Shockingly poor quality for the prices.$6 additional charge for half of a rubbery poorly seasoned chicken breast.Also, the $17 fettucine alfredo was watery as heck, the sauce was pooling at the bottom, it was very gross. I had to add my own ingredients to make it worth eating.When the food fails to match the quality reflecting its price, its unacceptable

A family member has recommended Piazza Italian Eatery. Mercato to us a bunch of times and last night we gave them a try, ordering the Family Special for 4 hungry adults. The entire experience was delightful. I really wanted to get a picture of the food but my hungry family just wanted to dive-in so I missed my chance. Their huge Caesar Salad had real bacon and parm shavings, and a homemade style delicious dressing. The pasta could have served 8 (I’m looking forward to leftovers!) and we had the chicken parmigiano, and it was only 2/3 eaten because the portions are so generous. Garlic bread as well was very tasty. Everyone raved about the quality and taste of all the food. We will go back often. This kind of family restaurant is so valuable in our town and deserves all the praise they get. Check them out… you won’t be disappointed.

First I have found Italian food dull. I went to many cities south and north of Rome and was not lucky in Firenze, Venezia, Toscana and Roma proper. I first had Piazza's food at an event in midtown Toronto. it was so authentic, starting with the appetizer assorted meat and cheese(s) plate with homemade fennel crackers, focaccia, beautiful vegetables so freshly prepared, including mounds of dressed arugula cherry tomatoes and walnuts. Their pizzas and pastas are made to order homemade with nonGMO flour. The flavour combinations and ingredients are not the same common place blandness had from places on St Clair or Yorkville. The taste of everything from the eggplant parmigiana , lasagnas, to the main fish and chicken dishes are deep and rich in flavour. The food is fair priced and addictive. Go!!

Ordered through uber eats last night. Prices are high. Food was pretty good. The kids didnt like the Gnocchi but I thought the one with Sausage was great. Garlic bread with cheese was amazing. Pizza good too, chicken Caesar also very good.

Ordered the family special twice now and it's a great meal at a great value. Caesar is full of pancetta and real cheese ?

We ordered four pizzas for dinner this week and they were equally delicious! Would highly recommend for anyone in the area.My only concern: my partner did not receive a receipt and I am unsure if the advertised special was honored upon payment and pickup.Vegetarian options: Delicious pizza options for vegetarians.

Without a doubt the best veal sandwich in Aurora. Consistency is critical with food services. Just came back from a second try and it was as good if not better than the first. Not a food critic but Aurora needed this and in my opinion better than California
Family pack is the best deal in town 4 chicken Parmesans , salad , pasta and garlic bread all made from scratch . So good everything was a 10/10 . Service was super friendly. Highly

My sister and I ordered dinner two very simple pasta dishes at 5:31 pm, another person came in 5 minutes later placed his order within 15 minutes he was enjoying his dinner. While we waited and waited for our pasta orders to be done. It was exactly 6:09 pm until we were served. Two simple pasta dishes, they should have been ready within 10 minutes not 38 minutes. I wrote to the owner told her I wasn’t happy with the service why did it take so long. I asked for my money back for the two pasta dishes. To date I’ve not heard from the owner.
Definitely not recommend this restaurant. No one should have to put up with that!

Please take a moment to read my whole review as I attempt to paint a picture of how my family fell in love with this restaurant.When Piazza first opened a couple years ago, we tried them three times. As with many new restaurants, they had some growing pains and there were issues with all of our orders so we figured we would wait to see if they lasted and the kinks were worked out.My hubby and I decided to give them a try for lunch and we were pleasantly pleased and surprised. I ordered the Fresco sandwich and my hubby ordered an Italian sausage panino we also ordered a pepperoni pizza to take home.I was blown away by my sandwich! It was the biggest sandwich I have seen in my life. It was made on a beautiful focaccia bread which was light, airy and had flavourful herbs on top. The sandwich was absolutely stuffed with focaccia, basil aioli, baby arugula, fior di latte, artichokes, vine ripe tomatoes, prosciutto, prosciutto cotto, suppressata, basil, lemon parm vinaigrette. This was the best sandwich I have ever had and I could only finish half of it. I brought the rest home to my son who ate it for dinner and he enjoyed it as much as I did.My husband was thoroughly pleased with his sausage panino too. He said the sausage was tasty, juicy, the sauce had delicious flavour and the bun was fresh, not too doughy and was what he remembered from Italian restaurants when he was younger.Lunch went over so well that we decided to go again for dinner a few days later. I had the Pollo Pesto which had rigatoni pasta cooked perfectly al dente with a light but flavorful pesto cream sauce, juicy bit-sized pieces of grilled chicken and topped with parmigiana cheese. My husband had the rigatoni bolognese which he thoroughly enjoyed too. The servings were so large that we were able to take half of each home for our kids. We also ordered a pepperoni pizza to take home.So you may be wondering why I haven’t talked about the pizzas we kept taking home. Well I haven’t mentioned them yet because neither my husband or I had been able to try them. Our kids LOVED the pizza and they ate them both!A few days after our last visit we decided to go for lunch again and try the pizza for ourselves. We each ordered a slice of pizza and 2 enormous slices were brought to our table, thankfully cut in half so we could comfortably eat them. The pizza crust was crispy, thin and light. The sauce was tasty, the used the perfect amount and most importantly…no heartburn! The pepperoni was very flavourful and added a tiny hint of heat to the pizza. As usual, leftovers were brought home. We also spotted a delicious looking sandwich hiding on the back counter. I enquired about it and the chef told us that they were trying it out for a new menu option. I wished I could have tried it, it looked so good! I also saw beautiful long sheets of home made lasagna pasta being prepared and cooked.By this time, the staff were remembering us, which isn’t hard because we both wear funky glasses. They are always friendly, efficient and they all do a great job. The restaurant is impeccably clean, has about 6 tables and offers frozen take home options too.By now, my kids are getting jealous that they haven’t been able to visit themselves so the same day as my hubby and I went for pizza, my daughter and I went for dinner. I ordered lasagna which I had spied at lunch time and my daughter had fettuccine Alfredo. As per usual, both portions were plenty large enough to share or take home leftovers. The lasagna had their tasty sauce, the perfect amount of cheese and was piping hot. The fettuccine Alfredo sauce was creamy, tasty with light fettuccine, cooked to perfection. Yet again, the staff were so kind and generous to send us home with some leftover focaccia. They said they were glad it was going to be enjoyed and would go to waste.In case it isn’t obvious by now, we LOVE Piazza Italian Eatery and have become regular customers. Hopefully my review has painted a detailed enough picture to entice you to give them a try. See you there soon!Parking: Parking is located out front or on the street
