About Us

1989

It was a beautiful year. The year this husband and wife team got married and the same year they opened Ultra Ristorante.

From their kids scrambling through their kitchen, to their grandparents making meatballs in the apartment above, the Ultra Ristorante took years of love and work to help make come true.

We are a proud family establishment with 30 years in the business and still striving to impress and bless those around us.
1997

It was time to take the restaurant to new heights. We opened up two new locations around the greater Toronto area and were breathless when they opened up to great reviews.

We chose to focus and hone our commitment to quality and freshness, and it has always served us well.
2019

Even though we’ve been offered to launch a franchise or asked to sell our restaurants, we’ve always believed in staying true to our own nature.

That is to keep things in the family while opening doors for the beautiful mosaic of our country’s people to flood through to share our customs and culture with.

Industry Reviews

Some of the best and brightest have sat down to eat with us.

Food flavours are well balanced with specials that are actually great dishes. Pasta dishes are a favourite of mine here. They’re heads and tails better than the big chain restaurants. Reservations are definitely recommended.

Jennifer Turner Executive Chef Petite Toulouse
Their Italian food is, in my opinion, the most delicious in the city. The menu is extensive and offers pasta, pizza, meat, and seafood dishes. Very friendly and efficient staff that provide top-notch service. Great decor, great atmosphere, and appeals to couples and families.
