In the heart of the Financial District, Modus Ristorante is Toronto's plush spot for refined Italian cuisine.

We host one of the Financial District's best patios with ample seating for all occasions. Modus might serve Italian food, but refreshingly, no one’s anxious to label it “rustic.” Modus’s menu takes recognizable Italian classics and re-creates them as fine-dining fares.

The restaurant offers an extensive 300-bottle wine program, with seasonally selected wine by the glass. A focus on Italian, Californian and South American wines provides excellent pairing for a fine dining experience.

Behind Modus is Sam Genkov, owner of the 23-year-old District favourite Bravi Ristorante.

    The lobster pasta dish was outstanding. Highly seasoned perfect for my taste. I was warned by our host it was spicy. It was perfect. Delicious. And, just the right portion size. The restaurant could use better signage for where to enter/exit at night, etc.

    Great food and service. Not good value for pasta and salad. I understand its expensive real estate. Probably best for expense dining
