“GREAT RESTAURANT“

“Outstanding restaurant and amazing food.“

“Couple weeks ago was my first time eating there. Wow was it amazing. I was stuffing myself. It tasted so good.
Came back today pretty much got the same thing. Chicken parm both times.Today the chicken wasn’t right. The top half of the chicken breast was grizzly the bottom half wasn’t grizzly, but it was hard to cut.
Third time is the charm, we will see !!!“

“Ordered pizza for pickup while staying across the street at Holiday Inn Express. Although the toppings were plentiful and delicious, the crust was undercooked & a little doughy! Plus, it was on a sheet of parchment/wax paper that was completely stuck to the crust & impossible to peel off! Unfortunately, these 2 details turned what should have been an enjoyable night into a messy and frustrating experience!“

“Staff was extremely friendly and courteous. Our waiter Giorgio was charming and worked hard to make our evening perfect. Upon discovering a tiny mistake in my order, he immediately brought me a new plate (although I had not complained—the first plate was yummy). The dish I actually ordered was so delicious, but of course now I had too much food, but they expected me to take both pastas home, providing containers before I thought to ask. Then a complimentary tiramisu on top of that! We felt very well taken care of. I don’t expect such special treatment every time but the food was so good we will definitely go back as often as we can.“

“Looking forward to the next menu!“

“Thank you for the amazing service and top-notch food! What an amazing hidden gem! My daughter and son-in-law's beautiful wedding reception was everything we could have asked for and more!!!“

“amazing time and service“

“I ordered takeout of the radiatori with shredded braised beef, mushrooms, and blush sauce, and it was truly exceptional—easily the most delicious pasta dish I have ever had!“

“Best Italian cuisine in Windsor Essex County. Always a wonderful time coming here...excellent food, friendly service and love the ambiance!“

“My husband and I found this cozy spot last weekend. A sweet, friendly atmosphere where they make you feel right at home. (So much so we went back for a drink before they closed) The food was delicious, service lovely and the drinks fabulous.“

“Just celebrated our 10th Anniversary...and didn't even think twice about where we would go..somehow you continue to outdue yourselves each and every time . John, Debbie and crew..thank's for making our experience perfect!“

“Went to Ciao last night for a birthday/Valentines Day dinner. They had a set menu for the night. Every single thing we ate was beyond delicious!! The plates were so pretty to look at and even better to taste. So much love went into each plate! The Gorgonzola gnocchi melted in your mouth. The meat (on the short ribs) fell right off the bone…don’t even get me started on the cheesecake and chocolate creme brûlée!!! 😍 Mia, our server went above and made the night so much better. Definitely worth every penny!!“

“best home made food in town ;)“

“The last time I dined at The Cook’s Shop was 30 years ago; 1996, when I graduated college.

We went with some friends, made a reservation, and drives at 5:30pm on September 4th for our plans.

The young man who seated us, Carlos Jr., was super pleasant and chatted with us. Next up was our server Ian, who had previously worked in the kitchen for 3 years, so understood the menu and was able to recommend things.

We started with the fresh bread, hot from the oven, and upgraded to bruschetta. It was delicious.

The next course was The Cook’s Shop salad, which is essentially a caesar salad without the bacon. Again, scrumptious. They offer fresh grated Parmesan on top too, which makes it extra decadent.

For our meals, 3 of us opted for the Beef Stroganoff. When I say this was one of the best meals I’ve ever had, I mean it. The gravy was the perfect texture and consistency, the beef was tender, and the noodles al dente. Impeccable. Our other companion chose the lasagna, and he said it was fantastic.

Although we couldn’t finish our meals (the ladies, at least), we decided on homemade tiramisu for dessert. It was perfect. Just the right amount of sweetness.

I was so impressed that I asked if we could come back for my 50th birthday in 3 months (ugh 😔).

Highly recommend, do not sleep on this restaurant!!!“

“The service was amazing and the food was delicious!“

Recently we ordered chicken, sausage, potatoes, and vegetables for a wedding party and guests. Again, it was excellent. This is an overlooked pizza and pasta gem in the city. I would highly recommend Rosa's.“

“My mom was in the mood for lasagna today. So I googled pasta places in Windsor. We lucked out and found this gem! Talk about flavour fireworks! Every bite of fresh ingredients was delightful, and portions are very generous. Decor is unique and stunning as well.We will definitely back.“

“Top end pizza. My new go to for regular style and detroit style. Today was first time trying regular pizza. Was dope. Will get again. Half meat lovers half hot Hawaiian. The bomb. Normally get detroit style the Godfather 3. Added a Pic of the detroit godfather.“

“I’ve been going here often the last few months and when I do, I’m assisted by a very hard-working worker named Zayer! Each time I grab food here, he helps me out in a very quick, diligent and eager fashion. He makes sure his customers are in and out with the best customer service received. Happy to know there is a good place to get some good food and great service! Keep up the great work Zayer! Also, give him props for running the restaurant on his own while I got my food tonight. He was busy but held his own from what I could tell. Thanks again!! Pizza was delicious as always.“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Special recognition to Kristy at Pizza Hut she made the pizza herself, handled the front, and also maintained an impressively clean store throughout. Her work ethic stood out immediately, from food preparation to keeping every area spotless.

I had the $7.99 lunch deal with cheeseburger pizza, fries, and a drink. The food was fresh, hot, and well prepared.

The entire location was extremely clean dining area, counter, and kitchen all looked well cared for. It was clear the staff work as a team to maintain high standards during a busy lunch period.

Kristy provided excellent service while also managing multiple responsibilities with professionalism and a positive attitude. The experience felt organized, efficient, and welcoming from start to finish.

Overall, great value, excellent cleanliness, and standout service. Highly recommended for a quick lunch. 🍕“

“I was greeted by Tom this afternoon while going out for dinner with my pals. He was extremely kind and knowledgeable when we asked questions. We shared laughs and I will be returning to this location because of his friendliness! Give this man a raise!“

“Great friendly and knowledgeable staff. Fran is always so welcoming. My hair always looks great.“

“Always great! Try the chicken supreme wraps and the chicken parm is always amazing! Use them to cater 5- 25 people all the time! Fast prompt delivery!“

“I visited the store last Wednesday and was served by an employee named Jainil or possibly Jenil, I’m not sure of the exact spelling. He gave excellent customer service he was quick, friendly, and made a fantastic pizza. He asked me to leave some feedback at that time, but I was busy that week, so I’m sharing it now. He really deserves the recognition!“

“We stopped with kids late in night after long drive from states, dine in was closed but staff was so kind to accommodate us. Pizza was also nicely baked with good quantity of toppings. Definitely recommend and stop by again in future. Really appreciate the staff’s favour!“
