Culinaria is a beautifully rustic setting for any event, with menus that focus on fresh and local ingredients. We offer exciting a la carte dining experiences, with a number of featured tasting menus, as well as 5 private dining rooms to help you celebrate all your private and corporate events. We also offer team building events and cooking classes for all ages!
I was there for a corporate dinner and found this establishment well suited for parties, meetings and events. The food was more than decent, and the service was excellent. The wait staff was efficient and accommodating. They helped make the event smooth and enjoyable.
Nice to have a private venue for special occasions. We celebrated a 75th birthday. The appetizers were delicious, arancini balls especially! Main course I had was sirloin steak, mashed potatoes and vegetables. It was good, maybe a solid 3.5/5. The steak was not seasoned at all and didn't have grill marks either so the flavor and presentation of the steak could use some enhancement, it was done to perfection at medium rare. The potatoes and vegetables were great. We brought our own cake for dessert. The ambiance and decor was lovely, very clean and the staff were friendly and attentive. Free parking, easy location to get to. Depending on the time you go it might not be transit accessible. Also the washroom I went to were downstairs, very clean and lovely however I didn't see a washroom on the main floor to make it accessible making it challenging for elderly or those that use a wheelchair. Be sure to inquire about this as I am not sure if there was another accessible washroom on the main floor. Coat check at the front door but we were the only group there and the coat check seemed closed. We put our coats on the back of the chair. Not sure about pricing as this event was paid on on bill. Hope this is helpful. I would recommend trying this place.
Exceptional service and perfectly executed food. I've been here twice. The first time was for date night. We were in the lot dinning room which was very private and intimate. I had the salmon with the whey sauce, perfectly cooked and full of umami. The second time was for a corporate party. The prices were very reasonable compared to other restaurants. Especially for alcohol. And the events manager was very responsive and accommodating. 35 people in the downstairs party room was quite spacious. The location itself the Elliot house is gorgeous and full of character. Tastefully decorated inside and with a free coat check. I highly recommend this restaurant for special occasions.
My boyfriend and I went to the Sicilian couples cooking class to celebrate his birthday and we had a wonderful time. From the minute you walk through the door you’re greeted with warmth and care, throughout the entire night the staff was attentive and super friendly. We had the wonderful opportunity of being taught by Chef Michael he really took his time while teaching us step by step and answered any and every question. The food turned out delicious and we had a fun and great experience! We will definitely be coming back again! Highly recommended!
Event Date - Fall 2023 My husband and I used this venue for our wedding ceremony and reception location and were so happy with the venue, staff, food, and ambiance. Chelsea and Michelle (on-site event managers) were extremely responsive, understanding, and flexible and went above and beyond to accommodate our needs and help us coordinate our day. They allowed us numerous meetings with them on site to work out the details and took notes on everything so that this was all carried forward through the many months of the planning process since we decorated ourselves and did not have a wedding/event planner or external vendors. Pricing was very reasonable especially for the quality of both the food and cocktails-- all of which got many compliments on from our guests. We had 60 people for dinner and felt it was a good amount of space, though more would be doable but we felt it could get a bit tight. There was a-la-carte service occurring at the same time in private rooms off to the side but this was kept completely separate and we did not noticed at all, nor did it impact our ability to celebrate. It was extremely convenient to complete the reception and ceremony in the same location and have cocktail hour all in one place. Additional time is possible and reasonably priced if your event goes longer than you anticipate. Dance floor is also available but we did not elect to have this option. There was ample parking on site but extra parking is also available at the neighbouring church which Culinaria has an agreement with for bigger events. Washrooms are on the lower level and is something to be aware of for accessibility since it requires stair use. Tasting menus are available and had great portions/pricing if you have committed to the venue (tasting is still available without commitment but is priced higher). For an intimate wedding with great food/drink and great service, I highly recommend this venue. The staff can make or break an event and I cannot speak highly enough of the staff here, who clearly take pride in what they do and were so attentive and kind. Thank you so much to Culinaria and it's amazing staff, with special thanks to Chelsea and Michelle. You helped make it a perfect day!
We chose this venue for our friend’s bridal shower, and no regrets. Firstly, the communication with the event coordinators, Chelsea and Michelle, was excellent. They responded quickly and answered every questions we posed their way. They accommodated our needs, and we could see that they put in their best efforts to make our event extra special. We were given the Library room, and it was charming and intimate, befitting of 14 guests. On the day of the party, our lead server, Vanessa, was super approachable and helpful, and the other servers were equally ready to attend to us every time we called them. They helped us prepare the menu cards and customize our music and, for me, it’s the little touches that make all the difference. The food was decent, but how they prioritize their clients is the most wonderful aspect about this place. Bonus points because the washroom was beautiful. The fact that there was no one in the venue during our celebration truly maintained the mood and helped all the focus be on the Bride-to-Be. Thank you, Culinaria, for an unforgettable experience.
I had my wedding reception at the Culinaria, I must say it was a great experience. Michelle the coordinator was awesome, she helped and guided me every step of the way. On the day of the wedding, everything was set up within a timely manner, food was delicious and staff was friendly and courteous. Drinks were well made, and a lovely experience overall. I would choose them again if I was to plan another event in the future
My fiancé and i decided to have our engagement party here and it was absolutely perfect! Since booking Chelsea was so helpful, and on the day of the event she was there to assist us. All the staff members were super friendly and extremely attentive. All my guests loved the space and everyone cleaned their plates as the food and appetizers were so delicious! I highly recommend this place for your next event! Thank you for making our engagement party so memorable and special!
We had our company Christmas dinner at this restaurant. Fantastic service and food quality was amazing. Highly recommended!!!
Simply amazing food, drinks, and service from the staff! Had an office holiday party and had a great time.
This please is great for small to medium size Events. They have huge cousin selection including halal, vegan and vegetarian
Good food and service
Visited for conference..Great meeting venue
My partner and I attended the Mexican cooking class led by Ken and it was a fantastic experience with incredibly tasty food. In fact I just emailed him for one of the recipes we made! Couldnt recommend it more.
Went for work related event, great service, good settings and food
Good food.
There are two components to this review: 1) the critique and 2) suggestions to ameliorate: Critique: a) putting 10 people and one chef and one or two aides in a commercial kitchen that is 10 by 10 in 26 degree heat and standing without a place to rest for 2.5 hours is not conducive to a learning experience, especially for those of us who are older b) the chef has to explain what and why we are doing certain things e.g. why when making coq au vin do we start with bacon then mushrooms then onions etc. why the order? what is the history behind coq au vin etc.? similarly with the salad nicoise, unfortunately chef spent most of his time maniacally running around doing everything himself when there were two aides in the kitchen helping haphazardly c) the purpose was not so much cooking but learning as to why we are cooking as we are; for example one tidbit we learned was why carrots are orange (Hint Netherlands) and thats about it. d) Chef must focus on the history, and the whys in cooking procedures and shy away from humour especially when he appears uncomfortable in that area Suggestions: 1. reduce the amount of people so that the experience can be educational and conducive to what is being promised and prompts questions and discussion 2. Chef must learn to delegate e.g. have each aide stand by the table with the 6 or hopefully less guests and direct them as to what to do whilst he regales us with historical facts and understanding the WHY of what we are doing so we can become better cooks 3.Focus on the education of the guests and shy away from the doing. 4. A sidenote to your waiters take note that you cannot serve white wine at tepid room temperature or as an icicle. White should be served at about 45 to 55 degrees Fahrenheit to appreciate it. Places like this are important for our city and it is important that they succeed, but they must be open to constructive criticism as Ive posted herein. Bohdan
Such a quaint place. Good was excellent and the service was also great. I recommend this for small parties and events.
Hosted a wedding celebration dinner here for our group of 40. Booked out the main floor so we could have a live band. The planning process was easy and comfortable, really appreciated Stefanos expertise, willingness, energy and sense of humour. The event was just right - everything went quite seamlessly, the staff were highly attentive and gracious, food was great, and everyone had the best time. Thank you again for giving us such happy memories.
We signed up for a couples cooking class and the service and staff were amazing! Jalen, our executive chef, ensured we got a full hands-on experience and patiently taught us the various knife/utensil and cooking skills. We would highly recommend signing up for their cooking class with so many cuisine options!
We hosted my moms 60th birthday celebration and the hospitality team was FANTASTIC to work with. Thank you to the entire team, especially Adam, Stefano, and Marylena. The food was enjoyed by all, the portions were sizeable, and the team accommodating.
Very nice establishment
Had a company event, Chef Kevin was amazing. Provided entertainment and amazing service to our party. Definitely will visit again. Highly recommend and a great team building event
This is a wonderful place to plan your next social or corporate event. I ve had several corporate events planned here and they go above and beyond to accommodate! Stefano and his team are great to work with and the food is absolutely fantastic.
I had the pleasure of having dinner at this restaurant for the first time, it was a celebration for my aunts 70th birthday. We had approximately 50 guests. At first the outside of the restaurant does not catch your attention because it looks like a regular house however until you walk inside you can then appreciate the beautiful ambiance of this restaurant. It is a rustic yet contemporary old vintage home that was renovated to a beautiful restaurant where you can hold any type of event from date night to bridal showers. AMBIANCE: We were met at the entrance and greeted and directed to our reserved room which was beautifully decorated with five tables each table held 10 place settings at each setting there was a personalized menu which was pre-planned by my cousin ahead of time. He was able to connect with the restaurant and create a three course menu which included red and white wine, juices for the children and we were able to have a tab at the bar. The servers were exceptional they were always coming around filling up water asking if we needed to top up on the red or white wine and they were very friendly and very professional. MENU: The first course was either the soup of the day which was a gorgeous spicy creamy soup or fresh garden salad. For the main course we had a choice of chicken with vegetable medley and red wine sauce, salmon with asparagus and sweet potato mash or a pesto pasta for the vegetarians. For the kids they had a choice of oven baked cheese pizza or chicken tenders with fries. For dessert there was a choice of blueberry cheesecake or raspberry sorbet. The white wine was well balanced and not too dry the red wine was a little dry and was best paired with the main course. OTHER: We had a table set up for the birthday cake pictures and we were able to set up a speaker for music and a microphone so we can make speeches the rooms were well laid out where if we needed a little more privacy we could close the doors but if not we left them open and everyone was able to walk around and mingle with such a large group we were pretty comfortable. CONCLUSION: Overall exceptional service, excellent atmosphere, great food. Highly recommend Culinaria for an upgrade to your average family gathering or your next baby shower, bridal shower or graduation dinner. It is truly a Hidden Gem in Mississauga.
DJed a wedding here... Staff was super helpful! Went above and beyond to make guests happy and food was amazing!
Amazing Location! DJed a wedding here, the staff was super helpful! Went above and beyond for the theyre guests and the food was Phenomenal!
Excellent food and service for lunch in an attractive formal setting. Good wine list. Reasonable cost for the setting.
We came for our wedding anniversary dinner, and just like during our actual wedding years ago everything was splendid. Thank your for welcoming us so warmly and making it so special again. The food was delicious . The service was incredible. Culinaria has a special place in our hearts. Thank you all for everything. We can t wait to be back .
Great food!
Ive been here a handful of times and the food is always amazing. Love the ambience as well. Feels very cozy. Would be there more often if I lived closer. Definitely recommend and will continue to return.
Food was pretty good. Caesar salad was tasty but was awkward to eat as it resembles a wedge salad. The lamb was decent, a little tough though.
I like it that you make it better for me
We had a great time for a Xmas party this year. Was a great location 3 minutes from Brampton and Etobicoke. The theme is a old home but with some modernization and twist. The food was very good a good steak and my associate had a great hunter Chicken. I would have given 5 stars only think missing was a touch of desert and coffee service but I would gladly go back anytime. Good experience.
Great food
Took the Mise en Place Home Chef Cooking Class. Kevin and John were great, very knowledgeable and personable. Got a good number of tips and tricks to take home and built on my limited knife skills. Great experience, good value for $$$, and am looking forward to taking future classes.
The Culinaria would have been a complete 5 star had the food not been cold. Understandable though, due to having to serve over 10 people at the same time, but Im not a Michelin Chef, yet I know you need to keep em warm while waiting for other dishes to serve. (The Manager apologized though but...) On the upside though, the individual spaces make for a private dining experience. We loved the fact you could close the doors, eat, and merry without anyone but wait staff opening the doors. The food was really nice too... Another downside of the night was having limited staff... the one lady mustve felt overwhelmed. Catering to multiple people requires adequate staffing. All in all....an experience Id like to repeat, even if its only to get it perfect.
We loved the cooking class
Excellent service, atmosphere, food -staff were exceptional! Would highly recommend for both personal and business enjoyment.
Excellent experience doing corporate team building
Great restaurant. Service was stellar and the food was amazing I just wish they gave more as the portions were tiny
We took the Tuscany cooking class and thoroughly enjoyed it. The atmosphere was fun and chef Ginni did a great job of guiding us through the steps to make our dishes. Food was great and love that you share all the recipes for us to make at home. Will definitely go back for another class.
Attended a business dinner here and attendees had multiple options to pick from. The soup tasted good but came out cold, the main dish was so bland and terrible! The meat lacked flavour along with the side veggies ! The sweet is a modern version of a no bake cheesecake, called on the menu Cherry cheesecake but all cherry you taste is the canned cherry on the top!
I got food poisoning from there. They got 1 item of my order wrong and another cold and not as described. Definitely not happy about the experience.
Went for Valentines Day dinner last night. Food was amazing, great portion sizes. Atmosphere and decor were lovely. Staff were excellent - our server Kyle was wonderful! Will definitely be returning.
Wonderful meal, atmosphere and service as always.
Great service and great product highly recommended
Amazing
A lovely baby shower experience. The staff was very nice and the food was tasty.
Wonderful dining experience...service was excellent and food was delicious!
Always excellent food
Great corporate event. Good facility
Steak was cooked medium rare perfectly!
This is my second time planning a large corporate event at Culinaria. The first was in 2019 and the latest being this past week (April 2023). Each event consisted of about 60 people and was extremely well received by all participants. For this last round, we did the in-kitchen cooking experience and the blind taste test exercise as a team building event for our guests. The experience was awesome. Everyone had so much fun and the staff were knowledgeable, attentive, and very entertaining (and of course, the food was A+). If youre looking for a team building event, I highly recommend Culinaria!
Culinaria hosted our Business Dinner Event on April 18, 2023. All the execs and board members from overseas had a wonderful experience. They loved the food, service, and atmosphere. I received several job well done and great choice compliments from my bosses - thank you Culinaria, you made me look good too. Will definitely book here for future events. Thanks to the friendly wait staff, and great chef - and Michelle (event coordinator) who was so friendly and easy to speak with and made it such a breeze to put it together. Dont hesitate to book any gathering or event here. You wont be disappointed.
A huge thank you Culinaria staff for making my daughters bridal shower a very special afternoon yesterday. Staff are great, so pleasant and accommodating, and the food is bang on delicious. An excellent experience working with Culinaria, highly recommend them for any event or gathering. Many thanks to the staff for a beautiful event.
Always a good time with the kitchen staff and good food.
Nothing impressive. Good for hosting business events and business lunches. The staff did the job as expected. The food and plates presentation was good but nothing to remember.
We met with Michelle and booked their big party room for a Baptism brunch and handed them a $2000 deposit and also signed a contract with them after seeing the space. Two weeks before our event, we called her to confirm, and she casually mentioned that we were moved to the smaller room for our venue. She couldnt give even give us a reason why. We were furious because we signed a contract and our party will no longer fit the space well. She ended up offering us a refund and we had to scramble to find another place 2 weeks before our event. Im assuming another event came up and she gave our room away and downgraded us. This is terrible business practice. We are well-connected in our community and have since stopped a few people from contacting Culinaria for their events and my company is nearby and I have conveyed to all my staff to not go here either. This isnt the first time Ive heard of this, there are facebook posts and reddit threads of other people this has happened to just a warning to stay away from this place for your events. Good luck. Apr 27 Edit: This response is untrue. Feel free to believe that culinaria s business policies were communicated , or the family who had to cancel because they were shown a room that was already booked and told based on their headcount they would be allocated it. We have the email from July 20 that had a count of 26 adults, 5 children and 3 infants, and a response that never included information we would be in a smaller room which exceeded the guest count. Not once were we informed we needed to reduce our numbers to fit a smaller room. We have the emails; check Reddit or Facebook groups; others have experienced the same. Seemed like a gamble was made and you hoped we would be submissive and take the small room while misleading us. It s truly unfortunate the owners or managers never apologized, hopefully you will be clear with future guests and no other family experiences this.
Very nice place.
I came for my friends birthday.We chose the tasting menu.All dishes are great and the staff were all friendly and professional.We had a great time.Defenately, we will come back.I hope they open weekend lunch hour.
Excellent place for celebrations or work dinners. Staff is lovely and efficient. Good food and drinks; accommodates large groups.
We are eternally grateful for finding Culinaria for our wedding reception! The space is incredibly charming and well decorated in an old century home, and added so much charm to our event. Everyone on the Culinaria team was so lovely to work with, and they went above and beyond to make sure our day went off without a hitch. The food was absolutely incredible and we still have people raving to us about how good it was! We were able to bring in our own decorations and even send our curated Spotify playlist to have on in the background too. It was the perfect location for our intimate reception with 45 people. Pus weve been here for the restaurant as well and they treat you like royalty! One of the gems of Mississauga.
Great food and friendly service
I have attended several cooking class at the Culinaria school, both couples and foodie nights. The class have all been an amazing experience being taught by Chef Archie Chef Ginni and Chef Taylor. Each one of class, was well planned out, the mise en place and step by step organization made for it to be a wonderful learning experience. As Paramedic I also loved the tempo of watching the kitchen staff prep meals and the attention to detail. If you are looking for a great educational night out, I would strongly recommend trying one of these classes. You will leave with full head of new knowledge and belly. Thank you Again. David
Celebrated my wifes 50th birthday at Culinaria. The staff were very friendly and accommodating to our needs. They answered all our questions and made sure we were comfortable. We had the place all to ourselves and the food was delicious! I recommend Culinaria for special events and celebrations.
Amazing Peruvian food cooking class with Chef Taylor. Highly recommend! great atmosphere, great value.
Have dined here on few occasions and I have to say its been a 5-star experience. Excellent customer service (our same waiter on 2 occasions was fantastic), food, atmosphere and venue!
EDIT in response to the reply I got from the business: the fact that you think you can come on the internet and lie and get away away it is insane. If I could post receipts here, I would. Your summation is a complete lie. I have never been given an email to contact anyone outside of the events email I used to communicate with Michelle. I called on May 27th at 11:53 am local time and spoke with a lady (whos name Ive forgotten, I think it may have been Laura or Lauren) and told her that I needed to speak with the owners, and that the way Michelle treated us was beyond unacceptable, and she took my number and said she would pass it along to the owners. That was almost 3 weeks ago, and Ive gotten no call back. To anyone reading this wondering if they should work with this business - dont. If you want to book this place for an event, dont work with Michelle, shes incredibly rude and condescending. This business lost a 35-person event contract because of her attitude. I cant speak to the food because we didnt get to try anything, we were so shocked by her behavior that we just left. She also now refuses to let me speak with the owners, or anyone else for that matter. Posting here in the hopes that the owners see this.
Such nice space! Attended a friends retirement part. Place was well organized, nicely renovated. Friendly staff. From the beginning to end the staff did a great job. Great finger food and apps were served! Will definitely go back to try their cuisines.
The ambience and the service is amazing. The food falls a little bit short though. I had the Bolognese pasta which was fine, but my family had the salmon and the Wagyu pasta which was highly seasoned.
Had a fantastic meal here yesterday. 4 of us, enjoyed delicious food and wonderful service. All of us agree that we will need to come back.
My children attended the summer camp and had such a fantastic time! Each week is themed and my kids brought home something different everyday for us to try! Not to mention, the food was delicious! They come home excited and wanting to show me what theyve learned.
The best restaurant in Canada .. is right here
I attended a bridal shower that was hosted here and omg, the food was delicious! Servers and atmosphere was great. I would definitely like to go again
Food was excellent Service was amazing
Most Excellent!!
An amazing culinary experience! We went for dinner and tried their tasting menu. Every course was delicious!
Food was not the best .. worst chicken parmesan I ever had
My sister and brother in law had their wedding reception dinner here & everything was wonderful! The staff were very helpful & professional & the place itself is very nice & welcoming. Highly recommend the margaritas, they re delish! Thanks for making my sister and brother in laws wedding a night to remember!
Underrated! Great venue and delicious food! Highly recommended and is truly a hidden gem in Mississauga!
We have been here 3 times and have been pleasantly satisfied every time!! Great friendly staff, exquisite experience, great food. Come here for a cozy, fine-dining experience. Bonus: their meat is halal!!
Our team building event was a huge success. The food was great too. I look forward to visiting just for a meal. I have high expectations.
Elegant restaurant, delicious food with beautiful presentation.
Great space, food is good and service is great. Pasta had an incredible basic sauce that was so much better than others with unnecessary things added to it. Steak was cooked perfectly even though it lacked some seasoning.
Outstanding customer service from Chelsea Scott in coordinating our upcoming work event. Chelseas responsiveness and thorough answers to all our questions have been exceptional. This marks not only our initial positive experience but assures us that it wont be our last. Looking forward to future collaborations.
We had an absolutely divine experience at this place! The staff who attended to us were delightful, and the chef and sous-chef were the absolute highlights. They were not only friendly and fun but also incredibly motivating with the group. Oh, I almost forgot to mention the food was exceptional, and the atmosphere was fantastic. A thousand thanks to the team for making our dining experience so memorable! Highly recommended.
Excellent food and attentive staff.
Amazing team building experience! Our office Christmas lunch was held there this year. We were in the kitchen preparing our gourmet lunch. It was amazing. The food was excellent, the staff were amazing and its such a cool place to visit as its a historical house with so much charm from that time period. Im glad we still have places like this to visit. It was a great experience! Ill be coming back for a couples cooking class!
Was here for an event. Gorgeous venue, lunch was fantastic . They are creative with their ingredients . Steak was overdone but understandable tough when navigating with a large group.
First time in this restaurant, beautiful location, great atmosphere. I am really thankful with the chef and his team because they accommodate my dietary restrictions (Gluten intolerant) and give me one of the best food ever. I recommend this place %
It was a good team bonding experience
Superb food and servicesssss
Great salmon and large portions. Set menu for the dinner we had was fantastic! The lava cake looked amazing too!
Excellent service and food
Service Excellent.. but for a Culinary school I was not impressed.. Ordered Ceasar Salad - The dressing made the salad look like it was old lettuce.. No bacon.. Had a steak was good but the portion of potatoes and veggies was waayyy to small. could have eaten 2 plates
5 stars!!! Booked at Culinaria before and now I m happy to say that Culinaria, once again, pulled through for our event. Our event is one of those COVID casualties (had to cut down guest count) and even at the last minute, we had to deal with another set of government restrictions. But throughout it all, the staff and management was very accommodating and understanding. They shared in our worries and helped us deal with all the last minute changes. Luckily, we were able to push through with our 21-guest count as all our guests were double vaxxed AND Culinaria gave us complimentary rapid antigen testing for all our guests. That really took away the anxiety everyone had and allowed us to have a worry-free party. The food, ambiance and service was of course top-notch! Will never hesitate to recommend Culinaria to all our friends!
The chefs prepared a visually appealing and delicious meal that was complimented beautifuly by the pleasant staff. Highly recommended! Cheers
Culinaria is perfect for date night, if you want exquisite food, in a cozy setting, and great customer service! Our meals were delicious and just the right portion size, but filling. We had the scallops, beet salad, kale caesar salad, steak, sea bass, and chocolate mousse for desert. SUPPORT THE RESTAURANT INDUSTRY!
Awesome customer service and overall quality of food and process, we loved our experience at Culinaria; Stefano & Andy are professional, experienced and looking forward to our future events at the establishment.
We went for Valentines dinner. Amazing restaurant, great food, everything is cooked to perfection, steak just needed a bit of salt and pepper, after which it tasted perfect. Shrimps were some of the best. Service is top notch - very polite employees. One small comment, given it was Valentines dinner, would have appreciated some nice romantic music playing in the room, instead of hearing the conversations of the tables around us.
Excellent food with excellent service; really enjoyed time with my colleagues.
My 10 year old is in the March break camp. It was an amazing day! Comments include I am so proud of my self! and I never thought I could use and oven and make crème brûlée - it was so good! Bring extra take away containers! She brought home 3 mains and 2 desserts! I could not be more pleased with a camp. Worth every penny!
Great service and food, a real change from many other food experiences. Many literal layers of flavours and textures to enjoy!
We just celebrated a family members 65th birthday and we loved our time there! The space you get is actually private and so it really makes it feel homey and intimate. Service is very professional, place is clean and looks wonderful. Food is delicious! Many of our guests commented on how great the place was. Would definitely recommend! The outside of the restaurant does not do its inside (service & otherwise) justice. Its worth the money you spend.
I can only speak for their culinary classes, and not the food in their restaurant.. With that said, the culinary classes are amazing! Chef Andrew and Chef Taylor are incredibly knowledgeable. They are very friendly and easy to talk to. Will answer all your questions and help guide you along the way to becoming a better cook. I very much enjoyed my 8 week boot camp.
A sweet little local spot, great food, good wine selection. Excellent staff and service.
Excellent food and service but pricey
Awesome service. Friendly and courteous staff. The Chef is awesome. The food was fantastic, the steak cooked to perfection and juicy. The ambiance is semi rustic with a touch of modern style which makes the place look and feel warm and comfy. Spacious place to have a private event.
Amazing cooking class, friendly staff, and fantastic food. All in a beautiful, elegant restaurant. Will 100% be going back!
Attended a breakfast function. Egg Benedict was ok, potato wedges was greasy.
Went for high tea. Its a very beautiful place but in terms of the food was kind of lacking. Tasted good just small portions, the dessert was the same thing I get from Costco.
Good event place, food is delicious, service is organized, Great banquet experience!
My 10 year old had a great experience at the summer camp.
I was super impressed with their childrens camp. The food was out of this world. And my daughter is begging to go back. Highly recommend if your child has an interest in cooking
Nephews wedding reception was held here. Very intimate for guest. Great service by the waiters, very friendly.
Where do I even begin ! My family decided to visit Culinaria for my birthday lunch and I am so happy we did ! Starting with the bread and butter to finishing our meal off with a cappuccino everything was ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS ! We had the black garlic Cesar to start, our mains were Frenched chicken supreme, grilled zucchini and the polenta parmigiano fries. Also the Lamb Tenderloin with roasted garlic mashed potatoes, after every single bite we would look at each other and say wow ! The restaurant is beautiful and our server Stefano was the nicest man we have ever met ! Best service we have ever gotten at a restaurant! He welcomed us as soon as we walked in, showed us to our table and even made small talk with our daughter ! Lol We would HIGHLY recommend Culinaria and we are already planning our next visit !
It was great
My husband and I host our wedding dinner here! Such an amazing night! Staff were so kind and accommodating! Shout out to Michelle and the whole team that brought this event together! Our family and friends came up to us and mentioned that we made the right choice choosing this restaurant!
The atmosphere, meal and service were excellent. The venue was beautiful. The team enjoyed their meal.
Great place to host your Wedding or special Event.
My wife and I had an amazing dinner at Culinaria today. Our server Stephan created a very friendly atmosphere and was kind enough to ask the chef to fry my calamari. The mains were delicious and the cherry cheesecake was the best dish of the dinner. Thats saying a lot considering I normally hate cheesecakes. I couldnt have asked for a better evening and will definitely be back.
Unique dishes with amazing taste. This is a hidden gem close to Mississauga downtown. The staff is polite and I loved the vibe of this restaurant. I would love to visit again in future.
Very elegant setting for a bridal shower. Everyone is professional and provided excellent service all the way.
First time here. Great experience. Celebration for a sweet 16 and she was pampered. Stephano was incredible. Very hospitable the chef made the experience worth every penny. Or dollar. Highly recommended. Do come and celebrate with your loved ones with this high quality for without leaving Mississauga!! Thank you Culinara. We will be back God willing.
Had my wedding reception there. Everything was perfect, had a great time.
Great food and great people
I love the atmosphere the service was very nice the bar drinks very well mix good parking and good food the pasta was very well prepared love it
The area was a little tight but the nibbles were good.
Great food and service. Beautifully decorated establishment
We had our wedding at Culinaria 9 years ago. We go back every year to celebrate our anniversary. The staff was so attentive during and before our wedding, the decor is modern, food is top notch and the managers are very nice. We love supporting small businesses like Culinaria.
Wonderful dining experience. Very private and quiet dining room. Friendly staff and exquisite food. The food is truly tasteful and delicious.
It is very well lit and decorated. Server Stefano was fantastic. Food was delicious, but portions were a little smaller than I would have liked. 4.5 out of 5.
Pricey but worth every cent.
An excellent venue to celebrate a special event. Plenty of menu options to accommodate different price points. Food, service, planning support, culinary staff were amazing.
The food was average. Not in great spot.
Cozy. Peaceful. Good food. Great Service!
Food was not as good as my excpectation stake was little to over cooked disert was bitesize.
What a great experience for everyone in our group! Michelle had it organized very well. Adam and the servers were attentive and efficient. The atmosphere was elegant. The food was primo!
Amazing experience. From service to the food, it was all 5 star.
Love this place. Attended corporate breakfast event and the place is cozy, good eye-soothing interior, courteous staff and delicious food. Loved the place. Keep up the great work.
We had the pleasure of having our Christmas dinner with friends this evening at Culinaria Mississauga., The food was excellent (as usual) and the service by Kyle was impeccable. Dave, thank you for booking the beautiful, private room. Happy holidays!!
What an absolutely delicious way to do a team building. We had way too much wine and way too much food and everything was fantastic
This is the 2nd time we book for staff Christmas dinner It s great place. You have your own room for your party and food and service is good
Its a delightful dining experience. Food is amazing. Staff is really polite. Great place for team lunches. Blind tasting was amazing. We learnt some new herbs. Food in itself is really amazing.
Authentic Italian food
Excellent, truly just the Best
Good was good but a bit too cramped in there.
We have been going here for years. Not only is it a great school but the menu changes from time to time to keep it fresh. Great wine selection too! Always a great night out!
Good location and nice clean decor. The food considering that we attended the big family function was quite good. The antipasto and the appetizers were excellent. The service was very good. The main courses were sort of hit and miss but overall very good experience. I would not hesitate to use them for my own event. This is an update based on a recent visit, three years after the original visit that again, I attended a family event and the experience was very symillar as the last time. In short, the place is recommended.
Amazing dining experience. This is a very elegant restaurant. Very private and quiet dining room. Food was delicious. However I was not pleased with our waiter. She was very rude, unpleasant, unprofessional and disrespectful.
Food was amazing, definitely will visit again.
Great food great service fun place
I ordered the Mother s Day High Tea set for 2 for $65+tax. The food quality was good and the tea provided was decent. My qualm was that the portion sizes were too small for the price. For $65 dollars we only received 3 sparsely packed take out containers worth of food and a handful of teabags. In all, we received two scones, two cookies, two finger sandwiches and two tarts on the sweet side, all bite sized. On the savoury side we received 2 beef appetizers, 2 salmon appetizers, two bruschetta topped focaccia, and two slices of a small loaf of rye bread, once again all bite sized. In all that s only 8 bites of food per person at $32.5 per person! Each bite sized item is priced at a little over $4 per item! All in all, if you are willing to splurge this isn t a bad choice, but just beware of the portion sizes.
A manager at this location continues to aggressively stand against those who choose to follow health and safety guidelines, such as wearing a mask. She also continues to spread conspiracy around the vaccine. I am very concerned about the safety of the customers of this restaurant, Peel has had enough COVID. Note she is also very confrontational if your opinion is different than hers. Please exercise extreme caution when ordering from this establishment.
Rustic & Refined at its best. The patio is charming & romantic, the food is delicious and the staff is fantastic. This is a very special place & an outstanding culinary experience!
This place is AMAZING!! It was our first time here. I came with my husband and toddler. The food is 10/10 (taste, presentation, freshness, etc.), service is excellent, they have their own garden so everything tasted so fresh, etc...their salad was my fav dish and then their apple fritter dessert. Thank you so much for a wonderful experience today.
Nice environment
Our experience at Culinaria started few years ago with couples cooking classes, we loved them and had lots of fun. So when we got engaged there wasnt much discussion about the venue - Culinaria was a clear choice! We held our Wedding Ceremony and Celebration there too. Chelsea managed the scheduling and organization of the event. Communication was always proactive, I never had to follow up, she answered our questions and modified and customized everything to our liking. The atmosphere at the restaurant is very elegant and intimate, service was above and beyond and food was incredible. We look forward to going back to celebrate more events there! Thank you Culinaria!
My family hosted my bridal shower at Culinarias and it was truly one of the most memorable events I will never forget. Culinarias is the perfect venue for any occasion and they managed to help my family turn my dream bridal shower into a reality. From the tasty food to the friendly staff, my guests continue to share with me how much they enjoyed the event and every aspect. Thank you so much to Chelsea and the team for all your help and I look forward to hosting another event at Culinarias in the future.
Six of us went for a birthday last night . We hadnt been since before Covid. I am glad they have a new menu but was disappointed in the choices. I was surprised to see burgers and fish and chips is such a high end place. I think pork should be higher end than pork bellies. Maybe tenderloin, chops . The appetizers were so limited. Again, higher end and more choices like shrimp , scallops etc. The desert menu was so limited, we didnt bother. The servings are too small. My steak was only a portion of a steak. We love the place and had hoped they would update the menu as it was getting old. I just think more choices are needed. The service was excellent and covid protocols great. One beef i had was the menu said service charge was included for groups but there was no service charge on the bill so we could have inadvertently stiffed the server.
Excellent food, warm and friendly staff, really nice experience.
Great service and great food
We went on Friday night and I must say this place was amazing. The beautifully refined setting made the evening even that more special. The food 10/10 and service was excellent. Look forward to visiting again.
Would like to thank Dave, Keisha and staff for coming through for our Mothers lunch after her funeral mass. In such short notice you came up with a game plan that exceeded our expectations . In our difficult time you provided our family , with a stress free situation in trying to feed a family of 40 +. All your efforts are greatly appreciated. Angelo Piplica aka Sal
As a banquet hall /event space, the size is best suited for events where you want a cozier, homier feel, as the ceilings are lower and the decor/colors are a bit dated. The food menu is typical banquet hall food but with a twist (the mushroom soup has Mido, for example) and done extremely well. Everything is made in house and they use local sustainable ingredients whenever possible, which is great. Service staff are very professional.
Great atmosphere, amazing service. Im a vegetarian and had the Savoy Cabbage; it was delicious!! My wife doesnt usually like lamb but our waiter recommended it and she loved it.
I had my wedding here on October 2021. I loved the venue, the food and the service! Although, the food took a little longer but hey, it was worth it! The event manager was very easy to talk to, I ve probably emailed her a million times and she s always been quick, informative and friendly in her emails. I would recommend this restaurant/venue for any event really! The place itself has a nice vibe to it, we were able to set up the place the way I wanted it to be! You can be really creative with the space! Overall, they made our day extra special!
The entire team at Culinaria are amazing! We wouldnt have been able to pull off our wedding in 3 months without their help. The planning process was seamless, and the ambiance was perfect! Best part is that Culinaria has so much character so additional décor wasnt necessary. All our guests raved about the cocktails and thoroughly enjoyed the food. Highly recommend the salmon, it was cooked just right. If you are looking to host an event for your family and friends look no further!
Attended a work party there recently and it was a fabulous experience! They are following all screening protocols, and the staff are courteous and attentive the entire time. Theres a great variety of menu options to suit everyones tastes including vegetarian (salmon and risotto was delicious). Desserts and drinks were excellent...I literally cant think of anything to improve upon. Looking forward to going back soon!
Amazing Venue, Excellent Meal and Service. Our second staff Christmas Dinner. Steak was tender and done perfectly. Sweet Potato soup was excellent with a splash of mint. Hors DOeurves were delicious. Would liked a more gingery taste for the gingerbread cheesecake but decent. Tiramisu was smooth and soft and not too sweet. Smaller and more personal venue. Neighbours were a bit noisy but forgot to ask staff to shut the door to their room. We would go back.
Good atmosphere, food was delicious.
Great experience if you get to prepare your own meal. Lots of fun, great tips and amazing meal.
