very fresh and melted in your mouth. Here s where things didn t go well - the Penne Alla Vodka - there is definitely a distinct cheddar cheese smell and flavour in this sauce, there is absolutely no vodka taste in the sauce and ham was used, maybe this is what changes the flavour? pancetta or bacon is not used. We couldn t continue to eat it because of this taste. We even asked twice what was in the sauce, because the cheddar taste was overpowering. The recipe for this dish definitely needs to be changed. We have eaten Penne Alla Vodka at multiple Italian restaurants and even make it at home and it has never had a cheddar cheese taste to it.

I dont usually leave ratings for restaurants, but after the service and food we got last night at my daughters birthday party, I had to say something! First, our host - Roberto - was AhMazing! We had a party of 34 people, and when we arrived, we asked if our party could be moved to a cosier section. Roberto did not hesitate and said give me some time to clear it out and clean it and its yours! Thank you for being so accommodating Roberto!!! On top of that - serving 34 people at once is not an easy task, but all our appetizers, drinks and main courses came out together when they were served. No-one was left waiting long once the food started to arrive. They also allowed us to bring our own cake and they cut it and served it for our guests. Lastly, the food was great - serving large parties can sometimes mean compromising on quality of food. But they did not disappoint, everyone LOVED their meals. And we had multiple foodies in the crowd. Our party left buzzing about the experience. Thank you! Five Stars!!!

1. Sangria: taste like syrup with sparkling water. Very tasteless. The worst sangaria I had in years 2. Capreciossa pizza: the sauce is fused very well with artichoke. Fresh ingredients. Exactly well baked with nice crust around. 3. Stuffed chicken: extremely salty. I mean extremely extremely. If not because of that. I would love this chicken a lot. 4. Service: super uncomfortable service. When she introduced the dishes, asking how was the food, etc. instead of asking everyone. She only asked my partner. That s why I did not even get to complaint about my chicken lol. 5. Restaurant setting: beautiful place with nice view and not busy and not noisy. (Monday evening at 7 pm)

Based on great reviews we placed a take-out order. Perhaps there is a difference when you order for takeout versus eat in because we found the food to be over priced and of poor quality. The Cacio e Pepe should be called Pepe a burro - it was very heavy on the pepper which was the overwhelming flavor, and the sauce was mostly butter with cheese sprinkled on top. I know it s hard to replicate authentic cacio a pepe outside Italy, but this didn t even come close. We also ordered a mista salad with chicken. For $28 we had a side-salad for two comprised of wilted low quality romaine lettuce and a few tomatoes and cucumbers. There was nothing mixed about it, and was definitely not worth the price. To be fair, we didn t order a variety of food - perhaps their specialties are their other dishes.

As a vegetarian, options were limited atfor me, but what I had was impressive. The Margherita Pizza was genuinely authenytic and FRESH !

My family of 4 had dinner on Feb 6th for my husbands bday. Im Italian so when it comes to Italian food, Im extremely picky. First off let me start by saying that Cassandra our waitress was the sweetest waitress weve ever had. Patient, charismatic and so attentive to each one of us. Maria was also nearby with a smile attending to everything and anything. It was nice having her bring our food because her strong Italian accent made it seem as if we were in a little cozy place back in Calabria. We ordered antipasto, grilled calamari, fried calamari, 3 types of pasta, pizza and steak with sides. Everything was absolutely amazing. Pure authentic Italian food. Even the bread basket was amazing. The dessert: tiramisu and this warm, fried dough that they served with sugar and cinnamon dipped in wait for it .. Nutella, WOW!!! My 22 year old son doesnt have much of a sweet tooth but he devoured this. (I know that theres a Spanish dessert similar or same to this but this in all of our opinion, was the best weve ever had) The restaurant had a nice ambiance. The staff was just welcoming and everyone had a smile and we never felt rushed. Thank you Cosimo for coming to greet us and wish my husband a happy birthday. Thank you to both Cassandra and Maria, you ladies are so sweet and thank you to the ones behind the scenes who Im sure put their heart and soul into the pure authentic food for us picky Italians who compare everything to nonna! Definitely recommend and definitely going back with family and friends.

As a professional food critic, I recommend Il gatto e la volpe restaurant and its terrific menu! The pasta with creamy tomato sauce was done in such perfection! New York steak tends to melt into your mouth in a flavourful way. The salad served with grilled chicken was set in a fancy creation of display which makes it wonderful and creative. The majority of its pasta menu is homemade and the bread is homemade as well. All types of food listed on its menu are controlled in portions. Therefore, this restaurant is my top pick overall in Ontario Canada, so continue onwards with the enjoyment of eating responsibly. Dietary restrictions: A gluten-free option is available on its pasta menu.

I was so looking forward to trying this restaurant. Im giving it a 3 star because the food was average, nothing exceptional or different from any other restaurant in the area. However, the service was awful. They were taking drinks away before we were done, the antipasto dishes we ordered were coming in stages not together, the main dishes came a looooooong time after we were done our antipasto and they missed bringing my husbands salad and Im not sure if we were charged for it as our friends picked up the tab treating me to for my birthday. I was really disappointed as the reviews I read were favorable. The restaurant is pretty they did a great job on renovating but not sure I would try this restaurant again.

I am used to Woodbridge and all their restaurant and amazing food options so coming to this area a foodie like me was a big let down on the dining options in the area. But now I am so happy. I got take out from this place twice and will be a regular and looking forward to actually dining inside soon but wow! I first got the Cacio e Pepe, foccacia and rapini. All three items were delicious and well cooked. Today I got the veal scallopini with fries and the pomodori salad . Again all delicious. Thanks you for opening a location here.

Spectacular and authentic Italian cuisine. Beautiful atmosphere and decor, and amazingly friendly and attentive staff. I was absolutely blown away by their spaghetti alle corte d assise and their cacio e pepe pasta. Absolutely best pasta in Vaughan by far. Brought me right back to Italy. Highly recommend.

Wow The crew at Il Gatto e La Volpe hosted a Celebration of Life family gathering for us mid-February. I want to start off by saying my family is a traditional Italian family, our dining standards are exceptionally high. My first cousin is a chef by trade. My Mother and aunts have extensive culinary experience to say the least. What a refreshing experience to receive true customer service - I gotta tell you, it s been a while since I ve had that. There are really no words to explain, the food was fresh, flavorful, and prepared elegantly. Excellent atmosphere, I could see it being a romantic place to dine with my husband on our own in the future. I highly recommend this place. Please visit first, and thank me later

Great food. Authentic Italian. The risotto was probably my favourite but the stuffed chicken and tiramisu dessert were also amazing. My favorite thing actually was not one specific dish. It was that I could taste the fresh herbs like basil and parsley. The charming Italian accents and smiles on the wait staff were also a great touch. ;) Ill definitely be back again. My only flag is that their sign is small and could be easy to miss. When you pull up, look to the left while facing the Plaza. Look for a small Il gatto e la volpe sign on the glass above the glass door. I think the place just opened recently and they might be planning on getting a bigger sign. Anyway, there were quite a few people there so I guess people are finding it just fine. Buon appetito

You will not disappoint I promise. The food service and the staff are all amazing.

Just recently had a small party for a birthday celebration at il Gatto e la Volpe. The owners Cosimo and Giocondo (Joe) are great. Cosimo was very courteous on the phone when I booked the party. Joe was VERY helpful when I sat down with him to choose the menu. The food was AMAZING, the portions are very big (many doggy bags went home) and the service was great. Joe and his staff were very attentive. Looking forward to going back and ordering a la carte. Because this restaurant is located in an outdoor mall, there is lots of parking available. I would highly recommend this restaurant.

Really enjoyed the food at this place. Servers were very polite and friendly. Where it lost a star for me is considering the place was not busy it did take a very long time to get a few pasta and chicken dishes compared to similar places. My penne was slightly overcooked, the flavor was delicious and on point just the cook was a little off. I would absolutely recommend trying this place if you have not been in the atmosphere of the interior felt very casual. However, the tables were dressed up in a very white tablecloth formal manner. I may dress more semi-formal for this place. Parking: Doesnt fee like a lot of parking if the place was busy. Thankful today it was not.

Beautiful place with a large outdoor patio for the summer, very well kept. Very clean place. Great service. The food is of quality and very close to the Italian taste. Menu with the possibility to tastefully choose what you like best. Very important factor why this place makes the difference is that they use tablecloths on the tables, which is very appreciated by Italians, since in 90% of restaurants in Toronto it is not done. Prices in the standard for the city of Toronto. The owners, two Italians who have a keen desire to put customers at ease with the best possible service. You need to try.

We had a very beautiful family dinner at this restaurant. The atmosphere was very nice and clean. Plenty of parking is available. The menu selection was well thought out. The servers were very attentive and friendly. The food was amazing and very authentically Italian and the restaurant is run by Italians who put their heart and soul in every dish. The presentation of the food was very inviting and the portions were just right. We shared tasty appetizers and each had a different dish. The pasta dishes were delicious and the pizza was the best I have had. The tiramisu was a big hit with us all. This restaurant deserves a visit. You will definitely want to come back.
