Piano Piano Restaurant

The burrata and egg ravioli were absolutely delicious! The pizza was decent—nothing extraordinary, but a solid choice. Cocktails were well-made and enjoyable. The biggest downside was the wait time—our main course took nearly an hour to arrive, despite the restaurant being fairly empty around 15 customers. Our waitress was friendly and pleasant, but the slow service was frustrating, especially since we were hungry. Overall, a nice spot to try if you have time to spare—just bring good company to keep you entertained while you wait!

The place has a very intimate and beautiful atmosphere. We were shortly seated and brought our selection in a fast and efficient amount of time. I was a bit floored when I found out they charge eight dollars for water because it is usually free in other establishments. The pasta we ordered was absolutely astounding. The shrimp cocktail we got as an appetizer was delicious, even down to the sauce and coleslaw underneath it. I believe it was a bit overpriced to give just four shrimp for the price it was. Altogether it was a great experience. The staff was very friendly, and the food came in a timely matter. We got one appetizer and two entrées and a drink each and the total came to about $124 before tip. Definitely will be coming back.

Piano Piano has such a cute and cozy vibe. The staff is super friendly and attentive. We loved the food, desserts, and cocktails.That being said, the service was really slow. We ordered appetizers like calamari and warm olives, and they came out fast, but our mains took about 50 minutes, which felt way too long.On top of that, different servers kept checking on us, but they didn’t seem to communicate with each other. We had to keep telling them that we had already ordered and were just waiting for our food.The food and atmosphere were great, but I wouldn’t recommend going on a busy night. Other than that, the staff was lovely, and everything we ate was delicious!

I recently dined at Piano Piano on Harbord Street and, overall, had a much better experience compared to their Mount Pleasant Road location. The food was excellent—the pizzas, as always, were a highlight, consistently delicious and satisfying. The pasta dishes were tasty and well-prepared, but unfortunately, the portions were quite small, leaving us wanting a bit more.nnThe atmosphere, decor and interior design was whimsical and fun!nnWhile the food impressed, the service fell a bit short. Our waitress seemed somewhat distant and perhaps even a little sad, and we also noticed she was a bit forgetful at times. However, we tried not to let this affect our overall experience. A more approachable and attentive demeanor would have gone a long way in creating a more welcoming atmosphere.nnThat being said, Piano Piano’s Harbord location delivers high-quality Italian food, and the pizzas alone make it worth the visit. With slightly larger pasta portions and improved service, this spot could easily become exceptional.

We made reservations and enjoyed both the lunch special $36 and the Winterlicious menu $34. Our meal included a ½ order of calamari lunch menu special, burrata, egg yolk ravioli, Fun Guy pizza, soft serve ice cream, and lemon cheesecake—all for just $70! Every dish was well-prepared and enjoyable. The lemon cheesecake portion was particularly generous, which was a nice surprise at the end of a full meal.nnAs another reviewer mentioned, the pizza was a bit tricky to pick up, but it was still delicious. Service was mostly great—our server and hostess were lovely. However, one of the food runners seemed confused and attempted to serve us a main course while our untouched appetizers were still in front of us. It actually belonged to the table beside us, and it took corrections from our server, ourselves, and the other table before the mix-up was resolved.nnDespite that small hiccup, we had a wonderful experience and would definitely return!
