    Why go

    Little Anthony's is a practical downtown Toronto choice when location and easy planning matter more than a hard-to-book dining event. It works well for business meals, repeat visits, pre- or post-event dinners in the core, but it is not the obvious pick for a counter-led or award-driven night out.

    About Little Anthony's

    Little Anthony's is a Toronto restaurant with hours that make it practical for weekday dining and Saturday evening plans. The schedule is direct: it is open Monday to Friday from 11:30 AM to 10 PM, Saturday from 5 to 10 PM, closed Sunday. The dress code is smart casual.

    A Toronto restaurant with clear planning details

    The most useful way to plan around Little Anthony's is to start with the basics. Weekdays offer the broadest window, while Saturday is limited to evening hours and Sunday is closed. If timing is important, confirm current availability directly before going.

    Do not assume a particular cuisine, menu format, pricing, seating style, or service style in advance. For a broader Toronto dining plan, use our full Toronto restaurants guide and compare other Toronto options such as Alobar Downtown, CHEFS HALL, Edna + Vita, Mott 32 Toronto, Senla.

    Use the hours to plan the visit

    For a broader Toronto itinerary, keep the restaurant decision separate from hotel, bar, winery, experience planning: our full Toronto hotels guide, our full Toronto bars guide, our full Toronto wineries guide, our full Toronto experiences guide are better for those categories. If you are comparing dining styles beyond this venue, use current, venue-specific details before making a reservation.

    The takeThis is a dependable pick for midday business meals and intentional evening dinners. The write-up specifically calls Little Anthony’s a "power-lunch address," so it suits structured workday dining and client-facing meetings; at the same time, its positioning as a destination restaurant makes it appropriate for evening reservations and celebrations. The room’s professional tone and the menu’s contemporary Italian focus make the restaurant a natural fit for diners seeking a serious, well-executed meal in the Financial District rather than a casual drop-in.

    The take

    The Take

    The Vibe

    Little Anthony’s sits squarely within Richmond Street’s tier of serious dining, balancing the businesslike energy of the Financial District with the polish of contemporary Italian restaurants. The room is built to perform for power lunches and to register as a destination in the evening, so the front-of-house is as much a part of the restaurant’s identity as the kitchen. Expect a sophisticated, modern sensibility that nods to Italian traditions while executing them through an ingredient-driven, metropolitan lens. The overall impression is professional and refined without feeling starchy or overly formal.

    Ordering Tips

    The profile highlights Little Anthony’s placement within an upper tier of Italian cooking and supplies several signature dishes to anchor an order. Lean into those signatures—Seafood Risotto, Braised Short Rib, and the Gorgonzola Salad—when you want a clear sense of the kitchen’s approach. Given the restaurant’s positioning as both a power-lunch and destination spot, allow time for composed, ingredient-driven preparations; ordering one of the highlighted mains alongside a composed salad gives a representative picture of the menu’s balance between classic flavors and contemporary technique.

    How it compares downtown

    Choose Little Anthony's when the brief is simple: central Toronto, easier booking, a conventional sit-down meal that can support work plans or an evening nearby. Alobar Downtown is the better cross-shop for a more polished night out, while CHEFS HALL makes more sense for groups that want flexibility and less commitment to one dining format.

    Mott 32 Toronto is the stronger choice when ambiance and occasion energy are the priority, especially for a group willing to plan around a more deliberate dinner. Senla and Edna + Vita are better alternatives when the goal is to try somewhere different rather than default to a downtown standby.

    For value, Little Anthony's wins on practicality if the location saves time and the booking is easy. For a more memorable room, look to Alobar Downtown or Mott 32 Toronto; for the easiest group logistics, CHEFS HALL is the safer backup.
