50 Best Italian Restaurants near Chelsea

“great service and the best pasta ever“

“My wife and I love this place. Pizza and salads are delicious with the real Italian vibe, especially the ones with Bufala cheese. We always get great service from Joe who is a very friendly waiter and has excellent customer skills. My only suggestion would be to make a reservation ahead of time as they are always busy for last minute orders/reservations.“

“Went here for our 2nd wedding anniversary. A very delicious widespread of food! We were not disappointed. Amazing customer service, cute drinks, and yummy food. What more could we ask for?!

“We had the Hawaiian pizza and goat cheese pizza for our first dinner at this restaurant and they were amazing! Delicious light crust and delicious toppings, we thought we would need takeout containers but we were wrong! 😅

The White Russian and Ashton cider were also very yummy. Ashton is a dry cider, quite refreshing!“

“We went tonight for our friend’s birthday. Food was amazing, drinks were good, service was excellent. 10/10 recommend. Note it is small inside, very quaint. As a person with a young baby, I won’t be bringing her (my daughter) there; we’ll keep it for a date night 😅“

“Easily the best pizza around 10/10 from the customer service to the fresh ingredients that make their food stand out. The difference between their food and your run of the mill pizza shop is night and day. Very chill atmosphere the kitchen staff are happy and seem to be very happy to be there. Also surprisingly good price. 10/10“

“This was our third year in a row hosting a large dinner (13 people) in the private room downstairs, and each and every time it's been the perfect experience. The AV equipment is a breeze to set up, we control the volume of the music and the temperature in the room. That space, the team, the set menu they offer- just the best!“

“The service and attention to detail is unmatched, the food is vibrant and delicious. Tonight I had the most beautiful cut of Veal I have ever had in my life, recommend by Rick. Me and my girlfriend had a truly amazing experience together at La Strada!“

“Hands down best spot for food“

“I visited recently with my extended family for my aunt’s celebration of life. The staff were amazingly considerate to our needs. My son and I have a number of anaphylactic allergies, which we made the staff aware of in advance. The staff were so kind as to point out which items would be safe for my son, and which to steer clear of. I then asked if they might be able to make me a dish that was no longer on their menu, and they obliged. It was just as delicious, if not better than I had remembered! 10/10 service, and 10/10+ food! We’ll be back soon, my son is still talking about the delicious Mac and cheese!“

“I don’t often venture to the Gatineau side since I live in Orléans, but I’d make the trip again in a heartbeat for this spot! The atmosphere was fantastic—relaxed, welcoming, and perfect for a sunny afternoon on the patio. The margherita pizza was simply delicious, and the service was top-notch. Both waitresses were incredibly friendly and made the experience even better. Highly recommend!“

“My husband and I just ate the BEST burger we have ever had!! And we eat a lot of burgers. This burger has ruined all other burgers for me. It was SO delicious!!“

“Such a little hidden gem. The food is good and there is something on the menu for everyone. We tried their Donair Sub And meatball sub which were both fantastic. Based on the marinara sauce and the meatball sub, I bet their spaghetti is really good. The owners are very lovely And the prices are fair.“

“My experience was amazing. The food and service was genuinely outstanding. I was blown away by the customer service and friendliness of the staff. The server had impeccable knowledge of the menu and the food was to die for. I would definitely 10/10 recommend this restaurant to anyone who wants to be blown away by a local restaurant with unique interior and delicious one of kind cuisine.“

Nick and his team were professional, on time, and easy to work with. Their service helped make the event smooth and memorable.

Highly recommend them for any special occasion! Thank you Nick !!“

“The pasta was pretty decent and actually not too pricey compared to other spots around. The meat, though, felt a bit on the expensive side for such a small portion. I wasn’t really into the coffee either; it tasted burnt to me. Overall, it was a decent experience, but there are definitely some things that could be improved.“

“First time trying the pizza here at Giovanni’s Snack Bar and Pizzeria. Absolutely delicious!! Ordered the Margarita Pizza. Giovanni was extremely kind from the moment I walked in until I left today. I would highly recommend choosing Giovanni’s the next time you are craving pizza or when you’re in the area!“

“Great ambiance, food and music“

“Yessss very good , me and my wife is are best restaurant now and very nice people“

“One of the best pizzas I’ve had in our neighbourhood.

The guy at the counter was pleasant to chat with and recommended the right pizza for us. We were in the mood to have a spicy pizza and the tandoori chicken pizza was a perfect match.

I wish I had taken a picture but the pizza was put together very nicely. The base was crunchy and pizza was surprisingly fresh, well-balanced and delicious even though we had it after a short gap.

I generally choose to build my own pizza, but this restaurant has many interesting combinations to choose from. I will be sure to try more options in the future.“

“Awesome food great staff !!!“

“Bonne nouvelle! Petit changement au Mia Pasta au Promenade, le propriétaire du Mia Pasta à Hull vient d’acheter le Mia Pasta à Gatineau! Le Mia Pasta à Hull a toujours été excellent! Maintenant, nous pourrons aller manger aux deux restaurants sans problème qualité goût!“

“Excellent location, atmosphere, service and food.“

“My daughter and I are Celiac. The food and the service was amazing. My husband had regular food and said it was also good. I would recommend to anyone to go and try the restaurant it’s really worth it. Thank you for making my daughter feel normal on her birthday.“

“Strolling through the Glebe while visiting from Yellowknife, we found this gem. We had such a lovely conversation about cheeses, truffles and even a tasting. It is so nice to have such a warm experience and support local shops. We look forward to enjoying our cheese selections and coming back the next time we visit. ❤️ If you are in the area, stop by for incredible Italian treasures and warm, heartfelt service, and a perfect Americano!“

“Excellente soirée à La Squadra. Le service était excellent et attentionné (de mémoire, elle s’appelle Annie-Pierre), un sommelier était sur place pour nous guider avec notre choix de vin. Des portions généreuses mais surtout, des repas excellents.“

“I absolutely recommend Dalmoro’s Fresh Pasta To Go.. the freshest pasta that one can ever find in Toronto. their pesto is my all time favourite. Their housemade classic Tiramisu and Nutella Tiramisu deserves a special mention !!!“

“Unbelievably amazing. Simply the best lasagna and pizza I’ve had in recent memory. Wish I hadn’t forgotten my ball cap there (I was visiting for work), but the whole group were blown away at how ridiculously good and reasonably priced it all was. Routinely rave about it to all who will listen, 100% will go again every time I’m in the city.“

“-.- By far the best PizzaPizza in the city. I’m super addicted to large 2 topping. Plant based Pepperoni and ground beef. Sometimes with a touch of a veggie option as well. The DT location is also a very popular spot due to the high demand of food in that region and location. I’m usually their twice a month. I like fresh pop from time to time but I’m mostly stick to Dasani water now.

“Del Piacerre was absolutely amazing, it was a bit slow at first but I’ve got to say we were done our food in like 30 minutes. The food was so good. The server even offered us a half and half pizza so it wouldn’t be so much. I loved it“

“10/10! The White Album was amazing and some of the best garlic sauce I've ever had! They have incredible food.“

“I think the pizza is decent, Altough not into the crusts size. So i always order thin crust. I have eaten there cinnamon and sugar fried dough with the caramel sauce and it was pretty good. The pepperoni Panzerotti/Calzone was actually great but i would recommend you change the default cooking method which is fried to (Baked). Fried is not good at all in my opinion but baked is great. The delivery drivers are always nice and never had an issue so far. I also recommend to put double pepperoni. The only gripe would be the crust size but i might try their gourmet thins to see if that fits closer to my liking.
Overall it is a pretty good experience so far.“

“Been living in Westboro for a few years and we wanted to try this new place that our neighbours told us about. What a lovely atmosphere! The service is very friendly, and they were accomodating for us to send one of their employees outside to our car to give us the pizza!! And the food is delicious!! We ordered a large pizza and the club sandwich and it was served with fries and a delicious salad on the side. Great stuff. Can't wait to come here in the summer!!“
