“East Side Mario’s offers a great casual dining experience with a wide range of Italian dishes. The pasta is always fresh and flavorful, and the portions are generous. The friendly service and lively atmosphere make it a perfect spot for family meals or casual gatherings.“

“If you’re looking for a little slice of Italy in Hamilton, let me save you the trouble , The Express Italian Eatery is it. From the moment you step inside, you feel like you’ve been welcomed into a family kitchen rather than a restaurant. The atmosphere is warm, the staff are genuinely passionate, and then… the food arrives, and you realize you’ve struck gold.

The Calzone alone deserves its own standing ovation. Golden, perfectly baked, with that irresistible balance of crisp outside and soft, cheesy goodness inside, it’s the kind of dish that makes you close your eyes for a moment just to take it all in. The pasta? Forget what you think you know about pasta. Every bite is fresh, rich, and bursting with the kind of authentic flavor that can only come from a kitchen that knows and loves real Italian cooking.

Every single plate that comes out feels like a love letter to Italy. Whether you’re diving into the pasta, tearing into that calzone, or sampling one of their other creations, there’s this unmistakable feeling that you’re tasting something made with heart, tradition, and a touch of Italy ! Thank you everyone and especially to Natasha for her incredible service and making us feel like part of the family.“

“Found this fantastic Italian spot right in the heart of Hamilton and I'm so glad I did! The food is outstanding and both the pizzas and pastas are clearly made with care. The star of the show has to be the pizza: the base is absolutely perfect, and the homemade sauce is truly amazing. It’s the kind of meal that makes you plan your next trip before you’ve even left.“

“friendly..quick..price....options....dips and dressings are just too good.“

“5 stars for our experiences. Fantastic menu i w tried4 different entrees now and they all been excellent. The servers are experienced with the menu and wine offerings. They are also excellent. Made our dinners very special“

“We joined friends for a lovely meal yesterday. Of course there were a variety of dishes from which to choose; but with all the reviews and reccomendations it made our choices difficult. We ended up ordering the meatballs with garlic bread, a definite hit!, the Pizza Fuks, the Flat Iron steak with rapini, Oysters, Seafood Risotto and mushroom Gnocchi. All were excellent. We first tried Born & Raised when they opened; we found the wait staff then very arrogent , which soured our experience. So we tried again, after hearing good things from friends and family; so 10 years later tried again. Boy are we glad we did! Wait staff were very friendly, easy to talk to and as a celiac, my only disappointment was I was told I could not have the gnocchi. Our drinks were prepared well and the food again, was outstanding! We definitely will return, thank you to all in the restaurant that made our night out so great. Major kudos to the chef and kitchen!“

“Excellent food. Cozy environment with friendly and attentive staff.“

“Just had an inspiring experience at CIMA. The four of us were treated to incredible food, a relaxing atmosphere and spectacular service by our server Erica. Can’t wait to go back!“

“Its absolutely incredible! Will definitely be back soon….“

“Excellent quality food and fabulous service. Thanks to Zechariah for taking such good care of us! Everything was outstanding“

“The food was delicious and the portions were amazing. Such great quality. We will definitely order again!“

“Best pizza, crust is light and delicious! Sauce is also very good. My husband had the spaghetti and meatballs, definitely worth a return visit. Don’t let the outside deter you as the building has seen better days. The food is the focus in a clean and pleasant dining room even though it hasn’t been updated for awhile. White table cloth is an appreciated!“

“Not only was the food absolutely amazing, but the service was phenomenal! Our server not only handled the lounge and the dining room BY HERSELF, but was also efficient and friendly! The only downside was overhearing overhearing group of ignorant people complaining unnecessarily. If you have to wait for your food here, trust me, it's more than worth it . Best Italian meal I've had in over a decade.“

“Great place to eat in the heart of the City... Highly recommended“

“First time going here. The food was honestly really good, our server was very kind and efficient. The only downfall is the parking.“

“We went to Peruviano for the first time tonight and we will definitely return. Both the service and the food was fantastic! We had the beef hearts and octopus for appetizers. For mains, my husband had the Aji De Gallina and I had Sudado de Pescado. I didn’t want any rice and was given the option of asparagus instead. The fish and asparagus were both cooked to perfection. My husband loved the chicken and enjoyed the fried cassava so much he asked for an order to take home. Portion sizes are generous. Looking forward to returning!“

“Wery good food, must go and try“

“1st time there since 2019. Our server (Kaylie?) was attentive, sweet and friendly. The white wine sangria was to die for!!! I'll be back.“

“We just stopped by for a quick lunch (Tuesday 19th around 1:30) on our way home, and i gotta say, one of the best pizza slices I’ve ever gotten. So fresh and hot. There was a lady working and she was incredibly sweet and nice to not only us but to everyone who walked in inbetween us being there. sat down and ate, super clean dinning area & bathrooms as well. Definitely will come back to this location next time we have our pizza pizza craving 🍕“

“I have to go with what my 6-year-old granddaughter said. She said it was the best pizza she'd ever had. And she wish she knew how to make it. We had a a pizza with mushroom, pepperoni and bacon, very thin crust which is what I love and it was really good. Delivery was awesome. They said it would take 20 to 30 minutes. It actually came sooner than that. An update when The driver was nearing my house and he was very friendly. Very nice. Everything went smooth. No problems at all. I will certainly go back to Domino's pizza and order again. This was Saturday, November 2nd.“

“I decided on the chicken Parmesan pasta and the margarita pizza, and both dishes were absolutely delicious! The chicken was tender and flavorful, making each bite a delight. As for the margarita pizza, it was easily one of the best I've had. The crust was thin and crispy, with just the right amount of cheese. The fresh tomatoes, basil, and mozzarella were perfect.“

“Pizza was delicious, delivery was quick and pizza was hot.“

We’ve been coming here for a while now, and the service has always been great. They’re super quick, always happy to customize my order, and everything comes out just right. The owner? Chillest guy ever — I’d grab a slice and life advice from him. It’s just one of those places that feels comfortable and familiar.
Thank you for all of my visits!!“

She may have had a mask on but I could hear the smile behind it.If you have a blonde server behind the counter at this location know she is very professional and ensures your order goes out right! 5 stars off the visit alone. Food was amazing as well.“

“Popped in here on a busy (least the kitchen was) night, craved some pizza. Can’t eat as much as I used to, due to health issues. On 11/16/2024 about 7:30 P.M. they have a huge dining area, but no service? You have to order take-out, and have option to eat there or take home. People we’re picking up their pizza, many people working in the kitchen frantically. I just ordered a Personal Size pizza (about 6-7 inches in circumference). Ordered pepperoni & mushrooms on it, took about 15-20 minutes for it to be done. Took it to my car, wife doesn’t like pizza, so she went to Wendy’s next door. We ate our food in the car, my little pizza was delicious, crust was nice, cooked just right. The sauce, was a little sweet like (but good), the pepperonis were curled up and cooked well, with a bit of spice to them. There was plenty of fresh mushrooms distributed on the pie, with enough mozzarella cheese to compliment the pizza. I had no complaints, polite service and finished product was satisfied by myself. Can’t understand some of the negative reviews, but on this occasion, I enjoyed the pizza I purchased at this Pizza Hut location. They had many other deals on too, for the larger eaters. Many people, were coming in placing their orders for takeout and phones were ringing (probably for delivery) Thank-You, satisfied customer on this evening.

Parking: Situated in huge parking lot, off of busy Upper James Street. In the Plaza where the Salavation Army Thrift store is located.“

“Amazing Service by Raj!

I had a great experience at Pizza Pizza, all thanks to Raj! He was super friendly, quick with the service, and made sure my order was perfect. You can tell he genuinely cares about the customers. The pizza was fresh and hot, and Raj even checked if everything was okay before I left. It’s not every day you get service like that. Keep up the great work, Raj!“

“amazing service and amazing pizzas! the wood fire baking adds a unique traditional taste with quality ingredients!“
