Honestly ignore any reviews under 5 stars. This place is the best fine dining place in the city. I've been to a few "fine dining" places in the city and most just pander to tourists, or are just slightly fancy pubs. This place is genuinely good. If you want to take your partner on a "knock your socks off" date, this is the spot.The place feels very high class. The atmosphere is so relaxed and romantic. The food is always immaculate as well. (I highly recommend the mussels as an appetizer) and the staff are very friendly and do their job perfectly every time. They're also very willing to accommodate dietary restrictions, in my experience. (I can't have alcohol in my food)It's right by the waterfront too. Go for a stroll on the waterfront before your reservation and it'll make for the perfect date.Dietary restrictions: I can't have alcohol (even food cooked with alcohol) and every time I've gone, they always been more than willing to accommodate and make my dish without it!Kid-friendliness: Please don't bring your kids here. The atmosphere is very relaxed and romantic. If you bring your kids here, other customers will be upset with you for ruining the vibe. (Including me)

Not fine dining at all. Unless you consider fine dining mediocre food, obnoxious servers and overly aggressive staff that clear your table. We went for our 13th wedding anniversary. We were seated right by the entrance even though we were the first ones there and had reservations for quite sometime.The phone rang constantly which doesn’t exactly scream romantic dining experience. Then 3 very loud woman were seated right behind us even though the restaurant is large and had plenty of other options to choose from.Every time the servers went to the table behind us they would either bump into my chair or place their hand on the back of my chair. The whole experience felt like a bizarre joke where a restaurant claims they are “fine dining” but in reality they are there to make your life miserable.We had shrimp for an appetizer which came out fairly quickly so at least we were impressed by that but it was okay nothing special.Then we each had salads that looked and tasted liked something you would get at a cafeteria very wet/greasy.The only good part of our meal was the main dish and even then it wasn’t anything wow inspiring or special. We also waited over an hour for it to arrive to our table even though once again we were the first ones there and ordered within 5 minutes of being seated.0/10 would not recommend

We went on a Saturday evening and were greeted warmly at the front door and things only got better from there! We were offered a cozy table for two and got our drinks immediately. The appetizers were very tasty - I got the radicchio salad and can't stop thinking about it, it was incredible! My husband ordered Tagliatelle & roasted chicken and I had House-made chicken & ricotta ravioli. They were both delicious; very fresh and flavourful. The service was at a perfect pace and we were impressed by how friendly the staff are. The atmosphere was lively but not too loud and I definitely left happier than when I arrived! We can't wait to go back. Highly recommend.Parking: Parking lot right across the street

Fantastic dinner at da Maurizio! Went on a Saturday evening, the atmosphere was lively without being loud, the service was top-notch and our meal and drinks were delicious! Without question my favourite dining experience in the last year. I can't wait to go back!

No meal had more than 2 colours. Not much had any flavour. Service was slower than molasses on a cold day. Couldn't even figure out who our server was as there was a randomness of like over 5 servers who came to our table.
Silverware was dirty. Service was slow. Biggest issue was I forgot my cell phone on the table. And the staff didn't seem much interested in helping us recover the phone. Whoever cleaned off the table would have found it. Now the restaurant is closed for 3 days and I'm stuck without my phone for business. This is infuriating the lack of help we received for this matter!!

From the moment we walked in we were happily greeted by Tanya the owner, who kindly seated us. We had Kelly as our fantastic server and he knew the menu inside out, and lots of new additions, great cocktails and fabulous wine choice. Highly recommend. We will be back soon.

Staff are lovely very attentive and friendly .Nice space between tables but not as cozy as I thought it would be .Food was very good but I found pricey as compared to other nice italien restaurants with similiar menus . Ok for NYE but price point is important during these times . Glad to have tried it .

Having eaten here many times, I felt the quality of the food and service poorly lacking. 2 of the 4 entrees were dry, over cooked, or sat under the heat lamps way too long. All but 1 (of 4) of our salads were swimming in dressing. We were left with dirty plates far too long between courses for a fine dining restaurant. Overall our meal took over 3 hrs and it wasn't busy. And speaking of fine dining, who serves butter (instead of EVOO ) with the bread at a fine dining Italian restaurant? All for the lovely low price of $450. The retired owners namesake restaurant would be sorely disappointed. I won't be going back.

Food was good, not as many options for gluten AND dairy free so I would like to see more menu options that can be modified. They did make me a custom pasta that was gluten and dairy free which was good so I did appreciate that!!
