Casa di Giorgio

1646 Queen St E, Toronto, ON M4L 1G3

Here you’ll find a nice front patio, intimate booths backed by colourful geometric wall coverings, and thin crust pizza that’ll have you singing to the heavens. It’s hard to think of another restaurant where the romance happens so spontaneously and naturally. You can choose from one of the pizzas on the menu, white pizza being a popular choice, create your own, or skip the pies altogether and opt for pasta. But save room for dessert!

Music accompanies your meals at a soft volume so you can whisper sweet nothings to your loved one over a glass of champagne. The wild Irish salmon and AAA Ontario beef tenderloin are top entrees.
