“The food was great!!! Service was great at 1st and our server was really good just she had too many tables. We had long gaps between service. She was super friendly just too busy. The music was also very loud. Wasn't expecting it to carry over into the main dining haul, bar side I completely understand.“

“We held our daughter's wedding dinner at Paradiso's Oakville location. From the planning stages to the end of the event, the entire experience was exceptional. l was the first to arrive to set-up the event. l was greeted and introduced to staff who would be hosting and offered help as soon as l entered. The help was very much appreciated because l had much to do with less than an hour to do it in. Besides helping, the staff cheered me on because it was obvious how harried l was. We had some requests that we didn't speak about during the planning stages and each and every request was accommodated. The flexibility and efforts of the staff to ensure our wishes were granted are very much appreciated. Glasses were re-filled and plates were cleared promptly. The dinner choices were many and the food was delicious! l 100% recommend hosting at Paradiso Oakville and hope to have the pleasure of returning many times. A heart-felt thank you. You are wonderful!“

“Barb and Chrissie are wonderful! They are the reason we keep coming back! They are the heart of the Olive Press!“

“High quality food, service and great atmosphere“

“My wife and I had lunch at Ritornos last Friday (Jan 13, 2022) which happened to be our first time at this place and must I say the food and service is par excellence. Lisa was very attentive listening to our dietary needs being vegetarians and and ended up making the right suggestions for us. Dave the person at the bar and supervisor created a wonderful and very tantalizing cocktail which we called "Strombolini" . A mixture he said had all sorts of great fruit juices cinamon and herbs a must for anyone wanting a palatizing drink before dinner. Great place folks !!! Drawain and Nalini“

“Excellent food and Service definitely will comeback 👌 👍 😋“

“Went this past Saturday for dinner with my girlfriend. The food was outstanding, we had the chef special which was spaghetti with a creamy truffle mushroom sauce with grilled shrimp and scallop. By far that was the best tasting dinner we both had in a while. The chef came out to ask if we are enjoying the meal, was very friendly. As was the rest of the staff. Beautiful restaurant with a really nice atmosphere. Definitely will be coming back :)“

“I finally got a chance to pop into Mercato and I was blown away with how amazing the food was. I tried the veggie sandwich and a slice of red pepper onion pizza and omg this is the best pizza in downtown Oakville. Maybe the best pizza EVER. Grabbed a cannoli on my way out that was also so fresh and delicious. I will definitely be back!“

“Delicious italian food! Great atmosphere, friendly and helpful waiters, tasty food, happy people!“

“Nice place to enjoy with the family 👌🏼👌🏼“

“Great ceasar salade with real bacon. The pizza is hand made like my nona ussd to make!“

“Went to Borgo for lunch with my husband and two children on Saturday and let me tell you, it was absolutely fantastic! I had the Parpadelle Funghi and it was soooo good I probably could of eaten more! The freshest and lightest tasting pasta. We had polpette and rice balls to start. So fresh and delicious. My husband and children had pasta with red sauce and they said it was also fresh and delicious. I could tell they loved it due to the dipping in the sauce with the bread! The staff was very friendly and helpful and asked numerous times if we needed anything. We will absolutely be back and will definitely recommend this fine dining restaurant. Can’t wait to go back.“

“I went for an early dinner with family, and it was unanimous, 'Goodfellas' is a hit! We had some pizza, calamari and a tiramisu. It was absolutely delicious. Traditional Italian style food. A nice cozy decor and ambiance. It's pricey, but the quality of the food makes it worth it. It's outside of Oakville Place Mall, which is a relatively quiet mall. So, it's a low traffic area, with easy parking access. Definitely recommend this place to everyone.

Vegetarian options: Plenty of veggie options.

Dietary restrictions: Gluten free is available.

Parking: Outside of Oakville Place Mall, so there's plenty of parking.“

A special thanks to Yasmin for her outstanding service! She was friendly, attentive, and made sure everything was perfect“

“Pizza and pasta were delicious! Service on calling was quick and friendly and exactly the same on pickup :)“

“Lovely place to grab authentic Italian pizza! We had the caprese salad and margherita pizza and were licking the plates! Delicious beer and wine as well. The owners and staff are amazing and very sweet. Very family friendly as well. Will definitely will be going back for more! We give 4 Stelle 5 stelle! 🙌🏼“

“First time in this location and the food and service was excellent Have been many times to the one in Toronto in avenue rd and never been disappointed“

“One the best pizzas I’ve ever had. Their quality is really fantastic.“

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

“Picked up some Spaghetti and Meatballs for my kid and his buddy earlier today. Service was great and the description was legit that this place is home style. 15 bones for sgetti and meatballs was ok considering there was a good meat to noodle/sauce ratio. My kid is fussy so I wasn’t sure how this would go over but he loved it. Him and his bro rated it at 4.5 stars. I would have given this a perfect score on atmosphere but parking at the strip mall was so so and egress was little dicey. Had to squeal the tires to avoid getting T boned.“

“We recently ordered from them for our school graduation ceremony and the service was outstanding! The food was fresh, appetizing and exactly as ordered. They exceeded our expectations. Will be a repeat customer for sure, well done!! We ordered from Giselle at the Bovaird and Torbram location and she was an absolute sweetheart to deal with and went above and beyond!“

“Great pizza, great wings, but only had one guy working. I lost 18 pounds waiting for my pizza. Franchise owners don’t be cheap higher, a second pair of hands, not just a delivery driver who has his hands in his pockets while looking at customers walking in the door“

“I was fortunate to be able to try holy pizza oakville at a Retro Metro drive in. I was amazed of all the different kinds of pizzas they have to offer. But I was drooling over their pizza. I couldn’t get enough!! The best part was these young men delivered our pizza right to the car! I cannot wait to try their pizza again when I’m in town :)“

“Compliments and 5 stars goes to the chef for making my Vegan pizza (dairy free cheese, roasted red peppers, mushrooms and spinach) tonight with fresh ingredients and care.
0 stars for the owner who collects tips via debit/credit machine and keeps it for himself.
Please give tips in cash to support our pizza chef.
P.S. After reading the response from the owner I feel very upset with all the ignorance.
Mr. Owner.. you better not cut any hours from your employees becauce they speak up and stop pocketing their tips or I'll report you to proper channels.“

“We like the pizza only if it's made to perfect. We like the extra cheese with regular crust not too thick or thin. And we love the option of cheese filled crust. We'd like to choose from their deals. And sometimes they burn the bottom crust which we don't prefer. Overall is good, price with the deals is reasonable.“

“Pizza Pizza has become my go-to spot for a late-night snack—they’re open until almost 3 AM, which is perfect for night owls. The team that runs this location is amazing. I don’t know their names, but there’s one gentleman in particular who always goes the extra mile, making sure we get a freshly baked, perfectly buttered half-moon pizza every time. It’s seriously the best.

I first got hooked when they started offering their Tabasco seasoning—game changer. Since I live in the neighborhood, it’s tough to resist stopping by (though I’m trying to cut back for health reasons!). Still, it’s one of those local gems that’s hard to stay away from.“

“I recently visited this location and had such a great experience. The food was fresh,flavorful, and served hot. The crust was perfectly baked,toppings were generous,and everything tasted amazing.
What i really loved was the service. The staff was welcoming,polite and made sure my order was exactly right. The place was clean and had a comfortable vibe,which made my whole experience even better. From now this location is definitely my go to spot now.“

“Excellent food,5 star service.“

“Wow! So many options and ALL plant based!!! I had Strawberry Coconut and Belgium Chocolate (because I couldn’t decide). They both were amazing! The flavours were so smooth and rich. I can’t wait to go back and try more flavours!“
