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!“

“Hassan at Pizza Puzzza made my experience absolutely amazing! Not only was the pizza incredible, but his personality and customer service were next level. Super friendly, funny, and genuinely made the whole visit memorable. I honestly recommend dining in just so you can have a conversation with him. Best “doctor” in the world cured my pizza cravings instantly with an amazing conversation. Great atmosphere, great vibes, and even better food :). Will come again.“

From the very beginning, the staff was amazing and helped organize every detail with so much care and attention. The food was outstanding, from the appetizers, to the pasta, to the entrées, everything was incredibly delicious and high quality.

Julian was our event manager for the evening and I truly cannot say enough good things about him. He provided some of the best service we have ever experienced. Thank you to the entire team for your amazing food, hospitality, attention to detail, and for helping make our wedding celebration so memorable.“

“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!“

“We had an amazing experience here, the service, atmosphere and the food is authentic and delicious. Appetizers were tasty, a mix of bread, cheese and bruchetas. We tried the steak, lamb chops, Miso Cod all were great and highly recommended. Ended the night with yummy deserts, Creme Brule was my favourite!“

“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“

“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!“

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

“Popped into padella for a quick bite this week... wound up sharing a few things. They had a grilled asparagus and burrata appetizer that was to die for.... shared a pizza and a pasta...I really like my food spicy but my cousin doesn't so I asked if they had any chili oil or flakes... they brought me a homemade chili oil that was perfect for a pizza.. the pizza was fantastic... the dough was very thin which I love but still managed to have a nice breadyness to it. The pasta was so good we're still drooling about it. Don't forget the homemade lava cake for dessert....I think the best dessert I've ever had. The owner makes all the desserts and pizza dough and foccaccia fresh every day and you can really taste the love in it. Totally recommend this place. 12 out of 10“

“Fast pizza with delicious crust. And a really nice staff member named Kashmir. I have lunch for 3 days this week - the pizza I chose is the Danforth (Greek). You gotta eat here!“

“Always been my go to spot! Food is always incredible. Service can be slow depends on the server you get. Some areas of this restaurant are incredible loud: especially downstairs; you need to look into some acoustic paneling or something to help with the noise: music levels are also so low that it doesn’t drown out anything and all you hear is talking.“

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

“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. 👏“

“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!“

“Incredible in every way from our welcome from Nick and Sabrina !!! Omg food was magnificent every bite delicious!!! Cristian and Jaz what a team making our food amazing and special. It was a magical fun night and unforgettable ❤️🍷Ciao Ragazzi is in our circle of love❤️❤️❤️for many special occasions 🍷🍷🍷🍷Grazie grazie grazie♥️“

“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 😍😍“

“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 Antonio!“

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.“

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

“This place has a good vibe to it, the food was good I've had better at more affordable restaurants in that region. The service wasn't bad had to wait a bit for our orders, great atmosphere I'd go back though, It was crazy busy maybe that had to do something with the service being so slow.“

“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’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!!“

“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“

“The team (Cecil, Mica & kitchen staff) at Westend Grill House made a very special day so memorable with their warm and cheerful spirits and exceptional service. From booking the reservation to dinner, Mica was very professional, kind and attentive. The food (wings, veggie rolls, calamari, pineapple & cranberry, pesto pasta, steak pho, strip loin steak, desserts) were all so delicious and the food came out QUICKLY and was so fresh. I 100% will go back - we were treated like family and truly enjoyed our time. Thank you Cecile and Mica! God richly bless your business 🙏🏿“

“The Italian breakfast is UNREAL !! I just came back from Italy and was craving authentic Italian food. This place is it! Joe, thank you for your amazing service and for cooking me one of the best breakfasts I've ever had in my entire life“

“I’ve been a regular here for about 30 years. Family, food experience and high school cafeteria gallerie where all your friends meet for lunch and enjoy the company“

“If you’re craving authentic Italian food, **Remo’s Place** is the only place to go. This incredible family-owned restaurant delivers an experience that keeps you coming back again and again.

The star of the show? Nonna’s homemade gnocchi — the lightest, most delicate, melt-in-your-mouth gnocchi you will ever taste. Every bite is pure perfection, made with love and tradition.

The service is fabulous, warm, and welcoming, and the food is consistently amazing. It’s my absolute go-to for Italian cuisine.

Highly, highly recommended. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“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!

We left with our tummies full, a bounce in our steps and our hearts happy having such a wonderful dinning experience. I highly recommend! ⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“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 has such a beautiful atmosphere elegant, modern, and perfect for a nice dinner or special night out. The food was amazing from start to finish, with every dish tasting fresh, flavourful, and thoughtfully prepared. You can really tell they care about quality and presentation.“

“blano pizza and gnocchi were delicious 😋“

“Was a bit weary about this place as it is in a hotel and most Marriott hotels don’t even have decent food.

This was probably the best Italian food we have had in the area…. A lot to say bordering Woodbridge.

The food was absolutely delicious and the dessert even better. Would have liked a bread basket to start but all in all very good authentic food“
