Fieramosca

Went there on a late Saturday to try the tiramisu. I’m a tiramisu lover & on a quest to find the best one in the city. Theirs is quite good, but a tad too creamy and sweet for me. I prefer a stronger taste. The servers were really nice & the place is quite cosy.

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 2^nd 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 lovely bread.
Then we got our entrée — Pappardelle Fieramosca; thick noodles with mushrooms and shrimp. The kitchen was kind enough to split it for us and seriously, each half portion was equivalent to a regular portion! Wow! Its was very good!
The waiter made a small mistake on our check, which was easily corrected, but offered us a tiramisu on the house for our trouble. Light and fluffy! I don’t usually like tiramisu, but this one was delicious.
If you are in the mood for authentic Italian, then definitely try out Fieramosca!

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 selection of beers was really great, so I’ve heard. Food comes around and I got the Fussili Delizia and I wish I could eat nothing but that for a long time, because that was extremely good. And for the prices of the food there, you get a lot of food. I’m a growing young adult with one of those famous endless college stomachs, and it filled me up.
Now here’s the best part and the thing that amazed me the most about this place. We got the check, and while that was going on, we were talking with our waiter (who was incredibly friendly) about good places to go and things to hit in Toronto. We happened to mention where we were heading next and to see what he thought of it. We pay for the bill and head out. We’re around the corner and half a block down and we hear someone yell «Sir!» We turn around and it’s our waiter, who ran up to us to return the hat my dad was wearing and accidentally left in the restaurant. The fact he would leave the restaurant and run around a block just to catch up with us to return my father’s cheap yard sale hat is customer service at its finest. The food was great, the atmosphere was great, the customer service was amazing. The only thing I didn’t like about this place was how tight the entrance hallway is, but I cannot say a single bad thing about this place.

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 décor 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 kids.
A pricey dinner but expected in this area and for the quality.

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 of girls where some of the girls were small eaters so they mentioned they wanted to share their main pasta entrée. When the food came, they had already split the pasta dishes for the girls but they looked like they’re regular sized portions that you would get at any other restaurant. I ordered their mussels, prosciutto wrapped melon and their daily special which was squid ink seafood pasta which was all delicious! I didn’t think I would have an appetite for dessert but I still ordered the tiramisu since its made fresh daily. Huge portion and it was so good!!!
Would I come back again? Definitely!!!

We held an 18 person party in the 2^nd 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 he said «no keep it– maybe one day jack will be a chef and this is his first coat»! The whole night was like that. Hats off to Fiermosca for a stellar night!

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 meal and left happy. Alas, we then moved onto the main course of a breaded chicken and it was delicious as well. Generous serving size and flavoured nicely. For dessert we had tiramisu, which isn’t generally my favourite, but this was great. The cream was fresh, bold cocoa flavours, and the consistency was good.
The décor was interesting too, lots of «treasures» ie. Paintings, vases, tusks, collectables, etc. It added to the idyllic charm and gave a warm feel to the room.
Overall, this was a nice place to dine and i’d recommend it to anyone looking for a special night out.

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 über 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 Toronto again.

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 bruschetta and a plate of olives and cheese. Very generous indeed.
For an appetizer, I recommend the sauteed shrimps in a tomato cream sauce. Delish.
For my entrée I chose the «Hotel De Paris» which is an unusual combination of veal piccata (veal scallopini served with a lemon/​butter/​white wine sauce) alongside slices of grilled salmon, accompanied by grilled veggies. Wonderful dish!
My companion ordered a lamb special, cooked with arugala and parmesan cheese, which was also lovely.
Looking for a quality, romantic night out? This is it!
P. S. We used the valet parking for the restaurant directly across the street from Fieramosca. As long as you pay them (it’s $ 12) I don’t think they care.

Food: 3
Décor: 3
Service: 2
1. FUNGHI SALTATI, 12
Lightly sautéed cremini, King oyster and shiitaki mushrooms dressed with fresh herbs, served on a toasted baguette, topped with brie cheese
~Okay. Mushrooms with brie were tasty, although it was borderline too salty.
2, LINGUINE DI MAMMA NINETTA
Linguine with sautéed porcini mushrooms, shrimps and chicken in extra virgin olive oil and garlic sauce
~Okay. Portions were too big, and it was overall a bit too heavy. Needed something to balance it out.
Service was really poor. It took a long time before they came back for my order, and then I was ignored after serving my entrée. I had to walk up back into the restaurant to get my bill.

Molto Bene!
Great food, great service, lovely décor.
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 fabulous restaurant experience to finish up our trip to Toronto!
Upon seeing reviews on Unilocal,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 fire and our waiter was genuinely wonderful!
We ordered the Arugula fig appetizer special, Lamb chop entrée, and Linguini di mama Netta. Our waiter brought bruschetta to us after ordering and shortly after they brought bread, too. Plenty of food, no doubt! We also enjoyed a glass of Chianti. While it was very tasty with the bread and salad, once our entrees arrived the flavors changed and we didn’t like it as much, BUT maybe we should have finished it sooner ;)
The Linguini di Mama Netta was good – I liked the lightness of the sauce and the combination of mushrooms, shrimp, and other veggies. I could have done without the chicken – it lowers the appreciation of the dish (in my opinion, that is). The lambchops were UH-​MAZING. So tasty and made both of us very pleased we made the trip to Yorkville. The place was full and we had reached our hour… we closed our bill and I asked our waiter for suggestions of dessert/​coffee spots. He laughed and instructed us to make our way to the bar.
I’m not sharing all of our details because our experience was very special — and one that I’m not sure happens to every guest, BUT Fiermosca was the best choice we made on our Toronto trip. We enjoyed a few laughs with the owner and his staff, enjoyed his «I threw the leftovers together» dessert, as well as the Tiramisu (YUM!).
Unilocalers, it’s a no-​brainer. I don’t give a 5 too easy – check it out. BUT make a reservation ;)
