About Us

Canto is an elevated-yet-approachable, chef-driven restaurant located within the historic Old Mill Toronto Hotel, offering contemporary Italian-influenced cuisine rooted in local, seasonal ingredients. Canto balances Italian tradition with global influence and Canadian ingredients to create dishes that are fresh, flavour-forward and thoughtfully composed — from shareable starters and elevated pastas to refined proteins. Distinct from yet complementary to the Old Mill, Canto represents a modern evolution of the property, delivering warm hospitality, personalized service and a refined-but-relaxed dining experience. Whether joining us for an intimate dinner, a special celebration or a casual evening out, guests are welcomed into a space designed to feel inviting, memorable and always worth returning to.
