About this restaurant

  • Charming
  • Good for groups
  • Great for happy hour
Our food is a reflection of the melting pot of cultures that has gentrified the Queen West neighbourhood in Toronto. The menu has been designed for guests to share plates, in an effort to create a convivial and social dining experience.

Our Wood-Fire Pizzas are a cross between Roma and Neapolitan styles; cooked in a wood-burning M.A.M pizza oven imported from Italy. It yields a crust that is thin but sturdy. Wood-fire capabilities are critical for our menu as the flavour imparted on the food is exceptional and unique.

Our cocktails are equally thought out as our food. Our bartenders serve up a no-nonsense cocktail program featuring fresh, seasonal ingredients that are all made in house.

    Both host and our server were super friendly. The service was 10/10, as were the food and drinks. Vibes are cool and I loved the decor. Would definitely go here again!

    Everyone at the restaurant made our night just prefect. From the moment you step in , to the bar to the table , everyone is super nice , friendly and welcoming! The food is always so good . No matter what you go for , it’s never a miss! I waited for my party at the bar and the barman said he loved the Brussel sprouts, so ordered them with the steak tartar , both were delicious! One of my favorite spots in Toronto! Never disappoints ! Thank you team

    Pizza was too mushy crust. Not crunchy at all cheese topping was should I say a bit sweet? Rest was all good. Don't get the pizza if you don't want soggy crust.

    Always good food, friendly staff, and a relaxed atmosphere. Conveniently located if you're seeing a show at The Great Hall, with plenty of parking close by, and direct access to the Queen streetcar.

    The food was good enough but service on this particular Saturday evening was pretty bad. Didn’t get service for the first 20 minutes until we waved someone down, and then didn’t get drinks for at least another 20 until we asked about them. Still not sure who our server was supposed to be because nobody seemed to want to help us even though there seemed to be a ton of staff.

    This is probably my 3rd or 4th time dining here. The food, as usual, was great! We ordered wine, the spicy brussel sprouts, sourdough bread, margarita pizza, and the burger. All very good! The ambience was great! Our server was just ok. It took a good 20 minutes before she asked us for our order. And she wasn't very friendly when we asked a question about a dish or when we paid our bill.

    The food was phenomenal. We had the Bulgogi short ribs and the Natalina pizza. The ambiance was cool and it had great music. Overall a great experience for our date night.

    Great experience for an after-work dinner with my coworker at Good Son! Happened to be there for a $29 steak frites special they had and it was delicious (including the shoestring fries). I’m not even fully sure why they did, but they comp’ed one round of drinks—probably because they initially brought us a wrong one at first, but it was great customer service. I’ll be back!
