About COMO Sociale

Dining Society is preparing to introduce its newest restaurant concept,

COMO Sociale, opening in February 2027 in the heart of Etobicoke.

COMO Sociale reintroduces Italian dining with "Fire Italian"—a

bold, California-inspired approach to Italian cuisine. Capturing the spirit of

the effortless lifestyle of Lake Como, the restaurant pairs open-fire cooking

with a high-voltage atmosphere and an unmistakably social energy.

Built for a table that stays full, COMO Sociale is designed to deliver an

energetic, elevated dining experience where great food, exceptional drinks and

genuine hospitality come together.

COMO Sociale will be the third concept under the Dining Society umbrella,

joining our existing restaurants, Queen's Harbour in downtown Toronto and Taps

Public House in Mississauga.
