4 Best Italian Restaurants near Carleton Place

“My wife and I went to this restaurant to celebrate her birthday. We had made reservations and were immediately greeted at the door by one of the servers who sat us inside by the window with a beautiful view of the river.My wife ordered the calamari as an appetizer and I had the roasted beet salad and both did not disappoint. The calamari was done perfectly and my salad was nice and fresh with plenty of nicely done beets.My main course was the duck confit which was somewhat disappointing. The two legs I first received were so dry I could not even cut them. I mentioned this to the server who immediately ordered another one to replace this. Unfortunately this one was only marginally better. I question whether the duck had been frozen to long or thawed in the microwave but it was certainly very tough and dry.My wife's lamb was done perfectly and she quite enjoyed it with the roasted vegetables.All in all an enjoyable evening...just don't order the duck.“

“We have been here multiple times, and we have never had a bad meal. In fact, we have never had a mediocre meal. Every meal is not just delicious, but presented beautifully. As a foodie, this place is definitely worth the drive. You can’t beat the food or the view.“

“Amazing experience! Beautiful setting, the waiter was exceptional (never hovering but very attentive not missing a beat….we hate when the main comes out before you’re finished the appetizer), and the food was amazing! Wished I’d taken photos because the presentation was spot on. The calamari, the Caesar salad and the lobster ravioli were all over the top. Super relaxing amazing meal, and the bottle of wine was oh so good! We’ve been here before, but this time, it was exceptional! Maybe it was the waiter?“
