“My husband and I went for our 11 year anniversary ! We had amazing food , service , and the atmosphere was truly amazing. ❤️🥂“

“Great food for a decent price. I had the bacon cheeseburger with a side of fries and a drink and honestly the burger was much more filling than I thought and the burger itself was great and I would highly recommend it, super cheesy and the beef was great. Fries were alright, might’ve been a little too crispy but they were still good and the gravy that came with it was also very nice. Also the people were nice, server was kind and patient with me and the place was nice to sit at. All in all great place would reccomend“

“Had a Italian Meat Panini....Pfft Forget about it.....Best sandwich I've had in years!!! Awesome...“

“Super nice service and very delicious food. The carbonara was a bit of a surprise for me, as I lived for a while in Italy, but never had a Carbonara with onions before,... but maybe it's a variaty of a specific Italian region 😅😎 which I haven't heard of 🤔 Overall : it's a five star experience with brilliant staff and atmosphere 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 👍🎉❤️“

“We had a wonderful Anniversary Dinner last night, and will ABSOLUTELY return! Thank you for you attention and for a FANTASTIC meal. Thanks again“

“I visited recently with my extended family for my aunt’s celebration of life. The staff were amazingly considerate to our needs. My son and I have a number of anaphylactic allergies, which we made the staff aware of in advance. The staff were so kind as to point out which items would be safe for my son, and which to steer clear of. I then asked if they might be able to make me a dish that was no longer on their menu, and they obliged. It was just as delicious, if not better than I had remembered! 10/10 service, and 10/10+ food! We’ll be back soon, my son is still talking about the delicious Mac and cheese!“

“The food is delicious, staff is friendly and welcoming! Definitely my go to for Italian food now! I highly recommend! The prices are so good too! They are very accommodating too where a lot of restaurants are not! I just can’t say enough on how amazing this place is!!!“

“Ordered the vegetarian pizza, chicken wings with honey garlic sauce, and deep fried shrimp. The owners/staff were absolutely amazing people and took care to provide incredible service to every customer. I didn’t even get any pictures because of how much we were enjoying the food 😅 The pizza was absolutely the star of the show, a must try! We will be returning <3“

“Best service at this location compared to other east Mario’s or any other restaurant had a slight issue with my meal but the owner /general manager was very fast to deal with it and offer a solution and top it off he took it off my bill definitely will come back“

“Zola's is hands down my FAVORITE restaurant and they nailed everything we ordered. Food was delicious, our server was personable and friendly. As always, the dining room was stunning! I love that the artwork is made up of featured artists so the decor is different every time we come. A++++ HIGHLY recommend for any occasion! They also had a market at the front of the house so you can take home meals and treats as well as pantry items. Lots of delicious Gluten free options 👍“

“One of the best meals I’ve ever had from East Side Mario’s!!
Fresh, tasty, and well made.
I know it’s a chain restaurant which is usually not my thing, but we gave it a shot.
Place was very busy.
They have new items on a menu, partner got a spicy chicken and pasta dish, really enjoyed it.
( I’m lactose intolerant and everything on the new menu was covered in cheese)
Big portions also.“

“Sandwich was amazing! Glad I will be working near this location for the next few weeks! I know what I'm having everyday for lunch! 😊“

“Highly recommend this place.The original authentic taste of food.“

“Fantastic First Visit – We’ll Be Back! We had a great first experience at this lovely Italian restaurant. The atmosphere was classy yet comfortable, and the food was excellent. We shared a tasty calamari appetizer, I had a huge gourmet personal pizza, and my husband enjoyed the shrimp linguine—everything was delicious. Despite a busy restaurant and patio, the two servers handled it all with speed and care. Service was attentive, and the prices were very reasonable for the generous portions. We’ll definitely be returning!“

“I absolutely recommend Dalmoro’s Fresh Pasta To Go.. the freshest pasta that one can ever find in Toronto. their pesto is my all time favourite. Their housemade classic Tiramisu and Nutella Tiramisu deserves a special mention !!!“

“you have to try the prosciutto mushroom pasta.... omg... it is deliiiiicius !!! creamy... perfect! everybody loved their meals... Hidden gem in west Ottawa. Friendly service as well.“

“The cannolis dessert is so good except too little strawberries n berries. A little bit more will be perfect. The main courses so delicious! The chefs should be at Casino Lac Leamy.They lack Michelin star chefs at Lac Leamy. Cheers to the chefs at Caffe Italiano.👍👍👍“

“Really good food and great service. . . ill be going back there whenever im in town..“

“Friendly staff and great selection at fair prices. Everything we tried was delicious - would 100% recommend and go back again. My only wish would be to one day have a delivery option 😉 but that won’t stop us.“

“ordered pizzas for a party - they came exactly as scheduled...extra appreciation, however, goes to Allison? who realized that two identical orders came in and she took the time to phone me to verify if this was correct (which is was not - a computer glitch)....now THAT is great service!! Will use again!“

“We've had great experiences at The Hog's Back Grill & Bistro this season! Everyone enjoyed their perfectly grilled hot dog with crispy and hot fries. The service was efficient and friendly. It's lovely to enjoy the sound of falls while having a fun treat on a summer day. We'll be back again and thank you!“

“Good food and nice atmosphere. This restaurant is one of our first choices for dining out. Thank you Maddi for your excellent service.“

“Gabriel’s Pizza has become a second home for me — not just a restaurant.
I’m here often for breakfast, lunch, and everything in between, and the experience is consistently exceptional. Tony and the entire team go above and beyond to make everyone feel welcome. They treat their regulars like family and new customers like old friends.

The food is always excellent — fresh, well-prepared, and served with care. But what really stands out is the consistency: every visit feels genuine. Whether it’s a quick bite or a longer stay, the service never wavers, and the atmosphere is always inviting.

Gabriel’s is proof that when people care about what they do, it shows. Highly recommend. 🍕 🍳“

“Was heading downtown to the Colonnade but the traffic was backed up at Woodroffe Avenue so decided to try the Carling location. Ended up being a very good decision. Italian salad and pizza as good, if not better, than downtown. Our server, Roman, was excellent. He provided great service and you can tell he enjoys what he does, many thanks. No more trips downtown!“

“Great Food, Great Price, Great Service“

“Spent 15 minutes trying to reset my password and creating an account. Can’t reset my password and my phone number is tied to an account. Called 8 minutes ago to order 2 medium pizzas. I was told I could not get the special and pay for extra toppings. I gave up an ordered from somewhere else. Like c’mom. Gave you 4 stars because I didn’t want to mess up your rating but perhaps this can help you sort out what seems to me like issues that could make the experience better.“

“Huge thank you to Carling location Dominos Pizza for their generosity to us Queensway Carleton Hospital nurses on med/surg. We ordered today and was told that it was on the house! THEN was given a free lunch voucher because, and I quote, “we want to keep supporting front line staff and let you guys know how much we appreciate you”. SO KIND ♥️ thank you so so so much!“

“I stopped and took a small Greek pizza. Got it home and it was terrific. The crust and all toppings done perfect. Well done ?“

“My mother and I ordered 2 kinds of pizza today. The pizza was fantastic. The taste of the pizza crust was amazing 😋 and well prepared. The toppings on the pizza were very well placed. There was no shortage of toppings on these pizzas, especially cheese.

After we ate a couple of slices, I went back inside and thanked the pizza chef.

I give praise to the Pizza cooks and staff at Pizza Hut on Merivale Road.
Very well done. Thank you for a great lunch. We will be back!“

“Thank you so much to the Pizza Hut team!
You made my pizza with so much love, and I truly appreciate it. The food was delicious, and I was so touched to see that you added two extra pieces of chicken wings — it really made my day.

The driver was also so polite and kind. I’m sorry I couldn’t leave a bigger tip — all I had was $23 and some change, but I was really hungry, and your kindness meant the world to me. Thank you for going above and beyond when you didn’t have to.

Wishing your whole team a day filled with love and happiness. God bless you all. 💖

“We've been loyal Pizza Pizza customers for a long time, especially at the Bank and Hunt Club location, and they consistently deliver! The pizza quality is always top-notch. This time, we ordered for both our immediate and extended family, and everyone absolutely loved it.

What makes Pizza Pizza even better are their ongoing special deals, which make their delicious pizza incredibly affordable. Plus, their rewards program is excellent, adding even more value. It's why we keep coming back!“

Everything was perfectly made and full of flavor. Definitely one of the best pizza spots I’ve tried!“
