    I only get the paninis every time I come, but what paninis they are. The taste of a freshly made veal or steak sandwich is to die for. I just wish it was a bit less messy to eat.

    Ti adore! I absolutely loved this place. What a terrific small family run restaurant. This is exactly what Yelp is for!

    Everything from the food to the service to the ambience was just fantastic!

    With a reservation for 10 people, Regina's was the perfect place for a little family gathering. We started off with antipasto platters that were the perfect way to start off a meal. Tomato & buffalo mozzarella of course, grilled zucchini, meats and cheeses and a few other delightful starters.

    Main meals - what a selection! Every pizza and pasta you could possibly dream of - and they're great about customizing orders. You're able to chose your preferred sauce for pasta (which is always a nice treat), and everything we ordered was raved about. Spaghetti and clams, gnocchi, manicotti, lasagna... everyone cleaned their plate! Lots of sharing happening too...

    There was fresh bread, our waters were constantly filled, the staff was beyond lovely, and it has a lively but quaint atmosphere. It was really the perfect place to catch up with family over food, wine and a few Birra Moretti's.

    Main dishes ranged from $11 - $16 ish, salads in the $7 range, apps the same. Reasonably priced considering the tastiness!

    Only disappointment - Only tiramisu for dessert. But they came with fresh blueberries, strawberries, and were devoured as well.
    Also street parking is limited - there is a Metro just East of Regina's, but it's $10 for non-grocery shoppers!

    Best pizza in the City! (Even better than Bitondo's... but more expensive so I tend to get Bitondo's more.)

    Order it with bacon and you will be rewarded.

    Their caeser salad is also SO GOOD!

    The rest of their food is good, but I once ordered the fettucini alfredo and it tasted like noodles and egg nog with nutmeg.  It was very soupy and cold.  Hopefully it was just a fluke thing.

    The very friendly owner really is Robert DiNiro's doppleganger!

    Popped in with a party of eight for lunch on a Saturday Afternoon.  Was surprised that we were the only people in the place, but it was Saturday after Good Friday and we were early, around noon.  

    We were looking for a quick lunch, so ordered a couple of pizzas and salad, and the pizzas were excellent, rivalling anything we've had in Brooklyn & Manhattan.  Thin crust, great sauce, yum!  Everyone in our party agreed that the cheese pizza was the best, the mark of a great pizza place.  

    We'll definitely make a return trip here and try other menu items.

    I gotta give big props to Regina Pizzeria.

    The pizza here is just absolutely amazing. I'm not even a big pizza fan but this place makes me go crazy (in a good way). I'm salivating right now just typing about it.

    If you dine in, the pizzas are brought out on the big pedestal-type silver serving platters. The flavour of the pizza is just WOW...I don't know if it's the sauce, the crust or what but each mouthful is just delicious. I usually get the one made with grilled chicken and various grilled veggies (eggplant, red peppers) and sundried tomatoes.

    Pizzas are hefty in size, not thin crust but not quite deep dish either, a medium size serves two hungry eaters.

    Meh. Lasagna was mushy and the pizza lacking. Generally too salty.  Guess you can't trust all yelp reviews.   Service wasn't good either.

    I've been here a few times in the past year but my last experience compelled me to finally write a review... The food her is incredible and the staff have always been nice and efficient.

    This time around I ordered the Penne Regina. I should have known any dish named after the restaurant had to have been good. But before our mains even arrived they gave us some fresh bread and it was so soft it tasted like cake. I don't usually fill up on bread before a meal but this stuff was hard to resist. Then my penne came and it was so rich and full of flavour. It was drenched in creamy rose sauce with chicken, eggplant and zucchini I believe. I don't usually get full but half way through this dish I began slowing down... Maybe it was the bread.

    Definitely an ideal place to hit up for some Italian cuisine when in Little Italy. Two or three people came in for takeaway while we were there and they seemed like old friends of the restaurant. And just before we left a family walked in and the kitchen staff came out and gave them kisses like in the Godfather. Nice touch.

    I came here for my friend's birthday last weekend.

    One thing to note: if I go to an Italian restaurant, it has to be a "real" Italian restaurant, where they don't smother everything in cheese. I am one of those pathetic souls who is allergic to dairy.

    That being said, the service was a little slow, but tolerable because we were definitely enjoying each other's company, we were a table of 12 and the place was packed. Also, the owner/manager looks like the spitting image of Robert DeNiro. I'm not sure why that makes it okay but it does.

    I had the meat ravioli, DELIGHTED that it didn't have any cheese in it. Seriously, this is the first time in 5 years I've had ravioli. And it was DELICIOUS and filling!! The rest of the table had pizzas and pastas, and they were all very pleased with them.

    The atmosphere is friendly, busy without being claustrophobic and bright. A great place for a fun dinner with friends.

    The pizza might be good but the salad/pasta meal was weak. The Caesar salad was $7 for unimpressive lettuce smothered in dressing that tasted like fish. I'm aware an important ingredient in the dressing is anchovies but this fishy taste totally takes the whole thing over. I couldn't eat it. The Alfredo sauce was tasty but the onions I ordered in it weren't cooked well and the pasta itself was forgettable. I can't believe I spent $27 on a meal like this.

    Went there last night. Service was terrible--only 2 waiters for the entire restaurant. Ordered veal chop medium and it came well done, tasteless and tiny. Requested  2 orders of very spicy pasta - they forget to make the orders spicy. Asked for no mussels on the pasta - the pasta came with mussels. Not once did the waiter follow up to ask, "how's everything?" Well, I'm telling you now, it was TERRIBLE and I'll never go back. College Street and other streets in Toronto are full of so many other wonderful Italian restaurants. Don't waste your time and money.
