18 Best Italian Restaurants in Vaughan

“Great food. Great atmosphere. Great staff. Didn't go home hungry but went home with leftovers. Quantity of food dishes are large enough to eat twice. Wife and I were very happy with the selection of food and had hard time deciding what to eat since there is a large variety of food. Had the Tuscan fries, fried raviolis, spicy sausage penne and Rosa fettuccine. Decided that it wasn't enough so bought shrimp fettuccine and Bolognese to take home to enjoy later. Wife decided she wasn't full so she got Nutella eclair for dessert which was great. Way to go Justin. Good job. Bell smarthome Tech“

“The most dog friendly restaurant in GTA!! A must go for dog owner in their patio. Were treated like VIPs with our two Akitas. Staffs and the manager are super nice and all dog lovers/owners. Food is brilliant. I had the best calamari over here. Highly recommended“

“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“

“We went to the new Bradford location and we were not dissapointed. The food is to die for!!“

“Everything about our experience at L'antipasto was amazing. This place is a true gem. The atmosphere and decor is beautiful. The food was outstanding, pairings on the plate complimented each other nicely and plates were done with precision and care. Lastly, we received impeccable service from our server Denny. He was absolutely fantastic. He above and beyond. We all truly enjoyed ourselves very much for our birthday celebration. Thank you again to the L'antipasto team.“

“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!!“

“Extremely good restaurant! as Italian I was never expecting to find these so good quality and tradition on the other side of the earth. Se siete italiani dovete assolutamente mangiare qui!“

“Great place, amazing food and impeccable service.!!!“

“The best pizza in the city hands down. Giant pizza slices, always fresh. This is how pizza should be done. They have a hot table with pastas, chicken/veal parm, veggies and more. Amazing sandwiches too. High quality food made with lobe and care everytime. ? ?“

“If you don’t mind the premium price, I highly recommend the steak or chicken wrap as it comes with veggies and cheese. They are very tasty. The two towers is surprisingly quite filling. This spot gets very busy for lunch and can have slow service as a result so try calling ahead to place an order if you’re in a rush.“

“Amazing food and ambiance“

“Can I seriously give this place more than 5 stars?
We were starving after being in traffic for hours and drove by this little place, decided to stop - a pure blind stop - didn’t check the reviews, just a quick glance at the menu.
Upon walking in, we were greeting with the most amazing aroma of something fantastic that the pastry chef was baking - a vanilla sponge that was just the most amazing smell ever!
Even though the staff were setting up for a large party in a few hours, they graciously sat us, answered our questions and made recommendations, all with such a homely feeling and a smile.
We kept it simple, spaghetti in tomato sauce and a funghi calzone that was MASSIVE!
I just honestly can’t say enough about the food; rich, flavourful, authentic, fresh, made from scratch like your Nonna would make at home - it was just divine!
The service was another category on its own - it just felt like home with family - we really loved it so so much and have already made plans to visit again on the weekend!
Please don’t change a thing - you guys have nailed perfection!“

“We loved the quiet, comfortable family atmosphere with FANTASTIC food.“

“Came to this restaurant to celebrate a birthday and was greeted by the owners, Giovanni and Marco. The food and service was phenomenal, and the atmosphere was great. When it was time for dessert, they surprised us with Marco's wonderful singing of happy birthday. We were taken care of for everything we needed without having to ask. We will definitely be back to this restaurant. They have new regulars!“

“Went for lunch with my family yesterday, and we had Christine as our server. She was super friendly to my kids and they really enjoyed talking to her. Overall food and service was great!“

“Updating our review…
Our second visit was a touch different from our first visit. The food continued to be spectacular with every plate carefully and exquisitely prepared and plated.

The ambience however was much different this time around. There was a very large group on the other side of the restaurant which was not very loud. However, the children of the group decided to use the restaurant as a race track and were constantly running and screaming through the area, where we were dining. It came to the point where we could not even hear ourselves speaking to each other, and the children began to, run right into our table. The wait staff and house staff did nothing to prevent this from happening.

Finally, one of the older children reported to the parents, and the children were retrieved for the time being, only to start again. This actually really impacted our enjoyment of our afternoon. The staff however, served us beautifully, and our server was incredible. I just wish that our party of 7 had a peaceful time to talk without being interrupted by screaming, running and intruding children. The noise level from the screaming and running was evident. The parents of course also play a role, but assistance from the staff to ensure a pleasant experience for all diners would have been great.

FIRST VISIT
Beautiful place in the heart of Kleinburg. The wait staff was attentive and wonderful and the menu had a wide variety of choices. The ambience in the trattoria was calm, classy and elegant. Although it was pretty full when we were dining (noon on a Saturday) the volume in the restaurant was pretty good and my group was able to chat easily without having to strain to hear. The meal was on par and we’ve already started planning our return visit meals. My favourite was the dessert with a delectable crème brûlée. Thank you Belsito for a lovely afternoon lunch!“
