“Love this place. Always busy and amazing food. Especially enjoy and prefer sitting in the busy, cramped main area than the back solarium part of the restaurant. We shared all our dishes. Amazing pizza. We had the tre porcellini $24. With Italian sausage, soppressata, pancetta, mozzarella, rossa sauce. The best calamari fritti $21 we have ever had. Super fresh and crispy and ordered the marinara and garlic aioli dips. A must have! Also had the Caesar salad $10. Omg could have licked my plate clean. As well as the vodka rigatoni $24. Absolutely fantastic. We never leave disappointed. Great food and service.“

“lovely restaurant, delicious food“

“The Paint Master team came in for lunch and had an amazing time. We had the most delicious veal sandwich we have ever tasted! If you’re in the neighbourhood, stopping here is a must!“

“Great ambience, amazing and tasty dishes, very well plated as well. Considering the fact that the restaurant was at full capacity, the food did not take long to come but it took a long time for the server to come over. Not their fault though, they looked under staffed. I wish they had one or two more staff taking care of seating and ordering.“

“Our recent family gathering at La Scala for a little girl's birthday was made exceptional by the fantastic food and the outstanding service provided by Angel. Angel's warm and attentive approach, coupled with her menu expertise, ensured a seamless and enjoyable dining experience for our entire party. The food at La Scala was simply exquisite, and Angel's recommendations showcased her passion for the cuisine. Her ability to strike the perfect balance between professionalism and friendliness added an extra layer of joy to our celebration. In the midst of a bustling restaurant, Angel's dedication to service truly stood out. La Scala is fortunate to have such a personable and skilled waitress on their team. If you're looking for a memorable dining experience where service is as outstanding as the food, I highly recommend Angel at La Scala. Thanks again, Angel, for making our family celebration truly special.“

“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 !!!“

“Was in town to pick up parts. Heading back home and saw this truck. OMG, we had the chicken panini and we both loved it. Next time we're in town we will definitely stop by to try something else on the menu. Maybe franchise it and open one in Ottawa! Just sayin' ?“

“Absolutely loved everything about this place! From the moment we walked in, we were impressed with how beautifully it’s decorated — it has such a great vibe and cozy atmosphere.
Our waitress was super friendly, helpful, polite, and very professional. She made the whole experience even better.
We had pizza and it was amazing — perfectly cooked, fresh, and full of flavor. You can really taste the quality.
We’re definitely coming back, especially to try the calamari — we’ve heard very good things about it and can’t wait to see for ourselves. Highly recommend!“

“Thank you everytime I ordered never disappointed“

“One of the best chicken risotto i've ever had. Homemade, fresh, and made with love. Stephano (the owner) seems to be a stand-up guy. Great Pandemic service and i expect regular service to be even better! Highly recommend.“

“Mama Rosa is one of those rare spots where the food does all the talking—and it speaks loudly. The dishes are genuinely delicious, and the portions are impressively generous. You can tell the kitchen takes pride in what they serve, because every plate feels hearty, comforting, and made with care.
The space itself isn’t the most polished or modern, and at first glance it might not stand out compared to trendier restaurants in the area. But honestly, the quality of the food more than makes up for the modest ambience. Once the meal arrives, you stop noticing the décor altogether.
If you’re looking for great flavour, big portions, and a place that focuses on substance over style, Mama Rosa delivers exactly that. It’s the kind of spot you return to because the food hits the mark every single time.“

“Mario's catering menu is pretty vast and food quality is great. I have order their catering service since 2017. He has look after some of our family and friends events. Mario has accommodated menus from 10 ppl to 50 +ppl and consistency has always been there. Also, all his staff have always been friendly and respectful.“

“I order the veal sandwich and ask them to make it however they want it. They did it with onions and cheese and oh my God it was the best veal sandwich I have had in Mississauga so far. Service was quick even though they were Very busy Will definitely be coming back“

“First time dining here ! Exceptional service food was wonderful. Large portions. Friendly service. We will be back. Fully recommend Rogues ❤️🍷🍷“

“The best pizza! A pillar in Meadowvale. Those who know know!“

“We had a wonderful experience at Red Spoon Banquet Hall. Nadia was incredibly kind, welcoming, and accommodating throughout the entire process. She made everything so easy and was always happy to help with anything we needed.

The hall was clean, beautiful, and perfect for our event. Nadia truly went above and beyond, and her warm personality made a big difference. Easily the nicest host I've ever worked with.

Highly recommend Red Spoon Banquet Hall for any special occasion! Thank you, Nadia, for helping make our event so memorable. 😊“

“Awesome seafood risotto! Great service!“

“This location stands out for how clean it is, their coffee and the chewy chocolate chip cookies are so good. Mimoza and the team have taken this store to a whole new level and you can tell they genuinely care about what they do here. Love the vibes!“

“Once you’re inside, there’s inmediately a friendly atmosphere from the staff at the counter. It gets better when you’re seated at your table because the servers create an even better customer experience, making you feel at home. Aside from the great food they serve, this experience matters most for me to come back and recommend. Highly recommended!“

“I was impressed with an employee named THULASI in Fresh Market Restaurants in Square One. Outright , she approached us to get our orders and when she found out my brother's bday (from USA) that day, she led us to the tables, got a group to sing him Happy Birthday with some other employees and a FREE BIRTHDAY CAKE WITH CANDLE to my Brother's delight. God bless you and I was so thankful to GOD for Ms THULASI. I pray she gets the REWARD she deserves for her excellent service towards us, in Jesus Name! God bless FMRestaurants esp. Ms. THULASI for excellent service! This company needs more like you as an ASSET to the company: perfect customer service and very encouraging & inspiring!“

“We hosted my sister's baby shower here and all I have to say is AMAZING. You will be in the best hands if you choose to host your event here. Fiorina is incredible. A true gift to the hospitality industry and such a pleasure to work with when planning all the details. We couldn't have asked for better communication. The food was perfection. All of our guests raved about the food and how authentic and delicious it was. The serving sizes were fantastic and no one left hungry... In fact, many took home food! (Which was an appreciated touch) Sue helped with serving the event and she was stellar and the owner himself was right in the front lines mingling with my guests, sharing his stories and working his butt off. He truly cares about his business and his customers. We can't say enough about how wonderful our day was and whole heartedly recommend Il Porcellinos for your next event or meal out. Thank you so much.“

“Pizza Pizza never disappoints! The food is always fresh, hot, and delicious
especially the classic pepperoni and those signature garlic dipping sauces. What really stood out this time was the service: the staff were friendly, efficient, and genuinely seemed to care about the customer experience. My order was ready quickly and exactly as requested.

Whether it’s a quick bite or a late-night craving, Pizza Pizza always delivers quality and consistency. Highly recommend for anyone looking for great food and top-notch service!“

“Lester is amazing! I always come in and order the walk in large cheese special, he greets me with a smile and makes me feel welcome in the store. If you're in the area I would definitely recommend coming by Panago and ordering a take out pizza for yourself.“

“LOVE the delicious lasagna, veal and chicken parmigiana. The cannolis and Zeppole were so YUMMY 😋“

“I celebrated my birthday with family at the Clarkeson Mediterranean Bistro. We booked the party room. The service was excellent as was the food. I highly recommend this restaurant. My celebration was everything I wanted it to be. Thank you…especially to Laura👍🏻👏🏻“

“I've been going here for a few years. Have not been disappointed once. My go to is the chicken limone. It's served with veg and your choice of pasta. I go for the spaghetti aioli. I always have enough for two meals and the spaghetti is amazing fried the next day!!
The ladies (seen and unseen, Nonna) have great attitudes and are always welcoming! Had a cookie bonus a while ago, so nice!! Just go, you'll love it too!✌️💃“

“Omgggggggggg best pizza omg. Im a true pizza connoisseur and this is how real Italian pizza should taste. Its even better when you have an Italian owner cooking it for you ❤️❤️❤️ I just moved to the area and was on the hunt for real authentic Italian pizza and this is the SPOT 🥹❤️❤️❤️❤️ thank youuuuuuuuuuuuuu from my entire family“

“I payed $16 for 10 wings and only got 9… and it was already expensive… and the workers were quite rude as well. I respect them working late but they should try to be nice. I want a refund for what’s missing

EDIT: they compensated me through email, I changed my rating for the good customer service to 4 stars :)“

“I had an amazing experience at Pizza Hut, all thanks to Arshdeep! She was incredibly friendly, professional, and made sure everything was perfect from start to finish. Her warm smile and positive attitude made the visit extra special. You don’t often come across staff who genuinely care about your experience—Arshdeep is definitely one of them. Keep shining and delivering that top-notch service!“

“Ordered pizza online and paid in advance by credit card. Tried to do another order for additional items but website would not accept any of the 5 different payment methods I tried.

I arrived at the store at the correct time, and saw my order ready to pick up. But the staff member had to take 7+ minutes to receive an order on the phone. By the time he took the phone order there were 10+ customers waiting to pick up orders. Eventually took 15+ minutes to pick up an order.
The staff member charged me the incorrect amount because part of my order was already paid online. But, with the large unruly crowd I did not want to delay further.

To make matters worse, the personal pizzas we recieved were badly irregular in shape, looking more like lopsided squares with uneven toppings and crusts.

EDIT: I have been back several times since the disastrous incident. Food quality is better and more consistent and they are more organized. Wings pretty good. Fries not good. Personal pizzas great online deal on Tuesdays“

“LOVE the delicious lasagna, veal and chicken parmigiana. The cannolis and Zeppole were so YUMMY 😋“

“Great customer service.“

“Amazing Sunday meal just like Nona used to make. The rose sauce is to die for. The veal was melt in your mouth and we started with a light panzaroti which was perfect to share. Pomodoro should have been packed filling up families with their delicious Italian food! Go once and you will be hooked! I promise….“

“First time at this location I noticed the guy after handling POS he's washing hand frequently after my meal i asked his name he introduced his self parth and he cooked my pizza it was so delicious and perfectly made
Highly recommend if you are nearby erindale station intersection“

“Whoever worked the shift on Saturday going into Sunday morning (March 29th) at 12am, did an excellent job at making our pan pizzas— the crust was soooooo fragrant, golden, buttery, and crispy– and it was still nice and hot after being delivered by the driver.“

“Most delicious cakes, dessert and freshly made Italian food in the area 😋 the service is top-notch 5/5 😍“
