CACIO E PEPE
This Roman classic means pepper + cheese in its simplest form. Our hand cut tonnarelli egg pasta from the Lazio region of Italy is the key to creating the buttery sauce that is finished with toasted black pepper, Grano Padano + Pecorino

TWO DINING EXPERIENCES UNDER ONE ROOF
Located in First Canadian Place, in Toronto’s financial district, EDNA + VITA offers approachable upscale Italian cuisine in a sophisticated, lighthearted and engaging dining experience. This two-level establishment offers two dining experiences under one roof. Complementing each other through authentic Italian dishes, curated for socialized sharing and hand-crafted Italian inspired cocktails.

MORTADELLA + PISTACHIO
Our signature Mortadella + Pistachio pizza is the perfect comination of pistachio pesto, fior di latte, Grano Padano + lemon zest on our hand-stretched pizza dough + stone baked to perfection.

POLPETTA + POLENTA
Our traditional Italian polpetta (meatballs) are made with Angus beef, Ibérico pork and veal and slowly braised in San Marzano tomatoes chicken broth. Served on a soft bed of buttery polenta finished with hand torn basil and shaved Grana Padano.

THE STORY OF OUR PIZZA
There is no such thing as all-purpose flour in Italy, every flour has a purpose. So it’s no wonder Italy is famous for its milling practices. At EDNA + VITA we use 00 Italian Flour to create a poolish of water, flour and yeast which is left to preferment and cool proof for 48 hours. Then dough is then hand-stretched + stone baked to create a traditional crust with a new world crunch.

POLPO PUTTANESCA
Our house-made Polpo Puttanesca showcases our 5 hour braised octopus in a rustic mix of capers, black olives, Calabrian chilies, marinated sweet tomatoes, shallot vinaigrette and fresh parsley + dill. Served with olive oil brushed charred crostini.

TESTA DI MORO
This twist on an Old Fashioned was inspired by the headless statue made famous from White Lotus, warning us about what happens to those who break the trust of others. An Old Fashioned is the beacon of trusted cocktails and this rendition is faithful, beautiful, elegant, and a little showy.

RENEW + DELIGHT IN STYLE WITH EDNA
Inspired by timeless Italian sophistication, EDNA invites you to relax and experience a myriad of cultivated classics and share a toast from our sparkling bubble bar or a glass of wine from our extensive Italian inspired wine list.

SPIEDINI ALLA ROMANO
Our Spiedini Alla Romano is a roasted Italian loaf stuffed with Fior de latte and toasted in our stone baked pizza oven to char the crostini and melt the cheese. It is then drizzled with a house made garlic anchovy + caper sauce with a warm white wine, fresh lemon, butter reduction.

PERFECT FOR ANY EVENT
EDNA + VITA offers two private dining rooms. Whether it’s a meeting, corporate function or social celebration, our spaces provide the perfect backdrop for a memorable occassion.

A lively, energetic and fast paced environment where food is served as soon as it's ready, and not meant to be overly formal. It’s a continuous dining experience where no dish waits for the next and food is constantly being added to the table and conversation.

THE STORY OF OUR FRESH MADE PASTA
Our hand-made pasta recipes are curated for each dish. Our tonnarelli + tagliatelle are made with durum wheat, 00 Italian flour + whole eggs, hand cut or extruded.

A celebration of Financial District life.

AUTHENTICALLY EATING THE WAY ITALIANS DO
Culturally, sharing food is incredibly important in Italy. Food is social, communal, and a source of connection to one's family and friends.

BELLA, CIAO, CIAO, CIAO
The cosmopolitan is making a comeback + we gave it an Italian flair. Using our housemade 'cranpari', this Italian cosmo has the same rebellious spirit as the classic song "Bella, Ciao". Campari, vodka, maraschino liqueur, peach + lime are shaken + fine strained leaving the perfect canvas for our signature cocktail design.

AGNELLO ALLA SCOTTADITO
Agnello alla Scottadito, meaning 'burning lamb' are in-house marinated lamb chops grilled to perfection on a char grill served with a classic salsa verde. Infused with garlic, thyme, rosemary, anchovy, capers, olives + red wine vinegar, these are the perfect addition to a dinner shared with friends.

ENZONI - SOTTO PRESSIONE
This spin on a negroni is made by using sous pression. Green grapes, gin, aperol, campari, simple syrup + lemon are placed in a sealed keg and frozen for 24 hours, then it remains in the keg for at least 12 hours, prior to being served. The end product is a refreshing + crisp take on a negroni, served with an infused grape.

ZUCCA AGNOLOTTI
Our house-made agnolotti is made with a flattened pasta dough that is folded over filling similar to ravioli but made from a single sheet of pasta. Filled with pumpkin, mascarpone, ricotta, Grana Padano, honey, lemon + nutmeg. Tossed in a buttery lemon broth with asparagus + toasted hazelnuts.

SHAREABLE. ITALIAN. RISTORANTE
Dinner is meant for sharing among 2-4 people, splitting an assaggini board or ordering a mix of different small pasta plates to share, that communal style of dining is what EDNA + VITA is designed for.

RADIATORI ALLA GENOVESE
Radiatori gets its name from being shaped after little radiators. It is said this pasta was created between the 1920s and 1940s and that the unique shape allows it to hold thick sauces and meaty ragus. Our Genovese inspired dish is tossed in our house-made pesto, oven roasted tomatoes, asparagus, roasted red peppers, garlic + whipped ricotta.

CHE CASINO
Che Casino, the equivalent of a 'Hot Mess' is a perfect cocktail for the bon vivant seeking out adventure after a long day spent in the office. Its sweet + spicy like the life of the party, but unique + one of a kind with it's Italian inspired spicy oregano rim. It's also a margarita.
