Jolly II Italian Ristorante - Toronto, Ontario

Best Italian restaurant, best food, wide variety, beautiful and big restaurant with two very nice big patios, reasonable price, very friendly staff, inviting. Highly recommended.

We were looking for a place to have a business lunch to take our staff last minute & they were able to accomodate us, even in the holiday season ... We were seated as soon as we entered, they had pushed some tables together to make space for our large group ... ... The staff were friendly and good, but not necessarily what you would expect in a typical Italian restaurant ... The food took a little bit longer than expected, but we did show up last minute with a large group, so I can't fault them for that ... The food was excellent & not a single complaint from any of the staff, the quality & taste was great 👍🏻 Overall I would go back to have another meal here next time I'm in the area ... Read more

Hidden vintage Italian joint located in the heart of the Weston road & 401 shopping plaza. They serve home made Italian classics at a fairly reasonable price. Did not even know this place existed until my wife and came across it, as we decided to go for a drive in the ... area to look for a place to eat. The place looks old and run down, but had plenty of local customers when we visited on a Friday evening. It was busy, but not too crazy that we we're accomodated quite promptly and comfortably. They have a patio area where we asked to be seated, and got to enjoy quite a bit of the sun just before it set. Our server was very friendly and respecftul. We really enjoyed being served by him with his promptness and mindfulness, as he constantly checked up on each guest without being too overbearing. Even commending him for serving a handful of tables by himself. Atmosphere: 3/5 ; Service: 5/5 They have a good selection of classic Italian dishes, from appetizers, pastas & pizzas, and heavier main plates. We ordered some staple choices for appetizers: Bruschetta & Grilled Squid. The bread they used is very delicious, however we hoped that they used some sort of balsamic glaze on top of tomatoes and cheese. It just felt like it was missing something. Grilled squid was cooked perfectly, however, I wish they could've done more with the seasoning. The squid was basically just sitting on top of melted butter & lemon juice. For the main course, I ordered the braised lamb with sessonal veggies and potatoes. Veggies and potatoes we're amazing, the lamb had great flavour but had barely any meat. It was very tender and seasoned well, but I hoped that it was way meatier. Food: 3/5 Read more

This isn't the first time we've been to Jolly's. The menu needs updating. The photo of my grilled calamari in the menu clearly does 2 full pieces with slits cut into them. Mine was one cut lengthwise to seem like there were 2. The lemon sauce in ... the grilled calamari was delicious. I also had the cod, which was tasty. My partner, who ordered the rest of the food, was not impressed with his choices. Read more

This was our first indoor dining since it was allowed again in stage 3 of Ontario reopening. Since it was a Monday, place was relatively empty, including their enclosed patio. Inside, everything was properly distanced for seating. Ordered the grilled squid, cod putanesca and veal picatta. All three dishes were very ... tasty and filling. We got both main dishes with steamed veggies instead of pasta and it was still very filling. Server was also great, polite and attentive. Overall, for my first time to this restaurant and back to eating indoors, a wonderful experience. Would definitely recommend this place to try out. Read more
