“My friend recommended Locale and wow, was it wonderful. The staff were warm and welcoming and the food was top notch. The mussels were great as an appetizer and the seafood pasta was perfectly cooked. For a little giddy up, I added the hot pepper oil, and it was delightful. The warm sour dough bread was a great adfition. Roman, and team, did a stellar job in looking after us this evening. I will go back for the pizza next time.“

“Motorino is a must try! A group of 4 of us visited the restaurant last Saturday, and we had a great experience. It was my first time since the reno and I was impressed with how elevated the place looked ! The new menu is fantastic, and we even were able to take their homemade sauce home with us. LOVED the chicken wings, the fava and cicoria and bone marrow picci pasta . Service was excellent and definitely complimented the evening. See you again soon motorino“

“I was craving authentic Italian pizza and this little gem showed up on the map. My prayers were answered! The dough was crispy on the outside, chewy on the inside, and packed with a flavour that would make my nonna cry tears of joy. Just the right amount of fresh topping to enhance it. Magnifico! 😋“

“Wow it was so good experience the service was good the good was so good it was my first time there all I can say I do recommend to try it my boys meet the chef very friendly“

“I ordered the wedding soup take out. $7.99 but the paper cup they give you is minuscule. Should be at least double the size for the price they charge. What a rip off. Too bad because I like there food overall“

“The kids and I love East side Mario's. Decent menu of Italian dishes and pubfare. Pretty much ever meal has the unlimited salad or soup priced in now so prices seem up since they combined it in (used to be a seperate charge) but are pretty much the same. Staff is always friendly and patient with the kids. Recently went for family members birthday and the have a robot bring out the desert so the kids absolutely love that. Food has always been great and served in a reasonable timeframe. Would recommend for a family night out. Also plenty of tv's at angle that allow you to see the game/scores without looking like you're watching the game ;)“

“Fantastic restaurant. Server was perfect, came around enough but not too much. Some of the food was great and some could have been a little more flavorful but not enough to make me not go back. My only real complaint is that they don't have enough parking but they do have complimentary parking but I'm ocd and need to park myself so I had to park next door and it was really cold. Overall great place. Do recommend.“

“I can never get tired of this place. I really enjoy their menu. Great atmosphere, great weight staff overall, I have a great experience visited the Sherway Gardens location first followed by the location by Colossus Both locations left me with great experience overall and will return again!“

“We had an amazing experience here, the service, atmosphere and the food is authentic and delicious. Appetizers were tasty, a mix of bread, cheese and bruchetas. We tried the steak, lamb chops, Miso Cod all were great and highly recommended. Ended the night with yummy deserts, Creme Brule was my favourite!“

“Today we celebrated my father’s 90th birthday and there is no better place to celebrate than at Tovico! The food is great, the staff is very professional and make you feel very welcoming. Our guests commented that they would be coming back soon making us feel that they also had a great experience. Thank Riccardo, Tessa, Leo and staff for a great time. See you soon, Mary“

“Excellent food. and very friendly staff. The mushroom salad, veal marsala, and the short ribs were fantastic. We highly recommend this restaurant.“

“We’ve visited Pico several times now, and it’s become one of our go-to places. The pizza is always fresh and flavourful, and you can tell they use quality ingredients. What really stands out, though, is the way the place is managed. Shehan is incredibly welcoming, he remembers customers, checks in with a smile, and makes the whole experience feel personal. It’s rare to see service that genuine these days, and it makes a big difference. Pico is lucky to have him.“

“My husband and I recently had a fantastic experience at Ciao Roma, which stands out from the typical pizza joints. The unique pay-by-weight system allows you to sample multiple varieties of pizza without committing to a full slice or pie. This feature adds a delightful twist to your dining experience.

We tried four different types of pizza, and each one was phenomenal. The crust was wonderfully crispy, and the flavors were vibrant and well-balanced. Additionally, we indulged in a sandwich filled with prosciutto, arugula, and cheese, which was equally delicious.

Overall, Ciao Roma exceeded our expectations, and I can't wait to return for more culinary adventures. Highly recommended for anyone looking to enjoy a diverse pizza experience!“

“L'Antipasto delivered an elevated dining experience from start to finish. The tableside pasta service was both delicious and beautifully presented, and even the tea service reflected such refined attention to detail. It's a rare treat to enjoy this level of dining without having to head downtown. The thoughtful touch of a small table for our purses said it all — impeccable service and care in every detail. Can't wait to return!“

“Absolutely amazing Italian restaurant! The food is seriously the best, everything tastes fresh, authentic, and full of flavor. You can tell a lot of care goes into every dish. From the pasta to the sauces, it’s all top quality. Great atmosphere, friendly service, and really good food. Easily one of the best Italian spots around. Highly recommend! 🍝🇮🇹“

“Having dined at Osteria Gente 4 times in recent weeks over weeknights and weekends, we experienced consistency in superior food quality and variety, efficient and friendly service (Aurora is wonderful) all in a relaxed, clean, and welcoming (and very accessible) atmosphere. Thank you Chef Antonio!“

“Our experience at Farro Ristorante is exceptional every single time. It always begins with the warm, kind, and sincere greeting from Carmine, Chef Roberto, and the pizza chef, who always has such a welcoming smile. As we’re escorted to our table, the rest of the staff greets us as though we’re being welcomed into their home.

We’ve hosted several family events at Farro Ristorante over the years and have consistently received outstanding service from start to finish.

It truly never matters who our server is — we always receive the same wonderful experience from every member of the team. A special thank you to Jerry, Danny, Raymond, and Samuele for always treating us with such kindness.

You are all exceptional at what you do, and you make us want to return again and again — sometimes weekly! 😊

Carmine, you always go above and beyond, making us feel welcome and like family.
Chef Roberto, thank you for your consistently delicious food — we’re already looking forward to using your perfect pizza dough again next summer in our pizza oven.

We appreciate you all so very much.

“This place is hands down the best hidden gem in Ontario for authentic Italian food that tastes exactly like nonna or momma used to make it if not better 😋 thank you to the amazing waiters that were very spot on for our large party of about 40 people 👌 can't wait to come back for more amazing food.“

“blano pizza and gnocchi were delicious 😋“

“Awesome Italian Restaurant. Authentic friendly staff. Great lunch or dinner options.“

“What an incredible experience. Arti is consistently the best. Just when we think we have a favourite dish or drink, they create a new favourite! We had the pad Thai and the branzino/lentil/chickpeas and WOW…So delicious!!! The drinks were all so good & my fav tonight was the Le Fleur. Keep it up and keep surprising us“

“I’ve been to this restaurant several times. Food is absolutely amazing and for this reason alone I will return. But as far as the owner is concerned … was very disappointed how he treated us. He basically kicked us out of our seats. The couple sitting next to us who were there already when we were seated were still there enjoying their time yet Walter asked my friend and I to leave because he had the next guests waiting. My guess is he had no problem asking us to leave because we were two females hence the reason he felt he could bully us, however, it would be a different story had he asked a couple to leave. Long story short, not impressed with Walter to say the least but food is exceptional!!“

“They have a new menu out and there are items on it like polenta with ribs and sausage, bacala, homemade chicken soup with pastina and meatballs, papardelle with short ribs, speducci with minestra and lots more. A must try so authentic and a taste like Italy“

“Had my nephew’s engagement over the weekend and the food was exceptional! My choice was salmon with vegetables and the salmon was enjoyed by all. A very nice size cooked to perfection…a nice crispy top and ever so tender on the inside. Not dry at all! Service was wonderful as well. Definitely going back!“

“Beautiful Place. You must go and treat yourself and family“

“Love this place my favourite!“

“Extremely good restaurant! as Italian I was never expecting to find these so good quality and tradition on the other side of the earth. Se siete italiani dovete assolutamente mangiare qui!“

“Enjoyed a beautifully crafted family style lunch with friends. This restaurant makes you feel like you’re entering a family’s home kitchen, so welcoming. The meats and pasta were perfectly cooked! I look forward to coming back very soon for some comforting Italian food.“

“Great place, amazing food and impeccable service.!!!“

“The best seafood pasta in the city!! Most close to what we’ve eaten in Italy . Seafood pasta had lobster scallop shrimp , squid and mussels. Beats anything else in Vaughan and Downtown Toronto . Service was quick and Owner is very friendly as well! Pricing is very reasonable for what was provided . Tiramisu is a must try for dessert!“

“I’ve been a regular here for about 30 years. Family, food experience and high school cafeteria gallerie where all your friends meet for lunch and enjoy the company“

“Honestly? Best meal I’ve had in about 5 years! Had a lovely bisque seafood chowder- and my main was bistecca Zafferano, with mushroom risotto! Spectacular meal and exceptional service from Michael- I’ll be back!! Can’t wait I try other menu items!“

“Ottimo ristorante,ottima cucina, complimenti a tutto lo staff💯“

“Was a bit weary about this place as it is in a hotel and most Marriott hotels don’t even have decent food.

This was probably the best Italian food we have had in the area…. A lot to say bordering Woodbridge.

The food was absolutely delicious and the dessert even better. Would have liked a bread basket to start but all in all very good authentic food“

“Maria's Kitchen is one of the best best diners I have ever savored in Toronto. Going into the restaurant, the ambience is so cozy. The music volume was optimal. The service was good, friendly and comfortable. The food was amazing, in which the taste is so delicious; and the portion is reasonably large. My family has listed Maria's Kitchen as our regular dining.“

“first time eating here and it won't be the last time !!!“

“Amazing place with great patio Food was superb Service is awesome“

“It was our 1st time there and believe me we were not disapointed. Very clean place,Enza our server was excellent! Already planning a party for my husband's 50th birthday in January, we will be going back in another week! Bravo Orsini's“

“Ordered two pasta dishes…Penne Ala Rosa and Tortellini Alfredo for our Thanksgiving dinner. I have to say that the Penne was very good, but it had bacon in it so not sure if I was given the Penne with Pancetta or not. The Tortellini was so bland and tasteless…very disappointing as we had loved it in the past. They supplied tons of Parmesan cheese, but no crusty rolls as mentioned in their menu.

Sadly I won’t be ordering again from Santino’s..

No one took any doggie bags home, that’s a first.“

“I’m staying at Cortellucci hospital and have been ordering from Vivo’s almost every night. Their food is excellent and has a great selection. The owner even sent me a complimentary tiramisu because she knows I’m at the hospital. Very sweet of her.
Thank you!“

“We loved the quiet, comfortable family atmosphere with FANTASTIC food.“
