“I hosted a surprise birthday dinner for my boyfriend in the private room, and it was an unforgettable experience! The restaurant itself is beautiful inside, creating the perfect atmosphere for a celebration. The staff went above and beyond, helping with decorations and keeping the surprise a secret. Our server, Rami, was fantastic—so funny and attentive, providing top-notch service all night.

A special shout-out to the manager, Temo, who has been amazing every time I’ve visited. He made a real effort to check in with all our guests, ensuring everything was perfect.

From the hostess to the entire team, the service was exceptional. The food was absolutely delicious, and everyone loved it! I highly recommend this place for any event or dinner. With great service, amazing food, and a team that truly cares, it’s hands down one of the best restaurant experiences I’ve had. I’ll definitely be back!“

Parking: Loads of parking available. Also TTC accessible.“

“What an amazing experience we had for our anniversary at this Gastropub. Unassuming from the outside but the food and service were exceptional.

We started with some fancy cocktails that had the perfect touch of class and theatrics. The lobster roll was stacked perfectly and the Frito Misto had a light batter that was one of the best we’ve had. I will not hesitate to order both again on my next visit. Our main pasta dishes were delicious and did not disappoint either as we had the Rigatoni Carbonara and the Ravioli Porcini and Tartufo. We ended with the Chocolate Lava Cake and the Chefs Famous Bread Pudding that were the perfect end to our meal.

Overall we had an amazing time and we’ll definitely be back. The table side service for the appetizers and desserts were a nice touch with the food being plated for you.“

“I have recently been dealing with some health issues that have greatly restricted my diet. Thank you to the staff at La Vecchia for accommodating my requirements and making my dining experience so enjoyable.“

“Take out Gluten Free Pizza - taste amazing, the sauce and cheese is perfect - fresh basil and the crust is absolutely beautiful! You can tell care is taken with quality ingredients. As someone with a food allergy it's had to find this kind of great tasting quality food in a pizza. Well done Ciao!“

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

“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!“

“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 atmosphere and the food were pretty good. The server was actually the best. He was funny, courteous and professional. The bill was a bit high given that we only ordered appetizers and drinks but hey, that is the going rate right now. I felt that they were so rude at the beginning because we waited at the door for few minutes without anyone greeting us, every waiter and bar tender smiled but that was it. However our waiter was so friendly and nice.“

“This place is such a hidden gem, truly. Look at the [expensive] prices as a means to pay for the freshest and most quality ingredients, the delectable flavours, and the unwaveringly attentive service. If I could eat this every night I would; we live in the neighbourhood and Gio has become a highlight to see and chat with. His team seems small but mighty and his food is nothing short of impressive. It is the closest we have found to authentic after travelling through parts of Italy a while back. Bravo to this whole team and Gio for his ultimate charisma and dining experience!“

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

“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!!“

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

“Absolutely loved the food and the experience! The wings were perfectly grilled, juicy, and flavorful clearly made with care and expertise. The dipping sauce complemented the wings beautifully, adding a creamy and tangy touch. Definitely a place worth revisiting for both the food and the warm hospitality!“

“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“

“The food is super delicious from the antipasto to dessert. The servers treat you like their own family.“

“Me and my mom stumbled across this restaurant randomly and decided to check it out. It’s such a warm atmosphere that makes you feel like home. The staff was so kind and attentive. He explained all the specials in such detail as well as translated the menu for us. The food was delicious, the spices and aroma filled the room and the portions were so generous. We will honestly be back to try some more 10/10! Thanks for an amazing evening <3“

“I wish I could give this establishment more stars! My son & I came in for takeout, on our way out of town. The hostess/ waitress greeted us, gave us menus, assisted me in choosing my pizza, allowed us to sit inside & wait, served us water while we waited & slipped 2 tiramisu into our takeout bag! Amazing service & the food was so awesome as well. Thank you so much!“

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

“The food was amazing. Our server Veronica was so nice. She knew her stuff and made our experience both enjoyable and worth it. We would definitely go back

Wheelchair accessibility: The restaurant is completely accessible. The staff was amazing! They made sure that the table was good for me and accessible. I truly appreciated the length they went to in assisting me“

“The service, and the ambiance of the restaurant and the quality and presentation of the food is second to none. I would gladly recommend this establishment. However, I have one issue. I was there this past Saturday and my husband had the risotto with truffles. When he was served the risotto, the chef came and grated fresh truffles onto my plate. He asked my husband to tell him when to stop. When he was finished he left a paper on the table for the waiter that said 9 grams. He was not aware that he would be paying per gram of truffle. He was expecting to pay the price stated on the menu. Instead at the end of our meal we were charged an insane amount of $216.00 for a plate of risotto. He felt cheated. In other fine-dining restaurants, where he ordered similar dishes with truffles, it was all included in the price. I know that white truffles are expensive , but wished that we were made aware that we would be paying per weight of truffles.

We paid the bill and didn't complain to the waiter because they followed the process.. My suggestion to the owner is that they include, for example, 3 pieces of grated truffle with the price of the risotto and if the customer wants more, they should be made aware that it would be extra. Like this there would be no misunderstanding, surprises or ill-feelings.

Other than that, the food was very good. Compliments to the chef and the staff.“

“Actually incredible pizza. Life changing, for me at least. Food is subjective, of course, but it is my favorite pizza ever! Every time I eat pizza from here, it is a fun and worthwhile experience.

Also get the Dolce pizza, truly a crowd pleaser.“

“We were 3 ladies out for lunch. Person 1 celiac and gluten free, Person 2 chromes & colitis and Person 3 diverticulitis. The server was amazing . We advised her of of dietary needs and she offer ed suggestions. They served a board of gluten free foccaci & olives to start.it was tasty. Person one had grilled chicken on a bed of polenta. Person 2 had gf pasta & chicken and Person 3 had gnocchi with red sauce. We were so pleased we all found something to enjoy off the menu. It was also one of the only restaurants open on a Monday in the area. Thank you for contributing to a successful ladies lunch. We will return again.“

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

“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!!“

“Excellent food and service. Thank you for a wonderful intimate dinner experience. It was our first time at this lovely hidden gem in our little town of Bradford. Will definitely be returning. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Highly recommend.“

“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. 🍷🍷❤️“

“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!“

“Great little mum and pops restaurant that opens early and serves a great breakfast. Happened to be getting my vehicle repaired and stumbled upon this place by accident. I'm happy I stopped by. Menu is simple, coffee is good and the service is fantastic. Definitely recommend y'all to swing by if you're in the area. They also serve lunch!“

“Had dinner with friends July 1st, 2023…not disappointed👍👍 Great Food, Drinks, and Service!! 5 star and reasonable! Large portions!!“

“Here’s a review you could consider:

"Gina at Capri Bakery is absolutely amazing! She’s friendly, attentive, and really goes above and beyond to make sure every customer has a great experience. She knows the menu inside and out and always has the best recommendations, whether you’re craving something sweet or savory. Gina’s warmth and enthusiasm bring such a positive vibe to the bakery – it’s clear she cares deeply about her customers and loves what she does. The bakery wouldn’t be the same without her!"“

“Stopped in here after visiting Costco. Small quaint place, with friendly staff.
Food was amazing! We had the meatball and veal sandwiches, and spaghetti with tomato sauce and it did not disappoint.
Would definitely recommend if your looking for an Italian dinner that won't gouge you price wise!“
