La Scogliera Italian Cuisine — Restaurant in Toronto

Fri Nov 18, 2022, 6:30pm Delicious food, great service, fair prices

We were greeted quickly upon entry by 2 servers. Our server that evening was friendly, kind, and attentive throughout our meal. She lit a candle at our table, which provided nicer ambiance with the lowered lighting. We got a cushioned booth, very cozy.

There's a wall separating the sports bar area. It wasn't crazy noisy for Friday early evening. There was quite background music playing in the dining area. From our booth, we could view -but not hear- the TVs (news & sports) in the bar-area through upper panels of glass on the dividing wall. This is great if you have a partner/friend who doesn't want to miss the game, while dining.

Cajun-Fried Calamari Appetizer: cooked just right. Tender, not chewy. Perfect to share between 2 adults. Tasty dip.

Lamb Entree: delicious! Tender, moist, cooked to order (medium rare), great assortment of roasted vegetables , flavourful mushroom gravy & mashed potatoes. *affordably priced

Chicken Parmigiano Entree: Yum! Also tender & moist. Mozzarella cheese layer looked like it would be a bit heavy, BUT it was perfect! Served with roasted vegetables & penne pasta with marinara sauce.

*Server offered freshly grated parmesan & grated pepper upon serving our entrees. *Cloth napkins when dining in

Note: The side roasted vegetables help set their dinner entrees apart. Usually with a great variety of seasonal/root vegetables, plus carrots & broccoli. Also, not oily. Side dishes are often an afterthought at chain restaurants. You can taste the thoughtfulness & care put into each dish at La Scogliera.

We've been repeat customers for several years. Highly recommend dining at La Scogliera to anyone near the...

Me and my boyfriend have been coming here since 2021 and it has become our date night destination ❤️

The staff is always friendly and helpful and the food is always amazing( not just saying that). The servers are ready to serve you the second you walk in :) Even if they're busy (on holidays), they will always make sure you know that they see you and didnt forget that you are waiting.

The servers are awesome and are just great in general. Personally I've noticed that they adapt to their customer. For example, if the group jokes around sarcastically they will also join in on their vibe :) If the group is calm and just wants to grab a bite to eat, they will follow their vibe aswell. It's so great to see

My two favorite servers at this restaurant are hands down Maddy and Martha They're such a breath of fresh air. They're always in a good mood and know us so well. It's ike we're going to a family members house for dinner.

BTW it is a great little spot to enjoy a drink and watch the games ! Just ask which game and they will put it on (if it's not on already ) Comfy seats In the bar area if you don't like stools while watching games:)

Just stop reading and get over there...

From outside it looks more like convenient store. Interrior is like a sports bar. They even have a separate menu with beers and wings... We found this place on Google maps after hiking through Scarborough beaches. Until we got our dishes we could not believe that we are in the restaurant. But our expectations were more than met. We had amazing paella and duck leg. We will definitely come back again to try pizza. Update 2022: We came back with kids this time. Unfortunately they do not have an outside patio anymore. But I must say, their pizza is the best in Toronto! Update 2024: It's our family tradition to visit this place every September. Pizza spoiled this year, cheap dough, looks like it's frozen, not fresh made. However food is still great, duck leg and beef ribs are our favorite. Beer is great. I would advise you to refresh the interior adding more cosy lights and improve the ugly ceiling. Also make better quality music (equipment and sound...
