Regina Pizzeria & Trattoria

My all time favorite Italian place to eat at. From the pizza to the mussels, all delicious. Livio and the rest of the staff are very professional. Highly recommend.

When I got into this restaurant I felt like I was really in Italy, that’s awesome because you are looking for that when you want real italian food… Yes, REAL ITALIAN FOOD!
There is a lot to choose from the menu, and everything I tried was good! The pesto pasta was amazing, the garlic bread was very good, the ravioli my friend got was also super yumme…
This is what I’m looking for when I want Italian food!
The portions are good, not huge, and the price is good as well.
I really can’t wait to go back.
The waiter was very nice, I want to say he was italian? (That made my visit even more real :))
So, if you are looking for great italian food with an italian experience, don’t hesitate to come here!!!

Had a good delivery experience a while back and decided we had to try dining in. I don’t recommend steak for delivery. At least I hope it was overlooked because it was delivered.
Went back last night and the food was so delicious.
Food: We had seafood linguine and clam linguine, both with tomato sauce instead of the white wine sauce. The cold cut antipasto with cheese and veggies was the perfect size for two. Would be small for more people and items would have to be cut to be shared. We loved the linguine pescatore so much that we cleaned the plate and barely any sauce was left.
Drinks: Cosmo was ok. Caesar was watery and left untouched after a couple of sips. I don’t like to waste but it was mainly water so not much of a waste. They have one of my favourite wines (ripasso valpolicella), so cannot complain there.
Service: our server was attentive, picked up cues even while subtle (menus down, half empty water glasses, catching of eyes for longer than a second, etc.). I’d try to be in his area of returning. The older gentleman was a little gruff. Asking us to take our napkins so he can remove the wine glasses before our food even arrived. As though it would be such a bother to wash them if they were touched.

My mother was Calabrese, and these guys are from Calabria. The food here was authentic, delicious, and high quality. The owners accommodated our large party, and the only reason I held back the fifth star was because they were a little short-​staffed and service suffered a little. But I would go back for the great food, prepared by the owners themselves.
We had a couple pizzas to start, fried calamari and shrimp, caprese salad, and family style Caesar and house salads. All outstanding. Of the 16 people dining, 10 grew up in an Italian family and the others have Italian in-​laws. EVERYONE loved their entrees. As long as the same Paesani are in the kitchen cooking with Calabrian love, I highly recommend Regina.

We came here last week in hopes of wholesome Italian food and we certainly were not disappointed. The restaurant is charming and quaint, while the staff is very attentive and happy to serve. We ordered a pizza and a fettuccine – both were very tasty and fairly priced. We intend to come back and try some more dishes.

Delivery. Regina has been around a long time. Its been around since I was a kid when lived around that area. I live downtown King and Church and was pleasantly surprised that they delivered all the way down here a few years ago. Always nice people when you place an order. I always enjoyed the Pizza, Regina Special and have ordered sandwiches and pastas from here as well never disappoints. Always good food and the delivery is actually quick. They are still around for one simple reason… the food is good !!!

Amazing Italian pizza! Fresh and pipping hot when they delivered it. We also ordered the gnocchi with rose sauce but the portion was so small for $ 15. Really disappointed about that. Overall awesome experience with them:)

My friend had recommended this place to me, although I live in Richmond hill myself and few friends made the drive just to visit reginas and it was well worth it! Pizza was so fresh, and it was obvious how fresh and homemade the pasta was. Can’t wait to go back!

Great, simple Italian food. It’s the only place we’ll confidently take my wife’s grandma when she comes to town.

Came to this restaurant the other day since its an area I visit often.
Sat down at a table and the first thing we noticed was how the utensils and plates didn’t feel properly cleaned. My wife’s wine glass still had red wine that was dried up and definitely not cleaned. We and another table were the only ones in the restaurant so it wasn’t busy.
We told the waitress and while she gladly took it away, not even an apology. Not a great first impression.
I ordered the lasagne which was decent and fairly large. Could likely share it if you got something lighter like a salad with someone else. Server brought grated cheese over but at these places that seem authentic Italian, I would’ve expected freshly grated parm. (Maybe that’s not the norm in Italy?)
At the time we paid the bill, I asked for change from a $ 20 since we were splitting with a few friends. They had no $ 5 bills they could provide. This wasn’t late at nite, this was 6pm on a weekday.
All in all, not a pleasant experience and figure a restaurant that’s been around a bit longer would’ve avoided these minor mistakes.

Had Spaghetti & Meatballs and Lasagna. Was fabulous! Real tangy Italian homemade sauce. Nothing bland about these meals. A lovely cosy atmosphere and nice staff. The coke was cold with lemon made it perfect to taste. Oil & Vinegar with fresh bread, perfecto! We thoroughly enjoyed our dinner! VERY reasonably priced! Will definitely return!

Parked right by the Paintlounge, my friend and I stopped in for a bite before one of our painting workshops.
Just by the sight of the white table clothes and cloth napkins, I knew that it would be a bit of a splurge.
Pros:
— Pretty environment. Each table is lined with a white table cloth, and cutlery set neatly lined up. The restaurant opens up to the street, so you get the fresh air and sunshine streaming in. You feel strangely fancy eating here.
— Food tastes good, and all the ingredients seem fairly fresh. I ordered the Quattro Stagioni pizza, which had prosciutto, artichokes and mushrooms. I found the artichokes to be very fibrous and difficult to eat, however.
Cons:
— Pricey. A small pizza was$ 16.95. While my friend and I split the pizza and the bill, it was a particularily light lunch
— Service and speed. The pizza took a long time to come, and additionally it wasn’t piping hot. It was for some reason. lukewarm, even though my friend and I were the only diners at that restaurant at that time.
This place was very convenient lunch spot considering it is right next to Paintlounge. However in future I am planning on exploring the other pizzeria options in Little Italy.

Terrible service (felt like we were an inconvenience to the waiter), mediocre food, and over priced. There are far better Italian restaurants out there so don’t waste your time at this one.

Have been a loyal client for over 20 yrs, food has always been excellent and price fair and reasonable. Always a great meal with great service from all there, bravo to Vince and Lee.

Came here on Friday, after a long week. My girlfriend got the Spaghetti Carbonara (My cooking specialty, but I wasn’t too offended) and I opted for the Gnocchi in Cream Sauce with Gorgonzolla.
The Pasta was good and the sauce was very creamy and strong, which I like. The Gnocchi, while not the best I’ve had, was certainly passable. The Portions were a good size and a fair price.

It’s a good restaurant to enjoy with the family friends or your couple…
Nice clean and friendly restaurant and staff
Good nice and enjoyable food

A gem in Little Italy!
It reminds me so much of my grandmothers cooking. Huge portions, a lot of quality ingredients and flavour, and a lot of love in the food. The atmosphere really adds to all of this as well, as it has an «old school Italian» look.
My boyfriend and I went for dinner. We had a bottle of wine to share. $ 27 for a bottle of white is very reasonable, and the waiter did a little ‘wine test’ before we bought the bottle. I ordered the Cesar salad to start, and had fettuccine Alfredo for my main. Both were extremely generous portions, and both were so rich and creamy. My boyfriend had the salmon penne-​it was so flavourful and they did not skimp on the salmon.
If you’re looking for really authentic Italian resturant on college, skip Standard or Vivoli and head to Regina’s instead. You can tell its a family run place, with a really close knit team behind them. Will keep returning again and again.

One of my all time favourite local restaurants! Totally family run and I’ve been going her for a while, the make everything there and it doesn’t taste like Rago like most Italian restaurants. Portions are huge and its at a great price. The staff is always friendly and honestly it’s the best bang for the buck when craving Italian in Toronto

Quite a few reviews echo my feelings on this place so I won’t go into a long review.
FOOD: I ordered the Penne Regina and I loved it. The portion was a large size and I could’ve easily taken half of it home. However, I am a pig and ate it all.
SERVICE: The service sucked. Our waiter took forever to take our orders, forever to bring bread to the table, forever to bring our order and then we sat at our table, wondering if he would ever come over with the bill. Eventually we got up from the table and walked to the front; as we did, they had our bill ready. I guess we were just supposed to know that we should pay at the front.
I would probably get take-​out from here if I was craving that pasta again but I doubt I would go here willingly to eat again.

Pas mal du tout: leur pizza à l’ancienne est très agréable, les pâtes se mangent bien. J’y suis passé bien 5 ou 6 fois en quelques mois, toujours bien reçu, excellent service et peut-​être, je dis bien peut-​être, le dernier restaurant véritablement authentique dans ce quartier italien.

The BEST PIZZA in the GTA there nothing better.
I grew eating there food and all there dishes are great.
Great dinning on College St Toronto.
