Delicious Italian in a casual atmosphere with friendly staff. If you are looking for a great meal, this is the place! Communal or private table options available. Ensure you have reservations as they can be hard to get.
Please don’t come here if you like amazing dishes, unique cocktails and a cozy atmosphere! I want to be able to keep coming back and finding tables. Honestly though, this is the best hidden gem restaurant in the city! Love the people that work there.

We went to Mappatura for dinner last night for the first time. Safe to say this is our new favorite place in Halifax!! The staff were so friendly, knowledgable, and gave great service to the point that no drink was ever empty or need unmet, but you never felt like they were hovering or overbearing. The food from appetizers to dessert was delicious and the space was cozy and intimate - perfect for either a mid week date night or weekend celebration. We really enjoyed our experience.
Delicious food, wonderful table service. Beautiful and cozy atmosphere. Fantastic date night get away...thank you!

When my girlfriend and I arrived we were immediately greeted and seated within a minute. Our server Salome was kind, attentive, and made the whole experience absolutely wonderful. The menu may look daunting if you do not eat Italian food often, but Salome graciously assisted me with the names of the dishes, without making me feel out of place. The food is incredible and Salome kept our wine glasses full all night. This is a place everyone in Halifax has to try if they’re looking for a lively, fun, delicious evening.

Everything was top notch, they made a birthday dinner extra special. Service was attentive, the food was tasty and fresh, and the atmosphere is classy but fun. 100% will be back.

I went here with my sister and our uncles, D & G, for a reunion after many years back in August 2023. The atmosphere was fantastic and the service was incredible.The waitress we had was very attentive and friendly. My sister was with us and she has a few allergies and I think that this was the most well informed experience I’ve ever seen her have. As the shared dishes came out, they made sure to tell her what possible allergens were in them and they really knew the menu and ingredients, it put our minds at ease.The food was wonderful as well as the cocktails. It was truly a fantastic evening and I can see why my uncles love your restaurant so much. Thank you all for such a great experience and evening and for being part of what was a really special evening for our family.I can’t say enough about how great the entire experience was from the food, drinks, service, all of it. Thank you!!!! Dietary restrictions: The staff are very well informed of the ingredients in the menu and what the potential allergens are. I truly think that this was the most attentive allergy experience I’ve ever seen my sister have. They continued to be well informed and to keep us all well informed on what shared dishes may contain which allergens.Wheelchair accessibility: This restaurant is located on the ground level and the washrooms are as well.

Simply the best in Halifax. They also now have some nice natural wines and orange wines on the menu. The Caesar salad was fresh acidic and crunchy. We got bacon on the side so vegetarian could share. Oysters were fresh briny plump and firm. Great mignonette. Puttanesca and Aglio e Olio were incredible. Can't recommend enough.

Wow. What an incredible experience. Everything was 10/10. Atmosphere is perfect. Service was amazing. Our server was professional and so knowledgeable on both the food & wine menu, all while exuding warmth and hospitality. My group all got different mains and we found ourselves sharing (something we never do lol) because we just had to try them all.This is one of the best dining experiences I've had in Halifax, can't wait to go back!

A very well executed Italian restaurant with great food and service. There are classic Italian dishes along with some house Italian plates. Amazing calamari, gnocchi, pappardelle... Great mussels, ragout, carbonara, tiramisu... All so

I have now dined at Mappatura twice and just wow! The service was outstanding both times and the food was sooo good! Lovely Italian wine selection as well. Although the kitchen might be unsafe for celiacs due to the flour in the air, they have taken every other precaution to ensure my meals were prepared gluten free and I didn't get sick either time. Cannot wait to go back!
