Academy

Located at 4894 Dundas Street West, the Academy is in the heart of West Toronto's Islington Village. It's situated at the former site of Kirkby Hardware, a former landmark in this area. Cirillo's Culinary Academy opened its doors on January 14, 2009. After 25 years of culinary experience in classical European and innovative Canadian cuisine, Chef Cirillo followed his dream of opening his own cooking school. His vision for the Academy was very clear. He wanted it to be warm and inviting yet state-of-the-art. He wanted the space to be unique, functional and comfortable giving customers the illusion they were cooking at home in someone's kitchen. To help make his vision a reality, John teamed up with Designer Glen Peloso. A household name, thanks to appearances on Restaurant Makeover and Take this House and Sell It.
