L’arte Del Caffe

Wow, this well be my new hangout spot on my days off during the week. I absolutely loved everything about this place. The food was delicious, the coffee amazing and the service was excellent. The place was very clean and well lit from the sun shining through the windows. I loved that the owner/​manager asked for feedback after our meal. I have nothing but good things to say about this place!

Fantastic Food, Great Service. Very nice and relaxing date café :)

I’m simply speechless. This place makes me appreciate the simple things in life. Simplicity yet magnificent. I’m not a cappuccino drinker, wait let me rephrase that, of all the cappuccinos I’ve had, I’ve never enjoyed it UNTIL NOW. I had the ginseng cappuccino since Unilocal offered it as a free complimentary drink and also had the lasagna. The lasagna was hot, tasty and the perfect portion for me. As for the ginseng cappuccino, I sipped and enjoyed my fancy drink til the very last drop. The service here was amazing but it felt more of a genuine appreciation of servicing than anything else.
Thank you for such a delightful experience.

I can’t describe any better than I just LOVE this place. Latte is beautiful and delicous, taste so much better than anything I had in downtown that is more expensive. Pizza and pasta are no doubt big in volume and fresh, just the right amount of saucing. With pasta, owner always pair with a small salad. A healthy and delightful meal!

I’m not a coffee drinker but I saw the cute pictures online and I had to try this café! This place was extremely difficult to find because it was hidden behind Alpha Laboratories.
When I entered the café, I was greeted right away and I liked the friendly vibe already. It took me a while to decide on what to get because there were so many things to choose from. I finally decided on a cheese Danish and a café latte. I was excited to see what he’ll draw on my coffee! He told me find a seat and he’ll bring everything to my table.
When he came with a tray, the cheese Danish was heated up and cut in half for easy consumption. I thought it was very delicious. The cheese really came through and it wasn’t too sweet. On my coffee, he drew two hearts. I was hoping for a pig but the hearts are still very cute! For a noncoffee drinker, I think it tasted pretty good. Lastly, on the tray was a glass of water with a big slice of lime. I really liked the small touches he added to my snack.
Before I left, I asked him where the pastries were from. I was surprised to hear that some of it were flown from Italy. I definitely need to try some more pastries on my next visit!

Great food and drink, and even greater customer service!
I had a latte and a prosciutto panini, and both were simply fantastic. Best Lattè I’ve had in a while. The ingredients in the sandwich were very fresh, and it was perfectly toasted.
This café is a hidden gem!

Amazing place. pizza and torta and other stuff was so yummy. Coming back for sure. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

Wow. I’ve been here 4 or 5 times already and everytime its just amazing food and amazing coffee. On two occasions I tried his pastas. The pasta was cooked perfectly and the sauce was very rich. He adds a nice little salad with some ciabatta to finish off the sauce. Today I tried the proscioutto panini and it was great. Its a huge bonus that the owner is super nice and even gives away free baked goods sometimes. This place is very far from me– about 35 minutes. I have driven here twice because I really just wanted the food and coffee When I am in the area, I make sure now that I come here.
Heads up– The building is a little bit hard to find. Its in a red brick building that also has «listen up canada» in there.
Go there and try the stuff, you will love it!

Came here during my lunch break with a few of my coworkers. We turned into the wrong plaza twice as this place is a little hard to find.
Now I am always impressed by servers (in this case the owner) taking orders without a pen/​paper or any device while holding a conversation. He emphasized that we could order anything on the menu with any additions/​sauces you’d like. My two friends ordered two lattes and 2 pastas, customized with difference sauces and meat on each one with no additional cost. I ordered the pizza with chicken and a medley of vegetables. So for the service this is definitely 5 stars.
As we sat down, we shortly got our food. The pasta and pizza are huge, he is generous with the sauce on the pasta and toppings on the pizza. The pastas came with slices of baked bread to scoop up the sauce after your done eating. The pizza itself is fresh with tons of toppings, but a little too much dough for me (I’m sure if I asked for thin crust he would say no problem). I didn’t order a drink, but when my coworkers got their lattes, which had beautiful art on them, he brought us 3 glasses of water as well! Like a damn mind reader.
In summary,
Takes your orders without pen/​paper AND gets it right!
Customize whatever you want at no additional cost
Brings you things before you even need it
2 pastas, two lattes, pizza after tax and tip $ 40!

Interior design was very pleasant and welcoming. Because it is located in a medical building, when you initially walk in it feels like a fast food Café, but as soon as you take a seat, you’d feel like home. They have comfortable tables and chair and a nice window view. It’s also great for medium groups of up to 6 – 8.
Service was very impressive! They not only brought coffee to our table when it was ready, they even brought us water when we didn’t ask for it. That’s was great!
I can be very indecisive when I order especially when there are many options of one thing, but the person taking my order was very patient. He explained everything and even gave me a recommendation which I took and was very happy with!
I had the ginseng cappuccino! It was very smooth with a think velvety pillow of microform with no visible grains. I loved the cute and pretty design that came with my coffee.
They have a large selection of coffee (lac to milk if you prefer it) lunch foods, and desserts!
We also tried an specialty Italian pastry with custard and with pang orangey citrus flavour in the center! It was delicious !
I’m definitely looking forward to coming back again :)

L’arte del Caffe is now my new favourite place to hang out with friends and family! It over-​exceeded my expectations when I visited the establishment with my cousin. The sitting area was bright and clean, and the owner brought our orders right up to our table. I was recommended to try the ginseng latte by a regular there and it was the best! He even did the OK design milk foam art I requested (since I saw a lot of their drinks posted on social media). The owner also treated us to a cheese and orange sfogliatella napoletana pastry and even gave us a few extra pieces to take home! Great experience, I will definitely visit again!

One of the best places for latte art! Staff were super friendly, sucks that its in a medical building!

Took the kids and family to lunch there.
We ordered pizza, prosciutto and chicken panini, and pasta Alfredo. The owners cooked everything to order and they were very willing to customize to your liking.
The Owners were wonderful and brought food to our tables. Everything was hot, fresh and tasty.
The adults ordered lattes as well. Their latte is one once of the best that I have had. Smooth, creamy and just perfect!
We will definitely be back!
To bad they aren’t open for weekends as I can imagine myself hanging out there after a bike or a run!

Hidden gem in mid town Toronto. This place is very hard to find, but if you can it is totally worth it.
The manager there is extremely friendly and great cook/​barista. Food comes to you at your table, making it feel like a high-​end restraint instead of some café attached to a office building.
The manager offered me a Italian desert for free, it left me drooling for more, but I couldn’t find similar things anywhere else.
Highly recommend.

Highly recommended: cappuccino and daily pasta (served with bread and salad). It is one of the Italian cafes worth visiting in Toronto.

Lovely small café with very nice owners that you can tell takes their time and heart into making the food and coffee. This location might be a bit hidden but they are opening a second location downtown which might be more convenient for most people.
Coffee was very aromatic and smooth; good coffee yet not overly strong where other cafes can be. Their pasta menu is also a good try — had their Alfredo fettucine; sauce was very creamy yet not overly heavy. If you are looking for a café to sit and chat with friends or just a quiet place to read a book as opposed to a busy Sbucks, this place might spark your interest. Would be perfect if they have a patio area, but I don’t think that’s possible in their current location. However, this place may remind some people of Aroma, but with a homier feel. They do have extra seating in a room off to the side (something resembling a cafeteria so you have plenty of space to sit during rush hours). Warning though, this place is opened Mon-​Fri only, which might be difficult for the typical 9 – 5 people to find time to come here.

Came here today in the afternoon around 2pm, the service here was excellent the man working here today was very helpful, confident and knowledgeable of the coffee menu.
He was very confident because he even gave us the option to not pay if we didn’t like the coffee. We tried the coffee he made and it was really yummy, cute, pretty and creative. Its really good to see that he has a lot of faith in his customers.
The only reason I am not giving this café 5 stars because it was hard to find. and parking is annoying when its busy.
This man that works here is supeeeer friendly and nice! Will be back ~

I have to agree with everyone else who has reviewed this tiny spot inside a medical building. It was a terrific little gem, but hard to find! You don’t see it from the street, and the only way we found it was by the address, and then by going around back. Oh, and we chose it because there was a Unilocal special on it — free coffee.
But what a coffee! That was one of the best Café au lait /​Lattés that I have ever had!
Their sandwhiches were very tasty and totally reasonably priced. We each got an egg sandwhich, on whole bread, with tomato, lettuce, and mayo, and it was delicious! Both meals combined came to about $ 10 *(would have been more without the Unilocal check in special; hope the tip was sufficient!)
There’s a pleasant sounding waterfall near the seating. Not huge in ambiance, but the food and service were worth the visit. I would certainly go back if and whenever I find myself near there again.

2^nd visit just as great as the first. This time also tried their desserts.
Chocolate caramel brownie topped with a chunk of score and pecan caramel brownie. I personally liked the pecan brownie better. The chocolate brownie had a slight dark chocolate bitter taste and the pecan brownie had a sweeter vanilla type of taste.
The Japanese barista is very talented when creating the artistic designs on the cappuccino’s. She is very friendly and has a strong Japanese accent which I find cute :)

I love this place! Unfortunately it is within a medical building but the drinks are always great with a reasonable price. The service is great as well :)
