A great place for a night out - Edit
How nice to go out for a meal and receive a completely plant based menu with several options for appetizers and mains. So much to choose from but decided to start with the avocado cashew caesar and the oriecchette fungi as my main. The salad was freshly made and not overly dressed- crispy and flavourful.
Read moreI love mushrooms and the oriecchette fungi was tasty, creamy and full of flavour.
I enjoyed both dishes and was looking forward to the vegan tiramisu I had heard about but found out no more ( 😢) and only sorbets and vegan creme brulee were on offer. Had really hoped for better vegan dessert options.
Nice, relaxing atmosphere though a bit more attentive service ( refilling water glasses, asking how meal was) would have been good as not overly busy.

Full Plant-Based Menu - Edit
So happy I visited here during my last night in Toronto. Founded in 1986, this spot is provides authentic and delicious Italian food, providing a full plant-based menu—appetizers, pizza, pasta, wine, and deserts. Highly recommended.

Delicious vegan Italian food. - Edit
Had to try the Spaghetti Bolognese (made with Impossible plant-based ground) because it’s my comfort food - it did not disappoint! Wish I saved room for dessert because a plant-based crème brûlée was on offer. Maybe next time!

Delicious! - Edit
So happy they have such an extensive vegan menu. Italian is one of my fave cuisines and it can be hard to find vegan Italian that is not fast food in Toronto. Really enjoyed the food here.
Read moreThe plant based pepperoni slices on our pizza was pretty thick - thought we mistakenly received the fennel sausage. Delicious nonetheless😄absolutely love their vegan cheese.
The crème brûlée had a pudding/flan texture, not quite a custard but it was still very good.

Great staff, great food! - Edit
Love that this spot has a fully vegan menu, they even have a section for vegan wines, too.
Read moreReally great pizza (the carrot salmon pizza is especially good imo), and a nice selection of pastas.
You're even offered vegan parmesan or cracked black pepper which is a nice touch.
We were also treated to a plant-based creme Brule which had phenomenal flavourful and a nice crunchy top.
If you want to check this place out on a weekend, I'd recommend making a reservation. It's pretty busy, you'll soon see why! 😊
Pros: Pizzas, Great staff, Vegan wine options

Full vegan menu - Edit
The menu has an entire page of vegan options - appetizers, pizza, pasta dishes. Everything sounded so good, and it was hard to decide. I ended up with manicotti and enjoyed the pumpkin inside. Get the cheesy garlic bread. Do not hesitate or question it, just do it.

This is the go-to place for family get together's!

They've got at least 4 appetizers, 8 ish vegan pizzas, 5 or 6 pasta dishes, a Beyond Meat Burger and a few desserts. Hands down their BRUNCH is the best of their vegan options. Get the Benny !!!!

Good Option for Group Outings - Edit
We really appreciate that Il Fornello introduced a vegan menu, especially as there aren't as many veg options in the east end! I really enjoy the Avocado Caesar salad, and my husband likes the pasta made with Beyond Meat. It's now a great option for going out with non-veg friends or family as everyone can get what they want.
