LaVinia Restaurant - Toronto

Everything was amazing! Staff was friendly and helpful, they always checked if we need anything! Paella and mango cheesecake were amazing. Calamari was perfect just wow! I have been looking for good spanish restaurants for months and this os the one. This place will be my go to place for sure!

My family and I had dinner at this restaurant about a month ago. The food is amazing, freshly made, service was awesome with kind and mindful servers ensuring that we were taken care of throughout our visit. The chef even came out to ask us how the meal was. The experience left us feeling like we were important customers even though this had been our first visit.The only critic would be pricing. Although it was well worth it, it would be difficult to continue to go and maintain a budget.This will be a place we go to again, however may have to be for special occasions.Last point, didn't get her name, when I called last minute for a reservation the sweet lady on the phone did her best and even called me back once she could confirm space for our family. My fault because it was the day of....would recommend you reserve prior to going. The earlier the better!

Lavinia is a wonderful hidden gem on the Lakeshore just west of Park Lawn. This cozy spot has the ambience and Spanish food to make your experience 5 star! We tried salads, chorizo, shrimps w/garlic, meatballs, boquerones and croquettes. The wine was superb. They even surprised us with a candle lit piece of birthday cheesecake! We'll definitely be back!

Paella is superb. Some of the rice wasn't completely cooked otherwise serving size, seafood portions and presentation was amazingVegetarian options: Vegan paellaSeafood paella is superb

I highly recommend!I grew up in Spain and the one thing I miss is a good Spanish restaurant, this place ticked all the boxes. It is a small and cozy restaurant, the food was amazing and tasted exactly how It does back in Spain. It’s a perfect date spot as the tapas are tasty and you get enough to share.We had: Sangria pitcher Spanish Omelette Ham croquettes Garlic shrimp Paella Valenciana Leche FritaWe really enjoyed the food and I can’t think of anything negative to add to this place. I have tried other Spanish restaurants in Toronto and this one is by far the best I have been to.The chef came out to greet us, which was a wonderful touch.This will become a regular spot for me, which I have found hard to find in Etobicoke.
