Went back two days later. Same great service, we had pasta, perfectly cooked and tasty puttanesca sauce. Too much sauce on the pasta for my liking. Americans seem to expect this, I like it better how they serve it in Italy. Big portion. Split with my husband and with a salad was plenty. Owner sent us after dinner drinks when she realized we were there for 2nd time that week.

Just around the corner from the Park Hyatt Toronto, it was very conveniently located. The ambiance was lovely - very warm and intimate. My friend and I decided to share a dinner, and ordered soup separately. I ordered the minestrone soup, which was delicious and very hearty! My friend got the Tortellini in brodo, which she really enjoyed. The soup on its own was enough for dinner, what with the... more

This was one of the best restaurants I've ever eaten at. We got there, walked in, and the waiter told us that the wait would be ten minutes for a seat, but probably less. Sure enough, two minutes goes by and a table is ours. They bring out some bruschetta and it was the best bruschetta I've ever had. Then they give our table a little basket of bread and man that was some good bread. The... more

One of the best Italian restaurants in Toronto. Food and service are exceptional.
Didnt have a reservation but was there early enough to get a table.
Cozy atmosphere, they have a nice patio area as well
Its moderately priced ($25-40 avg CAD) but definitely worth a visit. You pay for quality and this was well worth the $$$ stars.

Everything about this place is amazing - food, wine, ambiance. It's certainly cozier in the winter time, but summer opens up two patios. Salads are always fresh, pasta is delicious, fish always grilled perfectly. It's classic and simple Italian food at its finest.

Came here with my office. Lovely spacious area upstairs. Had the risotto, not as good as my roommates', pretty tasty nonetheless. Pretty decor and classy Mesopotamian music.

We had a great experience here. Called on Wed at 5:00 and they made arrangements to get us in at 7 for a family of six. Service was great, good wine selection and we had the seafood platter special of the day. Very flavorful and healthy!
Kids had pizza and gnocchi, also very tasty. Start with grilled calamari.
The place was jammed with many couples but noisy enough that we felt welcome with our... more

Food was fine service slow and wine served to warm - understand if the restaurant was full but it wasn' t.

Best tiramisu ever!!! Had to start by saying that since it had me thinking about their tiramisu for the whole week.

I came here once for dinner as a friend had read good reviews of this restaurant. Food was delicious!!! Service was great!!! It's situated in a little house and so not that very many tables. Definitely recommend making reservations. Food came out in huge portions! We were a group... more

We held an 18 person party in the 2nd floor private room- Fiermosca outdid themselves, everything about dinner was perfect- location, service, food. Food is simple but with really fresh ingredients. Not fancy but tasty. I have never had a server as outstanding as Giovani. He even gave us a chef coat for my son when jack soaked his shirt (and oops we had no back up). I said I would return it and... more

Love warm friendly atmosphere. Flo is like an old friend accommodating and professional. Giovanni was our server he was fun yet professional. We are Italian and good food is sacred to us. Loved arugula fig salad, osso buco was amazing (just like nonna use to make) highly recommend. Grazie Flo - will come back soon.
Reservations needed.

Went to dinner with my sisters, we had the ossobuco on risotto delicious, tiramisu for dessert fabulous. Flo is a great host, atmosphere is friendly and warm. Highly recommend, I will go back soon.

Simple delicious food, nice atmosphere, great service, and an overall enjoyable place to dine. I came with a large group and we ate in the private dining area, and was really impressed with the attentive service for such a large party.
The caesar salad was phenomenal, no simple feat for a simple salad that you can find just about anywhere. I swear i could have eaten buckets of this as my entire... more

I love this restaurant and my father is used to invite the family here for dinner. All the dishes from grilled vegetables to pasta to desserts are delicious and served in large portions. The waiters are very friendly and helpful with suggestions. Recommended for a group dinner if you have the money to pay for it. The price is definitely justified.

This place is fantastic! The food is very fresh and flavorful. They use the best of everything in their ingredients. It is a very welcoming and unpretentious place and the manager, Edwin, is uber friendly and knowledgable. He takes the time to suggest the most ideal way of ordering dishes and treats you with the utmost care. This is definitely a place that I would revisit when I find myself in... more

They have comfort food, indeed. But the italian waiter(may be manager of this restaurant) was not really gay friendly. I saw him serve very careful and kindly with other customers, but not us. We went there at Valentine's day, come on, you said happy valentines day to every customers except us?! Even we paid you a fat tip?

Cozy, classy atmosphere...idyllic little back patio...wonderful Italian cuisine...prompt and friendly service. How have I never been here before?

If the weather cooperates, I recommend sitting out back on the patio, which is bathed in leafy greenery and accented with a full-sized Greek statue. Very pretty!

Before the meal as we sipped on cocktails, they offered us delicious complimentary... more

Came here with some high expectations and it did not disappoint. Rarely have I seen pappardelle offered anywhere but Little Italy, and amazing cooked at that. The setting is extremely graceful and beautifully designed. Only reason it's not a 5-star is because their command of meat was not quite perfect. I must give them credit for cooking the rack of lamb beautifully (I see less of that... more

Molto Bene!
Great food, great service, lovely decor.
The tiramisu was creamier than what we are used to. They also offered our child a complementary chocolate gelato. How cool is that?
We will definitely go back to this place & recommend it to our friends.

A++++ service and the food was absolutely delicious!

I have a shellfish allergy and they were very accommodating to that as well.

I couldn't decide between two of the pasta dishes, so the server said he would gladly make me a combination of the two - whatever I wanted.

The atmosphere was so intimate and lovely. I would definitely eat here again!

Thank you for making our anniversary such a... more

Fieramosca proved a lovely capstone to a lovely anniversary vacation. We knew we'd chosen well from the bread basket and bruschetta. It was just upwards from there.

The atmosphere was relaxed and welcoming, seating us despite failing to find our reservation. Our waiter, after reporting the specials, also winkingly let us know the house does an excellent Caesar salad not found on the menu. He... more

I had really high expectations for this restaurant. The food was fresh but not wow

We ate:
- complimentary Bruschetta:(4/5) hit the spot, but difficult to eat
- Green salad: (3/5) generic arugula salad
- Pizza with anchovies: (5/5) SO GOOOOODDDDDD and cheesy
- Olive oil pasta: (4/5) fresh and simple
- Sea bass:(3/5) expensive and mediocre

While the decor is homey and very Milan-like, the... more

Holy Hidden GEM Batman!!

This place is awesome. Felt like I was in an Italian backyard on the Amalfi coast. The food was authentic italian. The owner and waiter were beyond hospitable. They were funny and eager to please.

I was with a group of 6 and everyone said their meal was one of the best by far. I had the Pappardelle in white wine sauce. SO GOOD!!!

A great place to bring a date and also a really great spot for a group reservation. We were a group of 10 and were seated in the upstairs room. Food was excellent and they were very accommodating. I would recommend this for both a romantic evening for couples as well as for group functions.

Its a homely little Italian place with decent food and good, if a little distracted service. I had the wild mushrooms in white wine sauce as an appetiser. This was delicious. My main course of Pappardelle Fieramosca (pappardelle with shrimps in a tomato and white wine sauce) was good, but not exceedingly memorable.

The memorable bit was the tiramisu. Deee-lishus. Pity I had to share it ;-)

I'm not sure what the hype is, particularly at this price point. I had an uninspired salad and a steak, which was well prepared, but served with boring steamed vegetables. The decor is also boring and outdated and the service was extremely slow (despite the fact that they weren't busy). I would go back for dessert though, as the tiramisu was delicious.

Went there.
yesterday with my wife and Kids. It was fabulous! Excellent service with very attentive and very nice waiters.
The owner came to our table and said we could choose any pasta, done the way we like it, even if it wasnt on menu.
We had a great time there, for an honest price. Will come Back!

A fabulous restaurant experience to finish up our trip to Toronto!

Upon seeing reviews on Yelp, we headed to Fiermosca on our BixiBikes only expecting to have a tasty dinner. It never occurred to us we would need reservations!! However, our waiter was happy to seat us with the understanding we were limited to one hour as the place was definitely getting busy. We were seated right next to the... more

The restaurant is very cozy, good staff and excellent service. Pricey though.

Great food, the staff are very fun and friendly. The crowd is mostly baby-boomer types and locals who love the food.
The decor could be revamped but it's the atmosphere that really sells you. Nice lighting, intimate setting, great date place or dinner with friends.

The food is fantastic. But what really sets this restaurant apart , besides the elegant yet warm and inviting surroundings is the service. After we order off-menu, which we were encouraged to do ("What do you feel like eating, we'll make you anything you want"), comes Minnie with a bottle of Limoncello and a couple of glasses. Eating here feels like you're a guest in someone's home, and after a... more

yum. pasta carbonara. yum. i'm always searching for a good pasta carbonara. the best i've had was in florence, it's kind of tough to beat. but fieramosca definitely provided me with their best version. at first glance the restaurant looks tiny, but there's the main dining room, an outdoor patio, upstairs dining, and an upstairs outdoor patio. service was a little slower than what i'm used to,... more

Such a great little place!

I went here for a work lunch with some colleagues, and we sat on the (tiny, adorable) back patio. The food was delicious, and they knew we were in a rush so the food came out very quickly.

The place has just the right amount of Italian charm, without going over to the "cheesy" side. I love the sculptures on the patio!

It's a little pricey for lunch ($17 for my... more

Wife and I went here for dinner while in Toronto for the weekend and must day what a great little place with great Italian food, great selection of wine and amazing service. The place is small but that adds to experience. When we called to make reservations, they only had 5:30 or 9p reservations available and it was well worth waiting till 9p and not going somewhere else. If you are in the... more

Spectacular food, service, and location. A block away from all the noise, yet still is cozy and welcoming. The carpaccio and veal scallopini I had were wonderful, as was the Barbera on the wine list. I cannot recommend highly enough; make sure to ask for Giancarlo though, he's fantastic.

Given the abundance of mediocre and over priced restaurants in this neck of the woods, it's great to have a place that serves good standard fare with service to boot. Prices are reasonable and the atmosphere is old school here.
A very good choice for Italian overall.

I went out for a nice dinner with some family here one evening. The staff is incredibly nice. It probably didn't hurt that my father is Italian and he spent a good portion of the evening chatting up the waiter. He told us not to bother looking at the menu and that he would have the kitchen make whatever we were in the mood for.

The food was good, but a little disappointing given the price.... more

My aunt lives a few blocks away so when I meet up with her for dinner, we often go here. They know her name and reconize me there and we call it our "Moonstruck" restuarant (if you haven't seen this movie, rent it now!!) I love their gnocchi quattro fromagi (please pardon the spelling) and I've had their Spegetti carbonara a few times and loved it as well. Their patio is amazing, fairly lights... more

A cozy little restaurant tucked away on the boundary between the Annex and Yorkville, Fieramosca does the classic trattoria style as well as I've seen in this town. The food is delicious and the service is great.

While unfortunately a little too pricey to be a regular stop for me, I have to say that my experience there last year for a work function was wonderful. Booking the reservation was a... more

It's like a house turned restaurant. Feels cramped when you're waiting for a table at the front, but when you actually get seated, it feels really comfortable.

The service is laid back and friendly. The menu is Italian and extensive. My favourite is that any of the fish dishes come in several ways: steamed, grilled or whole. If you love fish, this is your joint for sure.
