Editorial review•Jun 10, 2026

Gatto Wood Oven Italian Restaurant on Bloor West is doing something particular: it's bringing the wood oven back to the centre of the room — not as a novelty, but as a structural commitment. Contemporary Italian in this stretch of Bloor means you're threading between the red-sauce institutions the neighbourhood has always trusted and the newer wave of minimalist pasta bars. Gatto finds a lane between them: approachable enough for a Tuesday with neighbours, considered enough for a proper date. The price point stays at two dollars on the dial, which, given the wood oven format and the ambition of the menu, is the first thing that earns loyalty from Bloor West regulars. The menu centres on exactly the kind of dishes that reward a kitchen with a wood oven behind it. The Truffle Mushroom Lasagna is the dish most consistently flagged by diners as the reason to return — layered, earthy, the kind of thing that justifies the format. The Baked Spicy Shrimp reads as a kitchen showing its confidence: a dish that commits to heat and to the oven's role in finishing it. Burrata and Prosciutto anchors the opening — classic pairings that live or die by ingredient sourcing, and the menu's willingness to centre them says something about the kitchen's priorities. The Apollo9 is Gatto's signature pizza, the thing that tells you what the wood oven is actually for. And the Tiramisu and three-piece mini Cannolis at the close are the kind of desserts that don't try to reinvent anything — they're here to finish the meal correctly. The practical move: the Truffle Mushroom Lasagna and the Apollo9 together function as the clearest possible statement of what Gatto is. Book a table rather than walk in on a weekend — Bloor West foot traffic fills rooms faster than people expect. If you're deciding between a pasta and a pizza, order both; the menu is priced to make that an easy call.

Machida Shoten on College Street carries a straightforward but significant distinction: it is Canada's first Yokohama Iekei ramen shop, which alone explains why it has accumulated more than a thousand reviews at a near-perfect rating in…
