“The wild mushroom salad is my fav, the meatballs are good but way overpriced. The best part was the lovely service I received. A woman from produce dropped what she was doing, went and washed her hands, put on gloves and, served me from the prepared food counter. Impressive customer service. Much appreciated.“
“Decided to change things up and sit at the bar, where I was served by the bartender named Nikki. She had recommended me getting the pizza nduja (and add hot sopresatta), which was incredible. She was very kind and funny, and kept checking up on us to make sure we were satisfied. Would highley recommend Motorino to my friends for our next outing and hope to be served by Nikki again!“
“Authentic, Italian dining with great ambiance, excellent service and reasonable prices. The only comment I would make is that that they need to write their specials down on a board. Our server (poor guy) had to repeat what was quite a long list of the specials to every single table. I couldn't remember half of them when he had finished so I ended up just ordering off the menu. It's a bit much to ask the servers to remember all the specials and then expect the guests to remember all of them. We feel like we missed out. Write down all on the specials on a board and let the guests take their time in choosing. Apart from that, the place was great and would have no hesitation in dining there again.“
“We have been to Trimani a few times with nothing but the best service and food both times. But Robert went above and beyond for a funeral catering that I needed in a pinch and he not only came through…he delivered it hot and fresh just as if we were sitting in the Restaraunt. Thank you Robert for the delicious food that was amazing and lots left over so we didn’t have to worry about cooking for a few days! Absolutely would recommend this Restaraunt for its great service, fresh food and amazing atmosphere.“
“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!“
“Went for dinner tonight with a large group of 30 ppl half kids. Place was busy service was friendly but due to the large size was rather slow. Food is just ok, had veal and potatoes plus the bread and salad. It was $120 for 4 ppl 2 adults and 2 kids which included drinks so the price is fair. If you have picky eaters then consider east sides as most kids will eat pasta or pizza. And again the staff was great i’m just not the biggest fan of the food.“
“Nascosto is a true Italian treasure! The staff is incredibly friendly and welcoming, making you feel right at home from the moment you arrive. And the food? Absolutely divine! Every dish bursts with authentic flavors, leaving you craving more. A must-visit spot for anyone craving Italian cuisine and a delightful dining experience. Grazie!“
“They are the Ontarian Olive Garden substitute for good italian food. But where Oive Garden hav lost the plot, east side marios have upped their game since when they years ago. Their menu provides you ample variety without confusing you too much. They have great Veg and non vegetarian options. Their all you can eat salads and soup with bread is a great option if you want to eat something light and healthy (Depending on your selection of soups and salad). They have a very good selection of drinks both alc & non-alc. The ambience isn't great but it is good. The pricing is also spot on which makes it good value for money. The staff serves with a smile. These reasons have made repeat customers of me and the fly.“
“Pizza Break is a cozy, neighborhood pizza joint in Venice Place. From the moment you step inside, the aroma of freshly baked pies and savory toppings fills the air.The mushrooms, pepperoni, and pineapple toppings were fresh, with a lot of flavour in every bite.One aspect I particularly enjoyed was the thin crust.The service is also noteworthy. The staff members were extremely polite and attentive, ensuring a pleasant dining experience from start to finish.It’s an excellent choice for a casual night out or for ordering in while enjoying events like UFC fights at home.“
“The atmosphere was welcoming and homey - we were greeted and welcomed immediately. The chef's specials were varied and amazing. Everything was fresh and made in house, and beautifully flavoured and plated. Staff were friendly without being intrusive and were very attentive. Bruschetta, risotto, duck, pasta dishes were mouth-watering! Highly recommend.“
“We just had dinner at Tovico. It was an awesome experience from start to finish. The service is diligent and attentive. The food is amazing; so well prepared! We asked for chicken saltimbocca which was not on the menu and they were glad to do it. The gnocchi with meat sauce were so delicious as was the pizza. Everything arrived at the table piping hot. We cannot wait to return.“

“Kids lover their mozza sticks & cheese pizza. We repeatedly get our pizza & Cinnabon combo. Amazing pizzas everytime & consistent smiling faces. New regular crust is very good, feels light and crispy.Yheir delivery also comes on time , hot pizzas every time as well.“
“We recently made my Mom’s 100th birthday lunch here. We had approximately 60 adults and 4 small children. I cannot rave enough about how accommodating the entire staff were from owner, to servers, to chefs…The menu they created was wonderful with the most delicious choices and generous portions. I would strongly recommend this restaurant for entertainments ( showers, engagements, small events .. etc) but also for lunch or dinner. They have a wonderful patio as well. I can’t wait to go back and I have the dishes I personally didn’t order. They were all great. My guests can’t stop raving.“
“Came to celebrate my parents 40th anniversary and was blown away.Food - we each ordered a different dish and loved it. Having traveled to Italy many times, I am fairly discerning when it comes to burrata and arancini, and was pleased with both. The lamb chops, gnocchi, cod, veal limone, and orichiette were all flavorful, balanced, well-portioned, and cleanly presented. The tiramisu, perfected over 10 years, was certainly one of the best I've tasted (share this as it's a large portion!).Service - top-notch from the start. I arrived 15 minutes early for my 8:15 Saturday night reservation, and watched as the staff spent a good 10 minutes ensuring the table setup was optimal; ensuring an even service between tables and fixing any wobbles. Our table was ready exactly on time and orders taken within minutes despite the dinner rush. Ample time was given between appetizers and mains, which I prefer. Tables were wiped, cleared, and fresh cutlery brought between each course. Our server (Kim) was knowledgeable, friendly, and engaging, willing to stop and chat.Atmosphere - ideal ambiance for the occasion. High quality build materials, design, and attention to details with plenty of items that bring character and draw attention. The dim lighting and wood lends to an intimate and cozy feel. It feels premium without being fussy. I could have been fooled to believe that I was in any establishment around Queen and Ossington that I typically frequent.This all might sound very high-brow, however the prices were fair and anyone would feel comfortable here, whether you're in jeans and a Hawaiian shirt, or a 3-piece suit.We will definitely return!“
“This was my first time trying this place and it was one of the best pizzas I ever had. I was order 58.Update: found out today is the last day of operations, sad to see it close down, I found this hidden gem last year, wish I found it sooner, but happy for Gerry as he gets to retire and move back to Italy,, happy retirement !“
“This is the best Italian restaurant that I have been to in my life. One of my favorite dish has to be the grilled calamari as it is charcoal grilled giving it an elevated smokey flavor. But that being said you can not go wrong with anything off there menu.“
“Highly, highly recommend eating here! My friend’s salad starter was HUGE. Our server advised us that it would be about 20 mins between courses…but it wasn’t even close. Our main dishes arrived in no time at all. I had the Basta which was absolutely delicious. It didn’t look like a ton of food but the portion was perfect. I had to save room for dessert. Their tiramisu and their pecan pie are homemade…so you know it’s going to be divine. Our reservation slot was an hour and a half but we were there for much longer. The servers are super friendly, the atmosphere was fantastic, the food was superb…go eat here!“
“Authentic Italian shop! We were skeptical because it looks like a fairly simple spot.Read the reviews and decided to give their famous veal sandwhich a try.The lady who greeted us was sweet and funny and gave us a real Italian Homey feel.I wish I took a picture of the sandwiches but we inhaled them!The bread was moist and fluffy not dense and dry like lots of veal sandwhich we’ve gotten elsewhere.The tomato sauce was so flavorful and sweet yet simple.The veal was so tasty and stayed crispy even when coated in the delicious tomato sauce. Our first but not our last visit. We’ve lived in Aurora for 8 years and can’t believe we didn’t find this spot sooner!If you’re looking for authentic Italian food made with love…this is it! ❤️ ? ??“
“This place is SO GOOD. We got the chicken deluxe and the veal cutlet sandwiches. The bread is nice and soft and not too massive like some other sandwich spots. Also we came at 3pm on a Wednesday so it was nice and quiet. The inside is clean and good for dining in. Will def be coming back often!“
“We are not from this area, but passing through late on Friday night back to Peterborough, we decided to find a place to eat. Always preferring local eateries vs "chain" stores whenever we're in a new place, we rolled into Sasso's on a whim. Vince the owner was very accomodating. Service was great, and my only regret was we couldn't hang out and experience some of their wine selection to go along with the fantastic food! (too long a cab ride...) Kudos to the chef! We'll definitely seek it out again next time we're in the Nobleton area. Thanks guys.“
“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.“
“Came to Parola for the first time to celebrate my moms birthday. Our experience was perfect from start to finish. For the cleanliness, to the food to the server Fabio. Best dining experience in a very long time , we highly recommend this restaurant and will be back soon. Thank you!!“
“Just popped in here and the people are so amazingly nice. The food was ?. Would totally recommend eating here.Rico at the bar and Julia at the cash as well as every other person just made my day a really nice one. I haven’t been to a place with this kind of care genuinely in so long. Absolutely great service and ambience. Keep growing and glowing .“
“Friendly owners, had the chicken souvlaki salad. Lettuce was fresh and crisp, nice green colour and good quality too, not that subway type. Very fast service with the chicken already being ready, and the price is 3-5 dollars cheaper then most places. All you need for a lunch spot!“
“So freaking good! Ordered just a basic cheese pizza for my little guy and myself. Was delish! I also really appreciated the gent on the phone who took the order, as well as the gent who delivered it. Great service. Will definitely order again (and again and again)!“
“We were driving from Alliston to Stoney Creek and stopped to find a place for dinner. We thought we wouldn’t get in without a reservation. We were seated at the bar. Mike was very hospitable, asking us about our likes and dislikes. We went with his suggestions. After an appetizer of warm olives, I had grilled sea bass with French fried carrot. Perfectly prepared, unusual and delicious. My husband had pasta with a pecorino cheese. We were very grateful to find this accommodating place for an impromptu visit dinner.“
“Great restaurant! It’s very busy on Friday and Saturday so make sure to make a reservation. The pasta is always delicious. Good selection of wine. The risotto was great. The gnocchi Gorgonzola is fantastic too. The atmosphere is vibrant and cozy. The Espresso always makes a great ending to a meal. Sometimes it can be a little loud if there’s a big party. The waiters know what they are doing ????❤️❤️“
“From the antipasto's to the desserts, everything was phenomenal. The specials were truly special, not seen in any of the other restaurants in the area. All four of us attending our dinner that night agreed that it was the best food ever had in the Vaughan area.The food was absolutely fabulous, the service was second to none, and the quiet ambiance was what was needed after a long busy week.I would recommend this to anyone who likes fine dinning, it's was worth the drive to Woodbridge.Bravo!“
“With the other option across the street being that annoying chain place, Pizza Lab is the far superior option. They might not have the flashy marketing but their pizza is better, toppings are included, and the service was great as well.I messed up and didnt get to try the house dipping sauce, but I'll be back for that soon.Vegetarian options: Lots of veggies availableParking: Parking lot is free for 3hrs“
“My wife and I have been coming to Casa for years and can never go wrong with the food, service and atmosphere. Vince and the entire team at Casa always go the extra mile. One of the best unique Neapolitan pizza's in the province. Keep it up team Casa!“
“Came here for dinner, we were seated upstairs. Good menu not too complicated, appetizers were great. Service was good, the server was serving the entire upstairs but you can tell he was a Veteran, he was attentive, made jokes, table maintenance was on point. The lighting was nicely dim, music was good, only feedback is we were seated by the stairs upstairs and on a cold day when the door opens downstairs it was cold, nothing to ruin a fun night though. We will be back!Parking: Inside a plaza, lots of free parking.“
“I’ve been to this place years ago and finally returned after a while, and I was not disappointed. The food was great and every dish we had was full of flavor. The menu is curated as Modern Italian, so it was nice to have an Italian/Spanish fusion menu aside from your traditional Italian dishes. Highly recommend the Shishito peppers, shrimp and mussel appetizers. Drinks were also great. The raspberry Moscow mule was outstanding.“
“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.“
“The service was fantastic! Roberto was very welcoming and attentive - I was impressed by how quick the staff was on both food and service. The food was delicious as well! We ordered fried calamari, spaghetti zia, penne vodka, and tiramisu. I especially loved the spaghetti zia with chilli oil, yum! This was my second time here and definitely not my last.“
“Just a great all around spot for pizza. Nice model of pay by weight, and a nice selection of different options. Really enjoyed the crunch on this pizza. Different from others I've had, both in Italy and in Canada, but delicious nonetheless.“
“First time at Spizzico and definitely not my last. Pizza was great. Penne alla vodka was delicious bought the hot oil made by the mother of the young lady who served us. A great choice for my 55th birthday. Will be back. Service was fantastic. Very “
“We had our wedding here October 24 2021. Mario and his staff went above and beyond. The food and service was exceptional! Thank you to everyone at Cento40 that made the day unforgettable! The restaurant is beautiful and our guests are still raving about their dinner and experience here!! We will be forever grateful for Cento40 making this day so perfect! Love, Jane & Rob“
“Went there with a big group on a weekday night. The arugula salad was excellent! I also enjoyed cif e ciaf. The rabbit meat was tender and could be easily broke apart with forks. Taste of the mushrooms was delicious. However, their specialty fish, red snapper, was not as impressive compared to their other two dishes.Our server was quite friendly and responded promptly to our requests. The ambiance was a bit loud but very nice if you’re looking for an authentic Italian place.“
“It’s a cosy restaurant in a strip mall that is unassuming but the minute you open the door you can smell the delicious food. We had a great lunch of grilled calamari and Caesar salad with 2 pasta dishes. The staff was accommodating and pleasant. I would certainly go back again. I highly recommend it.“
“Have been coming to this location for a while now. It is the best PiCo in the GTA after going to several others over the years. Very friendly staff, extremely clean from inside, and great food as well with several vegan and vegetarian options.“
“Love love love this place. Fills the food void I miss from my Nonna. Everything is delicious. But my go to every time in the veal on a bun. Mmmmmmm. Eat one of those you’re good for the day. Puts me in a food coma. My vegan sister devours the eggplant on a bun. Staff is very polite. I haven’t eaten in the restaurant. I gotta take food home cause I usually wear it ?. Location is convenient central. I also appreciate how they package the to go meals. Packaging is recyclable and placed carefully in carry out bag. Come with stretchy pants cause the portions are huge“
“I recently had a fantastic pizza experience at location. The pizza was incredibly delicious, with a perfect balance of flavors and quality ingredients. The crust was just right—crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. The service was prompt and friendly, enhancing the overall enjoyment of the meal. I highly recommend place for anyone seeking a top-notch pizza experience.“
“Osteria gente is a great place for Italian food. From the service, to the cocktails, this place has everything you want and a few things you didn’t know u need. The waiters are very professional, have a great knowledge of wine, the chef, is the best in the business and the atmosphere, there is nothing else out there like it. It’s a must recommend to try this place. U won’t be disappointed.“
“Amazing service, the food was fantastic and the environment was very welcomong and clean, especially with COVID you cant be too careful. if you love Italian food it's a must visit, it will become your new favorite Italian place to go!!“
“Went for an early Saturday night dinner a couple of weeks ago.Hospitality by the owner, Maria and her son was amazing!Food quality was perfect, just like homemade!Highly recommend this place but call ahead first for a reservation and to make sure they don’t have a function that night.Food was hot and tasty and decent portion sizes.Will definitely go back again.“

“California Sandwiches is a standout spot! The food is simply delicious, and the service is excellent. Every dish bursts with flavor, showcasing the quality ingredients they use. The staff is friendly, attentive, and dedicated to providing a great dining experience. Whether you’re in the mood for a classic sandwich or something more adventurous, California Sandwiches delivers on both taste and service. Definitely worth a visit!“
“This place was rammed on a Tuesday evening. It was a good thing we had reservations. The food was fantastic and the service was also great. Our hostess was very attentive and available when required. I have the fetucini Alfredo with shrimp which was delicious. The serving sizes weren't crazy but you left full. 2 at our table had the swordfish which was also apparently very good. We also had the fried calamari starter which was also very good. Will definitely be back.Parking: Lots of spots this place is right next to Vaughan Mills mall.“
“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!“
“Overall, the dining experience was excellent. The food was complemented by attentive service and a unique atmosphere. There's definite room for improvement on the desserts, which did not taste the greatest. That did not take much away from the experience. We will be coming back.“
“I went to the Locale restaurant juste a couple weeks ago to meet with an ex- coworker. She went there before but it was my first visit.I only have good things to say about this place: it's basically located in an old house, with a classy yet relaxed atmosphere and lots of space to host your friends gathering.Food was excellent. I had the funghi pizza, and my friend had the amaro salad with chicken. Both were excellent and very decent serving sizes. We had a bottle of sparkling water as drinks. Service was equally good and pricing decent. The area is very quaint too if you ever want to go for a walk after.I would highly recommend you visit this restaurant, I will keep the place in mind for my next time in the area.The only possible downside is the possible lack of parking spaces during busy times. I parked on the street but my friend had to park further out.Additionally access to wheelchairs might be tricky because the front entrance has stairs on both sides. I do not believe there is a rear entrance that would accommodate for wheelchair access, but you would be safer calling them to confirm before visiting.Parking: Could be challenging to park during peak hours.Wheelchair accessibility: Contact the restaurant to confirm as the main (and only?) front entrance has stairs on both sides.“
