    Some of the dishes were not as good as we expected, especially the risotto and lobster. However, the duck was really good.

    Amazing ambiance. Views were spectacular. Service impeccable. Bathrooms were pretty cool too! Meal was delicious but pricey although not outrageous for this type of restaurant. Definitely worth a visit with the tasting menu a must on your first time here.

    My pasta was very dry and under cooked. Great presentation but an almost non existent flavour profile. The desserts were flavourful but not remotely worth the price.

    This restaurant certainly lives up to its reputation. Although we did not have the opportunity to experience the "tasting menu", the a-la-carte menu was outstanding. The service was impeccable, as well as the ambiance. We will definitely be returning.

    Beautiful views, excellent, very conscientious and seamless service. We ordered from the a la carte menu and found the dishes all quite good but the star of the show was the dessert-- so clever, inventive, and varied in flavour, texture, and temperature, without being too rich or too sweet. Would 100% return specifically for the desserts.

    I would say the concepts of the place (like the martini four ways) are still in the "theoretical" phase. I expected better quality food and execution for the price.

    My wife and I came here to celebrate our wedding anniversary. Due to some recent medical challenges for my wife, she was not able to partake in the tasting menus and the restaurant was extremely accommodating to her needs. Our waiter, Regan, made sure my wife felt included throughout the evening regardless of her menu selection. While it might seem trivial to some, it meant the world to my wife. We really want to thank and appreciate Regan for making our night so memorable for us both! Food was amazing - if you’re on the fence, definitely bite the bullet! There is a reason it’s one of the top Italian restaurants outside of Italy! Will definitely return :)

    After a smooth ride up to the 38th floor in a glass elevator, we were treated to elevated hospitality in an elegant and inviting setting with breathtaking panoramic views of the Toronto skyline. The service is flawless (Rachel, you were fabulous!) and the food is exceptionally delicious and well executed. Based on my prior dining experiences, I would give Don Alfonso a second Michelin star. Be prepared to open your wallet, but you will not be disappointed. Highly recommended for a memorable evening in TO.

    For a restaurant with a reputation like this, the dishes weren’t as good as one would reasonably expect. Some of the dishes were served lukewarm and the white wine wasn’t chilled. Unfortunately, at that point one cannot help but think about the value compared to the price you’re expected to pay for dining at an establishment as this. We are happy to report that the service was impeccable.

    The food was amazing. Every course artfully presented on beautiful dishes. Melt in your mouth Bison tenderloin. Our favourite course was the pasta with mackerel. Our only complaint was the noise level. If you closed your eyes, you could imagine you were in a cafeteria or a food court. Definitely need some carpeting or other sound buffer. It really detracted from the elegance of the place.
