Like an elegant dining room in a private Florentine Villa, Vinsanto is intimate, relaxing and warm. With its Florentine décor, complete with antique chandeliers, owners John and Marco are ever-ready to assist or chat with diners, as are the entire staff. These two longtime friends quickly established Vinsanto as a favourite venue among patrons, thanks to the winning combination of great-tasting food, attention to detail and sexy ambiance. Talented musicians play live music, creating a classy, vibrant atmosphere. The homemade Gnocchi with Cream Sauce, Linguini Vinsanto, and Grigliata di Pesce are second to none. One word of advice: Leave room for dessert, as the Tiramisu and Crème Brulée are irresistible. 905.264.3991, www.vinsanto.ca

I love this place!
The owner made us feel unwelcome just because we were going to use their gift card to dine there. They made us wait for an hour, since they changed our reservation on their own to accomadate their other guests. Then they limited our dining time to 30 minutes. The treatment was so terrible that we decided to forgo the gift card and dine somewhere else that showed us more respect.
