Elte Cafe - Toronto, Ontario

This boutique cafe and restaurant quaintly tucked inside ELTE is the hidden gem you didn’t know you needed in this neighbourhood. The warm ambiance, the thoughtfully curated food menu items, and of course the service were all top notch. Elina was a ball of positive energy, enthusiastically guiding me through their ... culinary choices. I would recommend this premium option for a great casual eating experience. Read more

Incredibly delicious food. Beautiful surroundings. Highly recommend this amazing café.

I went there for the first time today for lunch with my wife. She chose the Turkey sandwich and I chose the Rigatoni Bolognese. I was enticed to try this out based on a blog TO review which included beautiful, looking dishes in their pics (as do the pics on ... their website). I was surprised when we got there, as the setting looks very much like a cafeteria, including a bunch of different kinds of pop cans, on the counter in front of the pay terminal. The first issue that we encountered was that my wife’s sandwich was brought out about 10 to 15 minutes before my pasta dish. So, she ended up finishing before I had even been given my lunch. When my lunch did arrive, I was kind of surprised that not only was it dried pasta, but it was cooked, so al dente, that it’s stuck to my teeth/gums. for the record, I definitely prefer my pasta to be served al dente, but I have never experienced pasta at a restaurant that has been cooked so poorly. I sent it back asking if there might be something else I could have instead, but the chef assured me that he could fix it within two minutes 🤔. About five minutes later, they brought the dish back, and I basically couldn’t tell the difference. The waitress said that the chef ‘apologized’ for the inconvenience. I just ate the rest of it and left disappointed. Read more

Staff is welcoming and the food is always so fresh and flavourful. The funghi panini is my go-to, one of the meatiest and most satisfying vegetarian sandwiches. You can't go wrong with any of their pastas either.

This charming Italian restaurant exceeded all expectations. From the warm ambiance to the attentive staff, every detail was a delightful nod to true Italian hospitality. The menu showcased fresh, high-quality ingredients. Each dish was a masterpiece—flavors so rich, you could almost hear the Mediterranean. The pasta was perfectly al dente, ... the pizzas were heavenly, and the tiramisu was the perfect sweet finale. A true gem for anyone seeking an exquisite Italian dining experience! Read more
