Mapatura was just okay Italian restaurant.

The super cosy space was very busy when I popped by. They were able to fit me in as a table of one, and I am so glad. The food was scrumptious, really really. And the staff were warm and wonderful.

I can’t believe I haven’t heard about this place sooner. I absolutely love Mappatura. The service, atmosphere, and food are all top notch. This is easily the best Italian I’ve had in the city, and even if it wasn't, the staff are so lovely I’d be happy to return any time.

We had the perfectly crusty on the outside soft on the inside bread (which is from LF bakery), the perfect Caesar salad, the wildly delicious calamari (must try), and the equally delicious tagliatelle and carbonara for our mains. Also finished with the lemon tart, which has for me the perfect little crust that’s just enough.

It’s hard to find a place like Mappatura which has such a great reputation that can both meet and exceed the expectations. I’ve found a new favourite and can’t wait to come back and continue exploring the menu. Extra shout out to the sincerely lovely staff there - it was such a genuinely warm, and welcoming atmosphere.

Kudos on the exceptionally friendly and attentive service - it’s so rare these days and so greatly appreciated on a night out. We’ll be back soon.

Cozy and bright little space. Went there as the sun was setting. Gorgeous natural light and they light candles as it darkens. The staff were very courteous and attentive. Best calamari I've ever had. The mocktails are delicious as well. Highly recommend.

Food was okay, not worth the price though. Pasta (ravioli) had way too much garlic and spices on top which is too bad because the ravioli was flavourful on its own. White wine was warm, not chilled. Service was fine, not overly warm or welcoming atmosphere despite cozy space.

Tried this place 3 times as it is just so cute...but I always find the food meh. Went last night, it was cold inside, second course came too fast (not done first), risotto balls and Cesar salad were bland, and very expensive glasses of wine were no good. Partner loved the salmon special, $39. Total (Tax free and before tip) $161 Sorry, not coming back and I cannot recommend.

Haven't had a bad experience yet. Great staff, ambiance, food and drink. They have some of the best I've had so far. The staff is always upbeat and keep you in smiles throughout your meal. It's honestly an enjoyable experience. The pasta is made fresh in house and they have gluten free options. The fish is always amazing. The spicy calamari is to die for, every pasta dish I've had has been incredible. One of my top 5 restaurants in Halifax, hands down.

Staff squeezed us in without a reservation. Service was friendly and attentive. Food was delicious. Would like more veggies with the steak and fries.

Dined in for my birthday and it was amazing all around! The food was absolutely to die for (specifically the calamari and the tagliatelle--omg). It tasted so fresh and flavourful. The service was equally as good. The staff are very professional, attentive, and thought of everything. The restaurant itself is very quaint and intimate which makes for a perfect vibe. I have lived in Halifax for years and enjoy dining out and this was the best restaurant I have been to in recent memory. Definitely a hidden gem. I will be back!

Best pasta I’ve had in HRM hands down! My husband and I felt like we were back in Italy. Everything was perfection - the ambiance, the servers, the dessert *chefs kiss*. Highly recommend!
