Joso's - Toronto

Celebrated my birthday dinner here with my boyfriend and we had such a great time. Such an interesting restaurant with very stimulating decor. Definitely fits the sensual theme. You can feel it 's rich history, and it just has an overall home y feeling. Here 's what we ordered: For Spaghetti Alla Leonardo $33 7/10 For Mains Clams, Mussels w/ white sauce $32 full pasta $9 7/10 (pretty much a spaghetti) Grilled Octopus (half dish) $36 10/10 i recommend trying this !!!! For Fish the Spigola (Sea Bass) $40 8/10 For Dessert Mango Sorbet $6 8/10 Lemon Sorbet $12 10/10 Everything was delicious. I would recommend trying some of their fish of the week. The Spigola we had was so good, flaky and soft. I 've never had Grilled Octopus like this in my life, definitely recommend trying that. The lemon sorbet was just too cute, comes in a whole rind with a little hat haha. We had a couple servers cycle in and out but each of them took time and effort to explain the menu and what their seafood of the week was. And to ensure we had everything we needed and that we were happy at all times.

Had an amazing time at Joso's! The atmosphere was cozy, and the whole experience was top-notch. Tried the Pescatora--it's a seafood dream with a touch of tomato, fisherman's style. Fresh and flavorful, every bite was a delight. The chefs really know their stuff! Wrapped up with Tiramisu for dessert. It was the perfect ending--just sweet enough without going overboard. Loved it!

We went to josos as a big group and the experience was really nice. The first thing I noticed is how homey and warm the whole restaurant feels the interior is nicely lit and there's a lot of creative art hanging on the walls. The service we got all night was very attentive and helpful. The staff around the restaurant answered all of our questions about the menu which led to a very positive experience. The food itself was really delicious. We started off with the calamari, which is a must. We also got the grilled octopus, fish of the day sea bream, Leonardo spaghetti, and a risotto. All the fish was grilled really nicely, and the pastas packed a lot of flavor. My personal favourite dish was the Leonardo spaghetti. It had a really nice simple lemon sauce that tasted amazing. For dessert we got the tiramisu the cookies and my personal favourite the lemon sorbet, which was served in a frozen lemon peel. I thought the presentation was very interesting and it was a really nice refreshing dessert to end the meal. Overall, we had a really nice time and I would definitely recommend josos for either a date or a night out with a group.

I can confidently say that Josos is an absolute gem! From start to finish, my experience at was nothing short of exceptional. I first have to mention that the staff did an incredible job with my very specific request which was to be seated at a certain table. Now onto the food Josos serves up some of the most fantastic seafood dishes I have ever tasted. The fish, which was only seasoned with salt, pepper, lemon, and olive oil, was so fresh and flavorful that it melted in my mouth with every bite. The calamari was cooked to perfection crispy on the outside, yet tender and juicy on the inside. Don't even get me started on the seafood pasta! The combination of fresh clams, shrimp, and mussels in a light sauce was simply divine. Beyond the food, the ambiance of was equally impressive. The cozy yet elegant decor sets the perfect atmosphere for a relaxing and enjoyable dining experience. The friendly and attentive staff made me feel right at home, and their recommendations for dishes and wine pairings were spot on. All in all, I can confidently say that Josos offers some of the best seafood available in Toronto. If you're a seafood lover, you simply cannot miss out on this dining experience. Five stars, without a doubt!

Ordered: Calamari Shrimp Kornati ~CAD$30): a Joso's specialty; lightly floured, canola fried Grilled Octopus ~CAD$36): tentacles grilled whole, drizzled with olive oil and garlic Alla Siciliana ~CAD$36): a recipe unique to Joso's; cuttlefish sepia) simmered in its black ink Tiramisu ~CAD$14) Glass of Grasevina ~CAD$14): white wine from Croatia Aya's take: What an excellent dining experience! First trip to Toronto and being a huge Drake fan, I already had high expectations. We were seated upstairs right across from the infamous booth were Drake was seated. That table was occupied but we were able to take photos there once that party left; the staff was super chill about it as long as it's not busy and you're not disruptive. Joso's is filled with art on all the walls which was fascinating to take a deep look at while waiting for dinner. The Glass of Grasevina was pleasant, fresh, and dry with a delicious aroma. One of my favorites! In terms of food, you can tell it was all prepared with utmost care and simple yet traditional flavors. The Calamari Shrimp Kornati was light, crispy, and just the right amount of saltiness. I absolutely loved the Alla Siciliana. Paired with the Grilled Octopus, both were remarkable dishes. The Octopus was also tender yet firm. The Tiramisu was tasty and light with balanced sweetness but not too memorable. All in all, this was one of my favorite dining experiences. Decently priced, amazing service, and outstanding food/drinks!
