The team behind Toronto’s Enoteca Sociale, a Michelin Bib Gourmand award recipient, have launched their latest dining venture — Ristorante Sociale.
Located in the city’s lively King West neighbourhood at 545 King Street W., guests are invited to a convivial experience featuring upscale dinner service that transitions into a sophisticated celebration with live entertainment including dining room dancers and a nightly DJ.
Ristorante Sociale is open Wednesday through Saturday, offering dinner from 5:30 to 11:00 p.m., with bar service through to 2:00 a.m. from Thursday through Saturday.
The space is available for private events on Sundays.
On Fridays and Saturdays beginning at 8:30 p.m., Ristorante Sociale offers a truly immersive experience as enchanting dancers emerge from the wings, visiting guests at their table throughout the night.
On Thursday through to Saturday beginning at 11:00 p.m., the exciting nighttime energy King West is known for is embraced: anticipation builds as the restaurant’s lights are dimmed and the dining room transforms into a lively celebration while the DJ continues to spin.
Guests can mingle and visit the bar or order bottle service until last call.
Experiences can be tailored to large groups with advance reservations.
Known for some of the best Italian dishes in the city and their accompanying restaurant concepts, Ristorante Sociale was conceptualized by Partners Deni Di Tullio, Chef Kyle Rindinella, Chef Rocco Agostino and restaurateur Max Rimaldi of Michelin-awarded Enoteca Sociale.
In addition to Chef Kyle Rindinella’s extensive culinary knowledge, Deni Di Tullio’s 30 years of entrepreneurial and management expertise are a driving force behind this new venture and the continuing growth of Sociale Group.
Partner and Executive Chef Kyle Rindinella bring his passion for traditional Italian cuisine and the inclusion of local and seasonal ingredients to the menu at Ristorante Sociale.
Driven by his expertise in Roman cuisine and Italian wines he has curated a sophisticated menu of Roman flavours with Tuscan influence, including fresh pasta, seafood, and steaks as well as classic Roman wines and signature cocktails that capture the essence of Italian gastronomy.
Ristorante Sociale’s 3,700 square floor plan can seat up to 110 guests.
The upscale space was inspired by 1970s Italian steakhouses, featuring deep, earthy hues paired with gold accents and chic walnut for an air of antique luxury.
Designed by Westgrove Design Ltd., the restaurant features millwork by J.C Millwork & Cabinetry and furniture by Studio 22.
