Description

Specialties

Savouring the essence of life in each taste tickling bite, we bring you another adventure in food, dining, pleasure and romance — Roman Jewish cuisine

History

Established in 2015.

«Here’s a fragrance in the air while I walk through the streets of the ghetto in Rome and I’m flooded with nostalgia as memories of splitting polpette with my Nonno and the sweet smell of my Nonna’s cuisine from her balcony on portico d’ottavia rekindle the warmth in my heart.»

Now invite you to my Nonna’s table with Rione XI. Named after the Jewish Roman quarter in my beautiful Rome, we are happy to bring the multitude of colourful dishes, aromas and flavours to Toronto. May it make you yearn for more of what my heart craves, Nonna’s kitchen.

Price：7/10 (10 means really expensive)
Service: 6⁄10
–friendly but not that warm welcome. The owner is a great gentlemen, but not that good as a waiter:)
Food: 8.5÷10
–Carciof all giudia: 6.5÷10
Its appearance worths a 10 out of 10. But it tastes special. Really special. I personally not really like the flavour or say not used to, but it depends on ppl. Lemon is the turning point!
–Guance Di: 9⁄10
Beef is so great!!!
–Margherlta: 9⁄10
Very thin and crispy. The tomato sauce on the pizza is great.
Food amount: 8.5÷10 (10 means a lot)
Environment: 9⁄10
Warm and beautiful design. Quite sentimental. Good for dating:)

Was here last night. Two (very) pregnant ladies, one with celiac disease (gluten makes her acutely sick). The server was a bit of a jerk and not very helpful when asked what on the menu might be gluten-​free. Food was good. Service continued to be rude and inattentive.
Fast-​forward to next day, wife has stomach cramps and vomiting. Called to ask if there was raw egg in her pasta (there was) and the guy I got (sounded like it could have been the same server as before) was a complete jerk on the phone about everything.
So now we get to sit here an worry about whether she has salmonella from a raw egg.
Not going back.

Excellent food, attentive and friendly service. The fried artichokes and meatballs were delicious, and the beef cheek was incredible, served with delicious mashed potato and truffle oil. The cheesecake is a must. Great addition to the St Clair strip.

Don’t know how long this revamped version of Pizza e Pazzi is going to survive, but I hope business picks up soon. Menu is meant for sharing, and thank goodness. Delicious house made pasta and hearty, flavourful second courses. Highly recommend the ravioli and stewed beef cheek.

We tried this restaurant after it replaced Pizza e Pazzi. The food was good, but not great. The service was, likewise, good but not great. For two adults and two children the bill was slightly more than $ 100. I had the beef cheeks, and the meat portion was small to say the least. No one at the table was particularly excited about their food. I would not go back.

This is a new restaurant in the st. clair — Bathurst neighbourhood. Great Italian food with amazing service. It wasn’t very crowded which was nice for a change in this neighbourhood. Worth a second visit!

We were in the mood for something savory with garlic.
We were greeted by a very welcoming young lady from Rome who allowed us to sample some of the dishes.
After sampling, we knew we needed to take a seat :) We learned the chef was Italian so we were excited to try.
Had the mushroom risotto and the artichoke pasta with shrimp sauce. Exactly what we were looking for, full of flavour, the pasta was el dente and made in house.
The bread was definitely the best I’ve tried. Stuffed with cherry tomatoes, with a moist cente and a rustic crust. Forgot to ask if you can buy it by the loaf.
Next time I want to try the deep fried stuffed meatballs!
Overall, a satisfying experience.

Rione XI is a new Italian restaurant that focuses on dishes from the Roman Jewish ghetto. This is not another sleek or gimmicky Toronto food-​trap. This is a St. Clair West neighbourhood spot with authentic dishes in a relaxed setting.
I tasted some of the dishes (e.g. stracotto pasta) and am enthused to try more! I particularly enjoyed the sharing boards. One of them featured simply prepared fresh ingredients like creamy burrata on crostini, heirloom tomatoes, white anchovies and grilled radicchio.
My highlight was the rucola e scaglie di parmigiana. It’s a plentiful board overflowing with arugula, lemon wedges, shaved parmesan and the star: the bresaola, which is used instead of the usual proscuitto. Try this with your bread, olive oil and wine on the side. You will taste that the food at Rione XI is prepared with love.
