Gusto 101
101 Portland St, Toronto, ON M5V 2N3You’ll find two unique private dining spaces at this popular King West trattoria. The cavernous lower level wine cellar offers an intimate industrial space while the sun-soaked rooftop party table is available all-season thanks to a retractable glass roof and central heating. Brunch, lunch and dinner menus see rustic Italian fare — think pizzas, pastas and antipasti — served on family-style sharing platters. The $1-per-ounce house wine on tap is a real crowd pleaser.
Enoteca Sociale
1288 Dundas St W, Toronto, ON M6J 1X7We bet your nonna would approve of a homemade Roman family feast in the cellar at this authentic Italian wine and pasta bar on Dundas West. The intimate space (suitable for between eight to 14 guests) overlooks the restaurant’s notorious cheese cave so be sure to ask your server if you can pop next door for a tour after the meal. Menus range from $45 to $60 per person and feature a variety of salumi, formaggi, antipasti and pasta options.
TERRONI
57 Adelaide St E, Toronto, ON M5C 1K6It’s no secret that Torontonians love Terroni — and there’s something special about this downtown outpost located inside the historic Adelaide courthouse. Whether you’re hosting an intimate dinner for 10 or a large-scale event with 80 guests, this popular pizzeria offers plenty of private rooms and semi-private alcoves and each with their own unique décor. Smaller parties can order off the a la carte menu — which features over 25 Neopolitan pizza variations — while larger parties dine on family-style platters that encourage sharing.
Pizzeria Libretto
550 Danforth Ave, Toronto, ON M4K 1P8Pizzaeria Libretto’s VPN certified thin-crust pies are the stuff of legends among Toronto pizza lovers. The dough is topped with traditional ingredients — San Marzano tomatoes from Naples, Fiore di Latte Mozzarella — and cooked in a 900-degree wood-burning oven (also imported from Italy of course) for an authentic Neapolitan finish. At the Danforth location you’ll find a semi-private dining room hidden in the downstairs cellar area. The cozy spot is ideal for small groups up to 12 people.
