Friuli Trattoria Maginhawa Branch

Food is reasonably priced. Delicious and generous servings, you get what you paid for. Chicken barbecue pizza had good mozzarella cheese, however I think it didn’t have enough chicken. Pesto pasta is ordinary, but good. I wish there was chicken topping. Favorite was the fried ravioli stuffed in beef with tomato sauce. It’s a hole in the wall restaurant, a relatively small place. It’s a type of restaurant where you can clearly hear convos of other diners. So if you would like to talk intimately, this isn’t the place. In general, I think I will still go to the place if I want something affordable and pizza that’s not too greasy or “too much”.

Friuli Trattoria is a hidden gem for anyone craving authentic Italian cuisine. I recently visited this charming restaurant, and I must say, it exceeded my expectations in every way. The menu offers a delightful variety of classic Italian dishes, from wood-fired pizzas to creamy pastas and hearty mains. I tried their signature Carbonara and Margherita Pizza, both of which were cooked to perfection. The flavors were rich, fresh, and authentically Italian, showcasing the chef's expertise in traditional recipes. What stood out the most was the price. For the quality of food and generous portions, the prices are very reasonable. It’s rare to find such a perfect balance of affordability and quality, making it a great spot for casual dining or even special occasions. The ambiance of the restaurant is cozy and inviting, with warm lighting and tasteful décor that transports you to a little corner of Italy. The staff were attentive and friendly, ensuring a pleasant dining experience from start to finish. Whether you’re a fan of Italian cuisine or just looking for a great dining experience that won’t break the bank, Friuli Trattoria is worth a visit. I’ll definitely be coming back to explore more of their menu!

The Bistecca, for me, is a great breakfast meal. The restauramt accomodated my request of rare-doneness, and they obliged. It was perfect. The sauce pairs perfectly along with the rice and mashed potato side dish. I also recommend their All Meat Pizza. We added extra mozzarella topping, and it was perfect with the right amout of oiliness and cheese pull. Price I would say is reasonable for the quantity and quality of our order.

Friuli Trattoria (taken from the name Friuli, a region in Italy, and Trattoria, which is more informal than ristorante), is a small cafe offering Italian-style pizzas and pastas. It is located along Maginhawa St., and a walking distance from the Mudcake Cafe. When you choose half and half pizzas, you pay only the highest price, particularly on the pizza chosen. A half and a half means you can select two flavour choices in one 10-inch pizza if you are unsure of the choices. There were pastas, too. The cafe had a duplex-style structure, where the other half is your dining area, and the first half is the cashiering area, with a toilet at the back. Toilet, however, doesn't look pleasant, but it has bidet too. Parking is limited to 3 vehicles in a slope position.

Simple yet delicious food esp if u are craving on a Friday night. I like the fact that they allow ordering half and half on the pizza flavors if you can't decide what to choose. Truffle Pasta also complemented well with the pizza and Mozarella since both are crunchy. Their menu could be improved to laminated ones for a more appealing factor. Looking forward to go back and try other dishes ✨
