Reviews for Baldini Restaurant in Toronto, ON
Visited Baldini today and we ordered the cod special, seafood risotto and a margarita pizza. Overall, we found that the seafood... risotto and cod were fairly average. The Risotto was a bit on the bland side, while the cod special was a bit salty. The pizzahowever was a bit disappointing. First, the crust was really weird, almost seemed like they were using a premade crust ratherthan fresh. When it arrived on our table, the cheese wasn?t melted at all (as seen in photo), the bottom was also still verylight overall indicating that the pizza was undercooked. Was was disappointing however that when we flipped one of the slices,there was a small bug on the bottom. I appreciated the fact that the compt the pizza but it made for an overall disappointingexperience for a place that was so highly rated on Google. Read more
Upscale Italian with Outstanding Service Disclaimer: Due to COVID-19 I only got to experience the restaurant from the outdoor... patio, although being dog-friendly, it made the experience more enjoyable as countless cute pups walked by. I am reviewing fromthe Prix-Fixe menu, which I highly recommend. Service was outstanding, staff are amiable and answered any questions I hadregarding the food and top picks without hesitations. I unfortunately broke a wine glass and was immediately provided a freshglass, free of charge (thank you!). I have zero complaints about the food. Calamari is the most popular appetizer and Iunderstand why, it is fresh and flavourful. Pasta was rich and savoury and the portions were generous (more filling thanpictures do justice). This was the largest piece of tiramisu I have ever received, and I was not disappointed as it was meltingin my mouth with every bite. Tartuffo was as expected, it?s hard to mess up. I will definitely be visiting in the future (covidpermitting) and recommend you do to if you are interested in fresh, reasonably priced Italian cuisine with outgoing staffmembers. Remember to support local and tip well during these difficult times! Read more
One of the best dinners I?ve had in a long time. We mostly had the whole place to our selves. The food was terrific, but the... best part by far was our waiter. Patrick is probably the best waiter ever, super friendly, lovely to talk to, and just reallysweet. He even made a special warm drink from his mother?s recipe for my mother?s throat because she was a little sick at thetime. I think it's the first time since getting a phone that I haven't just sat there doing useless things on it while waiting.(not including times where my phone was dead) The whole restaurant has this super cozy warm feeling, and I left with this supercomfortable sensation that I haven't felt in a very long time.

Excellent food at an affordable price in a warm and intimate atmosphere. Their pasta con Pollo is second to none and their... Angelotti is always a favorite. Their waitstaff (Patrick particularly) are excellent and friendly. A wonderful place for datenight but also a nice place to take the family for dinner. They are both welcoming and accommodating of children and willing towhip something up for the less refined paediatric palate. If it was possible to give a restaurant Six stars, I would. Read more
We visited on a Sunday night and the food and service was excellent. We had the prefix menu and all the dishes we ordered were... quite good. I can't wait to go back and try the gnocchi! My only wish was that with the prefix they had slightly differentoptions from their menu. Read more
Cozy little spot on the Queen East strip. There isn't a lot of space for seating, but a decent place if you are looking for... Italian. The service was really good, and the waitor was very friendly. The food was nothing special though, and the qualitywasn't great. The pizza crust was overcooked, and the pasta sauce was pretty salty. Read more
Good food and cosy environment. Inside was so dark and was difficult to see the food ???? A bit mix-up with our reservation... which caused a bit tension with the waiter. But he made it up with a great service. Overall, good experience and fair pricing.We used our Groupon coupon which was a good deal. Read more
We ordered a dinner for two for takeout. I received a text that the order was ready and made my way to the restaurant, only to... find out that the host had no idea about the order. They seated me, and then found the order in the back of the restaurant. Whenwe got home the food was mediocre, nowhere near great Italian. We were really disappointed because we had heard such greatthings about the restaurant. Never again. Read more
