16 Best Italian Restaurants in Oshawa

“It’s amazing food that comes in big portions for such a great price! Instantly found myself craving for more the next day“

“The manager (brown lady) at this location was amazing and ensured our visit was smooth and enjoyable. It's nice to see diverse leaders who present themselves in such a professional and pleasant manner. Best experience I have had at any East side marios by far! Thank you“

“As usual the food is always fantastic! The only negatives were booking online, which really didn't do anything for wait times. It was pretty much whoever showed up first was helped first. Online booking didn't do anything. Also they seemed short staffed. Looking around there were plenty of open tables, some which needed to be cleaned and stayed that way for quite a while. Some of the waiting customers lost their patience and left. Another good thing was that the kids got free meals with our entree orders.“

“We love this place. It has such a family atmosphere that’s probably why they’ve been in business so long. The food is amazing no matter what you order. I can’t pick one favourite. All the servers /bartenders are fast and efficient. I highly recommend Avanti’s. See you there. .“

“Hands down the best caesar salad I have ever tasted!“

“They were pleasant and very nice! They had my meals done within 15 minutes and when I got home they were amazing! Cooked the chicken tenders perfectly and the pizza and garlic fingers were on point! Thank you and would reference anyone to this location!“

“Pizza Pizza never disappoints! The food was fresh, hot, and super tasty. The staff were really friendly and quick, and they got my order perfect. The place was clean, the service was fast, and everything tasted amazing. Definitely a 5-star experience — I’ll be coming back for sure!“

“I ordered during a street festival that I was a vendor at - and not only did the Oshawa location call to give a heads up about the event, they even hand delivered it to my booth and then even followed up to ask how it was. The food was incredible and the customer service is unmatched. Highly recommend! Will definitely be back soon“

“We stopped in for a spontaneous lunch, not expecting much more than a quick bite—but our experience was elevated entirely thanks to our exceptional server, Jenn. From the moment we were seated, she struck the perfect balance of attentiveness and warmth. She was incredibly welcoming, kind, and genuine without ever being over the top.

What stood out most was how naturally she anticipated all our needs. From drink refills to thoughtful suggestions, she seemed to be one step ahead without hovering or interrupting our family time. It’s rare to encounter service that feels both effortless and deeply considerate, but she managed to create exactly that atmosphere.

She made what was a casual, last-minute lunch feel relaxed and comfortable, and we left with full hearts as well as full stomachs. A true professional who clearly cares about her guests—she’s the kind of person who makes you want to come back again.“

Overall, a fantastic place to enjoy a delicious meal.“
