We visited Abbiocco last night for our anniversary and had the best time. The service was great, our server was super attentive and checked on us frequently. The food was amazing, I highly recommend the macaroni, I'm still thinking about it now but it is so good! This is probably one of our favourite restaurants ever.

I had high expectations, so perhaps this review isn't fair, but my expectations were not met. I ordered the chicken parm, and what I thought was mozzarella sticks, but it just turned out to be a single piece of breaded mozzarella cheese. The parm was dry and flavourless. Food without taste. The portion size is great, but it's the flavour experience that matters. This just didn't have it. That mozzarella chunk is just bizarre. Why would they have this on the menu? Just offer traditional mozzarella sticks, please. The atmosphere also doesn't work for me, unfortunately. Much too open, and there are too many seats right in front of windows. The staff is friendly enough, but I won't go back here. Sorry.

Perfect portions, delicious food. Manager took great care of us and the food was some of the best I've ever had. Chef Jane is incredible at what she does and PEI is lucky to have her. Will be returning 100%.

I had the pleasure of dining at Abbiocco Italian restaurant and I must say, it exceeded all of my expectations. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with warm smiles and a cozy atmosphere that made me feel right at home. Nick was an excellent host . The menu boasted an array of delicious options, but the pizza, meatballs, and ravioli were truly outstanding. The pizza had the perfect thin crust and flavorful toppings, the meatballs were tender and packed with flavor, and the ravioli was cooked to perfection with a savory filling that left me craving more. Not only was the food exceptional, but the staff went above and beyond to ensure that my dining experience was top-notch. They were friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable about the menu, making excellent recommendations and providing prompt service throughout the meal. Overall, I cannot recommend this Italian restaurant highly enough. Whether you're a fan of traditional Italian cuisine or just looking for a delicious meal in a welcoming environment, this place is sure to impress. Don't hesitate to pay them a visit - you won't be disappointed!

Great menu, great service. Not the usual faire even for Italian. We walked in and were seated quickly. I had the gnocci, it was fried, flavorful and very filling.

Had a bit of a wait for our food (20 minutes) because it was so busy. The food was very good, the service was excellent, but there were a few little things that struck me as incongruous. There were cloth napkins, but no table clothes, fashionable light fixtures with burnt out light bulbs. Maybe we had to long to look around.

Abbiocco Ristorante in Charlottetown, PEI, offers a delightful Italian dining experience with a focus on quality and simplicity. Seasonally rotating menu showcases Italy-inspired dishes that are both innovative and comforting. The restaurant's calamari is a standout appetizer, perfectly crispy and tender. For main courses, the beef dishes are expertly prepared, and the parmigiana is a crowd-pleaser. The homemade pasta and pizzas are particularly noteworthy, demonstrating the kitchen's commitment to authentic Italian cuisine. Abbiocco's wine program is thoughtfully curated, offering an exciting and accessible selection that pairs well with the menu. The attentive service and cozy atmosphere contribute to a relaxed dining experience, making it suitable for various occasions from business meetings to intimate celebrations. The restaurant's beautiful decor adds to the overall ambiance, creating a warm and inviting space. With its convenient location near Province House National Historic Site, Abbiocco is an excellent choice for both locals and tourists looking for a taste of Italy in Charlottetown. I loved the Tartar and Bruschetta, if Anne should imagine appetizers, she couldn’t do better than these.

Everything about this place says 'high quality'. I love how the chef tweaked the flavors of the dishes just ever so slightly with interesting, fun ingredients. The atmosphere was very cool with contemporary soft alternative music playing. Service was high class. Staff were friendly and helpful. Places like this make visitors fall in love with PEI.

I loved artichoke and voodoo rigatoni the most, it ll be hard to forget about those two. The only thing i didn t like about the place was the music that completely don t match the vibe, but it s just a background noise that you can ignore and enjoy your company:)

We ate on Saturday after the pride parade, the food and service was top notch. I had the tenderloin and Nancy had the chicken. Both dishes had a amazing explosion of flavors, and to go along with the food was one of the best waitress we have ever encountered on pei, she looked after us as if we where the only ones there. But she was incredible busy and did an amazing job. She definitely needs a raise, she was doing the work of 4 people and it was flawless. Thanks for adding to our amazing night.

I want to like Abbiocco, I really do. But my excitement since their initial opening has waned. After a recent visit (one of many since theyve opened), Im resigned to not returning any time soon. The food quality and portion size both seem to be declining with time. During my most recent visit, the pasta was very overcooked, with the noodles glued together in a mushy mess. Some tables appeared to receive complimentary focaccia (the norm on my previous visits), but our table did not. The service was adequate, but also seems to have detoriated with each of my subsequent visits. Overall, my sense is that Abbiocco set out to be an upscale Italian eatery -- something that Charlottetown was sorely missing. Im not sure theyve successfully managed to realize this aspiration.

★★★★★

Unfortunately my first time eating at Abbiocco will be my last time. The atmosphere is nice and our waitress was great and gave us good service but the food was so disappointing. We ordered a Caesar salad as an appetizer and I was shocked at how bland it was. Our pasta was not fully cooked and my dish was not the most flavourful. For the price you pay you d think the food would be outstanding. Not in this case. So disappointed.

March 21, 2024

The atmosphere and service were the best parts of this restaurant. The windows gave the whole place a nice open feel, the music playing was actually really good, and the seating was unique. I love dining in restaurants, and I was really looking forward to trying this one. Unfortunately, the food left me feeling undeniably disappointed. The squash ravioli had rubbery pasta, and I felt the filling could have had a bit more squash taste rather than just that cheese flavour. It was covered in oil, and even the walnuts it was topped with were so oily. The first few bites were okay, but I was glad the dish wasnt bigger. The gnocchi was honestly really gross tasting, but it was returned with no issues whatsoever, and its replacement, the chicken parm, was much better. However, the quality of the first two mains ordered turned me off from the restaurant. Overall, the service and atmosphere were wonderful, but the food wasnt as wonderful, and my expectations were let down.

Went there to try the new place and oh boy was it not good. The place does look amazing and I have heard good things but maybe they were having a bad day because the food was terrible and they only had one wait staff on.

January 21, 2024

The decor is really nice but Im afraid I have to give only 3 stars. The staff was really pleasant and welcoming and remained so throughout the meal. The wine is way over priced, glasses are so small for the price. We sort of had a laugh at how small my husbands glass of wine was when it arrived at the table. This was only a foreshadow of the meal to come. The main courses were good but portions were so small. This left us with plenty of room for dessert. We ordered a bombolini to share. When we looked at it, again, we laughed. We paid 12 dollars for a tiny dry bun about 3 in diameter with a bit of custard inside. It was so tiny and not at all decadent as youd expect from a fine restaurant. There is no bread offered when you sit, we didnt have salad or appetizers we had two glasses of wine, one glass of draught beer and the bill was $88 before the hst. Im sorry to say I will not come again anytime soon.

Fantastic Italian food, great cocktails, attentive services and all at a very reasonable price. The deep fried artichokes were light and crispy. The Amaro-Ita (my guess is Italian version of amarita) is very tasty and the old fashion with candied organe is great too.

★★
January 21, 2024

The cocktails and food are overpriced for the small portions that you received. I ordered the chicken parm and it wasn t even a full chicken breast. It was the smallest piece of chicken I ever seen. I basically paid $30 for spaghetti and sauce. It was truly disappointing. I can t say I ll go back anytime soon. It s too bad as the atmosphere is nice.

Bland choice of menu options. For an Italian restaurant it was sorely lacking in pasta. Meagre portions and either over spiced or not enough flavour. Our staff party was asked to move from the semi private area we had booked to allow another group to use the space. Far too expensive for what we received and how we were treated.

★★★★★

Great service and chef was very accommodating with adjusting items on the menu. Beef tartare and Caesar salad was excellent. There was no Arriabiata pasta on their menu, however, the chef made me the most delicious pasta dish. It should be on the menu. We will definitely go there again.

We had a great experience. The steak tartare was delicious. I had a really good ravioli on lamb ragout; perfect flavours. A really good glass of Malbec and a cappuccino and decadent chocolate cake.

Loved the food from cocktails to apps to dinner and dessert. The service was extremely attentive and went out of their way to find us a wine to match the one we wanted (but they were out of). My only complaint is that dining with Ju Jitsu going on above you is not ideal but not anyones fault.

A beautiful restaurant that we were looking forward to trying for our first time. I must say first the service was excellent, I m not sure the young lady s name but very attentive and professional. We were there at 4:00 Sunday April 23 2023. The food was a disappointment though. Very salty (3 of 4 dishes), I personally had the fettuccine and not only was it too salty but I dried out on top as if it was prepared first and sat under a heat lamp waiting for other dishes. I was truly hoping for a positive experience but fell short.

If I could I would buy a loaf to take home. The pizza was good but the pastas were amazing! We tried the caprese cannelloni and the linguine. The cannelloni was to die for and the linguine was very good as well. Over all atmosphere, music and service was all great. We were celebrating our 1 year anniversary and the chef brought our dessert for us as well. We enjoyed our time immensely.

The food was very good-yes I d say the best selection of Italian offerings in the city. I do think a small full size burrata would be nice instead of half-presents better too. The halved cherry tomatoes were fantastic. The Italian sausage was nicely seasoned without too much fennel. We were a large group and the food arrived relatively at the same time. I don t recommend this restaurant for kids. The pizza looked amazing but kids left them barely touched, not their style. I like the crescent booths however they are for 4 not 6 (atmosphere 3 ) Colour scheme and fixtures modern don t really match the plate wear which is more rustic clay for holding heat. Just my observation.

We were drawn in by the special posted outside; scallop carbonara. Warm & friendly welcome, and we were seated immediately without a reservation. Beautiful dining room with intimate & comfortable spaces. Our server was fabulous. Turned out the special wasnt the special, but they offered to make it for me anyway, bonus! Awesome truffle focaccia with pancetta to start, so tasty. Then my husbands meal comes out and mine doesnt. The food runner is completely unaware, and assumes were sharing one dish. Turns out a glitch happened with the printer and the kitchen didnt get my order, but they were making it asap. After waiting, I told my husband to go ahead and eat his food. He was finished before mine hit the table. The dish was stunning and almost worth the wait; first bite and the fresh hand-made pasta was undercooked. The sauce and scallops were amazing, and the manager offered to have it remade but I was done. They comped my carbonara. Overall, I loved this place. Beautiful and simple decor, cozy and refined seating, attentive and engaging staff, and most of the food was delicious and made with care. We will definitely be back to try them again. -1 for the undercooked and late pasta.

Excellent food and service. The caprese salad was by far the best Ive ever had. The burrata Imparted a creamy texture to the dish that you dont get even with fresh mozzarella, and the marinated cherry tomatoes added just the right touch of garlic and salt. The ravioli filled with goat cheese and butternut squash was great, and the combination with grilled pears and pan fried pancetta created layers of sweet, savory, and salty.

I went to Abbiocco the other night, and I was very impressed with the quality of the food. The restaurant was not only beautiful, but the waitress I had was kind and attentive, which truly elevated the overall dining experience. What stood out the most was her genuine willingness to accommodate my preferences. I initially ordered a drink that, upon reflection, I realized might not suit my palate. She not only understood but graciously offered to replace my drink with an alternative of my choice. Her flexibility and customer-centric approach were truly commendable. Its rare to encounter such a level of understanding and genuine concern for the customers satisfaction. I highly recommend this place to anyone seeking not only delicious cuisine but also a level of service that goes beyond expectations.

My husband and I started off with the tartare and caesar salad, they were lovely. My main, the pappardelle, was definitely underseasoned, and very blah! Were all for simple and elegant pasta dishes but for this one, featuring fresh papparedelle, cream sauce and black truffle it was very bland and flavourless. We also felt the service was a little absent. Over the course of the hour we dined we had a total of 4 front of house staff visit our table, non of which we could figure out whether or not they were our server or not. The restaurant itself was very beautiful. Overall though it isnt enough to bring us back.

We were really looking forward to this restaurant opening but it didnt live up to the hype or publicity. The decor and wine list were great but the experience went downhill from there. Trying to book a reservation was frustrating and the service was substandard. It was noisy with music much louder than necessary. Staff was inattentive and not well trained for the anticipated service. It was really over priced at $150 for two drinks with one appetizer and two entres. Hopefully it gets alot better.

Great experience!! Had a very enjoyable evening with friends and family. Scallops were fantastic, ceasar and greek salads were the best in Charlottetown, pizza was perfect and the chocolate desert was to die for. Thanks for a wonderful evening. Will be back for sure. The executive chef,Alyssa, even came out to make sure we were happy. Thank you

Visually, the place is stunning. The food also LOOKS very appetizing. We ordered the insalate and the Calamari and it looked amazing when it got to the table, but it tasted very bland. Food needed salt. BADLY. We were hoping our pastas would be better, but it was more of the same. Very bland, under-seasoned. Almost like the chef wasnt tasting the food. After that, we decided to skip dessert. Service was ok. Not great. Similar to the food. Hopefully they figure it out, we were really looking forward to it.

The Ravioli dish Hmm just eat before you come. The meal is empty and the lamb is non-existent. The music was loud and does not fit the vibe of the restaurant.

I went to this place on May 12th for my birthday. Food was okay, not alot of flavour, and tasted bland in the dishes I ordered (Rigatoni/Almond ricotta cake). The Mortadella pizza was delicious though! Service was okay but not great. Our waitress was still adapting to the menu it seemed and wasnt sure of some ingredients (italian terminology). This place is visually appealing to the eye! I will be back for a second time BUT I sure hope things will improve in taste and service or I will not return/recommend. I know theyre new and got some kinks to work out.

I came to the restaurant with high expectation, but left disappointed. I like the fact that the restaurant is close to downtown, and has stunning decor. However, the food and service were not great. Our group ordered four different pasta dishes (Gnocchi, Fettuccine, Spaghetti, Pappardelle), all of them fell short of expectations. I would give the service 3 stars and the food 2 stars. Hopefully things will improve in the future.

Food was very salty, bruschetta arrived cold and due to the newness of the restaurant we had a server that wasnt adequately trained. She was lovely but not well versed in presenting wine by the bottle.

If youre looking for a lovely spot for a drink with great atmosphere, this is the place! We sat at the gorgeous bar and were served by an incredible bartender who knew how to whip up a French 75 and a Lemon Drop in zero seconds. We had many and they were all delicious. Highly recommend!

First time to this wonderful new restaurant . They had great atmosphere, the decor was stunning and the service was above and beyond! Thats without even mentioning the food - the meals at our table each looked like something out of a magazine, beautiful plates of food that tasted as good as they looked. You need to try this place. Its unique and needed. Great job Mike!

Service was great but the bread was not fresh and the calimari was overcooked. We both had pizza that was pretty good. The worst thing was how hot the restaurant was, the ac was either not on or not nearly cool enough. It made the whole meal uncomfortable, would not recommend.

Good service and food, délicieux but the mint and basil leaves are not very fresh and green. However, in general it was a wonderful experience here. The price is not high as well. Pizza and pasta with cheese are recommended.

Was super excited to eat here. I love Italian food and I was so excited that we were getting an Italian place near me. Unfortunately, my experience was lacklustre. Service was decent. Food on the other hand, not so much. The ravioli was such a small portion that even I (someone who gets full VERY fast) left hungry. It tasted bad. The $14 frozen ravioli from boston pizza is better. I did appreciate the variety of both alcoholic and non alcoholic beverages, though. The one I had was delicious. After dinner, I was very excited to try the tiramisu as it is my favourite dessert at the place I work. I was hoping it would make up for the not so great meal. Boy, was I wrong. I could barely even swallow the first (and only) bite I took. At first I thought it was just me being a picky eater. But I had my entire party try a bite and they all responded with disgusted faces and ew . I was so disappointed. I will say that the restaurant and decor is breathtaking. Super nice atmosphere that would be nice if you were just going for some drinks or small apps. Overall, I wouldn t go back. I wish I could, but for the quality of the food and the price, it s not anything special.

What a nice find! Beautiful restaurant with a very clean and homey feel. Our waiter, Patrick, was excellent. He has a good knowledge of the menu, and was very polite and attentive. We had the Calamari Fritti, which was cooked to perfection, the Scallops with Piccola Salad, and the Chicken Parmesan. We shared a Chocolate Tart for dessert that was very silky and rich. Everything we experienced was wonderful, from the food to the decor to the wait staff.

So good!!! We walked in with no expectations as we were visiting from Ontario and needed a break from seafood. This was one of the best experiences we have had at an Italian restaurant. The food was amazing. Best caesar salad, calamari, and spaghetti parm we have every had. Portions were great! Our cocktails were pretty much perfect! The atmosphere is so cool. Service was awesome. Definitely worth a visit if you re in the area!

So looking forward to authentic Italian food last night, as its my favourite. A lovely restaurant and great service however, the food was not as good as I hoped i had spaghetti chicken parmigiana and the spaghetti and sauce were good the chicken was like a rock and extremely dry. One of our group ordered the Risotto as it was on the menu and another ordered it as a vegan entree which was offered. The difference was very noticeable as the vegan had no flavour or cheese and the portion was smalller. Both were the same price. After being able to try both it was very obvious. Not recommend in future. Everyone elses was ok but nothing special. So disappointed.

Went there for my partners bday, we ordered beef tartare, ravioli, costolette di manzo, and two cocktails. The beef tartare was ok, wasn t too fresh whatsoever, now the entrees are both disappointment (it was wayyyyyyy too salty). Server offered to replace the entree, however charged us the replacement. Wouldn t go back due to the price point does not match the premium hospitality and the food was not worth the price point.

December 21, 2022

How can you be impressed with an Italian restaurant that charges you an up sell for Parmesan cheese for your pasta? What what?! Of course I agreed cause what Italian has pasta without Parmesan? After adding to my already very bland dish and noticing the flavour was different. Me to waitress: excuse me what kind of Parmesan cheese is this . Waitress: let me check with the kitchen, waitress comes back and says, it s Asiago cheese. What, what? Needless to say we never finished our meal as it no longer had the Italian pasta flair. I mean, the up sell wasn t a lot, however you would think after their mistake that I would of not been charged for the imposter Parmesan or at least apologize for the mistake and offer us something different. Never again!

We made a reservation for 2 and greeted by a very pleasant hostess and seated at a very nice table. Our main courses were Haddock and frutti di mare were I requested that instead of orzo they use fettuccine. They gladly complied. Both dishes were excellent. For dessert we had the chocolate tart, that was enjoyable and the almond cake. Something went wrong with the almond cake in that the ricotta was very salty as if someone used salt instead of sugar and the cake appeared undercooked. The service could have been a little more experienced. Otherwise we had a nice evening.

The worst dinning experiences I ve had at a restaurant on PEI, the service was horrible, didn t even give us water for our meal and had us wait over 20 minutes to pay (after giving us the bill) while the server stood at the bar and talked. The food, very disappointing. My pasta was undercooked and the other dish (Ravioli) was extreme small. We left very disappointed and will not be going back.

Went in with a few friends for dinner this past weekend. The atmosphere was amazing very relaxed people seemed to be enjoying their time, smile across the floor. Started with the antipasto at the table the mixture of meats cheese pickled vegetables grilled bread and the chilli honey was beautiful way too begin the meal. I ordered the Carni Pizza, asked if the dough was made in house which it was, beautifully crispy crust with a firm enough base to maintain structure while you pick it up. The flavours on the pizza we re complimentary, cheesy and with added little spice from the pickled peppers it was a delicious round up to an excellent dinning experience.

December 21, 2022

Weve eaten here before and had no complaints, but yesterdays lunch was appalling for a bill of over $80. Caesar salad was wilted and soggy, as if pre-made and sat in the dressing, and bacon bits dry and hard as a rock, not crispy. Our main dish, chicken parmigiana was equally disappointing - ice cold chopped tomatoes piled on top, undersized chicken thigh, pasta tasted pre-cooked with a soggy texture, tomato sauce unbearably salty. The one good element of lunch was our lovely server. Aside from that, we felt ripped off and vowed not to return.
