We love great food and restaurants, and are very demanding. Sammarco is exceptional, one of the best meals we've had. Great food. Great service. Great physical space. The radichio salad is incredible. The fish was great. I'm not a fan of squid, but you have to try these! Steak was great, prawns also. Pretty much a perfect meal. Do yourself a favour!

Amazing! The first thing you notice is the gorgeous decor. The service is polished, attentive, and warm.

I started with a cocktail that was tasty. The food followed suit: fresh, delicious flavors and excellent presentation. You can tell the team here really cares about the guest experience. Thank you Marco and Aiden for a great night! :)

Andrew was an amazing bartender food was phenomenal and restaurant was beautiful. It was my first time dinning there and the staff made it feel like I’ve known them for years. Amazing experience.
Second time dinning at Sammarco and it was just as good as my first time if not better. Staff is always exceptional always welcoming you and making you feel welcomed. Now let’s talk about the food easily some of the best I had in Toronto. The blue fin tuna and foie gras is absolutely world class better than the one they serve at three Michelin Star Le Bernardin I really mean that. The 100 egg fettuccine is also an absolute standout in conversation for best pasta dish in the city for me absolutely phenomenal. Gamberi Americano is another standout it’s a must order easily one of the best seafood dishes I had. And lastly, the duck it is an absolutely perfected dish. No duck I had in Toronto comes close to the one I had at three Michelin Star Eleven Madison Park but this one id put right up there with it it’s perfection. Amazing experience once again.

Our party of 5 dined at Sammarco recently. Phenomenal service, delicious food, and a great atmosphere.

The 100 egg fettuccine was delicious and extremely rich, although maybe not for everyone. Steaks were cooked beautifully. The prawns were a standout. Our entire table was also raving about the brocollini; lovely sear and flavours. Every dish was a hit, and every bite was amazing.

Great staff recommendations as well, they seemed very knowledgeable. The cocktails were all delicious too!

Book this restaurant to celebrate my boyfriend’s birthday last night. Honestly had the most wonderful time and service was impeccable. From coat checking our jackets to our server who served our table.

We ordered the bread to start and it was delicious! Proceeded with the squid and tuna crudo. Omg were these delicious. I especially loved the tuna crudo- definitely a MUST when you visit. For the main, I ordered the ribeye steak , it was cooked perfectly to medium rare how we liked it and the steak was truly really good. As a side we ordered broccolini and chefs kiss delicious!! Dessert we ordered the chocolate cake- BEST chocolate cake I’ve had so far in Toronto. Honestly. It was delicious!!! My boyfriend isn’t a sweet tooth and he finished his half portion.

Highly recommended. I will be back for sure. I loved everything from start to finish.

We were dissatisfied with our dining experience. The steak was unacceptably veiny and served cold. The fettuccine, while palatable, was significantly overpriced given the small portion size. The Moscow Mule I ordered was of poor quality. The fries were comparable to those found at a fast-food establishment. Our total bill for four individuals was nearly $800, which we found to be excessive for the quality of food received. Overall, we believe the establishment is overrated.

Spectacular experience for my husband’s birthday. We sat at the bar and the service from the entire team was incredible. The bartenders were extremely charming and knowledgeable, the sommelier made a wonderful recommendation based on our preferences. We even had a server come over and say “I noticed you looking at the steak we just dropped off, that’s the 18oz etc etc”… he saw us wonder (cuz it looked amazing) and answered our question without us having to ask. They also brought out a wooden platform so that my bag wouldn’t have to be on the ground. The doorman and hostess greeting was so warm and welcoming. Gorgeous room and details on the dinnerware and napkins etc. The food was gorgeous and exciting.

High prices, but the prices are warranted if you value an amazing experience from the second you arrive to the second you leave. You get what you pay for here.

Beautiful venue, attentive staff. Decent food. Steak is good but it is just steak and you can do the equivalent at home for less. The real stars are the sauces. We had the jumbo prawns - amazing. Sea food tower great but probably too much for just two - just enough for four. The waiter suggested the rizzoto - he was spot on. Full of crab it was a treat. The zucchini flowers and the cream sauce were great. The pine apple bomb looked amazing but I don’t like pineapple so my dinner companions enjoyed that thoroughly. I had the chocolate cake which everyone loved.

Sammarco just opened in May 2025 and it’s already one of Toronto’s best fine dining experiences. From the moment we arrived, service was flawless—our server Erika was incredible. She knew exactly what to recommend, and everything she suggested was perfect. You can tell the staff have worked in high-end restaurants before; they’re polished, professional, and genuinely pleasant.

The food was absolutely outstanding—10/10. The starters, especially the Iberico pork pieces and the lamb, were next-level. Every dish was executed with precision and depth of flavour you only get at the very top tier of dining.

Having eaten at multiple Michelin restaurants, I can confidently say Sammarco is on track to earn one very soon. Highly recommend for anyone looking for an exceptional meal in Toronto.

Food is very mediocre and extremely overpriced for what it tastes like. The hundred egg noodle is a money grab and tastes salty (No better than Domino's chicken Alfredo because at least they got chicken in it). The rice is undercooked and hard to chew. The lamb is musky. The steak is better but salty too.
Very loud and hard to talk without screaming.
Service is below expectation too. I asked napkin for the 3 of us and yet got only 2.
I'm writing this review from the toilet right now because I had a stomachache after eating that rice. And my friends told me that they are being rushed to leave because the restaurant wants to make money with the next guests.
I regret paying them $50 for the tip.
Will not visit again. Will recommend anyone I know against coming here.

My original friend couldn’t join me for this meal due to dietary restrictions. But what a lovely surprise it turned out to be! Sammmarco is officially my favourite restaurant of 2025.

I was initially unsure of what to expect, especially after reading the mixed Google reviews, but I’m so glad I gave it a chance. From start to finish, it was an absolutely fantastic and divine evening. The service was attentive and gracious, and every dish was thoughtfully prepared. In my opinion, both the experience and the meal are well worth the price.

Sammmarco opened back in May, and it’s clear they’ve hit their stride.

What we ordered:
- ELORA ST MARTIN’S STRIPLOIN (surprisingly great marbling and probably the best bang for your buck)
- LA MORTAZZA (mortadella with truffle)
- CRUDO DI TONNO (tuna crudo and a sell out every night)
- PATATE FORMAGGIO (highly recommend but it is quite decadent for potatoes)
- WATERMELON ANGURIA SODA
- TORTA CIOCCOLATO (highly recommend; it’s moist, delicious and definitely sharable)

Dining at Sammarco was an exceptional experience from start to finish. The moment you step into the space, you’re struck by the sheer beauty of the room. The décor is sophisticated and modern. Some areas feature classic white table cloths, while others boast a dramatic dark marble tables surrounded by plush seating, or a stunning inlaid wood table with elegant geometric patterns. Soft lighting and carefully arranged floral displays create an atmosphere that is both luxurious and inviting.

The food was phenomenal across the board. A few highlights include the grilled calamari, perfectly tender with pangrattato that let the fresh flavor shine through while adding some crisp texture. The frito misto was another standout — an irresistible mix of delicately fried seafood, served with a 1/3 lemon which had the seeds/pulp removed, showing that no detail is overlooked.

The mid course was the inimitable 100-egg fettuccine alla scrofa. The sauce was rich and silky - beautifully balanced - coating the fresh noodles in layers of savory flavor. Kudos to SAMMARCO for showing their depth and creativity by featuring one knockout pasta to complement the menu.

Among the mains, the filetto was cooked to a perfect medium-rare, tender and seasoned with finesse. The branzino was equally impressive—moist, flaky, and accented by subtle herbs and tomato coulis that elevated the fish without overpowering it. The snow crab risotto was creamy and comforting, showcasing precisely the al dente bite you hope for in a great risotto.

To finish, the profiteroles were the ideal sweet note—light choux pastry filled with luscious cream and topped with decadent chocolate. My expectations were set so high at this point in the evening, I didn’t think it was possible that dessert could elevate the night to another plateau. Be prepared to transcend the realm of the typical dessert course.

Overall, Sammarco delivers not just an outstanding meal but an immersive dining experience in a beautiful setting, with exceptional service, and a master sommelier’s wine & cocktail list. Highly recommended for any special occasion or simply when you want to treat yourself to an unforgettable dinner.

I really wanted to love this place but instead was completely disappointed. The food was incredibly bland and extremely overpriced. We spent $100 dollars on cheese and egg pasa, something I could have easily made at home. I was expecting something memorable or elevated but instead it was the size of my small hand. The fries were over $20 dollars and tasted like the frozen kind you can get from a grocery store. Nothing about the flavours or presentation justified these ridiculous prices.

Service was mediocre at best. We were repeatedly pressured to order more, even after clearly saying we were good. On top of that, the server didn’t even acknowledge my boyfriend’s birthday, which was the entire reason we were there.

In total, we spent $500 and for that kind of money, we could have gone to an actual Michelin-starred restaurant and had an exceptional experience. If you want to blow your money on basic, flavorless food, this might be your place. But I’d recommend looking elsewhere.

I don’t remember the last time I went to a restaurant and had such amazing service. When I arrived, my table wasn’t ready so we were offered a seat in the private room while we wait for a table. The private room was so beautiful. We decided to have our whole meal there we were constantly checked up on and catered to. The staff was amazing. The food was amazing and the atmosphere and vibe were spectacular. We will definitely be back And thank you so much for the amazing date night
