Porzia is an Italian restaurant located in Toronto’s West Queen West neighbourhood of Parkdale.
Led by chef/owner Basilio Pesce, our staff believes in building memories around food and eating. It’s simple: We like feeding people.
We use local, ethically grown and raised ingredients to create menu items that vary depending on the season (our wine, beer, and cocktail lists also rotate). We believe this keeps things interesting for our staff and, most importantly, our guests. If you like to eat and drink, you’ll probably like it here.

With so many friendly and curious passers-by asking to see our menu, we figured we’d share it with you online too. You’ll be pleased to know that we use mostly local ingredients and, of course, we like to do things in-house too. Please keep in mind that some items are subject to change.

Dry, juicy, lemon-lime, apple, strong acidity, touch of cream. Like serious sherbet made of red fruit cocktail. Creamy and brightly acidic. gorgeous and refreshing at the same time. Styled right between sparkling grape juice and wine, but having true depth coming from the quality of grape.

franciacorta brut cuvee - bellavista NC lombardy
Ripe pear, toasty, lush, creamy & elegant. The grapes used are 90% Chardonnay and 10% Pinot Bianco and Pinot Nero. The mousse is white, lively and persistent, the bubbles are small and long-lasting. The colour is light yellow with hints of green. The perfume is full, inviting, rich in ripe fruits, chlorophyll and vanilla; these perfumes are fully reflected in the taste, and are echoed in the aftertaste.
