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

“We had a very enjoyable experience. The food was absolutely fantastic. Our waiter was very attentive and friendly. The pace was perfect, we didn’t feel rushed at all. This was our first time here and we will definitely be back soon!!“

“Amazing Italian food north of the GTA. Food was delicious and rich in flavour, including my Ossobuco with risotto, and my wife's cacio e pepe pasta. The veal was so tender and fall off the bone goodness. My smoked Old Fashion was just as smooth with an after taste of a good cigar. Our experienced server, Roberto(?), made the evening the most enjoyable ever. He was engaging, fun, personable, and made us felt welcome and helped us with our food and wine selection as well, as this was our first time here. But it certainly won't be our last. One of the best dinning and date night experiences!“

“Had a Verdolino pizza at sughetto pizza shoppe with my sister. it had a heavenly taste. Thank you . You should try it too❤️“

“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 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!“

“Best pizza! Wonderful staff!!!“

“We were visiting Vaughan, staying at a nearby hotel and found this gem- the food was delicious! When it comes to Italian, for us, it is all about the sauce. This sauce was just like Nonna's. Everything was great, servers were attentive and we are planning to return the next time we are in town!“

“Absolutely loved the vibe of this restaurant! The atmosphere was warm, lively, and authentic. It genuinely reminded me of being at a restaurant in Italy. The service was also excellent; everyone was friendly, attentive, and made the experience even better. We started with the pizza topped with cherry tomatoes and burrata, which was delicious. For pasta, I had the Paccheri with Guanciale, and my fiancée had the Mafalde ai Funghi. Both dishes were very good and had great flavours. My only small criticism would be that the pasta itself could have used a little more seasoning it tasted as though the pasta water may not have been salted enough. The sauces were fantastic, but a little more seasoning in the pasta would have made both dishes perfect. For our main, we shared the Vitello alla Milanese, which was also absolutely delicious and cooked beautifully. Overall, we had a fantastic experience. Great atmosphere, great service, and phenomenal food. I would definitely recommend this restaurant and will absolutely be coming back!“

“Went here Friday night with a girlfriend. It's a cute little Italian restaurant. Good menu, good food and good staff. The buratta was delicious, and so were our mains.
Our main server Victoria was so amazing and attentive! Highly recommend her.
But I gave 4 stars as we didn't like the attitude of one of the other servers who first denied us a table and second tried to rush us with ordering our mains. Also a 3rd server also seeemd to rush us and even tried to take my plate away when I wasn't done!“

“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“

“The staff was lovely, the food was good!! Would def eat her again!“

“We were there for dinner. The server Colette was alone handling the bar and the food service. Food was very good tasting, quick and hot. Her service was exceptional, a very pleasant experience.“

“Consistently excellent. Always very busy and that means ambient noise is pretty high. But if you're doing things right - and Locale is doing everything right - it means you're running a very popular spot that's full of happy chatting people.“

“Lovely venue, stylish ambiance, tasty Italian food choices, great wines offered by Vitalita www.Vitalita.ca Overall nice place in Woodbridge to dine or meet friend for lunch. I will revisit.“

“Thanks for another fantastic evening. We really enjoyed our meal the food is always exceptional. The restaurant was really busy and the service was still outstanding. Well done everyone. 👏“

“I had an amazing experience at Ciao Roma! The customer service was outstanding—everyone was friendly, welcoming, and attentive. The pizza was incredibly fresh, and you can really taste the quality of the ingredients. Every single pizza is absolutely delicious, making it so hard to choose a favorite. I highly recommend Ciao Roma to anyone looking for authentic, fresh, and flavorful pizza. I’ll definitely be back!“

“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!“

“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“

“Amazing....Greek pizza....etc...best we've tasted..“

“We had a family event last night at their restaurant. I can't stress how great the value is here, and the food quality was top shelf. I have eaten food cooked by some of the best chefs in the world and this was every bit as good. the staff were attentive but not at all intrusive. very accommodating for our large group of 15 people. Their shrimp and calamari platter was cooked perfectly, not at all rubbery, with a divine sauce to dip. Pasta nicely al denté. Calabrese antipasto, nice bread spread. Perfect, and I do mean PERFECTLY, cooked steak, chicken, and sausages. Their pizza is simple but lovely balanced between crisp and chewy. Not too thick, not too thin. Arancini were great. I highly recommend them for your next family event, or just a quiet night out for the family! Thank you to all the staff and the chef for making our family event a success, and we look forward to seeing you again soon!“

“Food service n value for money was great Only really loud drawback was screaming kid in the booth next to ours ...apparently parents no longer take accountability for them..swore my dad would have gone deaf if we didn't leave when we did..not your fault but did damage the dining experience!! Will certainly never go back on a Tuesday!!“

“Absolute Top Italian Restaurant! Top Food, Top Service and Top Atmosphere. Italian waiters, Italian chefs, Italian homemade food, Italian wines....
L'Antipasto Ristorante blew us away for the time we pulled up to their reserved parking spots. Upon coming close to the front door about to enter the door opened and we were welcomed in by their friendly Italian staff. The menu, which it seems is updated with daily specials, was a fantastic assortment of classic Italian cuisine from all over Italy. We tried the octopus, which was so tender and perfectly presented, we are still talking about how amazing it was the next day. Their pasta was perfect al dente, freshly made that day and cut not extruded, perfection. The service was world class, professional, curious, not rushed at all, focusing on making it feel like you were invited over to your good friends home in Italy for that perfect meal. The house wines - perfectly matched, the cappuccino, amazing! Thank you for the perfect family dinner we will always remember. See you all again soon.“

“Our first time there.so many good things to say. The service good vibes just loved it. What a way to celebrate my moms birthday. Thank you so much will definitely be back. 🍷🍷❤️“

“Absolutely love this place! Every dish I’ve tried has been incredible, but the penne alla vodka, the calamari fritti, and the stuffed peppers are absolute standouts—flavorful and perfectly cooked. The entire menu is consistently delicious, and the service is outstanding—friendly, attentive, and welcoming every time. Truly one of my favorite Italian spots!“

“We celebrated our daughert and son in law Baby Shower on Sunday, July 20th. We would like to congratulate Il Gatto team members for the exceptional overall service. We were a larger group and from setting up the day before to serving on Sunday everything was wonderfully done. Special mention to Rene for ensuring everyone was looked after in an excellent manner. Well done! 👏👏“

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

“Tried this restaurant for the first time and I was overwhelmingly impressed. The atmosphere took me back to Italy. Nice to see a generous amount of bread as an appetizer with olive oil and balsamic. Tried the pasta and it blew me away, the quality and freshness was superb, especially Lucio Spaghetti. Service was amazing as well, will be back soon!“

“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 went there yesterday for dinner with my aunt and her daughter to celebrate my birthday and server was informed about it. Coming to the food, pizza was exceptionally made. I could feel the taste of the pizza I had in Rome. Pasta was okay, it could have been better. We requested egg free penne pasta and it was accommodated.
Now comes the part I absolutely love - dessert. I am a big fan of gelatos and I asked this server if they have any gelatos. She gave us 4 options and we chose pistachio and chocolate. She literally served us a very bad quality pistachio ice cream and when I gave her feedback she tried to cover it up saying you know it is italian pistachio gelato maybe that’s why you are not used to of it. Who would tell this lady that I have tried most of the gelato places in GTA/Ottawa and I also tried it in Rome. So, you cannot fool me by serving me a low quality ice cream. Pistachio ice cream had a very different green color which by look made me upset and then the bitter taste it had! To my surprise, there was nothing done to make our experience better even when we complained about it. In the end, we ordered coffee which was okay. Service could be lot better.“

“Excellent Service, ambiance and the food was fabulous. Great proportion and selection. I ordered the spelt dough pizza with eggplant. It was perfectly cooked. Daughters ordered the penne alla vodka which was creamy and just enough pancetta. The veal Parmesan came with potatoes and veggies. Presentation of plates did not go unnoticed! We will definitely be back for more family functions.“

“blano pizza and gnocchi were delicious 😋“

“Loved everything about it, nice waiters lovely atmosphere, great for birthdays and friends gatherings. Most importantly, big delicious meals from salads to pizza and pasta, seafood was extremely good, Perfect for those who love Italian cuisine, definitely recommends it 😍😍“

“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!!“

“Amazing experience, wonderful hospitality, and super clean. The food was delicious, served quickly in a lovely atmosphere. There was music 🎶 playing in the background, the lights were captivating and we enjoyed the space so much, we stayed after dinner to enjoy the venue.“

“The cold cut sandwich was incredible and very big (my bf and I split it) and came with a delicious salad.

Cappuccinos were also very good and the man who took our order was very friendly and helped me decide between cinnamon or chocolate (chocolate).

Definitely worth the stop if you’re in the area and hungry:)“

“Absolutely one of the best Italian spots in Toronto! Remo’s Place offers incredible value for the quality and amount of food you get. The portions are very generous, and you can really taste the difference knowing everything is homemade, especially the sauce. The food is fresh, authentic, delicious, and made with care. It’s hard to find portions and quality like this at such a great price. Definitely a hidden gem and a place I’ll keep coming back to. Highly recommend!“

“We just happened upon Nobleton’s VIvo on a drive through town tonight looking for a place to stop for dinner…what an absolute treasure we found! The food was delicious, the staff treated us like family and the atmosphere was almost festive! We left with our tummies full, a bounce in our steps and our hearts happy having such a wonderful dinning experience. I highly recommend! ⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“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!“

“Atmosphere was light, friendly fine dining. The food was very good. I had the 10oz Striplion Steak with onions and mushrooms. Steak was cooked exactly as requested. The side were delicious. Only drawback were sauteed mushrooms were sparse and don't need to be cut so thin. My wife had the VEAL PICCATA in the wine lemon sauce, which was delicious!! The service was excellent, we will definitely be back!!!“

“Vivo Pizza & Pasta is a real hidden gem! The staff is always incredibly friendly and welcoming, making you feel right at home from the moment you walk in. The food is absolutely delicious—everything we’ve tried has been fresh, flavorful, and consistently excellent. My whole family loves coming here, and it’s become one of our favorite places to eat. Highly recommend Vivo Pizza & Pasta to anyone looking for great food and outstanding service!“

“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!“

“Sapore Zaffarano is truly a hidden gem! From the moment we walked in, Guido welcomed us with such genuine warmth and hospitality that we felt like family. His attention to every detail made our evening so special.

The food was absolutely incredible—fresh, authentic, and bursting with flavour. Every dish was beautifully prepared, and the service was impeccable from start to finish. The ambiance was elegant, cozy, and perfect for a romantic dinner, a celebration, or simply a wonderful night out.

Thank you, Guido, for making our experience so memorable. We will definitely be back and will continue recommending Sapore Zaffarano to everyone we know. If you’re looking for outstanding food, exceptional service, and an atmosphere that makes you feel at home, this is the place to be!“

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

“Absolutely fantastic food! My partner had the mushroom pasta and I had the swordfish special with the bruschetta to start.
Ive NEVER been so upset to finish a meal because something so frigging good had to come to an end. Ive never had sword fish but it was THE BEST FISH DISH IVE EVER HAD IN MY LIFE!
My partner enjoyed her pasta dish as well.
Staff are super friendly and the overall feel for the restaurant was great. The music playing was suited for the style and it was at a volume where you dont have to shout over not only the music but the other patrons of the restaurant. Next time we travel to Vaughn we will be coming back!“

“I absolutely love this place ! They have great food and generous portions. My favourite item is the meat balls. It’s a convenient place for lunch because of the hot counter but they also have a full menu you can order off of for dine in/ take out and they do catering.“

“Absolutely phenomenal gem of a restaurant.

My dad's accountant is in this complex, so I've been there with him twice recently. Had the veal parmesan sandwich the first time, and the cannelloni on the 2nd visit. Both were absolutely delicious.

Didn't bat an eye today when my dad requested angel hair pasta, which wasn't on the menu for the day. Exceptional service.

Highly recommended.“

“How has this place been around for 37 years and I am just finding out about it? Had a very tasty veal sandwich today and the owners are super sweet! Too bad they close at 3 as I won’t be able to frequent it as often as I would like. Limited hot table but if you’re down for Italian food, it’s all you need.“
