Mounted the flight of stairs from the street, and found a comforting dining room with Swiss style chairs and a n unassuming floor to ceiling wine wall. My table overlooked busy Robson street. I appreciated the open windows that looked into the summer tree tops. I enjoyed a hearty plate of tortellini alla Gorgonzola paired with a Pinot Noir. The house accommodated my request for a half order of grilled vegetables. These were deliciously grilled and varied. Service was professional yet congenial - and very quick. I would return, and do recommend Zefferelli’s to friends.
Authentic italian foods - presentation was lovely, food was delicious, staff was super friendly. The owner is hands on (loved this touch)- he greets all his guests at the door. The restaurant looked to be very popular as the dining room was at full capacity. Note- the restaurant is located on the 2nd floor so beware if stairs are an issue for you. I will definitely pay them another visit if ever I am back in town!Note: My daughter is vegan and, despite not having a vegan section on their menu, they made meal suggestions. They were very flexible. The ice cream in the picture is also vegan - it was so creamy and delicious!
Delicious Italian food and large portions. You could split some of the menu items with a couple people. Nice place, friendly staff and the menu has a nice selection of dinner options. I had the linguini funghi which was delicious. Huge portion. It was nice this restaurant was within walking distance of our hotel Blue Horizon.
We stumbled on this wonderful place by chance - it looks nothing from the outside but go up the stairs to experience really great Italian food in a great atmosphere. Two pieces of advice - book before you go as we were really lucky they could fit us in and make sure you are hungry - really generous portions.
Enjoyed a beautiful late evening dinner ? The special was a wild mushroom pasta in cream sauce that was delicious and the service was perfect! Friendly, calm, and happy atmosphere. Would definitely return!
Decent Italian restaurant hidden away upstairs on Robson Street, although actually quite a big dining room . Reasonable prices for Downtown and generous portions. Menu is primarily pasta with some meat and fish dishes. Not much in the way of pizza. Enjoyable meal.
Had a great dinner at this restaurant. The owner Alberto was very accommodating even when restaurant was full and busy! Quick service, large portions. Can’t wait to go back. Food was delicious, servers were friendly.
We are big fans of Italian cuisine - our go-to place in Toronto has always been Kit Kat in the entertainment district until it sadly closed (and COVID) To our delight we found an even better place in Zefferelli's - the ambience and food were delightful. From our attentive server who moved us next to an open window when that table vacated to the wonderful flavors of the food/pasta and (house) wine - it satisfied beyond expectation. The only bad thing I have to say it is too far from Toronto :) Thanks for a great memory while on vacation!
Very busy restaurant with decent food. We had the steamed mussels, crab ravioli off the features board, and spaghetti carbonara. Very filling, and the crab was fresh and tasty. Our server was attentive but so soft we were struggling to hear anything he said over the noise in the restaurant
Everything was delicious! Great atmosphere!
