Eden Trattoria

I love Eden their food is worth the money but I can’t stand this sarcastic asshole Andre who works there who personally i find gives the worst customer service

Love the location of this place. An awesome spot by the lake in a quiet part of the city. Parking and highway access to boot. This trattoria menu is plentiful and affordable, offering an array of finger foods and dining options which will satisfy. Service is good, as well. Will return.

Went here for dinner last Friday for the first time. Started with the grilled calamari and shrimp which was delicious. Nicely charred with a delicious balsamic glaze. For my main I had the Salmon pasta which was also excellent. My fiancé had the seafood pasta which was delicious also. Dinner for 2 with 2 drinks each, 2 apps and 2 mains came to $ 120. When spending that much for a meal it would be nice to have actual linens but the food is very tasty. Service was excellent also.
Looking forward to spending some time on their patio on a nice warm summer night. Perfect spot for a first date.

One of the best restaurants in toronto. Consistency is what makes this restaurant Amazing. Service is always on point. The best dish is the jumbo shrimp and scallops. The basa is a close runner up.

My friend and i had wonderful dinner at eden restaurant last night, the grilled chicken dinner was terrific, grilled taste on the surface juicy inside. the cesar salad is oone of my favor salad, which i like it with more dressing, it is my perfer fusion Italian cusine.

Expected much more from this place given the location and price. The house salad was awful and they had no dressing choices other than raspberry vinaigrette. They expect you to season your own with the oil and vinegar on the table — really?! The 4 cheese gnocchi was very very very bland. On the plus side, the restaurant itself has a nice vibe and it’s in a great location. Might be best for a drink on the patio. I definitely wouldn’t go back for food.

Hostess was great manager was great we got great bottle of wine suggested by him the waiter was great the food was delicious … Just one thing
I have been in the food industry as a manager so when I see my waiter taking forever to respond to us or take our order I immediately look how he is sectioned off. The poor kid had tables in the whole restaurant upstairs and down. It was frustrating a bit but who knows maybe someone called in sick.

I have been coming here for years and definitely would have to say this is one of the places you have to eat at.
Great views of the city and the lake. Everything I have ordered here, I LOVED! We decided to order in last night and ordering healthy and delicious was our choice so we chose Eden. Ordered a grilled chicken dinner with roasted potatoes and roasted vegetables and a chicken parmigiana with roasted potatoes and roasted vegetables as well as a regular size cesar salad. Got a side of French bread with our meal (warm).
Both meals were delicious. Cesar salad could use a bit more parmesan and dressing. Bread was amazing. My boyfriend doesn’t eat bread and finished the entire loaf (although small loaf).
First time we went there, there was a really long wait and he wasn’t interested in waiting. After a bit of convincing, we stayed and had a great dinner. But I think it kind of put a sour taste in his mouth having to wait so long. After ordering in last night, he might be a fan now. Everything was cooked to perfection and now is one of his fav places to order in from. YEYYYYY FINALLY got him hooked on Eden!

Great location but not the greatest food. Very expensive for the quality. The calamari was not very tasty at all, but I must say that the pistachio gelato was very good.

Lovely view of the waterfront and city but food and service are hit and miss. Last night we waited 50 minutes for our main courses (hamburger and veal panini) and when the food arrived, it was decent, not amazing, and certainly not worth the wait. In the past we’ve ordered their pizza, fish and chips, fish special, and pasta and all of these dishes have been ok. Not amazing, not terrible, just respectable.
We’ve come other times when the service has been better, and the restaurant’s worth going to if you want to have a drink and enjoy the beautiful scenery, but just keep in mind that the food is no better than average and service can be VERY slow.

Location: In Etobicoke, on the waterfront.
The place: I didn’t get a chance to go inside because we were lucky enough to get a table on the terrace (which is quite big).
The goods: I ordered the Pappardelle with Italian sausage and rapini. Being Italian, and having been to Italy, I feel like I know my Italian cuisine. Unfortunately, this dish did not blow me away and I’m not sure I even consider it to be Italian. First, while the pasta is said to be fresh, it was served to me in one big sticky lump that I basically had to pull apart as I ate. For my taste, it was overcooked. Additionally, the sausage was not Italian — at least not by my standards. It was practically white, for starters, and was lacking in both flavour and spice. Lastly, the rapini was very bitter. I’ve had rapini before and it was that bitter. I was a little disappointed with the dish. My friend had the baked Penne and enjoyed it.
Service: Our waiter, Jordan, was a rock star. He was so friendly and attentive — he didn’t miss a beat.
Price point: Expensive for pasta.

Loved their menu, you get to choose your pasta preference on their entrees… also, try the Smoked Salmon Bruschettas, they were fab!

To me Eden is an under achiever, they do all the big things right, but if they could only focus on the little things it could be, and should be a 5 star, not 3!
Why you ask? Well location is great, patio is great, its clean, its convinient, good vibe, good wine and drink BUT why not have 1 or 2 cocktails you can be proud of? And come on, you gotta work on that service, they try, but they are not polished, not overly welcoming, not the happiest bunch and it shows! Pizzas are better than average but again, guys you gotta move away from pick your own toppings and need a few signature pizzas that have more than your traditional toppings.
You’re good, but can be great

This is another place I’ve been going to for years and can’t believe I haven’t written a review.
When we had our condo, we were pretty much there about twice a month and got take-​out regularly. We would (and still do) go more for the ambience, especially in the warmer months when you can sit outside and just look at the water. It’s a great place for groups and it gets very lively on Friday and Saturday nights. Eden gets a lot of patrons from outside Mimico so, on some nights, it can get quite pretentious (e.g. young, three dressed up as nines with 55-​year-​old men). The hostesses and servers are very accommodating though.
The food isn’t really much to write home about. Safe bets are the Fresh Battered Calamari & Shrimp (more of a meal for one than an antipasto); Fresh Steamed Mussels; Eden Pasta Al Forno (so good) and the paninis are pretty decent. I would stay away from the pizza and burgers. If you’re having drinks, it can get very pricy.
I would rate the food/​prices: 2.5÷5.
The location, however, being so close to the lake and the restaurant itself is well decorated and maintained: 4.5÷5 in that category.

This place is a little out of the way but totally worth it. You get a beautiful view of the lake and the service is fantastic. The food is reasonably priced for very good tasting menu items.
I ordered the seafood salad — uh-​may-​zing! Would definitely come back and order this again. Looking forward to the dessert: they have a host of gelato flavours! Can’t wait to try it. The only downside is there’s only street parking, but it is made up for with the view– you basically park beside the lake.
All in all, I will definitely return, probably for a date night because it’s kind of romantic to look right out into the lake, and maybe share a gelato.

Eden is ideally located on the beautiful Lakeshore, ideal for those romantic dates. This is an ideal location if you were looking into planning a date with a nice stroll after lunch or dinner.
Now the food wasn’t anything amazing, nor was it terrible. It was just «okay.» I would go here again just for the convenience of the location and not so much for the food. We started off with the grilled octopus. In general, I am a big fan of grilled octopus! The texture was cooked right, but the flavours were passable. Next up was our mains. One nice option that there menu offers is their customizable options for pasta. We both decided to try it out. My friend had ordered penne tossed in olive oil with shrimp, and for a myself a spaghetti carbonara with shrimp. Shrimp is an extra $ 5 if you wanted that add on. I had tasted the penne and it was very bland. My carbonara serving was larger than I expected. Good for those who have a big appetite. It’s was decent but it I wasn’t impressed.
As for dessert we ended our meal with a cappuccino and for myself, an earl grey tea. We both decided on a chocolate banana cake. It was moist but it was a little wet. If that makes sense to you readers.
Maybe it was just one of those nights and my expectations were too high. Other than our food expectations, their service could be better. I don’t blame the guy. It was busy last night. Our waiter was attentive at some areas but just didn’t hit the mark.
I would come here again just for the convenience of the location, but not for the food.

Eden is one of those «hit or miss» restaurants that I’ve been to half a dozen times and keep hoping that they would find some consistency. The location is perfect: right on the lake and in the summertime, their patio is superb. After a night of dinner and drinks, I opt for some
takeout gelato for a nice evening stroll along the lake to the Humber Bridge. But, it takes more than location to make a restaurant great and with Eden, I feel that they use their location as a crutch to compensate for their shortcomings.
Generally speaking, their food is decent depending on what you order and the Italian driven menu at Eden is quite extensive. Pizza is a guaranteed winner but the rest of the food options are one notch above mediocrity. For the price, you’d expect some more creativity and bolder flavours. Overall, albeit overpriced, I’ve always had a decent meal here but I don’t really come here for the food, I come here for the location. That being said, if you’re not seated on the patio there is a 30% chance you will have an awful table with servers and patrons orbiting around you all night. The layout of the restaurant needs to be revamping. When it comes to the service, it’s pretty terrible at times and most of the servers come equipped with an unapologetic attitude that can easily ruin an evening out.
Location and patio aside, I was going to give Eden 2 Stars, however, I was here on Mother’s Day for brunch and even though it was busy, everything was great for my mother and I. I can’t say the same for some of the other patrons who were visibly disgruntled. If this was my first experience at Eden, I would give it 4 Stars, unfortunately inconstancy and complacency is holding back a restaurant that has the potential to be great but they seem to be ok with just being mediocre.

There is something so pretentious about this place. When I first arrived it was quite busy (I was in a group of 4), and the hostess rolled her eyes and sighed with annoyance. This experience was off to a great start.
We were seated upstairs and it took ages for a server to acknowledge we existed, and again, we felt as though we were a major inconvenience in her life. Food was okay, perhaps a little bland, and prices are fairly average. I really wanted to get gelato on the way out, but that was impossible. That area was jam packed with people, and it’s so close to the seating that it’s ridiculous. I didn’t even bother trying.
I really wanted to love this place because the view is so stunning, but I could never shake the feeling that the staff thought my friends and I weren’t «good enough» to be eating here. The food isn’t good enough to breed that kind of snobbery.

A co-​worker had recommended this restaurant last September to take a couple of European guests there. Both our Swedish and German guests loved the food, dessert, and beer.
This week, our Swedish guest returned along with another colleague. Our team at work brought them back here. This restaurant is simply the best.
The first time I ate at Eden, I had the seafood risotto, which was fresh and fantastic. The risotto was perfect. I also had the tiramisu, which was yummy. It is my favourite dessert.
Yesterday, I went with the butternut squash ravioli with prosciutto. It was one of the dinner special and it was tasty. The pasta was al dente and the rose sauce complemented the ravioli well.
Of course, I has the tiramisu again. It was consistently delicious. Our group sampled one another’s dessert. The banana cake was scrumptious. I may have to order two desserts the next time that I’m there.
The view of downtown Toronto and the lake is divine! The food and beer (I had the Radler) are two of many reasons why I’d return. I highly recommend this place, especially with large groups (7 people last night).

Eden is a lifesaver when I want a good meal but don’t feel like cooking. I live in the area and there is little else around. Even with nobody to compete with, Eden is top notch. They offer quality food at reasonable prices and have an impressive selection. Everything from pasta and pizza, sandwiches and salads, seafood and meat entrées, finger foods, and gelato. They also do brunch. Best part is: Eden delivers!
I’m a huge fan of their greek salad with chicken as well as the warm mushroom and goat cheese salad. YUM
My boyfriend is into the chicken parm, pizza and chicken fingers.
I’ve also had the octopus, fish of the day several times, and one time had steak.
I’ve been coming in/​ordering in to Eden for over a year now and they are consistently good.
If you live in the area I suggest you give Eden a try!
