Notte Ristorante (Amano Trattoria)

Located at 9 Church Street in Toronto's historic Old Town, Notte Ristorante presents a modern Italian dining experience. Opening its doors on January 10, 2026, Notte Ristorante evolved from the well-regarded Amano Trattoria and Bar Notte, maintaining the same culinary team and standards. Owned by Open Concept Hospitality, with co-owner and Executive Chef Michael Angeloni leading the kitchen, the restaurant aims to provide a relaxed, evening-driven atmosphere encouraging guests to linger and enjoy their night. Notte's menu embraces a contemporary Italian approach, featuring dishes crafted from scratch with locally sourced ingredients, showcasing regional inspirations from across Italy. While specific signature dishes for Notte include handmade pasta and amaro cocktails, its predecessor, Amano Trattoria, was known for refined plates such as roasted squash risotto, Roman-style pinsa, and a highly praised tiramisu. Co-owner Yannick Bigourdan is recognized as a Michelin-recommended restaurateur. Notte Ristorante also houses Pasta Privato, a hidden restaurant offering a pasta-heavy tasting menu. The restaurant holds a strong public track record with a Google rating of 4.5 based on over 1,000 reviews, reflecting its elegant yet approachable charm.
