Eataly

Il Marin is Genoa's clearest answer for Michelin-starred seafood, holding a 2024 one star and an OAD Top Restaurants in Europe ranking.

Eataly Don Mills is worth using for flexible group meals, casual Italian-leaning eating, browsing before or after a meal.

La Piazza is a practical Yorkville pick for an easy lunch, early dinner, or casual group meal near Bloor.

Terra is a practical Century City rooftop choice for a date, business meal, or low-pressure celebration.
