About The Secret Italian

Scarborough locals head to this Doric Street spot for woodfired crusts, tender calamari, and rich braised beef cheek ravioli. Regulars pack the cosy dining room and alfresco tables while Italian tunes drift across the floor. On Friday nights, live acoustic sets dial up the volume alongside carafes of Chianti DOCG. Dinner wraps up over classic tiramisù and slices of cassata.

  • Woodfired Pies & Fresh Pasta: Woodfired pizzas deliver a crisp chew, paired with fresh plates of beef cheek ravioli and handmade pasta.
  • Acoustic Friday Sessions: Friday dinner services come alive with acoustic bands and Italian background tunes.
  • Accommodating Celebrations: Staff adjust seating on the fly and tailor menus for birthdays, family dinners, and larger parties.
