About the restaurant

In the fall of 2005, brothers Vince, John Paul and Andrew Angheloni (AKA "The Boy's" to all of the regulars) opened Solstice Restaurant & Wine Bar™ in Clarkson Village. Being raised in a family that was always involved in the restaurant business, the brothers share a passion for food, wine, and all things culinary. Their vision was to share this passion with the community and create a restaurant that is not only exceptional quality & value, but warm and inviting as well.

Financial District

About the restaurant

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.

Our veal and salmon selections were beautifully styled and delicious. Service was prompt and attentive. All in all, a wonderful dining experience.

About the restaurant

Chef Rob Rossi & David Minicucci, have collaborated to bring a genuine neighbourhood restaurant to Dufferin Grove.

Designed by acclaimed architect Guido Costantino, a beguiling interior sets the stage for a convivial dining experience that honours traditional Italian fare while showcasing stand-out ingredients.

Original brick and beam frame this warm, welcoming space where no detail is left unconsidered.
Copper, Italian wool and red oxidized steel accents interplay with blonde wood and terrazzo, creating a rich, textured environment.

We look forward to welcoming you soon.

Been here probably 10 times and every time is always amazing. Food is great, service is great, ambiance is always nice. Cocktails are very good. A must to get the gelato every single time, it changes often.

A couple girlfriends and I got out for some much needed time together. Everything was fantastic! The food was SO delicious (Il Buco was able to manage our many allergies and dietary restrictions at the table), the service was awesome (friendly and just the right speed with a little sprinkle of humour) and the atmosphere was lovely. Thank you for a great evening out. We will absolutely be back!
