Went here for dinner at an early hour. There is only 1 server not enough if the place is busy. Rolls came out way before the salad so they were no longer nice and warm when the salad came. Salad had lots of romaine hard white pieces in it. We pulled them all out as they are nasty. I had bolognese sauce which had lots of meat but was not at all sweet. My husband had sausage and meatballs with his pasta and it was quite good. Server did not refill drinks or even offer to do so. When we went to pay the check, they did not have enough money in the register to make change for a $32 check paid with a 50 dollar bill! The sever had to get money from the cook in order to make the change. WHAT? Then he handed my husband the change in the check folder instead of just giving him the change which was mostly ones and a couple of 5’s Not sure if we will go back again as service left a lot to be desired. One thing that did stand out was the amount of typos on the menu! It was quite funny to see all of them! Honey mustar dressing and others were rather amusing and there were many! It is obvious that nobody did any proof reading before the menus were printed!

Went a few weeks ago on a Thursday night. The website said no reservations accepted. Walked in and they asked if we had a reservation? Go figure. They sat us right by the main door next to a large round table that just had people sit at the same time. There was a light above the table that felt like a spotlight on the table. The waiter brought both tables the menus and then we sat for 15 minutes before he came back. No bread or drinks were offered. He asked if we were ready to order? We told him we wanted drinks first. That took another 5 mins and was canned soda poured in a glass. The young man seemed to be the only waiter we could see. There was another lady drying glasses behind the counter. First of all every time someone walked in the door we were freezing from the cold air. The food was decent but the red sauce was on the sour side. Portions were generous and the other 3 guests enjoyed their food. The slow service and the location of the table were big negatives in our view. We were exchanging comments with the large table throughout the night and they were just as disappointed in the slow service. Another issue we had was the lack of condiments on the tables. We had a pepper shaker with no salt. I had to walk to a few tables and round up salt for the table because once the meal was served we never saw the waiter until we were finished. Not sure if he was a new employee or just over extended? Probably won't be back again.

The Stromboli was huge and so good. Service was attentive and polite. We really enjoyed the meal and would eat here again

Delivery driver was lost and couldn't find our house. After standing outside for 20 minutes waiting for the driver I was told I had to pick it up. To top it off the pizza was cold by the time I got it and the pizza itself is probably the worst pizza in the area. You can get a better pizza at dominos.

Ate lunch at Amaya's yesterday with a friend. It was a fantastic experience. The owner/chef immediately greeted and seated us. Warm and DELCIOUS rolls were brought to the table. We ordered the cannelloni and eggplant rollatini. The meals included a very fresh garden salad. The portions were generous and the two sauces were fabulous. We were re-supplied with additional rolls without asking. The chef explained that he is inspired by his grandmother's recipes but makes them his own too. The chef was very warm, friendly and accommodating. The restaurant is named after his 6-month-old daughter. The menu is extensive including pizza, salads, sandwiches, pasta, meats and seafood. I highly recommend Amaya's. The prices are reasonable. We'll be back!!

They let us sit there an hour and then came and told us their oven was broken…ridiculous!

This is one of the best places. The food is delicious. The owner is a super nice person and the cooks know what they do in the kitchen. The servers are very nice.

Since moving to Hamilton this has to be the worst place I have gone to eat. First, we waited over an hour for a wrong salad, a slice of pizza and garlic knots. We only received them after we complained. The pizza was like 3 days old reheated pizza and garlic knots that had no taste what so ever. We asked for chicken Parmesan with vodka sauce and they brought regular chicken parm. When asked about the vodka sauce his response was I wrote the vodka sauce on the slip. Then when we go to eat the chicken we couldn’t even break it apart. When we did there was barely any chicken at all. It was mostly breadcrumbs (you get more chicken at wawas). We told the waiter this and they just took it away. No apology no resolution nothing. When asked for the check, he came and plopped it on the table with out saying anything at all. Very bad service and horrible food. Def will never go back there again. And I suggest everyone save their money by finding a better place to go.

What a wonderful place!! The pizza was delicious, and when I pre-ordered pizza for a birthday party, they were SO kind and helpful and even threw in a free pizza, which was amazing since it was for a pack of 12-year-old boys who demolished all 5 pizzas! AND to top it all off, they offered me paper plates to take for the boys. Anytime I’m back in the area they will absolutely get my business. They made our life a lot easier and the pizza was great. Thank you guys!!

DO NOT GO HERE. One of the worst restaurant experiences I’ve ever had. The bread was undercooked. We ordered the artichoke dip and it came out like a soup. The waiter has no understanding of the menu and brought two of the wrong ordered dishes to the table 45 minutes after we ordered. Instead of Cannelloni he brought a desert Cannoli. And totally forgot to put in one of the orders. Every pasta we ordered was mostly cheese with little pasta. I wanted to like this new restaurant but the experience was awful. Do not come here.
