La Vecchia Restaurant Lakeshore

I had another amazing experience at La Vecchia Restaurant! The pasta always tastes incredibly fresh, and the tomato sauce is rich and full of flavor. The staff and servers are amazing, consistently friendly, attentive, and welcoming. The restaurant is spotless every time, which makes the dining experience even better. It’s always my go-to place for both business and personal dinners. Highly recommended!

From the moment I walked in, the staff was absolutely amazing — warm, welcoming, and genuinely attentive. Every single person, from the host and servers to the events team and management, went above and beyond to make the experience flawless. You can truly feel the pride and passion behind the service. The ribeye steak was exceptional — perfectly cooked and bursting with flavor. The pasta was fresh, authentic, and beautifully seasoned, and the tiramisu was the dreamiest way to end the night — light, creamy, and decadent without being too sweet. Between the food, the ambiance, and the incredible team, La Vecchia easily stands out as one of Toronto’s best dining experiences. Can’t wait to come back!

A gem on the Lakeshore. Although we went for early dinner during late fall it was still too dark to see the water. But that did not affect the experience of the restaurant. Celebrating two birthdays and we were not disappointed. Exceptional ambiance, food and service... There was aldo an old Italian black and white movie playing in the background.. What more is there to ask for? Each dish was expertly prepared. Even the simple offer of focaccia came with sundried tomatoes which were perfectly balanced and not too acidic. We also had the Burrata which was very good and the Melanza Alla Parmagiana was exquisite! For dinner the table ordered the Margherita Pizza, Agnello Al Forno (Lamb Shank), Diano Marina (Veal Scallopini) , Costine Brasate (Braised Short Rribs), Seanal Pasta Special and Tagliatelle Al Pollo (Pesto Chicken Pasta). To finish off we had the best Tiramisu we have had in a long time! Definitely will come again.

Absolutely enjoyed the experience here tonight Our server Alex was amazing! I loved the ambiance; the space is beautiful, especially the bar area! Some highlights: The short ribs were fall-off-the-bone good. I loved the burrata with the roasted grapes, prosciutto, and arugula The beet salad was also refreshing! My favourite go-to wine is the pinot noir from Rosehall Run :) #mustorder

Amazing spot if you’re looking for authentic, flavorful coastal Italian food. The service is fantastic and Stefan made our night a great experience. The Zuppa Di Pesce is a must order, but every dish we had was very appetizing, well cooked and balanced. Dessert is also a must. One of the best cheesecakes I’ve had. Location is a vibe, but might be difficult to find parking. Will definitely be returning!

Had a really great experience, Salvatore The owner is very kind and his staff is amazing. Food quality is top-notch in the location is fantastic. We previously had a hiccough with a reservation and they made tremendous effort to accommodate me and my wife. I’ve been coming here for years, and it’s really great to see how well they take care of us. We had the lamb in the ribs. Cooked two perfection. Dessert was great and the wine selection is also quite good. Not just things you would find in the LCBO.

Loved my experience at La Vecchia Lakeshore location! The Caesar salad was one of the best I’ve had, super fresh with crispy prosciutto and just the right amount of dressing. The fresh pasta with chicken and pesto sauce was creamy, rich, and full of flavour. Ended the meal with a classic tiramisu and latte , a perfect combo. Great service, nice atmosphere, and definitely worth coming back.

I had such a wonderful dinner at La Vecchia Restaurant Lakeshore, it was perfect for a romantic evening. The place has this cozy, intimate vibe with soft lighting and a beautiful lakeshore feel that just draws you in. We ordered the Sacchetti Al Tartufo pasta, which was incredible, these little pasta pouches stuffed with truffle were so flavorful and perfectly cooked. Then the short rib was melt-in-your-mouth tender. We paired it with a Cab S Vina wine, which was smooth and fruity, totally hitting the spot with the food. For dessert, the Tiramisu was out of this world—creamy, not too sweet, with that classic espresso kick. It was the ideal way to end the meal. The service was top-notch too; our server was super friendly. If you’re looking for authentic Italian in a romantic setting, La Vecchia is a gem, can’t wait to go back!
