Best Family Style Restaurants in King West

Imagine an impeccable experience. That's the one I had with my girlfriend at Alder. The whole experience was spotless; the food was perfect, the service was attentive, polite and on point, and the ambiance was sweet, refined and cozy. It was my first time there, and I will definitely go back.

Giulietta is a charming slice of Italy in the heart of the city. From the moment you step in, the rustic ambiance and warm lighting set the perfect tone for a cozy, authentic dining experience. The menu is a delightful journey through classic Italian dishes, with every ingredient shining in its simplicity and quality. Regardless what you order, meals are full of rich, deep flavors. The staff is attentive and knowledgeable, offering spot-on wine pairings to complement the meal. For dessert, the tiramisu is a must—light, creamy, and the perfect end to a fantastic meal. Whether you’re here for a casual dinner or a special celebration, Giulietta delivers a taste of Italy that feels both refined and homey. Highly recommend, this was our 3rd visit and many more to come!

Visiting from Newfoundland and this was the best meal of our trip (and we went to several bib gourmand restaurants)! Absolutely amazing Italian food, with phenomenal service and a chef who puts a lot of heart into her food and her restaurant. I’m so glad we came here— all four of my party had a different pasta and they were each amazing in their own way— I’ll be back for sure, would highly recommend !

Great flavours and great ambiance. The cod and braised beef dishes were our favourites. We also enjoyed the slaw. The octopus carpaccio was very spicy; maybe too much. We devoured the molten chocolate cake, which was one of the best. The dessert sampler of all-time favourites was also enjoyable and a nice mix of flavours The portion sizes were better than expected. One of the most memorable meals we’ve had in years. Would definitely come back.

Great experience!!! Perfect atmosphere and the service and food were both top notch !
