Ristorante Gravina

My family and I had the pleasure of enjoying a dinner here. We enjoyed the lovely interior décor, the food quality and quantity was more then average. The minor dislike we had was their cheese and basil pizza which nearly had no cheese on it and disappointed our children with its appearance. And not a sprinkle of basil, After mentioning this to our waitress, the kitchen was kind enough to send us another order to which everyone was pleased! (But again no basil what so ever)
They were able to cater to my gluten free needs and the location could not be better for us. We also ordered a bottle of their house red, which I personally was not a huge fan off, but that’s personal preference.
Over all good experience and will be happy to visit again soon.

One of the best restaurants I ever went to. We got calamari for appetizer, main course we got steak and N96 pizza. The food was amazing. Our server Roberto was extremely friendly and went out of his way to ensure that we had a memorable experience. chef Enzo Gravina really takes pride in making his dishes.
Definately recommend this place, and will be going back.

A delightful and dependable neighborhood gem. Wonderful Italian dishes and a wood burning pizza oven as well. I personally love spicy pizza so my go-​to is the «Papà Joe».
I’m not from Italy but I’m familiar with some of the regional specialties. Anyhow it turns out that the owner is Calabrian and if you ask nicely he will add ‘Nduja (en-​DOO-​ya) to your pizza! ‘Nduja is a spicy chopped salami mixture from Calabria that is just phenomenal. If you like spicy, savory foods then you might want to give it a try.
I highly recommend this restaurant! I’ll definitely be back.

We have been there a few times since Gravina’s opened and the food has always been great. The first time the waiter asked us if we were the same couple that dashed and dined a week earlier? thanks and welcome to Gravina’s! The food most recently was excellent, we had the osso buco with gnocchi and pizza, the Caesar salad dressing was made from scratch. The portions were huge and therefore good bang for the buck! This is not the type of place where you get walk ins off the street, like in many areas of TO, so considering most of the patrons are local and from the neighborhood, nobody from anywhere else is coming all the way up here from TO; it would be a nice touch if the staff and the «rock star» chef as Robert C. mentions in his review would come around to the tables instead of hangout at another table, so get up and make the customers feel like they are welcomed, and are a part of your place, that family feeling, that so they would want to come back…
.like I said the food is really good but its those small things that keeps your business around for a long time, in a big city you may get away with treating customers like numbers, in a small neighborhood, your local patrons keep the lights on.

If you live in Vaughan and frequent restaurants as much as most of us do, you will not be impressed. Let’s call a spade a spade… this is an Italian restaurant in a local plaza for a local neighbourhood. Do you think Toronto Life’s critic is going to come up here and give it a 3.5? Neoooooooo.
You want a simple meal. The place is good… Really good. I went one evening and the «head chef» was eating at a table alone acting like a rock star with some patrons. Stay in the kitchen and impress me with your skills not your eating ability. Service was mediocre at best. The wine selection was not thorough as they are probably tight on cash.
Listen «mr chef» in your business you need to prove your exceptional before being rated… Triple A… get back in the kitchen and show he patrons in Maple you are worthy of their cash.
Sorry but I can’t this stuff anymore with all the competition. If you want, focus on Italian baptisms, communions, and confirmations and be mediocre this is a great place.
Everyone is afraid to… Call a spade a spade.
Off to next meal.

We walked in to an almost empty restaurant and were welcomed and seated. My first impression is the interior is a classic dark wood and beige paint with the lights dimmed, it just screamed upscale.
Our server was very friendly and took our drink order and told us the specials, which were very appealing. I had one of the specials which was agnellti which was a half moon ravioli stuffed with lobster, and cheese (I believe), in a red wine sauce, along with some red wine & créme brûlée for desert.
It was a nice spot for a date more so than a young family dinner, but it still worked for us. The server brought bread an butter along with our selection of wine. We asked for more bread with our meal because the sauce on the pasta was amazing you just couldn’t leave any behind. The pasta itself was good, but could have used a bit more lobster, there was just enough that you got a hint of lobster ever once in a while. The créme brûlée was awesome nicely topped with grapes.
Overall it was a nice night out for the family, but would be better for a romantic night out. The meal was excellent the only knock I have is that for the price, I wish the portions were a little bigger.

Delicious food abounds here. From the moment you’re greeted, the focaccia bread brought to the table is made fresh drizzled with olive oil.
I had the BBQ calamari risotto and it was full of flavour. The calamari was perfectly cooked.
The owner takes pride in his dishes and it’s obvious.
Looking forward to going back!
