I live 4.5 hours away form Toronto and stumbled upon Marinela's about five years ago while visiting my brother. It was fantastic then and it's fantastic now. Even though we make it there only two or three times a year, John Soraci remembers us and makes us feel as though we are there three times a week. We dined there on the last night before their move. We were provided with free foccachia bread and dessert. Needless to say we'll be visiting the new restaurant once they're up and running.

I have been coming to Marinelas since day 1 and it is definitely the best kept secret in town. The food is phenomenal, the service is exceptional, whether they have 40 people or 2 the level of service is the same. But the main thing about Marinelas is the quality of the food. I promise you that once you try it you will always go back.

What a find in Toronto!! I was walking down King Street and saw the sign on the side of the building. My husband and I dined there recently and loved it! The food was spectacular (try the Lobster Risotto) and the service impeccable. John Soraci and the rest of the staff are so accommodating. They will prepare anything even if not on the menu. Can't wait to go back.

My wife and I have been regulars for quite a while. Last time out I had the best meal I ever had. It was a venison dish that was to die for. I don't know how they do it but every time we go it just gets better!
