15 Best Italian Restaurants in Kitchener

“Best Veal Sandwich....Period!“

“The Tri City Food Ninjas stopped in to Rustico tonight. We were a group of 46. Where do I start? The food: The food is incredible. ESPECIALLY the Arancini. Unfortunately I dove face first into my pizza before remembering to take a photo. The homemade Caesar dressing is also something quite special. The service: Staff was so attentive and on their game. They had us full of drinks, appetizers, mains, and dessert (in a lot of cases) in under two hours. We have some older members, some who work midnights and such, and the timing really meant a lot to them. We have had exceptional service in the past but the organization of this small kitchen and the serving staff is impressive! Everyone under that roof tonight showed so much pride in what they were doing. We will be talking about this stop for quite some time. Thank you for having us!“

“Wow, I went with two friends and the food was amazing! I had the best scallops I had ever had on top of home made pasta. I cannot wait to go back❤️“

“A Hidden Gem of Warm Hospitality and Rich Flavours

I had the most wonderful experience at this Ethiopian restaurant. From the moment I walked in, I was welcomed with genuine warmth and hospitality that immediately made me feel at home. The food was absolutely delicious—rich, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Every dish was thoughtfully prepared, and you could taste the love and tradition in every bite.

One of the highlights of my visit was the traditional Ethiopian coffee ceremony. It was not just a cup of coffee—it was an experience. The aroma, the presentation, and the ritual itself were both calming and memorable, adding an authentic cultural touch that elevated my entire visit.

I ended up staying for a few hours to get some work done on my laptop, and the staff could not have been more gracious. They never made me feel rushed, and even checked in periodically to offer tea or a refill. The peaceful atmosphere, paired with the subtle background music and comforting scents of spices and coffee, made it a perfect work spot.

Whether you’re looking for a hearty, soulful meal, an introduction to Ethiopian traditions, or just a warm and welcoming space to relax or work, this restaurant truly delivers on all fronts. Highly recommended!“

“Food was fantastic! The orders were all extremely flavourful, and large portions.Atmosphere was nice. Will definitely make the drive to visit again!“

“We recently went to Del's for the first time. Our server Devon M was incredible.. can't say enough good things about him and would highly recommend requesting his section when you go. Food was delicious, portion sizes were great, patio was cute and cozy, and overall great service. We will definitely be returning.“

“Simply fantastic! First of many visits I’m sure!“

“First time here and we decided to try more dishes. Atmosphere and service is good, but the food is just alright for the prices here… we definitely have our favourite Italian place and this one didn’t make the cut with the food for us. The portions are a bit small.“

“I appreciate the opportunity to provide feedback on our recent experience. The pizza was truly enjoyable, with a perfectly cooked crust that had a delightful texture. The toppings were fresh and flavorful, complementing each other in a harmonious way. We also appreciated the friendly and efficient service from Saksham and Navdeep. The atmosphere of the store was welcoming and comfortable, creating a pleasant dining experience. I was very pleased with the overall quality and strongly recommend this pizza. We look forward to returning soon for another delicious meal.“

“I have been searching for a new pizza place ever since my “go to” spot changed ownership. THE SEARCH IS OVER! I just ate a delicious pizza, the crust is perfect, sauce is wonderful (not sweet), and good quality toppings. The homemade chipotle dip is AMAZING! The service was quick and friendly and the price is good too! Thanks for a great dinner. I will definitely be back.“

“We frequently get take out from here. Always good food and great prices. The beef stroganoff and battered mushrooms are my favourite.“

“Was delicious but the quantity was not enough.
I ordered large veggie pizza for (pickup)with cheese filled crust.
And told them to add alot of veggies but when i opened the box the veggies were only few.

Quality was good but quantity was not enough as large pizza.“

“After what feels like ages, I finally had a pizza that made me stop mid-bite and just smile. Huge shoutout to Umang for making one of the best pizzas I’ve had in a long time. The crust was just right, the flavors were balanced, and you could genuinely taste the love and effort behind it.“

“Indian Pizza options which includes Paneer Pizza! Was really delicious🤤“

“Some people serve food, but a few serve warmth — Dipali does both.
From the moment we walked in, her energy lit up the place. Calm, courteous, and confidently in control, she made sure our visit felt less like a fast-food stop and more like a comforting pause in a busy day.

It wasn’t just the pizza that left a good taste — it was the experience she created around it.
Dipali, you’re not just a staff member — you’re Pizza Hut’s secret ingredient.

Thank you for the kindness and care. People like you turn meals into memories.“
