Manager came by to ask how everything was and quickly fixed it. Made her noodles in butter and she loved it! Fantastic service! They were apologetic about the burger and came back a few times to make sure we were good. Great job Lower Sackville Boston Pizza!!!“

“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.“

“It was a wonderful meal and Emily’s service was great. We arrived on the tail end of a busy evening but it didn’t impact us at all. We appreciated being seated on the patio( and the blankets when it cooled down). The mussels, halibut, salmon and birthday zucatto were exceptional. Thanks!“

“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.“

“Finally had the chance to try Maria’s. Fresh pasta (Mafaldini) had never seen this shape before, 1/4”wide or so, looked like a lasagna noodle),Rosa Sauce and the best Lemoncello cake ever! Made chicken parm with the sauce and noodles and it was excellent. I can see this being a regular stop for take home ingredients. Also want to try the Porchetta sandwich so next Friday it’s marked on the calendar!“

“Absolutely amazing Italian food, a beautiful restaurant and delightful service!! I couldn't recommend it more highly!“

“Enjoyed our first (but certainly not our last) dining experience at Ragazzi. It was amazing from start to finish. From the lovely greeting at the door, to our knowledgeable and entertaining server Lucas, it was an evening to remember. Our meals were a gourmet delight and were nothing short of perfection. From the flaming shrimp and scallops, to the insanely delicious halibut, veal parmigiana and lasagna, we have no words. Lucas was attentive to all our needs and he can whip up a wicked martini! We wholeheartedly endorse everything about Ragazzi and will be back soon. Thank you for an exceptional evening Ragazzi!!“

“A very friendly and cozy spot for a family dinner. We had amazing service from our server Morgan and the food was so good, our favorites were the Mozzarella sticks (best cheese pull ever) and the pizzas were amazing! It’s the best crust I’ve had in a while. The pesto gnocchi was crazy good!! We loved it! Thank you for an incredible dinner, we had so much fun.“

“Great service and delicious Pizza. My friend and I was desperately hungry whilst having at art show at NSCAD and this pizza shop is truly authentic. I love the soft pizza and the real Mozzarella thats melted over the pizza. Shawn was super kind. I highly recommend this place and I'll definitely be back!“

“"When my family and I first moved to Nova Scotia, one of the first places we visited was Trattoria Vesso. Since then, we've tried many other restaurants in town, but Vesso remains our favorite. It's hands-down the best authentic pizza restaurant in the area. Every time we go, the experience is incredible. The pasta is just as amazing as the pizza—everything is so fresh, homemade, and made from scratch. You can really taste the quality and care in every dish. There are never any leftovers—we clean our plates every time! It’s become our go-to spot for a cozy, delicious meal that reminds us of home."“

“Terry’s Calamari is THE BEST because he has the best idea to cover it in an amazing tomato sauce and olives that elevates it to a whole new level. 3 of us shared it, gone in minutes.

For mains we had Spaghetti Bolognese and Tagliatelle Cacio e Pepe. Perfect portion, thoughtful details with garnish, and incredible sauce (and those lemon kissed scallops... amazing). Spiced chocolate crème brulee and Tiramisu rounded out the evening. Great evening supper on the patio. Excellent service. What a gem in the city 💎“

“We loved the food! My husband and I went for a quick bite before our movie and we were seated, served and settled up just in time. We ordered half salads and they did not disappoint, our server made a great recommendation. We’ll be back to try some bigger bites.
The decor could be updated to match the quality they’re delivering. It’s definitely a comfortable and cozy space. There was one staff member I could overhear make a complaint to a server about seating choices, we chose the only window seating over the back.“

“We ordered something like 75 large pizzas and 75 large salads, each of several varieties for our event. Salvatore's had excellent communication, the timing was great, they were easy to coordinate with and get ahold of, and most importantly the food was excellent and fresh when it arrived. They even picked up the big salad bowls from our venue the next day -- thank you! Really appreciate the great experience and highly recommend!“

“I don't order from Chanoey's as much as I should! Food Quality is amazing, the service in-house is bar-none! And when I do have it delivered, it's still hot and well presented. Their Spaghetti is amazing!!“

“Exceptionally intimate, romantic, & quaint with world class service. Wish it was open for lunch so I could go more often. Beauty place to have overlooking the lake between the City & the airport.“

“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!“

“Dave Doolittle’s Tap Room & Grill delivers exactly what you hope for in a neighborhood spot—good food, great drink selection, and a relaxed, welcoming vibe. The menu has something for everyone, from hearty pub classics to some surprisingly fresh and creative options. The wings and burgers are standouts, and the local beer selection is always rotating with great picks.

Service is usually friendly and attentive, though it can get a bit slow when the place is busy—which is often, for good reason. The atmosphere is casual and lively, perfect for catching a game or winding down with friends.

One star off just for the occasional wait times, but overall, this is a solid go-to spot. Definitely worth checking out if you’re in the area.“

“The pizza was absolutely delicious with a perfect blend of flavors, fresh ingredients, and a crispy crust. The staff provided excellent customer service, making the experience even better. Highly recommend this spot if you're craving a great pizza in Halifax.“

“This location is under newer ownership and the quality of food and customer service has improved exponentially. Fresh with lots of toppings, the crust was tasty and not as greasy as Pizza Hut tends to be. I had made a mistake when ordering online for pickup, so I called and they fixed it for me at no extra cost and were really friendly when I picked it up.“
