5th Anniversary Dinner at Don Alfonso 1890 | Michelin-Star Italian Dining in Toronto 🍽️✨
Hey everyone! Welcome back to our channel! 🎉 Today is a very special day as we celebrate our 5th wedding anniversary, and what better way to do it than with an unforgettable Michelin-star dining experience at Don Alfonso 1890 Toronto? 🌟
Located on the 38th floor, Don Alfonso 1890 is one of the most prestigious Italian restaurants in Canada, offering breathtaking panoramic views of Toronto and an exquisite fine-dining menu curated by world-class chefs. From the moment we stepped in, we were captivated by the luxurious ambiance, elegant décor, and warm hospitality.
Our Dining Experience at Don Alfonso 1890 🍽️
We decided to go for the A La Carte menu ($150 per person) instead of the Signature ($225) or Contemporary menu ($225) because we wanted more flexibility in our choices. Here’s what we had:
🍞 Complimentary Bread & Truffle Sauce – The bread was warm, fresh, and paired perfectly with the rich and aromatic truffle sauce. A great start!
🥂 Canapés – Another delightful complimentary surprise! The presentation was stunning, and the waiter gave us a detailed explanation of each bite-sized appetizer.
First Course: Antipasti
🧑💼 Shazzad’s Choice – IL CARPACCIO: Ontario Wagyu beef tenderloin with Dijon mustard sauce, balsamic vinegar caviar, Piedmont hazelnuts, and fresh wild herbs. The beef was creamy, tender, and bursting with flavors! 😍
👩 Moon’s Choice – L’ANGUILLA: Eel gelato with sturgeon caviar, wild rose-scented tagliatelle, pulverized egg yolk, and minced wild herbs. The chef mentioned this is one of their most-ordered dishes, and we could see why—it was unique and delicious!
Second Course: Primi (Pasta/Risotto)
🧑💼 Shazzad’s Choice – I PACCHERI: Braised lamb shank with saffron rice cream, gremolata, and provolone cheese fondue, prepared table-side! The waiter explained every step as they plated it. While it was rich and flavorful, it was slightly salty for our taste.
👩 Moon’s Choice – IL RISOTTO: Acquerello rice aged one year, served with Neapolitan ragout, smoked mozzarella, organic peas, pearl meatballs, and basil sauce. The flavors were well-balanced, but what stood out was the beautiful serving plate!
Third Course: Secondi (Main Dishes)
🧑💼 Shazzad’s Choice – L’ASTICE: Nova Scotia lobster with mixed Ontario mushrooms, escarole involtino, and trout roe. The lobster was cooked to perfection, buttery and tender!
👩 Moon’s Choice – IL BISONTE: Organic Manitoba bison tenderloin wrapped in Swiss chard, guanciale, buffalo mozzarella, salsa verde, and San Marzano chili reduction. The combination of textures and flavors was incredible, and the sauce added a nice depth to the dish.
Final Surprise: Complimentary Dessert! 🍰
Just when we thought the experience was over, the restaurant surprised us with a complimentary dessert to celebrate our anniversary! 🎉 Such a thoughtful touch that made the evening even more special.
Final Thoughts & Cost Breakdown 💰
For two people, our total bill came to $300. But thanks to our AMEX Platinum card, we used the $200 annual dining credit, meaning we only paid $100 out of pocket! What a steal for a Michelin-star experience! 💳🔥
Would we recommend Don Alfonso 1890? Absolutely! The food, service, and ambiance make it a perfect spot for special occasions.
