Amazing and real quality food. Classic, traditional and delicious. Must try the calamari and whatever wine the waiter recommends. They know their stuff. Bread and olive oil is the best opener with a glass of wine.

The restaurant is stunning — very clean & Victorian inside. I think this would be the perfect place to have a wedding reception. Also, the patio looks cozy & nice. I came here for summerlicious but didn’t like the options so ended up getting the fungi risotto. It was a bit bland. Portion sizes are big. My friend got a gnocchi and I tried some, it was seriously really good! I would recommend getting that if you love pasta — so soft, chewy, and creamy.

Came here for lunch. Beautiful space and patio. Right in my neighborhood. I really want to like this place. But it’s just a little bit of a meh to me. The menu is extensive but traditional(not innovative) which is fine. And they do their traditional things well. I got the lamb chops and house slalad from the lunch menu while my bf ordered from the summerlicious menu. He’s happy with the veal he got but he’s in general happy with any cooked meat. He was really happy with the tiramisu. I liked how the lamb chop was cooked too, tender and nicely seasoned. But it comes with string beans and a big piece of carrot. I don’t know, what’s next, some mashed patato and gravy? Just not my type of thing. The waitor was nice, though. If you are into old school this could be a 4 star but not for me.

went here for Summerlicious with a friend and we are both very satisfied. I had sea food salad, pasta and tiramisu. we were expecting the salad as normal salad with bit of sea food but turned out to be ALL sea food and it was very delicious. the bread that came with it were also chewy and good. the entrée was in a nice portion and all three courses were very tasty. we sat in the patio, where has a lovely view and is quiet. trees gave us good shade so even it was a hot day, we still felt comfortable sitting outdoors. the waiter was very nice as well. in all we felt satisfied and happy having lunch here and would love to come again for another summerlicious treat as well as their regular menu:)

Biagio’s is one of the finsest Italian Restaurants in Canada. The food is spectacular and the wine list is breathtaking. Biagio’s also has one of the greatest private patios in Toronto — great for al fresco dining

Definitely my favourite Italian restaurant! Although a bit pricy, you pay for what you get and it is well worth it. The service is always impeccable and the food tastes very authentic! Love this restaurant.

The environment is nice — they do have a beautiful patio in the summer including a fountain. Nice touch. The food, however, is mediocre at best. Portions are tiny as well, and overpriced. Poor value for what you get.

Having just visited Rome and was currently visiting Toronto, I found Biagio to be a pleasant surprise. [1] Not too haughty to take a few walk-in’s. Always good when your restaurant has humility. [2] good service [3] good food — seafood, lobster, fish, and wine. nice setting too /location /furniture. We’d go back!

Went to Biagio on a Groupon(that’s how we try out new places). Was a $ 102 groupon so was expecting great things. At first it was noisy as there was a corporate event in the bigger room(when the doors were closed it was much better. First thing I noticed on the wine menu was the very high prices for a glass of wine. THey had half and full bottles as well. Usually expect to pay 8 – 12 for a glass. Here it was 18 – 25 for a 6 oz glass! So wasn’t convinced at first. The food, on the other hand, was exceptional, with creative specials and a wide variety of regular options. The rack of lamb was one of the best I have had. Was New Zealand lamb which was on pare with the Northern Quebec rack I had at Mt Tremblant this past summer. The cheesecake dessert wrapped in phillo pastry was amazing. My dinner partner eat it up(was warm and melting inside. A good experience. A nice place for a special dinner, especially if you like good wine. An exceptional wine list to say the least. Hope to go back one day.

I went to Biagio on a tuesday night. The dining room was dead but there was a huge party in the back room(wedding?). It seems to be a family run business. The food was fabulous. The décor was blah. Food: Carpaccio– yummy Caprese salal-real buffalo mozzeralla Ravioli– 3.5÷5 lacking flavor Lamb– amazing

Biagio is an elegant restaurant that was a great place for a group dinner. Our waiter, Tony, was great and very attentive. He even shared a recipe for a grilling sauce he likes to make for seafood with me. I had the tiger shrimp stuffed with crab meat and wrapped in pancetta. The shrimp was cooked just enough and incredibly tasty. I had an ice cream desert that had fruit in it that was absolutely wonderful. It was just a perfect ending to a great meal. A couple of people had the veal osso buco and enjoyed it.

One of the finest restaurants in the city, Biagio boasts a palatial décor staffed with some of the most charming, warm, and finely dressed servers that I’ve had pleasure of enjoying. Even before we found ourselves at our table, I knew our evening was going to be exquisite, sensual, and fun. Tempting as it was to try their pasta varieties served with veal or lamb, it was a seafood night for us. The coil of sliced tuna and salmon served in cream sauce made for a bold appetizer alongside the lobster bisque that we shared. It featured a robust aftertaste like crushed nuts that contrasted nicely to its initial smoothness. My jumbo crab-stuffed, pancetta-wrapped shrimp was to die for, and even the slices of gold potato served beside it felt like silk across the palate. Her shrimp in garlic herb orrecchiette was brazen and very green in flavour, alerting the senses and very worthy of the romance novel of a wine list offered here. I’m nitpicking, but I would have been happier if our dirty martinis(which were otherwise excellent) were served with pitted olives, or if the breadbasket’s treats were warm and served with butter. But even that amount of poking seems ludicrous when all else is so flawless.

Please do not eat here. They are the rudest people I have ever met. I just wanted to make a simple reservation and before I knew it I was getting screamed at for no reason. I would stay away if I were you. Consider yourselves warned.

Biagio’s is definitely on the pricey end, but I enjoyed my experience. The weather was perfect for dining on their cozy patio, which is set in just enough from the street. While travelling to and from the patio, I noticed the beautiful architectural details of the building, which we later found out is a historic building that still belongs to the city. I ordered the orecchiette for my main course, which I cannot complain about, but the other pastas I tried that evening were much better in comparison. There is a quite a variety to choose from, so be adventurous in your selection. The highlight of my meal — dessert of course. Biagio has his very own version of cheesecake, which is a light creamy/cheesy filling wrapped in a puff pastry shell served with fresh berries and sauces. I recommend you get an entire order for yourself, don’t share! Paired with my cappuccino, it was the perfect way to end a lovely evening. Be warned: they close early, even on weekends. Also, they occasionally lock their doors even earlier for security reasons, so call ahead if possible.

Classy ristorante on King St E. Enclosed in historic old town hall, Biagio has a really open and inviting dining room that would be great for a large party. I enjoyed the lobster bisque and a vegetarian pesto ravioli; both polished off in seconds. A bit pricey, but I’d recommend it. Biagio himself came to check up on us, and treated us well. The patio is a knockout. Secluded, tree-laden, plenty of shade and HUGE! Obligatory Title Pun: What do you know, GIO? Menu Readability: Leatherbound and gallant. Need to mention: This place seems to close(very) early. What this place teaches me about myself: I need to further explore King street east.
