  The dining room was white linen and very somber. The maitre d was quite brusque and impatient in explaining the menu. The other staff were more friendly. My friend and I shared the artichokes which were very nice although canned. I had the gnocchi which was so so and the sauce very acidic and needed salt. I had to ask for for more water. Overall mediocre.

  Had dinner at Boccaccio the other night with a friend. It was my first time at this restaurant and I chose it based on web reviews and the fact it was conveniently located for both my friend and I. While it was ok overall, I was hoping for a better experience. Firstly, the restaurant was virtually empty despite it being around 7pm. There was no soft background music either so it was so quiet you could hear a pin drop. Too quiet actually. The menus were a bit stained and "worn" looking. That would not have bothered me if it was a low-end restaurant, but given Boccaccio's price point, this should not have been the case. We shared the fried artichokes and they were very good, although I was expecting fresh artichokes vs canned. Nonetheless, they were tasty and we enjoyed them. I had the gnocchi and while the gnocchi themselves were soft and light (definitely homemade), the tomato sauce was a bit acidic. Almost like it was under-cooked. My friend had the daily fish special. It was cooked perfectly and she said it was delicious. I had the creme brullee for dessert. It was ok. The service was good. Wait staff was very professional and attentive. They knew exactly when to come and fill water glasses and ask if we needed anything. So overall it was ok but I will not be coming back as I have other Italian restaurants in the city that I enjoy more both for ambiance and food.

  The best Italian food in Toronto and I think probably the best in Canada. Born in Toscany, being myself a gourmet cook, just for my family and friends, I know good cuisine when I taste it and I may assure you that Boccaccio serves the best real Italian.
