I have been there many times with family and friends and the food has been nothing but out of this world. I met with the new chef mimmo who has brought such a great flare to the food
and place. He is very talented and great fit for this place. I love the different specials that are created each day with that home feel to each one. Keep up the great work!!

We've eaten here a few times now and each time the food was very good. The calamari are perfectly dusted in flour and fried and the aiolio dip is so good. Each time we've ordered one of their wood oven pizzas and they were delicious. It can get a bit pricey if you order a 3 course meal (appetizer, main, and dessert). For example my family of 4 went for a nice lunch one afternoon and the bill was $200. But we didn't leave hungry and weren't disappointed. So I guess you get what you pay for. If you're tight for cash, skip the appetizer & dessert and order a main dish. Their alcohol can be pricey too. But overall, a great place to have a nice dinner.

Our family and friends truly love going to Cinquelire for dinner. They have wonderful food (pizza is fabulous!) and spectacular service. They are an excellent family oriented restaurant, we love taking family with small children there, the kids have a blast and love the pizza and gelato. The prices are very fair and they can accomodate any dish to your liking. Amazing restaurant, one of our faves for sure.

I was here for my staff Xmas party and had a great time. The food was better than I expected. Service was friendly and prompt, even with a party of at least 15 people. I had a steak that was well prepared and absolutely gigantic. After a few pizza appetizers I barely had room to finish.

Would definitely go back again.

  So true!
  

  I ordered the cheese pasta with the truffle oil. It was absolutely amazing!

Really nice neighbourhood restaurant with great food. I have to agree with the previous reviewer prices are a bit too high for the portions offered. You should however still give this place a try you won't be too disapointed.

Really Good Fresh Unique Food. FANTASTIC FOOD REALLY……BUT way too pricey for the amount of Food. Great Service too. We had the following and paid about $100.00. Left the restaurant…..HUNGRY!!!!

It was my first visit to CINQUElire but my friend Maddalena's second visit. We shared the fried calamari and shrimp along with a Pizza alla Margarita. Fabulous. We ended the evening with fresh made gelato....very refreshing. The waiters were attentive and friendly. Will have to visit again real soon. The restaurant is open for lunch and dinner.

This has become my favorite resturant. From their appitizers to the main course to their desert you are definitly not disappointed. I had the Insalata Cinquelire, the Dell'orto pizza and buono notte - which is nutella and mascropone cheese on a pizza and hazlenut gelato - to die for! My husband who is italian and his mother who cooks authentic italian to die for cuisine...loved this resturant to!

Wonderful surprise. Fabulous food- great service and beautiful presentation. Extremely clean and well worth the visit.

If I can, I would give 10 stars... Great food and great service. Can not wait to go back

Good service and food. Desserts are great!

Amazing food and the BEST service I have had in Toronto in a long time. Great atmosphere.

Beautiful decor, gracious service, and DELICIOUS food! We ate there three times in less than a month! The only disappointment was that some of the delectable-sounding desserts were not available

I am amazed by the quality of food and how quick the service was very well managed keep it up

First, I must congratulate you on your selection of your name, a smart play on the town in Liguria. Secondly, your menu is simple yet extensive, the service was swift and pleasant, our server did not have a name tag, but he mentioned he had been with the company for 3 months. As of late my husband and I frequent Mercatto on College St. downtown, I would compare the two, however the loud, unpleasant music,put me off and my husband mentioned this to our server, he was gracious receiving our complaint, I think the music was lowered a little. I did enjoy the food and service, but I would think twice about returning because of the noise, have your heard of Moses Znaimer and his take on noisy restaurants? This is my choice and if no one else has complained or leaves your restaurant with a sore throat, then this is totally my problem, thank you for allowing my to voice my opinion, sincerely, Lynda and Cesare Dambrosio.

Went to Cinquelire Restaurant with my family and they really loved it. The kids especially loved the pizza and the grilled calamari. The service by the waiter Sam was excellent and I was very happy that he put a smile on my kids faces. He made us feel very welcomed and I would for sure go back with my family. Thanks Small Sam. ;)

A great night. Small Sam treated us really well. Excellent food. Great ingredients, ambience and prices. This is a real find. We will be back.

Small Sam was a great host and we had the most delicious meal with fine quality ingredients. Prices are thoroughly reasonable for excellent food. We will be returning again and again.

Very good food and service. We would certainly go again!

This local restaurant is like a hidden gem found along Dufferin Street in a nice Italian neighbourhood. The food is very good and reasonably priced. The service is outstanding and they really know how to take care of you whether it's just two or a large group. The pizza is fantastic and they have so many different types to choose from. I've had almost everything on the menu and it's all excellent! The restaurant is decorated really elegantly and they have a cute patio outside and it feels like your out of Toronto. Gotta go there, nice little hang out.

My family and I have been to CINQUElire 4 times and the Pizza is always well made. Pasta is very good also.

Would definatley recommend eating here.

Whatever we asked for was accommodated. Food was fresh and tasty. Unique flavours combined. Very simple menu. Pizza was great. Would definitely order as party starters,very casual great place to go before or after yorkdale movie

Went there for the first time today and it will not be the last, good food, excellent service, Francesco was outstanding, and so were the other young men who brought water, coffee, even a small sample of gelato. We were made to feel appreciated and valued.

Salute!

i realy enjoyed the food and i had "frank" as a server he was the best, very good around customer service. I definitly be back again - hopefully i'll get Frank's as our server again.
