The dishes that define Piano Piano

Piano Piano built its reputation on a small number of landmark dishes — the kind that guests return for specifically. Here is what makes the menu distinctive.

$44 CAD · Showpiece main

Bone-In Veal Parm

Piano Piano's most dramatic dish — a bone-in veal chop breaded and topped with spicy soppressata, fior di latte, tomato, basil, olive oil and parmigiano. The go-to order for first-timers and regulars alike.

$14 CAD · Must-order dessert

Mushroom Cavatelli

Porcini cream, truffle-scented oyster mushroom, parmigiano and chive. Black truffles are available at market price. One of the menu's strongest vegetarian options and a consistent review favourite.

Ordering tips

How to order well at Piano Piano

Must-order

Start with the Donut and Caviar

The $18 snack — Kaluga caviar on a savoury cruller with creme fraiche — is one of Piano Piano's most distinctive and photographed dishes. A strong way to open the meal.

Sharing strategy

Order a pizza, a pasta and a main

The most common reviewer strategy: one sourdough pizza ($27) to share while waiting for pasta and mains. All pizzas are the same price, so pick by flavour preference rather than value.

Best deal

Family Style at $75 per person

For groups of four or more, the Play the Hits Family Style Menu at $75 per person delivers a broad cross-section of the menu's signatures without the decision fatigue of a la carte ordering.

Truffle add-on

Ask about the truffle upgrade

Both the Mushroom Cavatelli and The Fun Guy pizza list black truffle as an available addition at market price. Worth asking about if you are splurging — reviewers consistently call out the truffle versions.

Happy Hour

3–5 pm daily at most locations

Piano Piano offers a Happy Hour from 3:00 pm to 5:00 pm daily at most locations (Bloor Street is Fri–Sun only). A good window for snacks and drinks before the dinner rush.

Reservations

Book ahead, especially weekends

Piano Piano is consistently busy, especially on Friday and Saturday evenings. Book via OpenTable through pianopianorestaurant.com. Walk-in bar seats may be available but are not guaranteed.

About Piano Piano

The Italian restaurant you always wished was just around the corner.

Piano Piano was founded by Chef Victor Barry, formerly of Toronto's acclaimed Splendido. The name references the Italian phrase piano piano va lontano — slowly, slowly, we go further — a philosophy of craft over speed. The restaurant positions itself as an approachable neighbourhood Italian: soulful and satisfying rather than formal or precious.

The menu is built around sourdough pizza, handmade pasta and a small number of showpiece mains — most famously the Bone-In Veal Parm. The Nutella Tiramisu has become one of Toronto's most celebrated desserts. Since opening the original Harbord Street location, the group has expanded to 7 locations across Toronto and Southern Ontario, with further growth ongoing.

Dipping sauces — buttermilk ranch, creamy garlic, tangy chili mayo — are available at $4 each or $9 for all three.

Who founded Piano Piano and what is the concept?

Piano Piano was founded by Chef Victor Barry, formerly of the acclaimed Toronto restaurant Splendido. The name comes from the Italian phrase piano piano va lontano — “slowly, slowly, we go further” — a philosophy of doing things the right way without rushing.

Barry opened the first location at 88 Harbord Street and has since grown the group to 7+ locations across Southern Ontario.

What are the best pasta dishes at Piano Piano?

Piano Piano's pasta menu changes seasonally but recurring fan favourites include the Spaghettoni Carbonara ($26 CAD — organic eggs, guanciale, Pecorino Romano, crispy prosciutto) and the Mushroom Cavatelli ($29 — porcini cream, truffle-scented oyster mushroom). The Canestri alla Vodka ($29 — 'nduja, pancetta, chili, tomato) is a spicy crowd-pleaser, and the Ravioli Bolognese ($29 — ricotta-stuffed ravioli with beef ragu and brown butter) is consistently praised. All pasta dishes are priced between $26 and $29 CAD.
