had a wonderful experience here for valentine's day. the limited prix fixe menu had some items not offered on their usual menu. i especially loved the cacio e pepe balls (i wish i remembered what they were called 😭). our dishes came out fairly quickly, and ephram was an outstanding server! thank you for the lovely & romantic dining experience, nodo!!
Whenever I am home I have to grab a pizza! Best pizza in NS!
A beautiful dining experience. Very popular spot, with perhaps a few too many tables for the space. Very noisy with guests all seated close together. Cocktails and dessert were both wonderful, waitstaff all great!
1st time here my wife had char fish meal and I have panzorroto wow just wonderful...one of the most flavourful meals I had in a long time. Menu options aren't overly large juat perfect amount to choose from
.. found glass of Wine to be a little pricey and the fact that I asked for a little more sauce for my panzo resulted in additional charge. Otherwise the place food atmosphere service fantastic!

My husband and I live in the area. Couple of days prior we walked by the restaurant and in looked very cozy and the smell outside was amazing. We decided to try it. Very disappointed! Firstly, the beer I ordered (in a can) exploded on me when I opened it. We ordered the mussels in tomato sauce to start, a very generous portion and smelled amazing, but to our great surprise it tasted like nothing and water. No salt no garlic nothing. After that I got the gnocchi in rose sauce (as our server called it “the pink one”) the gnocchi was store bought, heavy and undercooked. My husband got seafood pizza, all the seafood tasted defrosted and bland. This place has so much potential, only if their chef would taste and care about the food he’s putting out.
Food was excellent! I can’t decide what my favourite dish was as they were all so good!
I went here with my fiancé and friends for a dinner out. The food was delicious and the atmosphere of this spot was lovely!
The restaurant is nicely decorated, and in the summer it has a beautiful pack patio. The light is soft and romantic, and you can see into the kitchen where the chefs are hard at work.
I got their mussels in a white wine broth, and they were cooked perfectly. The broth was light and flavourful, and the bread was perfect for soaking it all up. My fiancé got their Chicken Pasta Pomodoro Al Fresco, and he loved it! To split, we got a slice of their carrot cake for dessert. It was moist, fluffy, and delectable!

Had a very enjoyable meal here. Went on a Saturday night and reserved our table beforehand, which was good because it seemed very busy. Highlights were the arancini which was delightfully crispy, the paparadelle with mushroom ragu had a great rich flavor and generous portion, and the tiramisu that was not too heavy at the end of the meal.
Some disappointing points were the bruschettone that was too doughy, and the topping was bland, not enough (or any) garlic, lemon or balsamic to give it a kick and tasted only of oregano and olive oil. Just won't order it again. It was also a bit loud with music on the louder side and some unruly children, which were obviously not the restaurant's fault.
Service was great and the price for a three course meal for two in a nice setting was very reasonable. Was a good choice for celebrating my partner's birthday. I'll be returning for another special occasion or date night.

Tried their dine out breakfast, salmon croissant, and two of their hot chocolates from their hot chocolate fest. All so delicious!!
The place was lovely to sit in and had large beautiful windows for natural light.
I am sure it’s not typical but my waitress was entirely impossible to find. It was very slow that morning and every order or need I had to flag her down.

This is a quaint little spot with a lot of heart. The ambiance is casual and classy at the same time. Staff is helpful, friendly, and attentive. The menu is varied with lots of options for the vegetarian in our party. It was hard to decide what to order. One guest ordered a kale/brussel sprout slaw salad to start, and the four of us shared it to try it. It was delicious with a light dressing. Several of our party went with the garganelli which was delicious, and even though it has a cream-based sauce it was not heavy. The portion sizes were perfect, and we didn't leave feeling bloated like what often happens with other pasta dishes at other restaurants.
We will definitely be back to try some of the other menu offerings.

Really great food and excellent service! It’s homey and cozy with a perfect price point! Absolutely loved it
This cozy shop offers some of the best sandwiches I have ever eaten! They have an amazing vegetarian option and if you love your protein, their veal, and chicken sandwich is great for the price and size, and the flavours melt in your mouth. All of the sandwiches are price-friendly, and very yummy!
Long time, classic local pizza shop. Great food and always nice atmosphere.
Amazing food as always . My 2nd visit and definitely will keep coming back. My girlfriend and I enjoyed our dishes immensely. We went on a busy night on New Year’s Eve , not rushed out even though the tables were all booked for a 2 hr period . The owner and waiting staff are very kind , the food is so authentic and genuine, amazing level of quality and flavour. We will keep coming back! Definitely recommend!!
So glad I discovered this spot! The food was amazing. I highly recommend the Tagliatelle Al Pesto (pictured). During the warmer months, they have a few tables on their front patio, which has a view of the CN Toronto. Super good spot and would be good for a date too!
What an incredible night we had at Nodo.
The food, the place, the service. Everything was just amazing! Since we were a larger group, we were on the second floor - which looks amazing btw - and it just felt like a nice diner at home. Liam was our server for the night and he is such a wonderful, patient, funny, and professional human.
I booked a table for a larger group and they accommodated us with no conditions such as deposit or fixed menu, which is rare in Toronto nowadays and makes everything much easier. This was a birthday surprise and the management made sure all the staff was aware in order for it to work until the last minute. The communication while booking the table was also excellent.
1000/10 highly recommend this place if you want to spend a very much authentic, low key but elevated diner ❤️

We really enjoyed Rosina restaurant! We tried the pesto pizza and the braised beef ravioli. Both were tasty! I expected the pesto pizza to be a little more pesto-y but it was for sure tasty! The dishes were very reasonably priced. Highly recommended!
Ordered on UberEats and forgot to add sauce on the side. When I called them the guy who answered was so good. Told me he would add sauce on the side and when I asked him if he could charge me through the app so that I could pay for it he said “no worries it’s on us” this is why I continue to order from them and the food is outstanding!
The spicy bomba fried chicken I had it in a regular size and the meat and bomba sauce was very tasty the sandwich bun itself was a little cold I would've prefer it toasted or warmed up but none the less here's why I'm giving this a 2 star
All though the food was alright just be aware if your ordering pickup on apps I had the spicy bomba chicken sandwich which came to a total $20.20 after tax on ritual for a pick up order. Doordash and in store cost $14.47. Keep in mind both of these apps are at the clinton location. I already reported to ritual about this charge and emailed this establishment about the situation and hopefully it gets sorted out for me.
Again either call in to pick up or use a different app I don't know why they claim to have a "fair price" in the neighborhood, even if they are trying to cut out the ritual's commission fee it's way beyond the 10-15% threshold.

Perfect spot for a date night! It’s moody, dim, and the staff is so attentive.
My favourite dish was the anchovy bruschetta toast. Packed with flavour. I highly recommend added the anchovy for that extra salty kick.
I got the truffle pasta and the octopus for mains. The truffle pasta was really buttery and the pasta was cooked perfectly. I did feel it was a bit one dimensional. While the truffle pieces were a nice crunch, it was essentially just buttered noodles. The octopus was cooked to perfection. The sauce it came in was too salty for me and didn’t pair well with the pasta. I kind of wish the waiter would’ve let us know that those two entrees don’t compliment each other.
Overall, I had a lovely experience.

The food here is so amazing. I love the meatballs and arancini. The pesto pasta was delicious. The staff are amazing and provide great service. I definitely will be coming back.
So... My server was great and the location is really nice. That out the way it's a restaurant so I rate on food. St Clair has no shortage of Italian restaurants so you have to do some to stand out. Bruschetta was on a pizza that was kinda cool. Flavor feel short for me, then I ordered a pizza that should have been a flavor overload so I was excited. It was floppy, and bland. This place may be for someone but not me. I am spoiled married to an Italian that is a great cook so my bar is high.
I had high hopes for this place, but unfortunately the food is very mediocre. The best dishes I had were the Octopus and the Beet Salad. The rest of the dishes can definitely be improved on a flavor level. With that being said, the service was great, just a bit slow. It gets busy in here so I highly recommend you have reservations.
My wife and I decided to check this place out since we live in the area. I’m from nyc and she’s a local. We came here during the end of summer. My wife ordered personal pizza pie and I ordered the mussel pasta dish. We were seated outside with another group but they were about to leave.
No one checked on maybe once when the server bought us the food.
The pizza was pretty average in a “ trending “ area and the pasta dish was pedestrian.
Keep in mind I’m from nyc dined from Carroll gardens bk, tribeca nyc , Hell’s Kitchen and etc. This is average.

I am so glad I chose this for our first Montréal dinner, as it was incredible. We shared the Caesar Salad and Meatballs, which were so good, we ate every morsel. I ordered the Gnocchi with Black Truffles and it was amazing...soft handmade pillows in a creamy Truffle sauce! It was so filling, I took more than half of it home with me. My husband had the Ravioli, which was different than any we've ever had before. Each Ravioli was filled with braised beef and in a rich porcini mushroom "gravy". We had a nice table and our server, who I assume is the owner, was very nice. We'd return in a heartbeat!
We had a group of 5 go out for a friends birthday and it is a gorgeous place to go out, I have also come here for an anniversary so the place is very versatile. As well, the staff members were very kind, and very willing to help you choose something you liked
Great no complaints food was great
Great little cafe.
I was a bit sceptical about it at first as there was a bit of mix up where I got the wrong order and then couldn't get the attention of any of the wait staff... But it was very busy at the time so I don't blame them for that.
However, They were incredibly helpful once I pointed out the issue to them and were quick to get the right food out to me.
The wait staff were all friendly, helpful and just wonderful.
The food was fantastic. Decent portions and not badly priced . (The potatoes are excellent! )
I would gladly go back to this spot and would recommend it

- caprese salad ***** (taste good!!!)
- grilled octopus ***** (taste good but a little pricey $28 for the portion as shown in pic)
- penne alla vodka ***** (taste good, and they separate the dish for sharing which is very nice)
- tiramisu *** (cannot taste mascarpone, just whip cream, not recommended)
- overall 4.5*

Dined here with my brother and Mom for an unconventional Thanksgiving lunch and we were fairly impressed! I asked for hot water instead of cold, and the server brought me a steaming mug with a lemon wedge—a very nice touch. We ordered pizza. My brother had the Regina (Nodo’s version of a Margherita) and my Mom and I shared a Regina as well as the Borgoricco, a pizza Bianca with zucchini, cherry tomatoes, and burrata. The dough was thin and crispy, though the crust on our Regina was a tad burnt. The flavours were well-balanced and there was a good distribution of toppings.
The restaurant is large and nicely decorated—the bench seats are comfy and I like the historical motif throughout the dining room. Though the servers were kind, their service felt discombobulated. Two servers tending to two tables is two too many; we were interrupted multiple times to be asked how the food was, if we needed more water, etc. I appreciate their attention but having both servers’ attention came off as bombardment.
Overall, it was a yummy meal and the restaurant had nice ambiance. Besides the extensive selection of pizza, pasta, salads, and more, they offer daily features. So, I would definitely return to try some of their other stuff!

Best wood fired pizza in Toronto! Nice atmosphere with a busy buzz to it. Staff is very attentive and friendly. Highly recommended.
Very rundown, they really need to maintain the restaurant.
Also food was really really bad. I got chicken and waffles and it tasted like freezer food.
My friend got the salmon egg benefit and felt like her food was too fishy. No good taste really. Save your money and tastebuds.
I was tricked by all the good reviews!

I’ve been a customer for 45 years. I arrived today to purchase veal on a bun and saw the ownership had changed. While I waited I reminisced with my friend about my childhood experiences…. I was feeling sad because the smell was no longer there. I remember that dad would buy 10-15 at a time to bring back to St. Catharines and the owner would give him olives and cacciatore for free…
My order was ready just as the owner arrived, he packed it up, brought it to me with a smile and said wait— walked over to the cooler and handed me a container of olives- he said- for you, you can’t eat these without the olives. It brought back so many memories- as soon as I arrived at the hotel and took a bite- the memories came flooding back! Same quality- the only difference is they use roasted red peppers instead of sweet peppers cooked in the sauce- slight flavour change but the quality was bang on!
I think it’s important for people taking over long standing businesses to try and keep it as it was! Some people try to make improvements and add so many other things to the simple long standing menu that worked!!
Thank you to the new owners- you made my day!

So disappointed. I lived on their veal sandwiches for years, visited Toronto after 2 decades and had one yesterday. Not the same as they used to be, nowhere near. California Sandwiches is much better (the best). Plus, the stairwell down to the restroom can't accommodate anyone with even a mild disability (not to code).
Me and my wife went to the Bellaggio Cafe in Hornby Street on a Friday evening.
They have happy hour from 3 to 6 PM every day.
We tried their Hugo and Lavender Lemon cocktails.
The taste was excellent.
We also had their truffle fries. The quantity was good enough, and the taste was delicious. Even though most of the restaurant was empty, we were seated alongside the other patrons.

I’m happy to share my experience at Florentia, an enchanting Italian restaurant that has truly won my heart. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with the utmost warmth and friendliness by Robert, who truly made us feel like family.
The menu at Florentia offers a delectable array of Italian delicacies, and we started our meal with the Cozze Marinara appetizer. Oh, what a delight it was! The mussels were cooked to perfection, tender and succulent, swimming in a rich and flavorful sauce that had our taste buds dancing with joy.
Moving on to the main course, we indulged in the Manicotti and the Penne Al Salmone. The dishes were prepared with utmost care and using only the freshest ingredients. The Manicotti had a perfectly balanced blend of creamy ricotta cheese and tomato sauce, while the Penne Al Salmone featured tender salmon pieces complemented by a delightful sauce. Each bite was a harmonious explosion of flavors, leaving us completely satisfied.
No Italian meal is complete without a decadent dessert, and we couldn't resist trying the tiramisu. It was the perfect ending to our extraordinary dining experience. The layers of delicate sponge cake soaked in espresso and decadently creamy mascarpone cheese were a true work of art. What impressed us the most was that the sweetness was just right, not overpowering, allowing the flavors to shine through.
All in all, our time at Florentia was nothing short of exceptional. From the warm hospitality from Robert to the incredible flavors, this eatery has truly captured the essence of Italy. I highly recommend visiting Florentia for a memorable dining experience that will transport you to the heart of Italy.

Oh Bellagio… you are a sweet as the maple syrup you serve. The ambience is unique and comfortable, the food was quick, delicious and smooth on the eyes, check out the French toast with fresh fruit..yummy! Eggs were fried just right as well. Thank you, we’ll visit again soon and strongly recommend others to do so as well. Ciao!!
Me and my friend tried this new restaurant near our house, and it was really good.
The staff is friendly, and the atmosphere is cozy. Also, the food is so delicious.
The music is nice and not too loud like in many other restaurants.

Breakfast was good. Wasn’t too noisy or crowded. The food took a little long. The staff was nice. A little pricey for breakfast.
Ordered the BBQ Pizza. It was very good. Cash only, a problem for me. But I knew that beforehand, so beware. No place to eat inside but you can find a picnic table somewhere.
I eat here quite often and recently ordered delivery from Uber and the penne Rosina was very different from what they use to have…. It was no longer a fresh homemade noodle and clearly seemed like penne noodles from a box.. the portion was much smaller than usual and I had about 1 small piece of soppresatta.
The tagliatelle pesto has barely any sauce on it and I’m not even sure there was any goat cheese at all. Noodles were also different than usual. Very disappointing.

Every time my parents come to Vancouver they make sure to have at least one meal in this place. It's a very nice cafe with really great food and friendly staff. Their location is fantastic, just a few steps away from the Fairmont Hotel, Art Gallery, and Pacific Centre. I've tried different plates over the years, but we were there for brunch a few weeks ago and the food blew my mind. We ordered virgin spritz, the Avocado toast, a salmon-avocado croissant and a chicken sandwich. All three plates were DELICIOUS! The potatoes had a wonderful texture, the poached eggs were perfect (not too runny and not too dry), the salmon felt fresh, and the avocado portion was generous. I honestly cannot wait to go again.
Mouthwatering pizza and a laid back cozy charm make this an excellent spot to go. Great service, excellent options, delicious food. 9.5/10!
I thoroughly enjoyed the atmosphere of the store. The culinary experience exceeded my expectations, especially the remarkably thin-crust pizza. Additionally, the staff members were exceptionally amiable and welcoming.
My husband celebrated his birthday here and had a lovely dining experience. The foccacia, gnocchi, borgoricco pizza and tiramisu were delicious and transported us right back to Italy! We would definitely go here again.
As long as you keep making your pizzas the same way. Don't skimp on making them smaller. We left another pizza shop because their large pizza was very skimpy. Customers would like to get their money's worth especially when they buy food.
Highway robbery with the "special" menu. $25 for egg noodles in butter and thin noodles with tomato sauce in a can.
We'd enjoy it at 3am after a few cocktails but 9pm on a Friday you'd expect better.
Cocktails were on point, atmosphere is always great. Make sure there isn't a special menu before you go

I came to this restaurant over the weekend as I heard it was authentic Italian. Well boy let me tell you.. this was the best authentic Italian I had in a long time. I had a bottle of white wine which was amazing, which had me telling our server this was the second best Italian which I meant the first. (It was their amazing white wine which mixed me up). I also had the best espresso martini in all of Montreal… no word of a lie, heart and soul was put into this martini. I travel a lot, drink espresso martinis on the regular, had Italian grandparents and I can say this is the most authentic you are going to find in Montreal. Amazing service, amazing food and amazing drinks. Thank you so much for making our experience the best. Will recommend this restaurant to anyone in Montreal who wants a good eat and good service!! I also thank the server for wishing me luck on my exam. Very personable, very professional and some of the best service I had in while. Thank you so much again, amazing time.
I dined here with a group of 4 people. The service was amazing and attentive. My friend had the espresso martini and it was the best one she ever had. All of our food was very delicious and the best pasta we ever had. We would recommend this place to anyone. The pappardelle was to die for. After paying for our bill we needed to approach the owner to tell him how great the food was. Shook his hand and told him it was the most amazing food we’ve had in a long time. Go here if you want some amazing Italian food!!
Florentia on Mount Pleasant west had been our goto italian joint in the recent years. We have dined in ( and ordered out) many times and has been overall a consistent taste experience. Menu is limited and has few good selections. Vegetarian options are good and welcomed. Seasonal menu items ( recently Burrata) are good too. The Pesto and Margareita pizzas are the best albeit have decreased in size and increased in price off late. Pastas dishes are good and taste fresh and flavorful as they made to order.
They do have a decent collection of local wines. Could expand on the dessert options from Tiramisu.
Service had been a hit and miss. Prices have increased post pandemic and portions could slightly improve.
Overall a good family dining experience in the mount plesant whereabouts.

We had dinner here. The food was ok, but pretty much disappointed from the 4.5 star rating that we were expecting. I ordered a grill salmon, it was boiled then grilled after so it has no favor at all. The steak was too raw, we ordered medium rare but it was like rare.
Absolutely loved this place. The mushroom tagliatelle pasta is one of the best (id not the best) I’ve had in Toronto. Also the Calabrese pizza is really tasty, with a balance between spicy and sweet flavours. We finished with a tiramisu, so you can’t go wrong there.
Staff is friendly and vibe is nice.

I came here for breakfast because of Google recommendations, I was seated by the hostes, I ordered my breakfast which was English breakfast tea and avocado toast. That was first time in my life when I saw fried potatoes with my avocado toast, food was playing and tasteless even after adding salt and pepper. There's just one egg on avocado toast. Some ingredients on avocado toast wear uncooked and it tastes like a uncooked mushroom. This place is definitely overrated and I won't come back here again.
Went here for dinner before a concert downtown. What a great choice. I had the tagliatelle with mushrooms, and my wife had the sausage penne, both were fantastic. Bruschetta to start was excellent as well. My wife was very happy with the cappuccino to finish our meal along with the Tiramisu!
The gentleman that seated is could not have been more friendly, and genuine too.... That's lacking in a lot of places these days, especially in the city. I commend this man at the door, and who also served us for the best service we have received in many years at any restaurant we've been to. Thank you very much, shame we didn't get your name!

The best pizza I’ve ever had in here. The crust was not at all doughy and loaded toppings. It didn’t get soggy after a while as well. Cherry was great. They also accommodate for vegan cheese. place to enjoy evening with friends. Great job guys!
I gave 3 stars for service because they have two staff doing about 30 jobs each.....please hire a couple more to help them out.
We were so hoping to have a great experience and unfortunately it was bland and boring very dissapointed next to no toppings, we paid for extra toppings that we did not get, kinda like cardboard, we ordered hot wings and they came with bbq sauce instead , the stuffed mushrooms were strange and not what we were expecting. We could have had a great meal somewhere else for the price we paid for pizza and wings was not worth the $125.00 dollars , never again 😞
We did not realize you closed at 9.30 our pizza being one of the last made the sauce was no where nere the usual amount the dough was far far from done .we have ordered from you before This time ?????¿??
We visited the restaurant for Summerlicious and were very impressed with the food! Appetizers were amazing, especially the orange salad 🤤 so refreshing with the perfect amount of dressing.
I had braised rabbit and just have to say… any meat exotic tastes like chicken lol
Cannoli was very rich and filling, we had to take one home.
They had some special drinks just for Summerlicious and we tried the cocktail called White Lotus. Highly recommend it if you like drinks that’s not too sweet. Perfect for the summer weather.

We spent our last evening in Montreal with a dinner at Salumi Vino and it was excellent. This cozy, beautiful establishment offers well-paced dining and delicious food executed elegantly at reasonable prices. The proprietor/owner serves the food himself and has great recommendations if you need them. The menu is sized to showcase quality and flavor in every dish. We loved everything we had and truly enjoyed our experience.
It’s such a cute little restaurant with really good pastas. I LOVE the olive dip that they bring with bread. It was so delicious and fresh. We tried the grilled calamari and it was also very good. Our main meals ( the pastas) were good too. The price with tax and tip was around 40. Considering we got an appetizer and a main course, I thought the menu is reasonably priced however they can definitely improve their service.
First of all many many thanks to the owner to greet us and giving us a warm welcome.
By far this is one the best restaurant in Montreal old port we have ever been - the greatest spot for a quiet and cozy meal. Well done to the chef also the service was quick and attentive. There is no doubt just by the great taste of the food that it was all home made - a true authentic Italian restaurant - a real hidden gem in the old port of Montreal.
Make sure to reserve in advance specially on weekends.

Today I got the chance to visit this famous Italian restaurant in Old Port.
To start with, I want to say a few words about the interior and the atmosphere inside. It’s very cozy and nice✨. All the details are perfectly combined, simple and sophisticated at the same time.
We ordered a starter, pasta and ravioli with the homemade sauce 🍝. I loved the taste of each dish and they like brought me back to Italy 🇮🇹. Also I just can’t omit to mention the huge choice of wine 🍷. Everyone can find here something that he would like.
The service was excellent and the waiters took a good care of the customers.
Overall I highly recommend this restaurant in Montreal for everyone visiting or locals . It’s just a must visit.🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

We were looking for a good Gnocchi and found this place.
It’s has cool decoration and a very friendly staff.
Food is also great. The sauce at the gnocchi was amazing (could have a little bit more).
Not the cheapest place, but definitely we’ll go back to try others type of pasta.

You can try thin crust with smoked bacon, double smoked sausage and pineapple. That’s perfect. Pineapple avoids the greasy feeling of too much meat, or you can choose other vegetables.
The food and service at Nodo is always top notch. Every time I visit, we are always treated so well by the staff, the hostess as well as the managers that come by to check on us.
The food is always tasty, and the menu has so much variety to choose from. We usually get a bunch of plates to share which allows us to taste a bit of everything. My favorite dish is the old school gnocchi which I’ve had at least 15 times and it always tastes like the first time I discovered it. Chefs kiss!

Great pizza but don’t order when your hungry I placed a order at 8:30 and now it’s 10 still haven’t gotten it yet
Good friendly casual service. One I was craving calamari but they didn't have it in the menu. Pizza was good though I did find the carpaccio just ok. Cute little place.
Have had good pizza from here in the past, tonight's was complete garbage. $6 more than anywhere else for an XL combo for less pizza and poor quality, plus no pop. Never again.
Fantastic local spot! Food was fresh and prepared in an open kitchen. Wine pour was generous, fresh bread offered with a delicious olive, pepper, oil spread. We had one pasta special and one regular menu item - both were excellent. Authentic dessert made in house - the tartufo was exceptional! The service was prompt without being too overbearing. Clearly had a lot of regular local customers which says something! Highly recommend for an intimate date night!
Restaurant located on Queen Street but the main entrance is at the side street opposite the gas station. Quite a big place, and divided into 3 sections, a bar, and 2 dining rooms. Ambience quite good and tonight is Saturday and quite busy but not full.
Not a big menu and selections are limited. Appetisers are quite good especially the fried artichoke. Wood burning made pizza was also delicious. The pastas are audentate amd quite delicious. However, main course is less so especially the Florentina Steak. It was onlt warm when served and thus affected the meat's taste. Over priced as well for $200. COckage fee they charge is $55 per bottle.
Overall, recommended.

Food was amazing. People there were super friendly . Great ambience for a quite date night.. I love how humble the chef and the servers were ... Definitely going back for the food
The flavors were great for every dish. Pizza and appeys were the best. Pasta was a little under cooked and the steak and braised rib was just ok. Would love to come back here in the summer to use the patio.
It's been awhile since I've been back here, and now I know why. Got the eggplant parm sandwich. Good size, but the bread was a little old and the eggplant greasy. I like that all the toppings are included though and they don't nickle-and-dime. Service was very friendly and professional. The neighbourhood is still old school but the inside no longer has that charm I remember it to have.
Recently visited this location and it was a pleasant experience. Front of house staff are very warm and friendly, creating a homey feeling. The location isn’t that large however we were seated upstairs in a private room which fit about 14 people comfortably. The food tasted fresh and the presentation was lovely. I would recommend this location to my friends and family. Parking may be a little tricky but it is because it is on a main street. Restaurant was very clean!
It's such a lovely place in the heart of Queen West. My partner brought me here for my 50th birthday. We enjoyed the space and appreciated the eclectic decor. The service was wonderful, and our compliments to the chef!!! My sincere apologies for not taking any food pictures. I must have been distracted by the amazing company!! Thank you for the memorable experience ☺️
Ordered 2 calzones. Each offered 3 toppings.
We were surprised that there was no mozzarella cheese on them - just the toppings we ordered so good thing I had added feta. We thought it odd that we had to use cheese as one of the topping options so we went back to the Uber app to check. The only cheese option on the topping list was extra mozzarella or feta so we had assumed that cheese was included.
Because there was no mozzarella on the spinach/chicken/feta calzone, I opened it to add cheese. Some of the chicken pieces were pink. Photo below shows a pink and a cooked piece from the same calzone. In addition to this, I cut it into thirds - the 2nd photo shows that there were no toppings in the ends so basically each end piece was just dough and sauce

As an Italian food lover, I was very disappointed:
The veal scaloppini was under-spiced (or unsavoury!), and the Fungi pasta, which could’ve been flavourful with all the assorted mushrooms flavours, was actually tasteless, being like a bowl of soaked overcooked pasta in milk :/
Salad: no dressing!
Dessert: a hard no, too! It was a wrong idea to even go there being such disappointed by all the main dishes. So, not a surprise!
Environment: the salmon/fishy smell from the kitchen was all over the place. / People were too loud in such a small place. / Washrooms were not clean at all. / a fly was flying around our table the whole time. / the table next to the door-window gets cold with each person coming in/going out.
Staff: friendly, but too busy to take care of our table in time and properly.

Ordered a medium pepperoni at 5:01 pm for delivery and was told it would be 40 minutes. Called at 5:50 pm and was told the pizza was just going in the oven.
This was supposed to be our supper and the woman who answer the phone, did not offer any alternative to better the situation nor an apology.
We did cancel the order and hope others don't go through same ordeal.

Went here last Friday based on the reviews and it did not disappoint. The service was great, the food was tasty and fresh. The bruschetta was one of the best I've had in a long time! And the Tiramisu with the limoncello was the perfect way to end the night. The atmosphere is cozy and relaxed and they have a cute patio as well. I will definitely be going back for the Grilled octopus, bruschetta and some of the pasta dishes and of course dessert. Oh, and and it's a good price point.
First and last time I will ever order anything other than a slice! I look online at their menu and it says 41.95 for 2 large pizza! Order comes to 58 dollars before tip with delivery! They didn’t give the delivery our sauce so now I have to wait for someone to deliver the sauce for our pizza which I’m sure will be cold before we get it! I call the store to complain and they tell me they put their prices up! It’s now 48 dollars for 2 large pizza and THATS THE DEAL???? Not to mention the dough is like rubber! Unbelievable! Never again! Totally disappointed
If I had the option to give 0 star, I would. This place has been going downhill for the last few months. They get the order wrong 80% of the time. When I called to complain, the lady who answered the phone said she would give the message to the manager to call me back. The manager didn't even have the decency to call me. That was unacceptable and very unprofessional. I used to spend at least $30 per week at that place. There's $1500 less revenue for them for the next year alone.
Got a Pizza sub. Really good, roll was very fresh, tasty. Good prices, Cash Only. Was busy, but didn't take long, lots of phone orders and people picking up, so showed me that it's a good place to eat from. Kinda Mom and Pop like place. 🙂
A Charming Slice of Vegetarian Heaven at Pizzeria La Terraza 🤩🤩 It is a charming spot. The old-school interior and outdoor patio create a delightful ambiance.
Being a vegetarian, I was thrilled to find a wide variety of mouthwatering vegetarian pizza options. The flavors were exceptional, and the crust was just right. The staff and owner were incredibly friendly, making the experience even better. Cherry, Alex & Goran always remember the last conversations, making me feel i really belong here!
They are so generous & sensitive when there are kids around. I love the way they all always are cheerful. It just makes my day brighter.
The best part is dining at the patio. It's a very calming experience. 😌
Highly recommend!!
If you're in Kitchener, don't miss the chance to savor a delightful slice of vegetarian and Non-vegetarian heaven at Pizzeria La Terraza. I can promise you'll never regret it.

Rosina restaurant is usually great. Good and fast service and usually the most amazing pizza crust in the city. I have not tasted better. However, I am updating this because something has definitely changed. The pizza was very chewy and the sauce base also different. The service was still great but not sure I’m willing to return here. Used to be my fave spot and I’m quite disappointed. My friends who also frequent here have the same opinion.
Had a wonderful time here, the food, the wine and the service was exemplary. Excellent homemade bread, pasta and sauces. The tiramisu dessert was a wonderful finish to dinner. Massi was a great waiter and recommended some excellent wine. 5/5
This is a fantastic place for pizza. Generous toppings, finely chopped, with a light, crisp crust. Totally non-greasy, with a mild mozzarella and light sauce. The Hawaiian had tons of smokey bacon and ham. The pepperoni on the deluxe was very flavourful. This was my first visit but definitely not my last.
We are so glad that we chose Noce to celebrate our anniversary this year! The staff members were so sweet and set us up at a lovely table with an amazing view of Queen St. W. The wine, appetizers, main courses, and dessert were hands down the best we’ve ever had. The flavours were impeccable and the ambience of the entire restaurant was great.
We are definitely coming back again, one of our favourite Italian spots in the city.

Best pizza, blows chickies out of the water, smokes J&T'S BY A MILE, definitely the og of pizza I've had it since i was a kid and it's always been the best never had better pizza, In my whole life, my only wish is they never close down!!! I'll always be there minimum of once a week BEST BEST BEST PIZZA IN CAPE BRETON ISLAND!!! AND THATS A FACT!!!!!!
Sadly the pizza and sub quality of this place went downhill :( there's always too much cheese and the meat is never cooked enough because of the thickness of the cheese... when I ask for extra meat, it's like they add extra everything else to balance out and it doesn't... service is great and the atmosphere is awesome too but the quality of food has just declined :(
The service was fine, nothing to complain about there. No menu posted other than the specials is kind of a pain, looked it up online. Now, the food, for $10.99, for a donair sub, you really would expect more than literally one thin layer of donair meat. The taste was fine, but man they must be killing it on their margins with sooooooo little meat on it. It was really disappointing.
Great Italian restaurant! The plates of the day are to die for. I got the jumbo shrimp with fetuccini pesto sauce, it tasted amazing. The tiramisu was fresh and smooth... And the cappuccino was delicious.... Definetly a place to come back
Located right in the heart of Little Italy, I don't think this place has changed in over half a century. This is their flagship store and is the original one.
Their sandwiches have stayed consistent forever! I remember going here as a child with my father and I can barely eat half of a sandwich when I was a child.
I really like how they're recipe and sandwiches have remained unchanged. This is a very popular hang out has you get to see many people in the community there as well. I would highly recommend this place for anyone who loves authentic Italian sandwiches.

Just ordered take out and got Pizza Dan and carpaccio for dinner.
It was ok, very meat heavy...and the pepperoni was spicy, so I picked that off and gave it to my partner who loves spice♡
The app was ok I didn't like the oil over it...meat was bit bland...and had cheese sprinkled on it.
It was a so so meal for me this time round. We usually get the Pizza Sofia so think we'll stick to that choice as our go to...

The place is really cozy, friendly staff and the pizza is decent. Pizza is between $14-17. They also have salads and pasta like any proper Italian restaurant. The pizza was good, thin crust and good ingredients but it was a little bit watery on the middle.
