Don Alfonso 1890 Toronto Reviews from The Last Year
Came here for a birthday meal and while the food and
Came here for a birthday meal and while the food and service as well as view were nice, I was most disappointed in my experience after the meal. Came home with a terrible case of food poisoning and when we notified the restaurant we got a generic response saying they would investigate and follow up. It has been almost 2 months and nothing. Really not what I would have expected from a supposed 1 Michelin star establishment. I was simply looking for a proper follow up. Save your money for other spots that will treat their diners better. There are plenty of other amazing spots in Toronto. We will certainly never be going back nor do we recommend this to anyone either
Disappointing on flavours
honestly, not worthy of a Michelin star. We all did the tasting menu. Presentation was good but flavours were lacking. The canapés were bland which was our first tell tale of disappointment. Service was good, atmosphere was nice but food not quite there. having eaten at many stared restaurants my guess is this was will not retain its star. More show than taste. Too bad. Better restaurants to go to without the the cost but with the taste. Also left left hungry.
Everyone gets a perfect seat and everyone gets a perfect
Everyone gets a perfect seat and everyone gets a perfect meal. I've collected plenty of Michelin stars in Italy and Don Alfonso 1890 holds up compared to all of them. The restaurant is open very late and, depending on when your flight arrives, it's possible to fit in on your travel day. Truly memorable--the negative reviews are nonsensical.
STUNNING‼️‼️❣️
The view is AMAZING, one of the best in Toronto. The ambience is perfect and the service 💯, as well as the food. At the end of the menu my son asked secretly for a surprise because of my birthday, and offered a selection of sweets as also a Little present and a Happy Birthday letter, ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS, thanks a lot! This restaurant really deserves a Michelin star🌟🤩👌🏻
Hard to really connect to an Italian restaurant, claiming
Hard to really connect to an Italian restaurant, claiming in the website to the best Italian outside of Italy, and hardly having anything Italian in its creativity or flavors on the menu. I was born in Italy and hard for me to ever remember that wagyu, soy sauces, bison, or even tempura are typical Italian ingredients or fares. The Croccantino of vegetables for example was basically a vegetable tempura, artsily plated in a tower, with a lot of fancy colorful, yet bland sauces around, but in essence I would have expected to find such a dish at Cactus Club, versus a Starred Michelin restaurant. And over the past 20 years, I have my share of 3-stars around the world. The wagyu carpaccio, was bland, thicker that expected, with very little seasoning and I left half of it on the plate just because I did not feel like wasting too much. Service was also lacking. Of course I was in the Lounge, maybe that is the reason, but plating, service, attention to details were lacking, including a whole glass of an expensive wine being poured outside of my glass onto the table (did not get a proposal for replacing that glass, except profuse apologies....go figure). So all in all an over $300 for two experience was basically a bust. I'll stick to my trattorias...

We went for a celebration dinner, and it was just absolutely stunning. The food was on point, but even more than the food, the service was absolutely stellar. They saw where every needs the view cannot be beat of the harbor. If you can get a seat at Sunset. It would be absolutely wonderful.
Great place for the wife's birthday!
Excellent service, knowledgeable staff. Best meal I've ever had in my life, my wife was pleased with the whole birthday experience.
Try hard Michelin Star - DO NOT GO THERE The group I went
Try hard Michelin Star - DO NOT GO THERE The group I went with were getting started with the typical three breads. When I was eating one of them, I felt some slippery and hard feeling until I realized it was a plastic wrapper INSIDE the bread that I was chewing on. I called a server about this, she snatched away the plate, never letting me a chance to take a photo for evidence, and let us know that she will bring a manager. The manager didn't come to the table for 15 minutes, I lost my appetite, and wanted to leave. The manager brought new plate of bread, saying that it was just a "human error" and would try their best to make the rest of the dining experience pleasurable. She didn't really apologize and implied that I just eat the new bread. I told her I lost my appetite and am not willing to eat anymore, but she tried to make us stay after already ruining the mood. They invited us to come back, but we do not plan to come back at all. How is this restaurant a Michelin 1 Star when they have SANITARY ISSUES and TERRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE? They don't even deserve such rating.
Amazing Restaurant!!!
Outstanding menu and the service is out of this world. We enjoyed their tasting menu with wine pairings and the overall experience was incredible. Best date night spot in the city by far! We will be back for sure.
An expensive disappointment
This past Sunday I took my wife to Don Alfonso’s restaurant for her birthday. Special occasion, really looking forward to it. Maybe our expectations were too high. We went with the a la carte menu, which with two drinks each, tax and tip clocked in at $470 and for that sort of money we expected to be blown away when in fact we were sorely disappointed. Food presentation was visually good, flavours average, but the secondi and primi (hot dishes) were tepid at best, the music choice didn’t say ‘quality’ and the staff, though pleasant and attentive, had no passion. Just followed the script. Sorry Don Alfonso, but on this occasion it didn’t work for us - just a waste of good money.
Absolutely stunning view.
Don't think you could go wrong with any of the seats at this restaurant! From the windowed elevator up to the seat, always a great view. Opted for the tasting menu and wine pairing. Menu included many dishes but the absolute show stopper for me had to have been the bison. Everything was great, but the bison for me was beyond exceptional. Service flowed well and servers and sommelier was great at explaining every dish/wine that was served.
Decent food with amazing view.
However this restaurant doesn't feel like a Michelin 1 star. Food was pretty standard and not very creative. The service was just so so - I had to pour my own wine couple times and the timing of each course was very inconsistent.
Michelin?
Really a noisy place. When one enters a Michelin star restaurant one expects more atmosphere and a better service less chaotic and better organized. Our tasting menu was really disappointing even the pasta was overcooked. Only Italian red Aglianico bottle was perfect. Too generous Michelin star award.
Tiny Portion and Once in a Life Time Expensive DIning Experience
Our son and daughter in law brought us here for dinner during their last visit to Toronto.It was our first dining experience in a Michelin Starred restaurant. We chose the 8 course dinnerThese are the dishes that stood out for us: 1.The seared Quebec Duck Breast 2The Organic Manitoba Tenderloin wrapped in layered Swiss Chard. 3The British Columbia Wild Turbot fish 4.and finally the dessert plates. My main comments on this dining experience: 1. The washroom are tiny . There were only two cubicles inside the squeezy toilets. 2. We were assigned one service person but our orders each item was brought in by kitchen trainees who rushed through explaining what they were serving us. They looked like they wanted to breeze through the presentation or were ashamed to stand over and serve customers.Before you can ask them what they serve again they scurry away. 3. Not all the items were deserving a Michelin star, we loved the steak, the duck and the fish and of course the dessert out of the 8 course tasting menu.
Dinner with Friends
A fantastic restaurant with great food, great service and great views over Toronto and Lake Ontario. An appropriately extensive wine and cocktail list matched the fine dining experience. All of our dishes were of the highest standard of ingredients, cooking and presentation. For us probably the stand out for our evening was the attention to detail in both plating and the service.
Great service, average food.
We got the tasting menu and were very disappointed. I love seafood and this menu is based on a lot of it but some dishes were disgustingly fishy, almost close to spoilage. The cocktails were incredible and some of the food courses too. But more of the food courses were unappetizing than incredible. I wish we were seated on a better side of the window but what we got wasn't bad either but the decor and ambiance great. Might just go back for cocktails and dessert
Fancy dinner for the wife and I's first post baby trip
Fancy dinner for the wife and I's first post baby trip without our child, and it was delightful. The views of Lake Ontario with planes landing just outside the restaurant coming into Billy Bishop City Airport made for amusement as we worked our way through the A la Carte menu. We both enjoyed a cocktail with bread service and our first courses. Then we were treated to an experience when we ordered a bottle of wine when the sommelier handled with aplomb. We will definitely return on our next trip to Toronto.
Michelin star??
Michelin star ?? Slow service. Expensive. Food was good. Not great. Ambience lacking. Nice view if you can get a lake view. Empty water view tables but would not let us sit there. Terrible walk in ambience as Westin Harbour Fromt lobby is terrible. Many better options for dinner in Toronto. Won’t go back. Slow service ok food. Not Michelin star level IMO.
Best Italian restaurant in Toronto
Don Alfonso 1890 is the best Italian restaurant in Toronto, Canada. After being 6 years in Canada and trying many restaurants, we finally found a top class food experience. High quality flavors, amazing taste, superb wines and excellent service. A wonderful experience that you definitely want to come back and taste again. Highly recommended, and not to forgot, excellent service from Kelly Kwan a senior captain in the restaurant.
Made a reservation for our anniversary dinner.
It is at the top of the Westin Harbour Castle. We were seated at a booth with an amazing view of the water and the city with the CN Tower in the background. You can order an 8 course tasting menu or the 3 course a la carte. We decided to go with the a la carte. We had the Ontario wagyu beef tenderloin carpaccio, seared Quebec Muscovy duck breast and the eel gelato and sturgeon caviar as the antipasti. We had the risotto with sliced veal shank and the ravioli stuffed with west coast crab as the primi (pasta dish) and the bison tenderloin wrapped in layered Swiss chard and buffalo mozzarella and the Japanese wagyu ribeye as the main course. We started with fresh brioche, bread stick and focaccia with whipped truffle butter and olive oil. The bread and the whipped truffle butter was so good. The amuse bouche was called Italy in a bite. We also had the La Sfogliatella Napoletana - layers of phyllo cinnamon infused pastry cream for dessert in addition to the petit fours. The service was top notch and we were given a card and a bottle stopper for our anniversary. Definitely understand why this was awarded a Michelin star.
Great Place
I had a lovely time. I do recommend this place

Great Service - amazing dinner!!
Read about the site in NYT and bought a reservation at Mother Wolf in LA 2 days later. Worked great and the food was amazing!!!
Worked perfectly!
Got the reservation (that I couldn't get anywhere else) and was able to entertain a group of friends at the infamous Bern's Steakhouse.
Got into Nobu Malibu
Wonderful! My parents are visiting and we have wanted to go to Nobu Malibu for years. I tried getting a reservation myself but it was next to impossible. So glad I was able to buy a reservation on appointment trader for a decent price!
Very easy
Was very hesitant going into this experience but am glad to say that it worked out very well ! will definitely use appointment trader in the future
Fabulous Lunch
I was veeeeeerry skeptical that this would work, particularly at a restaurant as hard to get into as Nobu Malibu, and it was perfect! We had lunch outside on the patio and it was fabulous!
Great reviewer team
Just wanted to take a second to shout out the reviewer team. Even though they probably review hundreds of listings and bids a day, they still take the time to leave great comments and respond relatively quickly. Thanks!
Incredible
I got a reservation to Don Angie, which I've been trying to book for weeks! I am very happy with this service.
Best platform out there!
Super simple, easy, and fast to secure reservations for hard-to-get restaurants and locations!
This app is life changing
This app has opened my world up to so many wonderful new experiences I would never have the chance to have without access to this awesome app! 10/10!
Worked perfectly
Was a little nervous at first but was pleased to see that the booking went through flawlessly.
Highly recommended.
Success on Short Notice
Was able to snag an indoor table at Don Angie through an absolutely seamless worry-free process.
Worked perfectly, thank you!
This is a crazy holiday season in NYC and I was very pleasantly surprised to see that AppointmentTrader works! Will be using again!
Worked flawlessly!
Worked so well! I was a bit nervous, but everything went very smoothly. purchased the reservation, and got into the restaurant seamlessly.
Love this app!
So glad I came across this app :)
Quick table in Miami
I didn’t have my hopes high as it was a party of 4. In 24 hours I had a carbone reservation available! I was very happy as my family really wanted to come here
Prime time, great meal
So easy and had a prime time which I can never seem to get on normal res apps. So worth it
Got impossible NYC res
instead of waiting weeks I got my 4 charles reservation instantly
Worked perfectly to get into Carbone. So delighted
perfect
Worked well, got me into a restaurant with no availability
I was skeptical, and I still don't really know how they managed to find this hard-to-find reservation, but it was a win-win from my point of view, and I'll use this service again.
Last minute reservation for Delilah Las Vegas
Got a last minute reservation, dinner for 2 at Delilah Las Vegas: super impressed! The process was simple, transaction seamless. We had an amazing time! Couldn’t be happier! 😍
It works!
Ok at this point I've attended a reservation purchased on AT by a friend and sold a reservation personally. Both worked pretty smoothly, nothing sketchy about it. A few areas for improvement including a way to more directly communicate between buyers and sellers, but the app always seems to be in development. AT customer support is really(!) responsive and helpful too if you have questions!
Money transfer
As a seller, I like the fact i have the ability now to transfer money out of my AT account and into a bank account. Makes getting the money much easier then the process before.
Love this app
Got to go to places otherwise unreachable
Easy Access
Very easy to get into one of the hardest restaurants to reserve in New York.
Whose name will my reservation be under when I arrive at the venue?
It can be under your name or a name you choose! Some reservation offers already include the AppointmentTrader Transfer Service which will transfer the reservation in to your name. If its not included you can add it on after buying the reservation for a small fee. One thing on that though: As many reservations become available at last minute, taking a reservation in someone else name is quick and great for privacy. Most reservations on AT are listed with a virtual phone number, so all you need to do is present the phone number at the hostess stand and you are good to go!
Appointment
I was waiting on the transfer for name but it hasn’t happened yet and my reservation is tonight , will it be an issue that is hasn’t changed into my name yet
Buyers interested in Bern's Steakhouse: PLEASE READ
Same goes for 4 Charles and I Sodi
Prepaid Reservation Fee
Agreed. Ultimately not addressing this month after month is clearly resulting in a drop in certain venue’s rankings & sales.
Just got scammed!
Thats unfortunate but you can always get your money back if they cancel the reservation.
Congrats on 3 mil
🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🧨🧨🧨 now on to 30 mill!
Need to cancel a bid, not getting a response… how do I do it?
Click on "Take off the Market Option" in your portfolio
Working on your bid?
Your bid has been “matched” with a reservation. From the time a reservation has been located, the seller of the reservation must connect with moderator to give transfer information for reservation. If the seller;however, does NOT respond to reservation transfer, then your bid is reprocessed and returns to the first step, which is connecting your request to a reservation.
Process after bid is accepted.
Hey @EvocativeFold67, welcome to appointmenttrader! Once the reservation is in your portfolio, you definitely own the timeslot, the review team would not have approved the trade if the reservation wasn't confirmed - so you are going :-) Judging from your post you bid today and are going tomorrow - don't worry as long as you initiated the name transfer, you are good - the transfer service has to work with the opening hours of the reservation team of the respective venue. You will likely see the transfer confirmation a couple hours before your reservation time.
Where do the Reservations on AppointmentTrader come from?
Mostly from people who don't need their reservations or appointments any longer. AT has no relationship with places listed and acts as a platform connecting buyers and sellers making sure that listed reservations are real and that privacy is not compromised when transacting.
What happens if my bid expires unanswered?
Hey @FluffyStar64, thanks for the question! When you place your bid the amount gets transferred in a deposit account, the second you either cancel your bid or a few minutes after the bid expires the funds are moved back into your main account from where you can refund it to your payment method or use for other transactions.
