Bocconcino Restaurant

I’ve been to many great Italian restaurants across the GTA but my visit to Bocconcino redefined Italian cuisine for me in Canada. My stay was like a trip to Italy. This restaurant had a beautiful and welcoming atmosphere with gorgeous one-of-a-kind paintings. Both waiters Gino and Juan did an amazing job creating a luxurious Italian experience for the guests. During my stay, everything that was brought out of the kitchen was out of this world delicious. I would recommend trying the beautiful cranberry salad, it was very light, tasty and flavourful. If you’ve never tried Bocconcino’s fresh pasta you’ve been missing out! I had the pesto spaghetti and to my surprise it was rich, creamy but also very balanced. None of the ingredients were too muted nor dominant. There was also something very wonderful about the texture of the spaghetti. I think you’ll just have to taste it to understand fully. The entire experience was very wonderful, one that’s rare to find nowadays. I believe that great restaurants are created as a result of strong leadership/partnership. It’s evident that owner Elena loves and cares for this place so much and Chef/ business partner Salvatore cooks from the heart. I would truly give this place more than 5 stars if that was possible.

Dined here for our Anniversary. We accidentally booked the patio but Radu the owner was accommodating and switched us to inside even though they were fully booked for the evening. The waitress was fantastic, they recommended a fantastic wine that we thoroughly enjoyed. The food was second to none. The two gentlemen They had in the kitchen worked in harmony to bring out our meals and appetizers in a timely fashion. The Pizza is unbelievable. I strongly recommend anyone looking for an authentic Italian evening to come to Bocconino. Rudy the owner worked his Fantastico!

My girlfriend and I decided to check this place out on a whim. We got there at 9pm so they politely reminded us that they were about to close; we were looking to go straight to the mains anyway, so we didn't mind. We ordered a plate of Pesto Spaghetti and the Vodka Penne. We were served bread with spicy olive oil as we waited. The food came out hot and freshly made. Staff members were very polite and accommodating. The place was cozy and homey WITHOUT smelling like a kitchen. Bocconcino is a relaxed and casual place for good Italian food, tucked in the middle of an office complex.
