    I can’t say enough good things about the experience! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm and inviting. The service was amazing. The staff was friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable about the menu. As for the food, it was absolutely delicious. We tried the garlic knots yummm, the rigatoni bolognese, and sweet potato cheesecake, hands down must try. I highly recommend this place. I’ll definitely be back!

    Stefano's has filled a major void in the plant-based scene here in Toronto! Nobody else is serving elevated comfort classics like this that are both vegan and Italian inspired. It feels simultaneously like you're at a cool spot on Ossington but also at your Nonna's house. Mozzarella Sticks are a MUST, the plant-based brie is the perfect combination of components (really love the taste and texture of the crostini it came with). The Smash Burger is 10/10. Also enjoyed the Aracini, Filet O Fish and Cheesecake. Sean and Kylie did an incredible job taking care of us.
