Piano Piano

What is Piano Piano? Occupying a three-level space at 1006 Bloor Street West right next to the historic Paradise Theatre, Piano Piano brings chef Victor Barry and Nikki Leigh McKean’s signature high-energy Italian dining to Bloorcourt. The interior, designed by Future Studio, leans into decadent Orient Express and vintage Hollywood glamour with saturated jewel tones, animal-print banquettes, and dramatic lighting, complemented by a cocktail bar and street-facing patio seating.

Piano Piano Menu & What to Order While the kitchen handles everything from crullers topped with Kaluga caviar to bone-in veal parmigiana, the sourdough crust pizzas and handmade pastas remain essential orders. Don't skip the Sweet Hornet pizza drizzled with spicy honey and soppressata, the rich mushroom cavatelli tossed with truffle paste, or the signature Caesar salad loaded with thick-cut Canadian pork belly and boquerones. Pair your meal with an Italian spritz, a pour from Tawse Winery's custom house labels, and finish with the indulgent Nutella tiramisu.

Know Before You Go Reservations through OpenTable or the restaurant website are strongly advised for dinner and weekend brunch, though the bar and front dining areas accommodate limited walk-ins. Due to its proximity to Paradise Theatre, the room packs out right before evening screenings, making a pre-theatre booking or late-evening seating the smoothest move. Street parking is tight along Bloor, so take the Line 2 subway to Ossington or Dufferin station for an easy five-minute walk.
