About Us

Joe Badali’s Ristorante Italiano & Bar brings the taste of Italy to the heart of Toronto. Our fine Country Italian Cuisine and magnificent landscape captures the charm and savorie of Italy as well as our great city.

A little piece of Italian Countryside.

One visit to Joe’s own little piece of Italian Countryside and you’ll immediately feel like you’re one of the family. Joe and his extended family welcome you with open arms. “Remember, once a Badali – always a Badali”.

Joe Badali’s occupies almost 13,000 square feet of an historic 100 year old building featuring exposed brick walls, original hardwood floors and an exposed 16 foot wooden ceiling.

Joe Badali’s is interestingly comprised of many rooms, nooks and crannies. When you first enter through our antique wooden revolving door, you’ll cheerfully be greeted by a member of the family at the front door.

The Piazza
Through a small opening in the old brick wall, you’ll pass into Joe’s pride and joy. “The Piazza” is highlighted by a fountain that makes you feel like you’ve been transported to a garden Piazza in Italy.

The West Dining Room
Adjacent to The Piazza is the West Dining Room, with its sundrenched western exposure and rustic pottery wall.

The East Dining Room
To the right of The Piazza is the intimate East Dining Room with its picture painted walls and old world charm.
