41 Best Italian Restaurants in Hamilton

“Came here Monday night with my brother and the food was amazing. Our server was Peter and he was so nice! He checked in with us once and seriously that was amazing. Nothing is worse than a server who checks in 6 times. Peter is wonderful and our drinks were delicious! Thank you for your great service! Boss man: Peter needs a raise!!“

“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.“

“When we arrived we were greeting by two young ladies ( sorry I didn't get their names. ) who were awesome they greeted us with a huge smile and we had a few laughs. We were seated very quick. Our server Nina was wonderful, very good at her job and we watched her with other customers and she made everyone feel important. Our food was delicious. We will be back soon Denise & Dan“

“We celebrated our sons and FDIL Yankas shower a couple of weeks ago. I can't say enough about Guilia and her team. The set-up was beautiful and the food was delicious. We are still getting compliments ,and the future Bride and Groom were thrilled. Thank you Guilia !“

“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“

“Excellent service, and excellent food. We stayed at c hotel to celebrate our anniversary as we got married there years ago and wanted to return to celebrate. We ate at Baci for the first time last night and we had the pepperoni and margarita pizza. Honestly it’s some of the best pizza I may have ever had. It had the taste of Neapolitan pizza but without the flop. It was nice and crispy with a beautiful char flavour, loaded with pepperoni and cheese. I can’t wait to come back to eat again, thanks for a great dinner!“

“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!“

“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!“

“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!“

“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.“

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

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

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

“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 food and service. A must try!“

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

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

“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!“

“this place is a hidden gem. the most authentic Italian I have had. please go“

“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 had a great experience at this Pizza Hut! The food came out hot, fresh, and exactly how I ordered it. What really stood out to me was the service—Shannon, the manager, was super friendly and made sure everything was perfect. It’s not often you see a manager so hands-on and caring about customers, and it really made the visit feel welcoming. Definitely coming back again!“

“Moved to Binbrook 5 months ago and was looking for my go-to pizza place. Binbrook Pizza has not disappointed! The pizza is generous with cheese and toppings, and the sauce has a nice garlic-spice flavour that really elevates it. It’s also small and owner-operated—not a chain—which is always nice to support. Love this pizza, the variety on the menu, and the appetizers too!“

“We recently ordered from them for our school graduation ceremony and the service was outstanding! The food was fresh, appetizing and exactly as ordered. They exceeded our expectations. Will be a repeat customer for sure, well done!! We ordered from Giselle at the Bovaird and Torbram location and she was an absolute sweetheart to deal with and went above and beyond!“

“Great food. Great atmosphere. Inclusive!! 🌈“

The pizza came out hot, fresh, and loaded with toppings, just exactly how we ordered it. The crust was perfectly baked, and the cheese was deliciously good“

“This Pizza Pizza is my everyday go-to spot. The staff is always so friendly and nice— they treat me like a regular and usually know what I’m about to order before I even say it. 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!!“
