Description: Enoteca Sociale is a real Italian Wine-Bar in the west end of Toronto. Sociale brings the concept of the Italian Enoteca to Toronto. Our value driven wine list focuses on hidden gems from various regions of Italy plus some of Ontario’s finest. We are proud to offer 80 wines under $80, available in tasting sizes thanks to our Enomatic system. Chef Rocco Agostino’s menu features daily house made pasta with inspiration from classic Roman cuisine and local seasonal ingredients. Our very own cheese cave houses a selection of Ontario and Italian cheese. Simple, Honest and Natural. —Chef Grant Van Gameren & Max Rimaldi

Visited Enoteca Sociale in TO based on the recommendation of a big time chef here in Buffalo. He was right on the mark. This smallish restaurant, with a limited menu, does it all well. We thoroughly enjoyed our appetizers, especially when we followed the recommended wine pairing for the dish. Very innovative choices using fresh high quality ingredients. Entrees amounted... More

I'm keeping it short and sweet - tonight's birthday dinner for my fiancé was fabulous. Excellent attentive service and delicious house made fresh bread started off our evening. We savoured every bite of our mushroom crostini, grilled romaine lettuce salad with grapes and pine nuts (and an amazing yogurt dressing), gnocchi with fresh tomatoes, and fresh pasta with a carrot...

Last night was likely my 15th time at Enoteca, and each time the food gets better and better. Last night it was the tuna crudo that blew my mind. So thoughtfully prepared with fresh orange sections and I think a hint of anise. Runners up would be the shaved asparagus salad with pistachio crema and the mushroom crostini. Wrap that... More

Everyone had been ranting and raving about this place after the success of Libretto so I decided to check it out for myself; I've been back 4 times since. It is my favourite and go-to Italian in Toronto. From the exceptional service, to the wines, food (especially the sticky toffee pudding - do not leave without at least sharing it)... More

Small restaurant that packs a big punch! A comfortable atmosphere with very attentive and knowledgeable wait staff. Extensive wine list provided a lot of unique options by the class that not availalbe any where else, and the menu provided wine pairings with every dish. There was a unique variety of appetizers considering the menu isn't that large. The risotto cheese... More

Delicious, inventive italian with an amazing wine list. Our server - Judy made excellent recommendations for wine pairings and told us a bit about each wine as it was delivered. Proper italian portion sizes for pasta and a bartender who actually knows how to make coffee. We will be back.

One of the best Italian Resturant in Toronto. The service just excellent ( Leas, thank you, you are a foodie), the entry selection, can meet every person expectation, it vary. Between the traditional to the innovative. The pasta, is as good should may have in Italy. The wine paring match the food you selected. Flexibility in wine selection is available.... More

Was at Gusto 101 the night before (did write a review on it) this restaurant is in a different league. We sat at the bar, served by a freindly knowledgeable bartender. There are so many things right about this place, they serve their red wine at cellar temperature, the bread and olive oil are so good it is difficult not... More

Two couples, Saturday night. Although we phoned for reservations two weeks in advance, Saturday night is always busy and 9:00 was the earliest we could get. No problem, it is worth the wait. The place was hopping. Unfortunately, one waiter for all those tables was not enough so the Manager/owner filled in admirably. Two of us started with the grilled... More
