Went for wine tasting. Great place, good friendly people. Going back next year.

Very friendly staff, great vibe that makes you feel like you're in Italy and amazing food! I couldn't recommend the gnocchi more highly. If you think you've had gnocchi before, think again! Honestly, the only thing that wasn't perfection was that at the very beginning, while we were sitting down, we were asked if we'd like sparkling or still water. My wife chose sparkling. At the end of the meal, on the bill we we were charged $8. Just something to keep in mind as we weren't aware there would be an extra charge for it

Let me start by saying that this has been our favorite restaurant in the area for many years and we have enjoyed many great visit. On this visit things just seemed to be off for some reason. We arrived at 6645 for a 7pm restaurant and the found the patio closed, temp outside was likely over 25, yes it had rained about 4 hours earlier at 3pm. In talking to staff no real good reason was given why the Patio was closed. Nonetheless we started ordering an order a couple appetizer that are out to go including the potato pizza, it did not disappoint. 0odered the seafood fergola initially, waitress came back and apologized they were out. It’s 7pm on a Friday in the middle of the busy Season and you’re out of one of the main course on the menu that is somewhat light on main options as it is. Disappointed we ordered the striploin, mains arrive and no other way to put it but just unacceptable. The $50 7oz Striploin came on a rather large plate half full empty. It was presented on top of red leaf lettuce that was dressed as a salad and some slivers of roasted beats (tasty). Salad as a garnish (no other way to put it), on a $50 entree just lack creativity and thought, not what we were expecting.

Over all it’s a difficult to write this review because Terrafina has been our go to in this area, maybe that’s what makes even more disappointing. Have had some great dinners here and today was not one of them. The wine as usual did not disappoint, bottle of the Garland was delicious.

We had a great time dining here, highly recommend the ceasar salad and linguine dish!

The meatballs and seafood stew were both a bit underwhelming for my taste though.

Went for lunch July 2025. Good views. Great atmosphere. Excellent service. Decent wine, although truly we only ever have pinot blanc or pinot grigio. But for $29 on my pulled pork pizza I expected more meat. My lunch was decidedly lacking in protein. The pizza dough is worth eating - every crust, but I was quite disappointed in the missing flavors. I ordered what I'd hoped would be an open faced sandwich, and that was certainly not it. Fewer carbs please - more protein.

We had an absolutely incredible dinner on the patio to celebrate my brother-in-law’s birthday. We started with the focaccia and the lemon herb butter (thyme and parsley).
My sister-in-law had the
fettuccine with braised beef, tomato sauce, heirloom carrots, fried egg and crispy potato. The birthday boy enjoyed the fish of the day with local potato, blistered tomato, pancetta braised, scallion, and smoked tomato broth with crispy breadcrumbs and green oil.
My partner and I split the Potato Truffle Pizza with thinly sliced potato, garlic oil, mozzarella, parmesan, chili flakes,
truffle aioli, arugula and the spring pea risotto. We had asked for the chilli flakes to be served on the side, but the kitchen neglected to do so. Fortunately, my partner who is not crazy about spicy, did not mind them. The pizza was much larger than we expected and oozing flavour and texture. The risotto was creamy and somewhat bland next to the pizza, but the ribbons of zucchini and carrot were an elegant presentation.
Dessert was a chocolate crème brûlée, and the orange almond cake, both of which were delightful.
With three glasses of wine, the total came to about $230 Canadian, which, for the quality of the food and service, I found quite reasonable for a special meal
Staff make sure that water glasses are refilled promptly, and everything was perfect. Bathrooms pristine.

We had the burrata, beet salad and truffle pizza. Drinks were good. Food ingredients tasted fresh and had quality but this wasn’t my favorite place to eat. Great service! Beautiful setting

Had an outstanding lunch at Terrafina. Excellent wine selection, delicious food (all items we ordered) and a lovely terrace/patio outside. The service was professional and attentive as well. Highly recommended!

I went there for a late lunch after my wine tasting and I must say the view on the patio is quite lovely. The food was good and service too. I might have chosen poorly, but I was not impressed by my panini. However, the soup was delicious. I think it might be a great place to have dinner, and if you don't mind paying 50$ for a lunch!

A delightful dining experience from start to finish! The ambiance? Clean and cozy—just the right balance of warmth and elegance. Our server, Adrian, was nothing short of perfection—smiling, knowledgeable, and impressively efficient, possibly a hospitality ninja in disguise.

The food? A masterpiece. The burrata, dressed up in a fresh vegetable and salmon salad, was a symphony of flavors. The gnocchi? So pillowy and delicious, they deserve their own fan club. The meatballs? Legendary. And to top it all off, a tiramisu so perfect it could bring tears to a dessert lover’s eyes.

Pair it all with the exceptional Hester Creek Wines, with Syrah likely stealing the show. Adrian, thank you for making this experience truly memorable—we’ll be back!
