La Veranda Osteria - Etobicoke, Ontario

Came in today for lunch with a friend and was pleasantly surprised on how the restaurant was cleaned with enjoyable decorations. We ordered Grilled calamari, Linguine Alla Pescatore and Pizza El Nino Adriano. Amazing taste and Freshly made. The staff were attentive, no need to call them up. Recommend.

It's tough to find restaurants that truly care about cross-contamination for those with celiac, and rarer still to find an Italian restaurant with more than gluten-free penne. I had my choice of ravioli, manicotti, even pizza, to name a few things. Everything is clearly marked on the menu. Servers were ... very helpful. Food was simple, nothing fancy but presented nicely.

Great atmosphere, I felt welcomed in there, especially because the service was amazing, and all the employees were cordial. The food was delicious and came in a big portion. We ordered Gnocchi alla Pesto with cured Italian spicy sausage, Gnocchi alla Gorgonzola, and a Pina Colada. The value was fair ... for the portion and quality of the food. I'll be coming back for sure! Read more

The restaurant is very beautiful with a lovely ambiance. Absolutely loved their patio. Service was good as well. I found the food to be mediocre… nothing to rave about. The salad was pretty good, but the chicken was tough and the pasta was a bit lack lustre… hard to describe ... the meal as authentically Italian. The dessert was tasty though! Read more

Nice patio, huge menu, good food and excellent service. I’ve been going for years and it’s consistently good each time. While their patio does face Royal York and can be a bit noisy during evening rush hour it has a nice privacy screen around it which creates visual distance at ... least and a cozy atmosphere. They have a good list of wines by the glass at reasonable prices and a nice and varied menu that will be sure to appeal to even the pickiest eaters ( excellent salads, pastas, pizzas and numerous other main courses featuring fish and meat). The service is always efficient and helpful as well. Read more
