Fantastic experience as always here. Chef Fernando greeted warmly at the door. Braised octopus was once again the star of the show - best in the city. Salmon carpaccio was superb as was shrimp and mushrooms in chili oil. Very Highly Recommended!!!

Visite this Restaurant on Family day. Maria (Girl from Zakynthos/Greece) made a very good service. But the Restaurant, I'm talking about an Italian restaurant at 7:15, no more bread and no more olive oil. The salad was served dry with no sauce. That's not how...it works. The manager only apologized and didn't apologize. The reason for this was the family day, which is celebrated every year. You can plan that. They also have a pizza oven so you can quickly bake bread. But no, Family Day was to blame. She assured us that next time will be better. But there's no next time for me in these shedsMore

Great atmosphere, excellent food, fun wait staff, engaged chef. Looks like a family run operation. Would recommend and would go again!

Fernando once again outdid himself Anchovies on toast, best ever braised octopus, real crab croquettes, seafood risotto, and finally fried milk - all delightful and super fresh. Amazing - very Highly Recommended!!!

Quaint Spanish restaurant- if you love seafood make a stop here. Would highly recommend the paella de Marisco - wonderfully flavoured with a variety of seafood. For appetizers we had the pulpo (octopus) which was quite fresh - soft and only slightly chewy, it had...a heavy smoky taste but quite delicious; and the chorizo with clams and white beans - this was extraordinarily good. Soak up all the sauce with the fresh bread served. If getting the paella would recommend only 1 appetizer as the portions are generous. House red wine was lovely as was the service. We called ahead and got a table for 2 at 8:30pm - but the restaurant was full and we were very lucky - would recommend a reservation.More

We had dinner here recently after a long absence. The experience was equally as good as in the past. The food is first class and authentic. The chef interacts with all guests to ensure you feel welcome and appreciated. Service is caring but not overbearing....A great tapas menu. Lots of seafood, perfectly prepared. Can't say enough good things. Will be going back on a regular basis.More

This family owned gem is an amazing experience with wonderful service and food. As close to a Europe experience as you will get without leaving the city! New regular spot for us. Jack

Fernando has a way of making everyone feel special at his restaurant. He comes out of the kitchen regularly to greet the patrons, not just to say hi but to have a conversation and thank them. Food and presentation is always spectacular here. Beibg a...Spnaish restaurant, seafood is naturally their specialty. Cured salmon was delicate and flavourful. Braised octopus is by far best I've ever had. Spicy shrimp with garlic had a nice bite. However the seafood paella stole the show. Fried milk dessert was delightful. Best in the city! Very Highly Recommended!!!More

6 adults and 2 three year olds had dinner last night at LaVinia. We had the patio all to ourselves which was perfect on a warm summer night. None of us had ever been to LaVinia so we weren't sure what to order. We trusted...the chef to whip up a dinner for us that we would all enjoy and he did not disappoint. Everything was delicious from the salads to the main course which was the paella. Even the kids loved it. Every effort was made by the waiter to make our experience enjoyable. We will definitely be returning...More

Helping our son move into the area we noticed the unassuming restaurant. Our first experience (won't be our last) was simply excellent!! The ambiance was cozy, family run charm. Food and service was exceptional. Best dining experience in Toronto in a long time. Highly recommend...anyone reading this to go check out this gem!!!More

With Covid stage 3, my first dine in restaurant was La Vinia - in fact I couldn't wait to return. Salmon carpaccio was served minutes after there family's red. First time having mussels braised in beer - was fantastic. Shrimp in garlic olive oil were...plump and tasty Best braised octopus in the city! Lemon and raspberry sorbet was a nice way to end the experience. Very Highly Recommended!More

Tastebud tourism at its best! Missing Spain? Head to LaVinia for takeout tapas and be sure to order the calamares a la plancha and the gambas salteadas! Amazing!

Family owned Spanish tapas restaurant. Cozy romantic atmosphere, fantastic wine made overseas by the family, cordial non obtrusive service. But the highlight is definitely the food! Outstanding flavorful gazpacho, incredible salmon carpaccio marinated in brandy, clams with chorizo and white beans, and my personal fav...braised octopus. Very Highly Recommended!!!More

Ordered Veal Carpaccio, Mussels, Arugula Salad, Seared Scallops. We took home the Spanish Meatballs because we were so full. The bread with pesto spread was a meal in itself. A great experience even with Covid Protocol. Carol

The service was good, staff really good, Food! Oil and Salt, Ambiance peaceful, Price high average for what is offered. In general I won't go back there.
