11 Best Italian Restaurants near Brantford

“We were passing through on our way to Niagara falls and on recommendations fron the reviews decided to try this restaurant. From stepping in, to the explanation of the specials, it was superb. I chose the pasta with seafood, but modified the combo, no problem. The food was piping hot and delish! The tiramisu that ended our meal was wonderful too. I'd definitely go back. Try it for a special occasion, you won't be disappointed.“

“Wonderful service, fresh and delicious food. What more could you ask for!“

“I have to say I thought the franchise was falling apart with so many negative experiences at my local Burlington Location. This Brantford location was the total opposite great service and the food tasted amazing. Highly recommend checking this location out our party had a great experience.“

“First time and we were impressed. My husband went in for takeout. We ordered two different types of pizza slices, chicken, fettuccine, sausage penne, Caesar salad. We were raving about each dish! We really like the flatter bread pizza and the more authentic flavoring. My husband was impressed with how very clean the restaurant was and how you can see them making your food. He said to the older lady behind the counter this was his first visit. And she said, “Well, it won’t be your last!”. She knows it and she’s exactly right! My husband was happy with the very large slices of pizza he received and the portions were good. Except that I always want more!! Lol I am used to creamy chicken fettuccine. But this was beautifully rich. The sausage has a lovely mild flavour in a lovely sauce in the sausage penne. And it’s a great Caesar salad- very satisfying. Sometimes they can be a little bit skimpy on the Caesar sauce in other restaurants. This was perfect.
Zaza is our new favorite. Of course, will be back! I could eat up the whole menu, it looks so good. Jumbo cheese ravioli is next! Also, this business is happy to take cash, which is nice. We felt we had very good value for what we paid.
Great job Zaza!“

“recently moved to Brantford and made our first visit 9/27/24 for dinner. Super friendly and courteous service, excellent food all homemade. left with takeaway boxes as the portions were so generous. Great value and not overpriced. Will be returning soon.“

“My wife had her works Christmas supper at Mercasa and the food was absolutely incredible!! Service was impeccable and the private room was warm and inviting. (Oh and the tattooed beauty was very cool and fun to talk to!!)“

“I’ve read the reviews prior to coming here. I can completely understand how the reservation through the phone communication service and the way they communicate with customers can rub people the wrong way and can be a little annoying. The person I called is very Italian. Take it however you like it.

But as someone who’s come here for the first time, the service when dining in is phenomenal. Fine dining service level. We booked for 12:30pm (book that time).

Ordered 2 Appetisers: Anti-Pasto & Escargot.

Two mains: Rosé Cannelloni (Daily Special) & Octopus.

Dessert: Limoncello Tiramisu.

All dishes are presented beautifully, well seasoned and delicious. The octopus is very tender and soft, cooked very well. Along with dining here, they also have some freshly made sliced bread served with salted butter which was really delicious.

Overall amazing experience, would come again. Just book 2 hours prior till closing. Parking spots at the back.

Parking: Plenty at the back of restaurant“

“The man who works late is very polite and always makes tasty pizza. I come to this location a few times a month and have had very few bad experiences, 9/10 the quality of my food is top notch and exactly what i was expecting. The 2 topping large with 8 wings deal right now is hard to beat.“

“i ordered a large ,deep dish/pan, special of the day during the week , for pick up. I believe it had three toppings. If you order what i ordered as a walk in , then I think it would be around $30; but since i ordered online , i think it was a half price discount at around $14 plus tax (?). I walked to pick it up. It was perfect ! Exactly what i wanted ! It was ready on time. The server/ worker/ manager were nice to me . No problem. Price was right. Pizza was deep dish/pan; exactly what I wanted. I never had any complaints with this Pizza Hut. I dont really know what all the complaints are about....“

“This is the ONLY place to get consistent, PERFECT wings every time you order!! Pizza is delicious also and the Staff is always friendly. I've been getting wings from here for over 20 years and they have never disappointed. GRAB SOME TONIGHT!“

“Had a wonderful dinner at La Cantinella tonight but. Delicious food, fresh and hot! Excellent service. Thanks Tara.“
