We were searching for a fun and interesting tasting menu, and Ficoa did not disappoint! We have experienced many in Toronto, and this is the first one where the chef's love and passion truly shone through. Each dish was presented by chef Gerry himself, or a member of his knowledgeable staff, who explained not only the components of each plate, but why each was meaningful to him. This translates into the atmosphere of the restaurant itself, which is warm, comfortable and inviting. Thank you chef Gerry and team for bringing us into your home.

Amazing food and I cannot rave about the service enough. The waitress, chef and bartender all went out of their way to make the entire tasting menu an incredible and unforgettable experience. From the second we walked in to the second we left, the entire team made a conscious effort to elevate every part of our experience. If you are fortunate enough to make a reservation, you will not regret it!

My wife and I discovered a hidden culinary gem in Toronto's Little Italy. Chef Gerry Quintero's innovative tasting menu took us on an unforgettable gastronomic journey. The "Let us cook for you" concept perfectly captured our experience as we savored each meticulously crafted dish. Moving through different spaces during our meal added an element of surprise and excitement. We were impressed by the chef's passion, evident in every plate that told a story of Toronto's diverse flavors. The attentive staff enhanced our evening with their knowledge and personalized service. From the seasonal ingredients to the Mexican-inspired touches, each course was a delightful revelation. Without a doubt, our dinner at Ficoa was one of the best culinary experiences we've had in Toronto, a memory we'll cherish for years to come.
