1147 Ristorante Serves Up Sleek Italian Lunches and Dinner Delights

Toronto’s dining scene gets a fresh, design-forward twist this June with the launch of 1147 Ristorante, an intimate culinary experience tailored for lovers of contemporary Italian cuisine, slow dining, and refined hospitality.

A Space That Feeds the Senses

From the moment you step in—bathed in natural light pouring through an open skylight—the dining room makes its artistic mark. Meticulously curated furnishings, handcrafted by local gallery artisans, sit in harmony with the restaurant’s architectural clarity. It’s elegant without pretense, a perfect canvas for the food that takes center stage.

Lunch: Simple, Soulful, Seasonal

Opening June 19, the midday menu (Wed–Sun, 12–4pm) arrives courtesy of a Romano-Siciliano chef whose roots trace back to the Mediterranean’s sun-drenched coasts. Think intensely regional fare served with warmth—house-made focaccia, heirloom produce, and pasta that speaks to its southern heritage. Word has it that Thursday risottos and Friday pasta specials will home in on the best seasonal ingredients.

Dinner: A Tech-Driven Taste Adventure

Dinner (Thurs–Sun, 7–midnight, last order 9:30pm; Sundays 6:30–10:30, last order 9pm) veers into adventurous territory under the guidance of a Tuscan chef trained in both butchery and molecular gastronomy at Castello Banfi. Guests should expect culinary-first courses and experimental pairings—each dish a sensorial composition, visually arresting and performance-worthy. It’s gastro-tech meets traditional Italian soul.

A Respite Beyond the Plate

1147 strides away from the bustle—offering long lunches and slow dinners in a serene setting. It’s a sanctuary for cultural patrons, design-minded diners, and guests yearning for that elusive balance between art and appetite.
