About this restaurant

Neighborhood gem
Charming
Good for special occasions

Nestled between the iconic CHIN Radio building and The Royal Theatre, Sal's location couldn't be more fitting. The restaurant, named after both Michael Sangregorio and Fabio Bondi's Dads, brings to life a celebration of Italian Canadian cuisine. Both Sals' immigrated to Canada decades ago with little more than a suitcase and a dream. Like many Italian families, they settled along College Street.

The new restaurant is a coming home of sorts. Sal's kitchen will showcase dishes that their families grew up eating and celebrating milestones with.

Excellent food and atmosphere in this College Street bar/restaurant. However, the really amazing service makes it stand out from the pack of Toronto restaurants. This is a must go for diners who are looking for a classically styled restaurant, beautifully cooked and presented food, and friendly, knowledgeable staff.

I love this spot. Service is on point. The space is warm and welcoming. But it's the food and it's awesome. Homemade pastas are the best, creative appetizers and wicked mains. It's important to leave room for dessert.
