50 Best Italian Restaurants near Maple

“AMAZING FOOD AND EXPERIENCE!! Restaurant was very clean and beautiful atmosphere... reminded me of the many times my family would gather together for family reunions, at fancy restaurants, when I was a kid. The service was great.... food came to the table very fast. The flavor was devine...I haven't had food taste like that in years. I think every single bite I took was worth the price.

This experience was a 10/10 for me. I will be going back 100%.... can't believe I just discovered this place now. My goal is to have everything on the menu.

Great for small partys or family get togethers ❤️.... or if you have a special someone you want to impress 😉

Delicioso 🤌“

“First time attending Anna and Lucio’s with family and would HIGHLY recommend and will definitely be coming back!!! From the atmosphere to the service and food it was phenomenal. The photos are the Calamari to start, amazing not to salty, very flavourful. The special was straciatella with spinach and tortellini. Amazing soup and the portion was filling for an appetizer I was quite shocked. They also gave us 2 servings of bread (which many places do not do that). For the mains we had the mushroom risotto, very rich, flavourful and creamy perfect amount of seasoning. Not too watery like most places. The veal chop with a SIDE of penne alla vodka was mouthwatering and cooked to perfection. I wanted to try 2 different dishes so they accommodated for me to get 2 different pastas (shows in photo 4) for the price of one dish. The handmade gnocchi with meat sauce was amazing and full of flavour and my second choice was the penne alla vodka and I was very happy and satisfied with my choice. I have never been to a place where I could get 2 great portioned and flavourful dishes for the price of one!!! The veal Parmesan and penne à la vodka was to die for and was cooked perfectly not full of fat like some other places that I have been toO!! The tiramisu dessert was amazing along with the pistachio, lemon and tarrone was very light, yummy and sweet!! The service was amazing. The accommodations that we were able to make along with the portion size sizes is very rare to find and made the experience 100% better. I would for sure recommend doing a party or coming here for special occasions or just something casual!!!“

“Love this place my favourite!“

“This is hands down the best Pizza Pizza location I’ve ever been to and the credit goes to Hassan! The taste of the pizza here is on another level, thanks to the way Hassan makes it. You can tell he puts real care and passion into every order.

I actually drive 20 km from my home just to eat here, even though I have three Pizza Pizza locations within a 5 km radius of where I live. That says a lot. The difference in taste and quality is worth every kilometer.

Hassan truly makes this location stand out polite, professional, and always consistent. If you’re looking for top-quality pizza and great service, this is the place to go.“

“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“

“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!“

“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!“

“The vibe and atmosphere was very nice. Most of the food items were enjoyed, except for the pork loin. Pork loin was deep fried, it was so dry that it's hard to chew. Items that we have enjoyed include the grilled calamari, and the pasta.“

“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“

“I have been living in Canada for seven years, and during this time, we’ve tried over 100 restaurants. When it comes to service, Padella Italian Eatery truly stands out as the best. From the moment we walked in, we were treated with warmth and genuine hospitality. The food was absolutely delicious, and the service went far beyond our expectations.
We’ll definitely be returning!“

“Wow! A hidden gem I must say. Food and service were unmatched.

First we were greeted with bruschetta and a cheese/bread/olive platter. For apps we had the burrata and caesar salad — it was served directly on our plate… chefs kiss. Then for mains we had the surf & turf and paccheri gamberi — all I can say is WOW. Finally, for dessert we had crème brûlée and bread pudding.. a cherry on top to the meal.

Overall, we had an amazing dinner — great experience, definitely will be back!

Staff was amazing!“

“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.“

“Westend Grill – Always a Hit!

I’ve been coming to Westend Grill for a couple of years now, and it’s one of those places that never lets you down. The food here just hits the spot every single time.

The chicken wings are perfectly crisp on the outside and tender inside — and that honey garlic sauce? Absolute perfection. Sweet, sticky, and addictive in the best way possible. The steak pasta feels like pure comfort — creamy, rich, and packed with flavor in every bite. Then there’s the Angus beef burger, which is simply next-level — juicy, smoky, and built just right. And the chicken parmesan? It’s got that real homemade Italian feel — golden crust, melty cheese, and just the right tang in the sauce.

The place itself is spotless, the vibe is relaxed, and the team always makes you feel welcome — like you’re part of the regular crowd.

Westend Grill has mastered the balance of great food, clean atmosphere, and genuine hospitality.

One small request though — please bring back the Chicken Skewers Sauté! That dish was legendary and is truly missed.“

“We had an excellent experience at this restaurant. From the moment we arrived, the staff were welcoming, attentive, and professional. The atmosphere was stylish yet comfortable, creating the perfect setting for a relaxed evening. The food was exceptional—fresh, beautifully presented, and full of flavor. Each dish reflected careful preparation and quality ingredients. Our group enjoyed osso buco, risotto with mussels, and pasta stuffed with butternut squash, all cooked to perfection. Portions were generous without compromising quality. Service was prompt and knowledgeable. Our server offered excellent recommendations and maintained the perfect balance of attentiveness without being intrusive. Overall, it was a memorable dining experience from start to finish. We look forward to returning soon and highly recommend this restaurant to anyone seeking outstanding cuisine, exceptional service, and a welcoming atmosphere.“

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

“Excellent service (Reza), exceptional food, lovely atmosphere. Soho martini - amazing!“

“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. 👏“

“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!“

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

“We visited Ciao Ragazzi with friends last night and had the most wonderful experience! The atmosphere felt cozy and welcoming, and the service was attentive without being rushed - just perfect for a relaxed evening out.

The food was absolutely outstanding. We shared calamari, grilled octopus, burrata, and arancini - each dish was fresh, beautifully prepared, and full of flavor. The highlight for us was the freshly baked bread from their pizza oven… warm, fragrant, and honestly unforgettable! You can truly taste the love and authenticity in every bite.

If you’re looking for a place with great food, friendly vibes, and that true Italian feel - this is the spot. We’re already talking about when to go back! 🍷🍽️💛“

“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.“

“Food is always amazing!! The service is great, friendly it is like you are a part of the family with every visit! A MUST EXPERIENCE!!“

“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. 🍷🍷❤️“

“From the moment we first walked in, we felt truly welcomed. The staff treat you as if you are friends visiting their home — warm, attentive, and genuinely kind. The food is always delicious: you can rely on the classics but also discover new dishes every time. We first came here right after arriving in Toronto, and it gave us the rare feeling of being at home in such a big city. Since then, we return several times a month, and every visit has been a positive experience. The atmosphere is cozy, the service outstanding, and the hospitality remarkable. It honestly feels like visiting friends, not just going to a restaurant. A place we highly recommend — definitely worth a visit when in Toronto!“

“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! 👏👏“

“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!“

“Thank you, Chef Piotr Przykaza and your wife for phenomenal dinner and Tristian for an amazing service 😊🍷 Very highly recommend it 👍“

“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!“

“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“

“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!“

“blano pizza and gnocchi were delicious 😋“

“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!!“

“The food is terrific - unpretentious classics, obviously passed down through generations. Ask if Albert will be there when you make reservations; trust me, he makes the entire evening just that much better.“

“I love Remo's Place! This family owned and run restaurant always feeds me well. Great food, people and I always feel like part of the family. Friday night karaoke with One Love is a blast. Any naysayers can kick rocks. Rudy, Kelly, Julie, Steph, Al and Cindy are kind, warm hearted and fun. Thanks for being a neighbourhood staple and always making me feel welcome and my belly full :)“

“The food here is tasty and clearly made with care, with good presentation and fresh ingredients. The pasta and mains have nice flavor, and the atmosphere feels comfortable and welcoming. Service is pleasant, and everything comes out on time. Still, there’s room for improvement, a few dishes could use a bit more seasoning or refinement to really stand out. Overall, it’s a good spot with potential to be great with a little more attention to detail.“

“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!“

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

“Delicious food and wine , nice atmosphere 👍🏻“

“the italian food is absolutely delicious, the pasta was very fresh and full of flavor, and the veal sandwich was delicious, loaded with fresh cheese. our salad was also so simple but so good! guiseppe is so friendly and welcoming, and the restaurant was very clean.“

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

“Excellent food, great atmosphere and 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!“

“The food was incredible we got the fried calamari, Caesar salad, minestrone soup, Veal Piccata and the penne a la vodka. Went here on a Saturday, I used to work in the industry so I understand how busy it can be at 7pm on a weekend however, the staff seemed very unorganized and our server seemed very rushed with our table. The servers had no assigned sections or tales so they were taking tables as they pleased leaving our server overwhelmed, we had to inquire about the specials because he forgot to tell us, the manager was also scolding the employees out in the dinning room instead of in private. Overall the food was amazing and I would definitely recommend it however, the restaurant itself seemed unorganized and dysfunctional.“

“Excellent food and service .. beautiful. atmosphere“

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

“The food is really pretty good. A good spot for a business lunch for sure. The service could have been a bit better, but they may have been a bit understaffed. But we had a great time, enjoyed a good bottle of wine with our food, and were able to speak and listen to each other, which is a big plus. I would return happily.“
