Reviews
Just had one of the best pizzas of my life here. The flavors were spot-on, the crust was perfection, and the service was impeccable. Highly recommend to anyone craving authentic and delicious pizza.
Thank you pizza roma plus for amazing experience. It was really worth trying. Amazing taste, amazing service and amazing options!! Highly appreciated!👏🏻
We’ve been coming here for over a decade. Even our child loves it! The service is always outstanding. We celebrated a birthday here recently, and our server made the dining experience extra special and he was very attentive. The risotto and fettuccine pasta are our favorites. Our kid loves them too. We hope they continue to do well for a very long time.
Definitely recommend.

Went here for my birthday. We advance booked a table, which made it easier and jumped queue. It was our first time here, found place a bit overcrowded with tables being too close to accommodate lot more guests. Which i found to be not so good experience. Food was good. Our server was very nice, whatever she recommended was excellent.
Here I am I may have picked the wrong location because miami was on point. Well this place well far from on point server was slow and not focused so sad. I had pizza was ok nothing great and we also had the veal was also just ok. Nothing eles to say but said. Was expecting 5 star and left sad. Was just a bad feeling all around. You guys failed me !!! And I was still being nice with a 3 star. Let’s see if anyone reaches out.
Good luck
Good luck
Mushroom pasta is worth it - get it without the truffle oil drizzle.
Pizza is massive and very filling.
Bread is a bit much - a tad oily and salty, but still alright.
Atmosphere is fantastic anytime of the day, any day of the week. Sit anywhere in the restaurant and it's photo-worthy.

Great vibrant atmosphere. This restaurant is located at a busy entertainment district (especially on a weekend). The server was kind and attentive. Food was mediocre. Will return when we are around the area for some Italian food.
We had a fantastic experience dining here. The food was really good, we enjoyed everything from the carpaccio to the pastas to the homemade tiramisu. The staff, especially Edwin, were so kind and friendly ! Will be back soon.
I have tried the Indian style pizza🍕 if I remember it correctly. That was yum 😋. With herbs and very authentic indian taste with a bunch of spicy notes wow!! The owner of the store is so down to earth as well as the staff.
You can count on my review and go for it 🤠

Had a minor mix-up with our order, but the way the staff at Popular Pizza handled it was commendable. They were quick to correct the mistake and even threw in a complimentary dessert. It's not just about the pizza here; it's about genuine care for customers. Will be back for sure.
Had an amazing experience at Popular Pizza. The staff was attentive and prompt, ensuring our order was perfect. The pizza itself was delicious, but the standout was the excellent service. Highly recommended!
Worst experience ever, I asked for a small pizza and the guy was like I can give u the pizza slices in the price of the small pizza. I ask him again to make the order as said he was kind of arguing the same thing again and again. I then told him to do as I order or I will be leaving, then he was silent. Some kind of fat and bearded guy with glasses. They should change their employees or train them how to handle customers.
Loved it!
The staff was very friendly and helped us pick pizzas!

Amazing food, ask for your pizza well done for a great crispy crust. Would recommend this to anyone looking for an amazing pie!
Wow! We were so glad we found this place! Highly highly recommend.
Outstanding service from Nick our server. We were there pretty late close to last call and everyone was so nice. Nick was the best server I’ve ever experienced, he’s very knowledgeable about the menu/patient and a delightful person.
The food was exceptional as well. Although the portion could’ve been bigger. I’ve had the truffle pasta and tiramisu and it is to die for.
Will definitely put this on the list of top restaurants we’ve ever been to. Amazing staff, exceptional food, and overall a great dining experience.

Ordered pizza for the first time and I am very impressed with the generous amounts of toppings they put on the pizza. The extra cheese on the outside crust makes it very crispy. I am glad that all the other pizza places around my neighborhood were closed early on Sunday night or else I wouldn't have discovered this hidden gem in the Tillicum area.
Came here with my uncle for lunch; was very impressed with the service and especially the food. Everything we had was delicious, the atmosphere was lovely and the staff was very friendly and timely. Would highly recommend this place to family and friends. Great spot for a night out.
We’ve ordered from here twice now. Both times were consistent and delicious. I don’t like pizza crust, but this pizza crust is the only one I’ll actually eat. Two wins in my book, great job. Also the price is fair for what you’re getting. It is definitely a win in my books.
I ordered olive pizza, only to receive a pineapple. Upon realizing the mistake, I promptly called the establishment, hoping to resolve the issue. To my dismay, the person on the other end insisted that I had ordered a pineapple pizza. After a back-and-forth, they agreed to make me a free olive pizza, assuring me it would be ready in 10 minutes.
I arrived at the pizza place only to be greeted by another layer of disappointment. Shockingly, the manager had apparently not approved the olive pizza, and as a result, it hadn't been made.
The lack of communication and organization within the staff was glaringly evident.

Food was decent but nothing stood out.
The interior is pretty but had weird service. I am not sure if because maybe our server was relatively new, he was nice but just really awkward timing and vibe to the service.
I do want to make a comment though about how they went about with the hair that was embedded in the whole branzino we ordered. A strand of hair (or looked like hair) was literally stuck on the fish, they did take it away to make us a new one which I appreciate but the comment that was made was rude and condescending where they made it sound like it was one of my lashes that fell on the dish. I did not wear make up nor did I have lashes glued on or have lash extentions and for the staff to make it sound like I placed my lash on the dish was extremely unprofessional and manipulative comment to make.
Will not be returning for that kind of service.

We’ve purchased x-large pizzas approximately 6 times this summer. Every single time I’ve come in to order, the staff have been genuinely friendly!
Each of the inter-communicating staff take great care in the order’s preparation from start to finish.
Each item of our pizzas has consistently tasted wonderful, for each of us.
Quality. Friendliness. Great attentiveness as well as order completion time.

I came here on a Saturday for brunch, found Figo online listed as one of the better brunch spots, and have passed by it a few times. It is a beautiful restaurant with a modern and simplistic look; I love the open-concept kitchen where you can see the chefs making the food. We had the bottomless mimosas, I had the orange juice base, and my friend had the peach base, both were amazing, and bottomless; you can't go wrong. For food, we had the burrata (absolutely amazing with the peaches & balsamic), and then for our mains, we had spaghetti carbonara (so rich and excellent fresh pasta). Lastly, while the restaurant wasn't busy on a Saturday at 2pm, the server was so lovely and personable, Cherise continued to check in on us, offer us more mimosas and really was so kind. Overall, will definitely return to see how dinner service is!
Top notch experience at Figo last night… came to celebrate my birthday and it did not disappoint. Food was amazing, vibe was great, our waiter was awesome! I forget his name, but he mentioned he was from Colombia!
Amazing view of the CN tower as well out on the patio! Highly recommend

WAY overated. We came here based only on the amazing google reviews. It tasted like was prepared by the staff of a pizza franchise. We sat on the outside and the host/ staff looked at us like we could not afford to eat here and did us a favor by giving us a table at 5:45 pm in an empty restaurant. LOL! Guys, I travel the world for food.
Risotto tasted like bought from Costco and was microwaved just before servings.
Lamb chop tasted gamey ( and I love lamb and have it often)
Seafood app was the worst tasting dish I have had in years. Tough low quality products offered at a high price.
Seafood pasta- forgetfull and under seasoned. Would have enjoyed it more if they bought frozen prepared seafood pasta from Costco. It tasted like to prepared in a air fyer. There was a lack of executation and seasoning in the all the food we ordered tonight. But food presention was OK.
They have a fake show where they open the sun vents for 5 minutes, kinda cool unless you are sitting nearby. All the debris fell on the guest and food. They were NOT happy.
Only good things was how pour the wine into a decanter and then pour itin your glass. ( kinda cool the first time you see it) It may have high review ONLY If you dont compare it to any Italian restaurants in Toronto. It is very busy so they have lots of regular clients but save your time and money to go downtown or there is a few good Italian places in Brampton . I had better Italian food in a one $ / star establishment.
It is a dated style restaurants with very senior staff that only take care of their regular customers. The new females staff was useless on a Saterday night when we visited ealry in their dinner service so it was not busy. She forgot about our table when we asked for items amd had to ask her a second time on 3 occasions.
Senior Staff seems to have have worked there for 30 years+ and it shows. Was not a refined dinning experience at all, it was kind of sad. It was like a 16 year old son borrowing his dad car and oversized suit for his first date in high school and eating in a expensive place- trying way too hard to impress everyone and they failed to make a positive expression with me.

I have never had a bad meal at Figo, but I don’t think I’ve ever had such a superb experience as last night. We enjoyed sharing several dishes, and not surprisingly, the pasta was cooked to perfection, with a fresh pesto that was perfectly seasoned, and I really cannot speak highly enough about the zucchini fritti that was light and crispy and served in a honey glaze that made me want to lick the plate. We could not get over the combination of flavors in the mushrooms, with a rich, flavorful, balsamic glaze. The service was attentive and efficient in spite of the restaurant being very busy, and I enjoyed myself immensely. A peak dining experience.
We had a very enjoyable evening. The food, service, and ambiance was great. Perfect for any occasion, will definitely go back.
Woodfire pizza, everything is handmade from scratch. Definitely gonna come back.
FOOD (menu changed)
• Rigatoni Alla Pesto: the pasta is a little bit undercooked to me. But the dish in general is good, very traditional and authentic flavor.
• Cream Rigatoni: I prefer this one, I believe it no longer be on the menu. It's very simple but all the flavor goes very well together, creamy, enhanced by the hint of rosemary.
• Affogato: strong espresso shot with a light & refreshing vanilla gellato.
• Cannoli: Ricotta cream cheese on one side & pistachio cream on the other side. The cannoli is huge and very tasty.
DRINKS:
• brandy espresso martini: I love how they add some chocolate powder on top. Best cocktail ever
SERVICE: decent service, a little hard to get a server to the table to order.
VIBE: There's a whole open kitchen with pizza oven and pasta station in the back, where you can see chef making pasta and pizza fresh from scratch. Big & bright area surrounded by glass to catch natural light.

The food at this restaurant is completely amazing, one of the best pasta dishes I’ve ever had. The server servicing us was funny and friendly as well, most of all provided us an amazing service which made our experience that much better. The restaurants design is fantastic, and loved the architecture of the place. The only shortfall I have with Gusto101 is that the atmosphere of the place. The tables, to dine for 2 are extremely small. Besides that no complaints. Overall, I have to rate this a 5/5, and this is a must try restaurant in Toronto.
Best pizza in Kitchener, I really love the taste.
Came here as a group and ordered a few items to share. They do auto gratuity included and only accepts one bill for groups.
Upon entrance, the ambience felt really nice. Music is not too loud, which is great for socializing. Overall, the food tasted okay. Most tasted too salty to our liking, but the best one for us is the tagliatelle with chicken and funghi. Portions were a tad bit small especially for the appetizers. We also enjoyed the grilled octopus and calamari as they were so tender and flavourful.

First time was fine (lunch, we were the only patrons), the second time was horrible. Took my sister and her family when they visited Toronto and it was such a mistake. The service was average. The food was terrible - her pasta was over-salted (literally like someone forgot they had added salt before) and the revised dish tasted like they'd just rinsed and sent back. Salmon was dry with precisely 5 potato pieces given as vegetables. Everyone's dishes lacked any flavour. Food court would've been a better choice. No offer of a complimentary dessert or at least removing the over-salted dish from the bill. Had to keep searching for the server (we were a table of 6 people so hard to miss) but no luck. What a waste of a vacation dinner. Please don't go there.
We celebrated our special family birthday- and we chose THE RIGHT PLACE. Awesome food. Great service by Tony. Little pricey but awesome for special occasions.
Food temperature and taste was just amazing.
Tony was awesome - funny, and he suggested a great gluten free meal for my niece.
Ambience...... top class.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Popular Pizza, and I must say, it was an exceptional experience from start to finish. This pizzeria has certainly earned its reputation as a local favorite.
The moment I walked in, I was greeted with a warm and inviting atmosphere. The cozy seating and the aroma of freshly baked pizza instantly put me in the mood for a great meal. The staff was incredibly friendly and accommodating, making me feel right at home.
Now, let's talk about the star of the show—the pizza! I ordered their signature "Popular Supreme" pizza, and it was nothing short of spectacular. The crust was perfectly thin and crispy, providing the ideal foundation for a medley of high-quality toppings. The blend of fresh vegetables, savory meats, and a generous amount of cheese created a harmonious explosion of flavors in every bite.
What sets Popular Pizza apart is their dedication to using top-notch ingredients. You can taste the difference in the sauce, which had a rich, robust tomato flavor that complemented the toppings perfectly. It's clear that they take great pride in their craft.
The menu offers a wide variety of options, from classic Margherita to unique specialty pizzas, ensuring there's something for everyone. Whether you're a meat lover, a veggie enthusiast, or prefer something in between, you won't be disappointed.
In addition to the pizza, they also offer a selection of appetizers, salads, and desserts to round out your meal. I couldn't resist trying their garlic knots, which were soft, garlicky, and downright addictive.
The prices at Popular Pizza are reasonable, considering the quality of the food and the generous portion sizes. It's a great value for the taste and experience you receive.
To top it all off, the service was exceptional. The staff was attentive without being overbearing, and they made sure my dining experience was nothing short of excellent.

Amazing experience dining here. This restaurant gets quite busy, so making a reservation is best to secure a table. First and foremost, the food was excellent. I split three pizzas with my friends and each of them were unique. Definitely something you wouldn't find at a regular pizzeria. I also had a small sample of their pasta, that too was delicious.
The atmosphere and vibe at the restaurant were really nice. It's very dimly lit and makes for a nice date spot. And lastly, the service we got was good and attentive.

Was here for private event. 3 course menu. Starter: seafood salad was generous. Main: lamb chops delicious. Finally, the home made tiramisu tasted awesome. However, note that it is very light and fluffy in texture.
Girl working in the evening is so calm and kind. Owner should hire such kind people like her. Fully satisfied with their work, cleanliness , food and obviously workers. Should give 5 stars to everything like food, atmosphere and area. Great quality and taste. I recommend everyone to go and visit 17 tannery street Mississauga popular pizza
Food is incredible really liked it everything except for the pulpo. Burrata was amazing as was fungi salad. Flourless chocolate cake was just OK - I believe it should’ve been warmed up. Pulpo was alright, but the cold potatoes were not good beside it. The lamb shank pasta was pretty delicious as well. The service was excellent except a tad slow. And the joint is super noisy!!!!!
Overall, it was excellent -I’m just being quite detailed And picky here.

The best pizza I’ve ever eaten.The crust was perfect and crispy. The toppings were amazing. After I ate I had some leftovers so I brought it home and it was still amazing when it was cold. I would 100% recommend.🍕🍕🍕
Went here for an early weekday dinner, decor inside is very bright and gorgeous. Had some lovely wine, the burrata appetizer and the rigatoni alla vodka for dinner and both were scrumptious. The burrata in particular was a perfect mix of salty, acidic, and sweet due to the the toppings it was served with. And our server was great and very accommodating to our short timeline we had for dinner. Had a great time and definitely want to go back.
Went for the first time today for Lunch had the Pesto Chicken Panini with Bruschetta and was very satisfied. The Panini was so flavorful and filling. The staff were courteous and atmosphere inviting. A great place to wine and dine.
I've had enough of this restaurant. I've tried it a few times, bringing guests from out of town. The food is solid, pedestrian at best, but solid. The service is still irritating. They are so aggressive in how they hustle you at every step of the way, that it becomes uncomfortable. They're desperately trying to gouge people financially. They cap you at 2 hours, but all the while hustle you to order more drinks, and more expensive bottles of wine and food which takes forever to arrive and then as they're pouring your glass, they uncomfortably tell you, the next guests are already in line waiting for your table. It's comical because the restaurant is half empty. Quite frankly, I'm fed up and embarrassed and tired of the hustle. You're supposed to go out and enjoy a meal. Sometimes it takes an hour, sometimes, if you're guests from out of town that are ordering very expensive bottles of wine and lots of food it takes longer. Don't hustle people to over order --- you know what, your loyal guests won't come back. There's a thousand restaurants in Toronto. I'll go elsewhere happily.
Reserved for brunch on a Sunday afternoon. I was seated without any delay and the server was helpful in giving suggestions when asked. There aren’t too many brunch options, but I guess that’s a sign that they are confident that what they put out will be great!
We got 3 dishes to share. The brunch burger, pancakes and the mushroom pasta. All three were really good. My favourite was the pancake dish. They were fluffy, and the tartness of the Cherry compote balanced the sweetness well. The fries with the burger were crispy. The mushrooms in the pasta were cooked really.
Would recommend going here for sure.

Ordered take out after not ordering for about 5 months as the last time we received the wrong pizza. The pizza is just too heavy and greasy, also tried the pasta which was ok and the salad was covered in dressing which could have been on the side. The garlic toast was sad to say the least, no garlic butter at all. Never again and it gets to expensive.
We will stick to making our own pizza at home, cheaper and better!

Really nice restaurant!! My friends and I went there for lunch and we had a great time! Our server was really nice and made the experience enjoyable for us! The food was great, we especially enjoyed the pasta and the tiramisu! The ambience was also beautiful and super gorgeous! The restaurant was also super clean and tidy! Will definitely come here again :))
Overall, we were satisfied with this place but it did not meet our expectations. Unfortunately, the place was not as lively as we thought with a lot of empty seats. In some ways, this was good because it gave us a quiet atmosphere to talk but in some instances it was slightly suffocating. The arancini was pleasantly good and paired well with the orange wine we have received. Despite the lack of guests, we felt that the service still lacked and they were not as attentive as they could have been. All in all, it was still a nice place to sit down, chat, have a drink and a snack but a little bit too quiet for our liking.
Use to be the best pizza when I was growing up. I actually craved it. Clearly owners have changed. Ordered a pizza for delivery, arrived cold, attempted to eat. For the first time in my many years of eating pizza all around Canada, actually threw out the whole pizza due to it being inedible. Look elsewhere.
This evening I placed an online order and my pizza was ready for pick-up right on time. The gentleman serving me who I would assume is the owner is fantastic. He seems genuinely appreciative of our business and had awesome customer service skills. The pizza is fantastic and one of our favorite places in town. Thanks again! We will be back soon
They have whole wheat dough which is nice as not many pizza places offer that. Nothing extraordinary about it. Sauce looks like it's made of pureed tomatoes and nothing else. Very little flavour but the crust is pretty good. Will only return if I'm in a pinch and my regular spots don't have whole wheat available.
Fantastic food and service at Cibo. The staff really went above and beyond for us. They even catered to one of my colleagues requests which normally wouldn't be possible. Thanks for making our business lunch meeting extra special. I would highly recommend this place to anyone downtown looking for great Italian cuisine.
The atmosphere and service is always great at Cibo. I’ve come here on a date, out with friends, and for a girls night out. Each time was a great experience. This time, we ordered the burrata to start. The prosciutto was cut perfectly thin, and although the burrata itself was on the smaller side, it was still a delicious plate. Both the bolognese sauce and the rosé sauce were creamy and so flavourful, definitely recommend either dish. I wouldn’t go as far as to say this is the best Italian restaurant in downtown Toronto, but it’s definitely a great option for a day/night out with its lovely atmosphere, great service, and delicious food.
Gnocchi is next level delicious (and the picture shared is only a half portion to share!)
Mushrooms weren’t bad, bread was quite fresh, and had the option of substituting meat for vegetarian options, which I always appreciate.

I dont normally give 5 stars, but where credit is due, it has earned. David was wonderful with the bottle choice and recommendations on the food! He told us about the specials and was really helpful in enjoying our experience!
This pizza franchise is one of the worst. Think twice before going or ordering. The taste is horrible and the healthy guy at the counter is the worst and rude as if he is paying us to eat pizza. learn basics of customer service and how customers are treated. If franchise leaser or territory manager is reading this please undergo training sessions. Also food is pathetic. Burnt and cooked at worst.
Ordered a pizza for takeout and estimated pickup was 20 minutes. Got there on time and was made to wait another 20 minutes. Staff apologized for total 40 minute wait but no compensation offered for delay. Pizza was good but probably wouldnt order from here again due to customer service.
Not sure where to start with my review for this hidden gem in Toronto. My son was looking through Google to find an Italian restaurant near us and he picked out this place based on their ratings. What an amazing choice. For the first time in awhile I had nothing to complain about and every single item we ordered was WOW. The bread is so fresh crispy on the outside and fluffy inside. We ordered a margarita pizza to share, gnocchi, linguini shrimp Alfredo, pasta with blush sauce, shrimp and mushroom, and pasta with seafood. Everything was beyond delicious and the service was amazing as well. I will definitely be back and will recommend it to all our friends. Hats off to the chef and kitchen staff as well.
The ambiance was great and the hostess was very welcoming. Chris, from the service team was very friendly. He knew what he was doing and was great keeping up with service requirements from ordering to menu knowledge.
Thank you 🙏 for the evening. Loved the open kitchen window where you could literally see what’s happening with your order.

Called around 3pm to cancel our online order for 5:30pm, due to an unexpected change of plans. The man on phone seemed confused, but we must’ve said the word cancel at least a dozen times. Around 6:30 we get a phone call saying our pizza is ready. We politely let the man on the phone know that we called to cancel our order in the afternoon. The man started getting angry and we ended apologizing for the mix up. The man then decides to start swearing and calling us every name in the book, before hanging up on us. We are weekly regulars here so this was very upsetting. We will no longer be ordering from this establishment.
Decided on Cibo for dinner tonight. Seemed to have a few tables available. We sat inside behind the bar in a quiet area but the a/c was blowing on us.
Service was good and fairly attentive. Somewhere mod-dinner our server was changed the new one was not as interesting and seemed a little fake friendly.
Wine list is very expensive. Nothing lower than $60. Markup always excessive. They should really offer something lower. So the wines listed are certainly not with it.
Food was great. Gorgonzola pizza was excellent for appetizer. New experience. It was awesome.
Dinners veal melinase(sp), lobster ravioli, gnocchi and short ribs ravioli were very good.
Dessert ice cream. Nothing special.
Overall a good evening.
Service was good and fairly attentive. Somewhere mod-dinner our server was changed the new one was not as interesting and seemed a little fake friendly.
Wine list is very expensive. Nothing lower than $60. Markup always excessive. They should really offer something lower. So the wines listed are certainly not with it.
Food was great. Gorgonzola pizza was excellent for appetizer. New experience. It was awesome.
Dinners veal melinase(sp), lobster ravioli, gnocchi and short ribs ravioli were very good.
Dessert ice cream. Nothing special.
Overall a good evening.
Good food decent service although very very loud environment. Don’t expect to have a conversation unless you’re two people ;we arrived late due to Yonge Street being shut down had called and we’re shooed out of the place by the two hour mark as there was another reservation. I asked about dessert and basically was giving the check .I understand reservations, but two hours in a nicer restaurant with 5 people is tight even had we arrived on time. Given that this is not a cheap quick grab and go meal, I found this behaviour offensive would not return.
One of the best pizza had here in indian style and had many options too. And service is very good.
Always been a fan of their mushroom pasta, but haven’t been here in awhile. The portion definitely got smaller, and the sauce is not as rich as it’s used to. Our pasta came a bit cold so it was not as enjoyable. Also, barely any cheese!
Tried their calamari for the first time, it was good but nothing special. All in all, a bit disappointed with this visit. Hopefully they can be more consistent next time.

Solid restaurant experience! The food was delicious and our server was also fantastic. Really loved the Burrata appetizer, but I wish we hadn’t gotten it because the quantity of the pasta was more than enough. The tiramisu is FANTASTIC as well
Great service, fit our walk in between reservations. Lovely ambience & lots of options. Food was all very good & was able to accommodate dietary restrictions. Split focaccia, octopus, shrimp, broccolini, spinach paccheri(I think), & crab agnolotti between 3 of us & were full. Had an Il Volo which was very nice. Would come back again.
Amazing service, and great atmosphere. The food is ok. Pizza was a little but dissapointing and looked and tased no better then dominos. Will give it another try only because of our amazing server.
Superb. The food took a little longer but, quality always does. Everything was very good and fresh. The prices were moderate and surprisingly so as we expected it to be more expensive. The tiramisu.. outstanding !
I have ordered from this store for years. It was my favorite, until this week. My pizza was so soggy and undercooked, I had to use a spatula to lift it out of the box. I called and complained, they sent another pizza. Not as bad but it was also soggy. What happened? New owners or cooks? My waist line thanks you though, you've probably turned me off of pizza for life . I'd post a pic if I could.
Best thick crust pizza in Victoria. We’ve tried them all.
The pizza crust in itself was done the way I like it but unfortunately, one or two of the meat toppings was spoiled which made the whole pizza smell foul. That’s too bad because the crust was made the way I like it, and the service and the atmosphere were friendly
I usually don't write reviews but I wouldn't want others to waste their money here. If I could give this place "0" stars I would. The service and food were terrible.
We went there on a Thursday evening around 8pm. The restaurant didn't appear to be busy. 2 couples on the patio, and a group of ?5-6 inside.
We sat on the patio, it took about 15 minutes to get the food menu and water then another 30 minutes to get the cocktail menu, so about 45 minutes before we ordered. When we ordered food, I asked the server if I could see the wine menu. He told me no he wasn't getting me one, and the two options were "red" and "white" and he could recite it to me, and that was it.
When the food came another 50 minutes after we ordered, we received what I would call the biggest embarrassment to authentic Italian pizza. Caesar salad was like bagged salad from the supermarket definitely not worth $16.The Sicilian & Parma pizzas we ordered were cold, the tomato sauce looked like it had sat out on the crust and wasn't fresh, the crust was hard, yet over done and not edible. The Sicilian pizza had four single slices of onion and not cooked salami. I rather spend $5.00 and grab a slice from a generic pizza place then waste money on garbage. The food was absolutely disgusting. To top it off when we got the bill it was $86.00, the sever said "it's okay if you don't want to tip me"
This was honestly the worst dining experience I've ever had. The service is rude the food is absolute garbage. Don't waste your time and money at this place.

It was the second time i visited this pizza joint. We ordered shahi paneer pizza with Indian garnish. It was very tasty. The host were friendly and provided a complimentary pop. Very nice people and provided great service.
Love the Mediterranean pizza! Fresh, generous toppings crispy crust, cooked to perfection. Friendly service. I usually go for takeout as seating is limited.
Excellent food. Beautifull place. Good prices.
An airy industrial space that offers quality Italian dishes for all types of pallets. The service is very professional and upbeat. We went for brunch and had two dishes and drinks. Both were large portions and fresh. The eggs were free-range and you can taste the richness of it. The pizza dough was not chewy but had a nice texture. The seats at the smaller tables were not comfortable though, the bench on the side looked more comfy. The kitchen is open. It is noisy but you can see which dishes you want to order. And it was tough... They all look good!
Went on a Saturday evening with my wife for her birthday. We booked a reservation and we're seated in the patio section which was perfect for the evening weather. Parking seemed to be plentiful however we walked over. Living in the area all my life, I was surprised to learn that Alioli has been open since 1996.
Our server was very quick and attentive, we didn't have to wait long for food. All our dishes were delicious, starting with the insalata calabrese and calamari and for our mains, the penne di casa which has chicken and the penne le vodka which my wide substituted the with mushrooms. I recommend trying the drink Italian Surfer as it was quite tasty.
While being a bit on the pricey side, portions are great and the overall food and service is outstanding. Would highly recommend espailly for small gatherings and events or a simple date night.

This restaurant is just top notch. A great local Rosedale eatery that is welcoming, cozy and delicious. I’ve eaten here many many times and it doesn’t disappoint.
I usually go with the rack of lamb but this time I switched for the Il Salvatore (braised beef shank) pasta and loved it. Arancini balls as an appetizer are awesome - very crunchy and delicious. Steak frites here are also a staple and are highly recommended.
Come any night of the weekend there is always a good atmosphere but I recommend a reservation, can be difficult to walk in and get a table. In the summer time they have tables out on Yonge street which is a solid addition.

Went for dinner before concert on a rainy evening. So glad we made a decision to go. Food was so tasty. Pasta was we ordered cooked with vodka and tomato sauce. Unbelievable! I was craving for pizza. Loved the pizza too.
2 of the biggest panzorotti, lots of toppings, baked to perfection. Kids loved the pizza, lots of cheese. Also enjoying the garlic bites. We will definitely be back! Friendly and informative staff
I recently had the pleasure of dining at Alioli Ristorante, an Italian restaurant that left a lasting impression on me. My family and I have specific dietary requirements; my father is a meat-eater but allergic to seafood, while my mother is a vegetarian who doesn't like mushrooms. However, the staff, especially Antonio, went above and beyond to ensure that we had an enjoyable dining experience.
Antonio was incredibly kind and hospitable, taking note of our dietary restrictions and providing suggestions that catered to our needs. For my mother, he prepared the Butternut Squash Ravioli, traditionally made with mushrooms but made without mushrooms for her, and it was absolutely delicious. The dish was expertly prepared, and the butternut squash filling was perfectly seasoned.
For my father, Antonio recommended the Lamb Chops, which were tender, juicy, and bursting with flavor. The meat was cooked to perfection and seasoned just right. As for myself, I am a fish lover, and Antonio suggested the Pan-seared Seabream fish. The fish was fresh and perfectly cooked, and it came served with couscous, which added an extra layer of flavor to the dish.
We finished our meal with the Tiramisu, which was appropriately sweet and incredibly soft. It was clear that the dessert had been made with care and attention to detail, almost as if it had been made to order just for us.
The ambiance of the restaurant was also lovely, with soft lighting and cozy seating arrangements. The service was outstanding, and the staff went out of their way to make us feel welcome and comfortable.
Overall, I highly recommend Alioli Ristorante to anyone looking for exceptional Italian cuisine and a memorable dining experience. The food was outstanding, the service was impeccable, and the ambiance was perfect for a relaxing evening out. Thank you, Antonio, and the rest of the staff, for making our evening so enjoyable!

Grabbed a couple panzerottis one early evening this week. First time here, and it definitely won't be the last. Sauce, dough and other ingredients are great quality. Prices are very reasonable for this quality also. Owner is friendly and pleasant to deal with. Since it was the last order, he even delivered it himself.
Definitely give it a try!

Packed with a great vibe on a Saturday night. Seated at the bar. Our Bartender, Courtney, was absolutely fantastic. Service was top notch. The food was out of this world from beginning to end. Wagyu carpaccio - absolutely delicious! Aranchini with sauce to die for. Veal was perfect - tender. IL Salvatore pasta melted in your mouth. Cocktails by Courtney were delicious and very creative. And the Tiramisu - wow. We had a great night and can't wait to go back!!!
We discovered this place in 2020 and go there when we can. The food is great and the service is great too. Except, during the last visit, at 615 PM. We were told they need the table by 8 PM multiple times. While there were a couple of tables available on the main floor, we were led upstairs to an empty space (felt like eating at home and not a restaurant), the food was somehow lcaking in flavor and the Server seemed to give off a vibe like he did us a favor by giving us the table in an empty room. He did his job, but the atmosphere was not top-notch. I met the owner the last visit and she was lovely, but this time.. just came away slightly disappointed. I'm not sure if we are going back there.
PS the Tiramisu and the Almond Salad were awesome!

Owners are super nice and make fantastic pizzas, very accommodating when we ask for barbeque sauce, instead of tomato sauce base. Best takeout pizza in all of Victoria
Pizza from here is usually great, ordered tonight an hour before closing. Asked for a pizza with “bacon, mushroom and tomato” and I got this, the bacon doesn’t even look cooked at it has olives on it and now they’re closed and I can’t do anything about it. I can’t eat olives either so now I have to figure out something else to eat and wasted $12.
Great pizza, always warm, nicely cooked cheese. And very consistent, I would recommend the garlic bites to anyone who hasn't had them. They are balled pizza dough, cooked then covered in garlic butter
***SAVE YOUR MONEY*** I was looking to celebrate my birthday with a nice meal and great atmosphere. The service was great and the decor was a bit dated. I ordered the margarita pizza and it was the worst or close to the worst pizza I've ever had. The dough had tasted like frozen pizza, stale and dead. The appearance was not much better. For the price they charge for their food I would have expected better quality tasting food.
Their pizza looks nothing like the one on their website.

Kind and friendly family business that provides an extra step of service. Our family has been ordering pizza from this location for 35+ years and we have enjoyed every yummy bite. Hands down, best pizza in town is located at Tillicum Rd/ Burnside Rd Cosmos Pizza 🍕.
If you want to have a great dinner night, this is not a place to go.
We ordered the carbonara pasta and the gorgonzola pizza. The pasta was way too salty so we had to reorder again. (even though we asked to redo it but it was still too salty to eat). The pizza was just average.
The server was nice but the service was TOO SLOW.

Can't beat the pepperoni pizza!! Delicious. The people who work here are so friendly! 😁 a bit more expensive then the chain places but trust me it's worth it!
The best pizza in town! They use quality ingredients, there is cheese all the way to the edge of the crust, they have the best in-house dipping sauce and very friendly staff! We order fairly often and are never disappointed. A bit pricier but worth it!
The pizza is alright. We ordered 2 medium 2 topping pizzas plus wedges and sodas. The wedges were better though.
Incredible food experience. Authentic Italian flavours and they have a new drink menu as well with amazing cocktails! The food has this beautiful homemade feel that makes it very special. Super friendly staff, prime location, and I was very happy with the prices given the quality of the food. Fully recommended!!
We ordered a Butter Chicken and Tandoori Chicken XL Pizza with Onions, Capsicum and Coriander with a Butter Chicken Gravy Sauce Base.
It was tasty!
I would have liked slightly bigger toppings or more in quantity but it wasn't a cause of complain.
I wouldn't exactly call it a dine in place its best to take away your order to the nearest park.
An XL Pizza cost with 2 cans of pop cost me $28 with tax.
Overall a must try place!
I'll go there again for sure!

Great food. Great waiter. Service could have been faster but that depends on where you may be seated as we were closer to the restrooms stairwell. So watching customers walk back and forth while waitstaff tried to balance their walk without dropping cutlery was most of the scenery for us. Not everyone wants to sit outside on days it is 30+. Nonetheless a great place for foodies. Thank you Quanto Basta for the great dinner and cocktails!
Food was delicious and the staff were really friendly and attentive. Went here for Winterlicious on a Wednesday evening, and ordered deep fried rice and meat balls as an app, steak and mushrooms with truffle sauce, pork tenderloin in a Riesling sauce, and cheesecake. All really delicious - the sauces for the meat mains were amazing. Would come back to this place.
We always have really good experiences here! Definitely the best pizza around. Everything from the crust to the taste to the value for your money. The owner is such a nice person and very hard working. Always opens the box for us to show us the pizza before paying which is very sweet and very smart professionally. They also carry vegan Daiya cheese!
We get the coupon packs from Costco so it also makes it a bit cheaper!
