We were in the area and looking for pasta and Little Anthony's was across the street so we went in. It was empty but still early (5:45) on a Saturday night. I wasn't looking for a fine dining experience so my fault for not perusing a menu first but the staff give a whole new meaning to 'up-sell'. We were... More

Staff doesn't seem happy to be there, average food, & $16 glass of wine is a bit excessive. Decor is nice. Left wishing for a better experience.

Portions were just right and very authentic Italian cuisine. Great atmosphere. Dessert menu was extra exciting.

The retaurant is open and spacious. The service is of the highest caliber. The food is well prepared, with a good variety of choice and interesting. It has Italian influence as a base but explores outside the norm for such a classification. It is ideal for anyone going to a performance at the 4 seasons centre. (Given the spelling of... More

Mediocre Italian food in downtown Toronto, wehre there is really no good Italian restaruant any more. Mediocre service. I had to retun the main dish, a pasta, as it was starngely seasoned adn had an unusual taste. A simple meal of a very small plate of fetuccine bolognese adn two glasses of a mediocre Valpolicella red wine set me back... More

We went here for lunch recently and enjoyed an excellent chicken parmesan. The service was professional, kept our water full, and was not intrusive during our meeting. My client enjoyed the fresh pasta with duck confit. We'll be back.

I ate here with co-workers while on a business trip in Toronto. Most of us had the "set dinner" -- part of a Toronto-wide winter foodie celebration. Appetizer/entree/dessert -- that was definitely the best value on the menu. We all ordered a different combination, and enjoyed our meal. The one person who didn't order iff the set menu felt he...

This was a belated Valentine's Day celebration - so I guess I was expecting a more romantic venue, which this place isn't. Windows and mirrors all around - it could have been a diner, although price-wise it certainly isn't. Average main is around $28 - $30. I had the lamb osso bucco, meat was tender and tasty but I was... More

Had a dinner here, enjoyed the Sea Bass Civiche salad and Calamari a la Plancha as apps - very good and a different twist on both dishes from other Italian Restaurants. Dinner was pasta, all looked like it was made in-house, appropriate portions. Respectable wine list.

My colleagues and I ate dinner at LIttle Anthony's recently and we were very impressed with everything this restaurant had to offer. All the staff, from the hostess to our server and the bus boys were very friendly and helpful. Although this restaurant looks to be "fine dining", the staff is very approachable and there is no element of snobbery... More
