Sammarco: Michelin-Recommended Italian Steakhouse in Toronto

Sammarco

Sammarco is the latest project from Michelin-starred chef Rob Rossi and David Minicucci, the team behind Toronto’s beloved Giulietta and Osteria Giulia. Here, they offer a fresh interpretation of the classic Italian steakhouse. The restaurant earned its Michelin Recommended status quickly, a testament to the precision and personality that defines the kitchen.

The menu reads as a confident blend of Italian contemporary cooking and steakhouse tradition. While the printed menus showcase a deep, well-curated wine list and a cocktail program that ranges from a perfect Negroni to a tableside-prepared Carlevale Martini, the focus is on bold, ingredient-driven cooking. The atmosphere balances the energy of a lively bar with the refinement of a fine dining room, making it a destination for both a serious meal and a celebratory night out.

With an interesting wine list, private dining options, and a bar program that invites lingering, Sammarco has quickly become a cornerstone of the Toronto dining scene. It’s a place where the spirit of an Italian steakhouse feels both timeless and entirely new.
