Ufficio Restaurant

Ufficio was a gamble: It has received reviews that meet both ends of the spectrum and has cycled through chefs. Still, we were prepared to give it a go because it offers a unique pescatarian take on Italian food, where fish is the focus. In fact, the menu offered no meat at all.Our reservation was confirmed by the restaurant because the online system booked us for a time before they opened. No big deal, although a sign of things to come. We arrived at 6 pm and were greeted by a staff that was properly attentive but made sure we were not rushed. We were given a choice spot to sit on the comfy custom couches that run the length of the front window so we had a nice view of the streetscape. Ther...

We arrived and were warmly greeting. The staff are all friendly and know the menu and the food. The room is nicely decorated and has a warm feeling. We started off with an expertly prepared Ketel One Martini while we surveyed the menu.

We made our first visit to Ufficio for dinner and wondered why it had taken us so long to discover it. The cuisine is fantastic, the service charming and the ambience of the room wonderful. Our experience confirmed Ufficio as one of our new favourite Toronto dining experiences. The menu is inventive and intriguing and every dish was absolutely delicious. One of our biggest surprises was ending the evening with a flight of Amaros, something we have never seen before even in many trips to Italy. Our highest recommendation is we are heading back for dinner next week. Don't miss unbeatable Ufficio.

From beginning to end the meal was excellent. Excellent service (Jonathan!) Started with excellent apps but for me the grilled octopus was one of the best plates I've had in a long time, a perfect plate. Finished with a nice dessert of chocolate salami and mint pistachio ice cream which was complimentary for our anniversary, nice touch! Definately would go back.
