18 Best Italian Restaurants in Halifax

“I would gladly fight a larger-than-average house cat if it came between me and the seared scallops. Five stars for the citrus and butter sauce alone.“

“We had excellent service on Canada Day 2024 with our friendly waitress Pal. She was very helpful and kept checking on our party of 12 ages from 3 to 80, to make sure everyone had what they wanted. She put treats on the Robot and had the children go get their treats off the tray on it, which was a highlight for them. We could tell she enjoys waitressing because she does it to perfection. The food was delicious and plated appetizingly, too!“

“The food at this restaurant was absolutley delicious. The server we had was gregarious, friendly, polite and knew excatly when to come by and when to leave us alone. The only set back was the crowed nature of the restaurant. The popularity of the place ment that you had to skilled at reading lips in order to communicate with your table mates.“

“My husband and I went to Sapori a couple of weekends ago and had the absolute best time ever. We thoroughly enjoyed every bite of food, and the drinks but this review is about the service. Top notch, can’t be beat. We were treated to a couple of little extras hand delivered by the chef himself. He went out of his way to make sure we were having a great time and enjoying everything. The waitress was also incredible. We felt so spoiled, and we want to let all of our friends know how delicious the authentic Italian food was. We started with the Antipasto Italiano which was incredible, and followed in perfect time with Aranici which was crispy and tasty. For our man course we had Chicken Parmigiana & Fettucceine Lemoine both devine and delicious! Somehow we managed to fit in Tiramisu for dessert which was fantastic! We really enjoyed the Limoncello as well. Incredible food and amazing service. Thank you for a wonderful night. Looking forward to the next!“

“My friend's and I recently had lunch at La Piazza. The food was absolutely delicious, the service exemplary and the atmosphere is very cozy. The cheesecake is delicious but a tad over priced, as were all the deserts, in my opinion. All in all, a very nice experience and we will definitely be going back for our monthly Ladies Lunch.“

“Fantastic: Food, Service, Ambience.....“

“My wife and I had dinner here this past Saturday. Our first but not last visit to Ragazzi. The service and atmosphere was wonderful and our meals were absolutely delicious. We can't wait to go back.“

“I Love Mappatura. I’ve been dining here for years and I’m always telling people they need to as well. The calamari is amazing, as is the Lemon Tart. I tried the Chicken Piccata for the first time the last visit and I have to say, it’s probably the best chicken I’ve ever tasted. I literally couldn’t shut up about it for an hour afterwards. Great wine selection and wonderful owners and staff make any visit to Mappatura an absolute pleasure. ♥“

“Your pizza makes me happy to be alive

Edit: Phenomenal meatball hero subs! I asked for no olives, sub hot peppers. It was amazing! I only ate half but it was awesome reheated in the oven for a few minutes wrapped in tinfoil foil. Love the Caesar salad and Italian fries as well. Always so consistent! 10/10“

“Went to Tomavinos after a full day of work and really hungry. Best choice. The pizzas were awesome and the restaurant was very cute and inviting. I would recommend it to all pizza lovers.“

“Special thanks to Kelly for great service , also to Kate for remembering our favourite wine and ensuring it was on hand . Thanks also to Rob and your staff to making our evening so very enjoyable. Sorry to have missed Tanya , were looking to seeing her as well . Our only suggestion would be that the eating area was a bit dark , especially for older guests. Thank you , Gary and Marilyn.“

“Food was great, always been my favourite takeout pizza spot in the town! Went in for dine in and quite disappointed w their service. Takes a while for them to acknowledge you to be seated. Made me wonder if they mistook me for delivery person instead of customer lol.“

“Had a delicious meal tonight at the Larry Uteck location with my family. Portions were very large and great taste. But what made our night is the incredible server we had who was both witty, charming, funny while also very professional. He made my parents and grandmother all smile and laugh which was really appreciated. It is excellent service and quality staff which make a resteraunt not just the food and clearly Morris East knows this.“

“Just got into Halifax late and needed something to eat. Picked Peter’s Pizza randomly and had it delivered. The result: Outstanding pizza. Because it was Halifax I ordered a Donair Pizza and it was fantastic. Great crust, cheese, donair meat, and best of all, they put plenty of donair sauce on the side so I could use as much as I want. Thanks for a great pizza experience!“

“Stopped by for a weeknight dinner around 7 and Rinaldo's was as good as ever, even on a Tuesday. The lamb ragu is still the move, rich and slow-cooked, and they didn't skimp on portion size like some places do midweek. Our server remembered we'd been in a few weeks back and steered us toward a nice Chianti that paired perfectly. It's a small dining room so it fills up fast even on weeknights, but we've never had to wait more than ten minutes for a table.“

“Just had Pizza Hut and honestly it hit the spot. The pizza was super fresh, cheesy, and loaded with toppings. The breadsticks were soft and crazy good, like I could’ve eaten a whole box by myself.

The staff was cool and got everything out fast. Place was clean, too, which is always a plus.

Overall, solid experience. If you’re craving pizza, Pizza Hut’s definitely a good move. 🍕😄“

“Had an amazing experience at Pizza Hut Lacewood! 🍕 The pizza was absolutely delicious, and the service was excellent. I ordered over the phone and was treated with great kindness and respect. They also gave me a fantastic deal.

Really appreciate the great food and wonderful customer service. I highly recommend everyone to try Pizza Hut Lacewood at least once! ❤🍕“

“I really like LC but my partner doesn’t like them as much. Every time I convince him to order they must up! We ordered the other night and the dough/crust was thin and dry and a 1/4 of the pizza didn’t have toppings and his pep pizza wasn’t even cut?! GRRR Not sure even I can be convinced to go back now 😓“
