We were at Stelvio last night. For an italian like me who love original italian kitchen it has been one of the greatest experience in Toronto. As you enter the place you are welcomed by a nice vibe. The menu offers a wide variety of mouth-watering starters. I had the 'Selection of cured meats: Prosciutto Crudo, Coppa, Guanciale, Bresaola' they were exquisite. The main course consisted of an authentic saffron risotto (Milanese recipe) with braised veal shanks which really thrilled us. It all was followed by a delicious Polenta toast with cheese,
king oyster mushrooms, escarola served
with polenta fries and at the end by a really good apple pie served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and a fresh mixed sliced fruit for dessert. What else could I say. Let's go trying their kitchen again asap.
Amazing authentic Northern Italian food, human, professional staff. A must in Toronto! The cheese and prosciutto plate as well as the Ragu Pasta are just exceptional. Simple decor, great atmosphere, great imported wine...The kind of place you want to be a regular!
Stelvio had great and authentic Italian food! The pork cutlet was crunchy on the outside and tender on the inside! My favourite dish was the gnocchi, absolutely delicious! The sauce was creamy, and the pasta was soft and flavourful. And for dessert, the tiramisu was perfection and the apple crisp was a delight.
Overall good experience at Stelvio. The wine menu is exquisite, we had two different wines by the glass and they were both extremely good tasting. They have only Italian wines, as expected. Our server really did a great job with her wine suggestions. The food is good, the carpaccio was good but it’s a different kind because it is cured meat as opposed to raw meat. It was good but a bit dry. Our mains were pretty good tasting but we did feel like they needed an extra component like a salad or something moist because both the orecchia and the risotto were super dry foods and it was difficult to gulp. The tiramisu was really great, not the usual biscuit soaked in coffee and some tasteless cream. This tiramisu was delicate and very good tasting. Dining at Stelvio for two people, you’re looking at an average ticket for at least $200, without a bottle of wine.
The food was brilliant. I went there specifically to have the Orecchia D'Elefante and I was not disappointed. I’d definitely have it again. But there are other dishes on the menu that I want to try so I guess I’ll be going back more than once.
The wait staff were incredibly charming. Attentive without being overbearing.
Stelvio specializes in Nothern Italian cuisine, with all their pastas made in-house.
We had a wonderful experience with our server, Anna who was very polite and explained the menu in detail.
Recommend their ossobuco with saffron risotto!

I loved the restaurant interior and we had a wonderful round table for 6 of us (big fan of round tables versus long tables for socializing). The menu was extensive with lots of hearty, indulgent meals that are primarily from the northern regions of Italy. Definitely recommend the elephant ear..... very tasty and great for sharing! Between us we had gnocchi, buckwheat pasta, ravioli..... some portions looked small but were very indulgent and despite some funky ingredient combos they were tasty. My only complaint was their menu was not up to date. I shared a charcuterie style starter (Misto) for $25 that should have had a selection of cured meats, cheese and pickled veg. There was only 4 pieces (2 varieties of the cured meat) and 4 blocks of 1 cheese. No veggies or other sides. The staff advised they don't offer the pickled veg in the meal anymore yet didn't bring anything instead. My poor veggie friend just had a block of plain cheese for her starter. If only the menu had been up to date or if staff recognized we did not receive what we expected I would give full marks 😊
Absolutely delicious food, the housemade gnocchi was amazing, and the apple cake was the perfect dessert. Great ambience and service made for a lovely evening out!!
