I had Chloe as a server and she was really kind and attentive and also recommended the pazzo bread which I loved, the drinks and food are also reasonably priced

Food is outstanding, and service is great for the most part. Sometimes slow, but staff is very nice and can be accommodating. The atmosphere is not that pretty, unsure if it was just the last two times I’ve gone but the vibe does not match the price you’re paying. The chicken alfredo, bruschetta, and garlic cheesy bread are a fan favourite in my house!

We have been eating here for years now but unfortunately lately the quality of food is not the same. Not sure what has changed but the food is not nicely cooked anymore. It’s disappointing as this used to be one of our favorite restaurants. However the staff is still very warm and welcoming.

When you stumble upon a place that not only welcomes you with open arms past its closing time but also lets you tweak your order to your liking, you know you've found a gem. This restaurant was just that—a pleasant surprise on all fronts. The staff were exceptionally gracious, allowing us to order and linger beyond the usual hours without even a hint of rush.I decided to splurge a little and went for the enoki with steak and shrimp, a decision I didn't regret. Yes, it was on the pricier side, but the taste was sublime. The steak was tender and cooked to perfection, the shrimp were succulent, and the gnocchi added a delicate and pillowy touch that tied the whole dish together. The creamy sauce draped over the ingredients was rich and satisfying, with just the right amount of garlic and seasoning, and a sprinkle of cheese that added a lovely finishing touch.The Dad's Old Fashioned Root Beer was another high point—refreshing with a nostalgic twist. It's not often that you find such an authentic taste that complements a meal so well.As for the ambiance, it was as comforting as the meal. The restaurant had an old-world charm with its dark wood furniture and vintage decor, like the large, ornate pot that stood like a silent guardian of the establishment's traditions. It felt like stepping back to a simpler, more relaxed time.Our food arrived promptly, contributing to the overall positive experience. It's definitely a place I'd visit again—100 percent. The combination of the welcoming environment, the ability to personalize your order, and the outstanding flavors makes it a standout. It's a spot you leave with the intention of returning, eager to taste the next delightful dish they have to offer.

I came here a few times most recently on Valentines Day and also ordered takeout. We really enjoyed the atmosphere of the restaurant and the free bread. There is a great wine selection as well. The snail appetizer is delicious. The pastas were decent but not exceptional. I got the spagetti and meatballs takeout once and it was too salty. The other pastas I had were alright but not top notch. I did not like the rustica or carbonara. Hit or miss

We arrived right as the restaurant opened and were seated promptly. I really enjoyed the gnocchi con gamberetti, particularly the lemon flavour. The risotto milanese was also delicious with lots of mushrooms. The portions were enough for lunch with some left over.Unfortunately, there were traces of dried blood on each of our napkins. It wasn't the case in the previous times we've been to Ennio's, but it is a sanitary concern.

Food was good, portions were all large, but pricey. Every item even apps felt a bit too big and came with a price tag, if everything was smaller and cheaper I would have enjoyed my food a fair bit more. The service was relatively spotty and waters that were offered never came. It really is the atmosphere that brings this place down. It felt awkward to be there and didn't make me want to stay for desert and coffee.
