Don Alfonso 1890

Perched high above the city on the 38th floor of the Westin Harbour Castle, Don Alfonso 1890 Toronto offers more than a dining experience—it delivers a breathtaking journey that seamlessly blends world-renowned culinary artistry with sweeping views of Lake Ontario and the glittering skyline. As the only North American outpost of the legendary Don Alfonso 1890 brand, the restaurant brings the celebrated cuisine of Michelin-starred Chefs Alfonso and Ernesto Iaccarino to Canada in partnership with Liberty Entertainment Group.

At the helm of the Toronto kitchen is Chef Davide Ciavattella, a protégé of Chef Ernesto, who carries forward the Iaccarino family’s commitment to innovation, refinement, and Mediterranean tradition. With an impressive background in multiple Michelin-starred kitchens across Europe, Chef Ciavattella has crafted tasting menus that reflect both his Italian heritage and the bounty of seasonal Canadian ingredients. His cuisine is a marriage of flavours from the Amalfi Coast and Ontario’s terroir—delicate yet bold, modern yet rooted in tradition.

There are nearly 1,000 wines to choose from from the Wine Menu at Don Alfonso 1890.

The result is a dining experience that has garnered international acclaim. Since opening, Don Alfonso 1890 Toronto has been awarded a coveted Michelin Star (each year since 2022), recognized as the Best Italian Restaurant in the World (outside Italy) by 50 Top Italy, and celebrated with numerous other accolades. In 2022, it was also named to VineRoutes’ inaugural list of Ontario’s 25 Top Restaurants, cementing its reputation as one of the most distinguished culinary destinations in the country.

Contemporary, elegant design elements frame the panoramic views, creating a setting that feels both cosmopolitan and timeless. Each detail—from the artful plating to the polished service—reinforces the restaurant’s philosophy that dining should be an immersive experience, one that engages all the senses.

A celebration of culture, heritage, and innovation, every course tells a story of passion, precision, and place—whether that place is a sun-drenched lemon grove on the Amalfi Coast or a vineyard in Niagara.
