33 Best Restaurants in Toronto, From Québécois to Sushi | Condé Nast Traveler

"People come for the food but can't ignore the cachet; after all, famous past patrons include Justin Bieber, Jon Hamm, Blake Lively, and Drake. Sotto Sotto's Italian cooking is flavorful and filling, but it may not impress food-lovers accustomed to more inventive menus—in some ways being at this restaurant is more important than eating at this restaurant. That said, the seafood risotto (which takes about 40 minutes to prepare) is incredible. And the wine list, dominated by super Tuscans along with a couple of frizzy Franciacortas has a lot of quality, if pricey offerings. Sotto Sotto is a see-and-be-seen spot that will impress anyone you're with, and if you show up during the Toronto International Film Festival you could very well be seated next to an A-lister." - Todd Plummer
