Don't forget to save room for dessert! You wont regret it.
Got the gnocchi and penne (added chicken to it) gnocchi was good but the penne was very salty. The chicken was also very salty - I could feel and taste a layer of salt on each slice. The portions are small and for the quality the food was quite expensive. The bread given to the table was very good and soft tho. Service was great and atmosphere was nice. The sea bass and seafood plates looked good tho so recommend ordering seafood if you go Would have given the review a 1 due to the food but the atmosphere and service was good.
We made a reservation for a Sunday lunchtime here, to have a stroll in downtown area and then have lunch. The lady who served us was very friendly and made sure we had everything we needed, right on-time. We were offered bread, olive oil and balsamic vinegar as a welcome treat. The balsamic vinegar was very tasty. We ordered “French 75” from cocktail menu, which was delicious and hit the right spot. For entrée, we ordered “Veal Parmigiana” and “Braised Short Ribs” (daily specials). They were both fresh and delicious and strongly recommended. We were so full that we didn’t get to try their dessert.
Absolutely incredible restaurant! My boyfriend and I found this while driving down the street and it was SUCH A GOOD find! The food was incredible! Takes you back to Italy and the service was amazing! Felt at home and the interior was so nice! The waitress was also kind enough to pack my leftovers for me (not something I experience regularly). Highly recommend you to go because we were pleasantly surprised!
A gem in the heart of Oakville! My husband and I dined here yesterday for lunch. A rare find! Absolutely everything was perfect…from the Brazilian Sangria, plating, delicious food, (we had the seafood platter for 2, which by the way included 2 meaty lobster tails) the coffee, creme brûlée, attentive and friendly customer service and atmosphere. 10/10! A MUST TRY. This eatery will be a returning favourite for sure! There is also a lower level lounge which plays host to live music on Fridays and Saturdays. Very much worth the drive from Guelph!
I’ve been twice and it did not disappoint either time. Consistent and great service provided on both of my visits by Rachel. She provided amazing service and was friendly and attentive. My compliments to the chef! Food was amazing! Extremely flavourful and delicious. They had all of our favourite dishes too. If you like Italian seafood this restaurant is a must try. You won’t be disappointed. Can’t wait to go back!
Such a quaint little find, right next to the Oakville square. Raquel/Rachel at the front was incredibly welcoming. The menu was wonderful to choose from. Lots of seafood and vegetarian options. We ordered lobster Linguine, Salmon and Sea Bass and all three dishes were incredible. The food palette was just perfect. We did decide to see what else was good and ordered the grilled calamari which is where things went south. It was a bit too chewy and tasted like charcoal rather then Calamari, but the restaurant were so concerned that we did not like it, they decided to not charge us for it. Overall the friendliness of the staff, along with the amazing food has forever committed us to visiting us again.
Love to find another seafood restaurant. Was hard to decide on my order. I ordered scallops as ana appetizer but was disappointed when our server came back to let us know they were out. Would be best to have server let the table know if any items are off the menu for the evening. We had grilled and crispy calamari at the table. The grilled calamari was way too much charcoal taste. The flavor dominated the taste. I would not order that again. The bread they serve is very good with table oil/balsamic. Mains - Salmon - very good. A bit too oily. Braised short ribs - great but a bit heavy. Chicken parmesan - large piece of chicken. Bone in. Lobster linguine- excellent. Large amount of lobster. We ordered rose prosecco but was served rose wine. Was a nice glass of wine but not correct order. Would be nice to have a carafe of water at the table. Took too long to have water refills. Overall, excellent dinner.
Great service!
Great place. Food and service were fantastic.
Excellent grilled calamari, outstanding pasta selections, and genuine service. I will definitely be returning.
Classic place and delicious sea food they are flexible with personal restrictions request and serve with love ! Good luck !
This place has a great atmosphere. Their food and wine selection were fantastic. My wife got the chicken Parmesan which was the perfect blend of crispy and juicy. I was able to get gluten free pasta and fantastic wine. Raquel was our waitress and she did a great job. Dietary restrictions: Great gluten free pasta.
We recently ate at Pescaraa . The reservation was simple to arrange friendly over the phone to give information. The stuff is professional helpful in addressing our unique needs. Thanks to Raquel was amazing, And provide excellent recommendation explaining the menu. The overall ambience was excellent and cuisine was more than met our expectation. Will go back soon for sure Salute
My husband and I had a lovely dinner, the food was great and so was the atmosphere. It was Saturday night and they also had live music which was nice. Would definitely go there again!
We had a very enjoyable experience from start to finish. Our server was fabulous and friendly. The food was delicious. We were pleasantly surprised with live jazz!
Went for dinner with a friend on a Saturday evening and what a lovely experience we both had. Service was exceptional and food was delicious.
great food and great service. definitely recommend.
Happened upon this excellent resto on a Sunday with a hungry crew of five. Service was welcoming and attentive, menu pleased all even though we had two selective palates to accomodate. Calamari fritta and beef carpaccio excellent starters, entrees were both generous and delicious. We were so sastified there was no room left for dessert. Host encouraged us to visit again on a Friday or Saturday when they have live jazz. This resto made our happenstance stop in Oakville memorable. Will return for the mushroom risotto and dog friendly patio next summer!
Parking: Great Greek platters and fresh-test. You will feel its just got out of the sea. Food
Went for a nice dinner on Saturday night! Ambiance was beautiful and the Jazz music made it even better. Service seemed slow which we did not mind and there were only two waitresses covering hostess, bar, bussing and serving. Couple parties walked in, sat and left due to the slow service. Ordered a bottle of wine with few apps- fresh oysters (very nice) but no cooking involved, burrata also nice but again not much cooking involved and mussels in Gorgonzola sauce (mediocre to say the least). Mussels had no flavour- seemed boiled and served with lots of the boiled water with slight Gorgonzola flavouring. Nothing else on them and absolutely no flavour. Entrees we had ordered sea bass, which was a small filet with no seasoning over a bed of beans in thick tomato sauce. Beans tasted like it just came from a can and extremely salty. Once we ended the dinner we mentioned to the waitress the food was very unpleasant. We were told the chef was not there and the sous-chef had prepared the food. We could not get out fast enough. Ended up going for dessert and coffee down the street. It was an expensive terrible food. As mentioned we could deal with the service being slow, but the food served in a fine dining to this poor quality and preparation leaves a lot to desire. We will not go back.
excellent service! very, very beautiful atmosphere. the waitress was very kind and professional!
The service was very good. Our waitress was Raquel and she was lovely and very professional. She recommended the sea food plater and it was amazing so much flavour in it.
Pescaraa is a very nice Italian restaurant with great food and the freshest ingredients. The chard octopus was AMAZING. Lovely abidance, light music with a smooth saxophone. Our server Raquel was delightful and very attentive, making it a perfect evening out with friends.
I tried the rigatoni bolognese and it was very flavorful, good portion size. The waitress was very attentive and friendly.
Good place for seafood food lovers with nice ambience
Loved the lobster linguini, chardonnay and tiramisu :) friendly service too
Great little restaurant.
Food and service were excellent - transported us to Italy! Raquel was an amazing server, we will be back soon!
Wonderful new spot on Lakeshore. Great selection of seafood and drinks.
We had a late lunch and the food was fresh and delicious! The service was excellent, and the Brazilian sangria recommendation was delightful. We enjoyed sitting on the patio; it was a lovely experience!
You Have Great Italian Food, Great Service And Great Atmosphere. ! ?
Absolutely loved Pescaraa! Raquel was so lovely and the food was fantastic! Such a delicious menu and a lovely new spot for downtown Oakville! They even let my little pup Calvin sit on the patio with us and brought him water!! Perfect spot!
On a Sunday afternoon, while there was only one other family in the restaurant, it took about an hour to get two salad and a dish of chicken parm. It was frustrating. The food was not very special, however, music and vibe was nice and servers were polite and friendly.
The place is wonderful...inspiring! The service was excellent, and coincidentally it was a Brazilian, Flávio, who was very kind, with all his Minas Gerais personality, which is characteristic of being welcoming. He suggested the halibut, which was divine Thank you Pescaraa. Ill be back soon!
an older man with a thin chin strap beard seemed extremely aggressive towards staff and customers, ruined my date night
My experience was amazing from the moment we arrived at the restaurant. The service was excellent by the Brazilian waiter Flavio. He helped us with the menu and drinks. The food was delicious and the atmosphere of the restaurant is very pleasant too. I totally recommend it! Food
Underrated restaurant in downtown Oakville!!! The food was great - we got the Lobster Linguine, Papardelle Frutti di Mare, Crispy Calamari, and Lamb Shank - we enjoyed everything, even the bread that came before the meals! The service was great, and they even had great live music (saxophone player) on the Saturday night that we went. Would recommend to anyone!!
This restaurant is a must visit in Oakville. Im not a review writer usually, hence no pictures to share, but we had the octopus and sausage, oysters, and mussels. I have to let people know that they owe it to themselves to eat here. The oysters were off the boat fresh and the house made accompanying sauces were exceptionally good and not overpowering to the oysters. The octopus was beautifully prepared and tender, the mussels as well. Everything was balanced and flavourful, but not overpowering the featured ingredient. Service was attentive without being intrusive and genuinely friendly. Put it all together and this visit made our day.
Raquel was out server and she was astonishing, John Pierre was our chef and the food was the best weve had in nearly a decade. The price was perfectly worth it, especially the platters. Perfect place to celebrate an event, as we did. Dietary restrictions: Good for gluten free food
Food and service are amazing
A hidden gem in Oakville, we went for date night and it was a pleasant experience, food was delicious, started with beef carpaccio, Caesar salad and seafood platter, following by a classic tiramisu and crème brûlée. Raquel went above and beyond to make our dinner perfect! Thanks!!! Forgot to mention that music was amazing!
Amazing food. Great service. We enjoyed an amazing time on the patio. Very attentive service by Raquel. Highly recommend.
Great Saturday afternoon on the patio. Raquel was a delightful host and the food and drinks were amazing. Great location.
I was served by a Brazilian waiter I was very well taken care of Cozy atmosphere
I went here for my Dads Birthday last weekend. Everything was amazing. The service was great, the food was even better. There was a man playing live music which made the atmosphere very nice. The food is homemade and very delicious. The focaccia they bring out is like nothing we ever tasted before. 10/10 would recommend.
Recently celebrated my mothers birthday at Pescaraa. We loved it. It was clean with a nice atmosphere. The food was really good and you got your moneys worth! Everything was delicious, and the portions were generous! I highly recommend this place. Will be back for sure.
The area in the basement is nice and cozy. It s at a good location. Food was bland and service was average
It is the second time I come to the restaurant and I literally always have a great time! The food is so delicious! Feel like Italy! I recommend their Spritz & Beef Carpaccio Food
What a wonderful evening at Pascara in Oakville. Great food. Service is awesome. If you are looking for great Italian food in Oakville this is a must!
Had a wonderful lunch at Pescaraa Restaurant. The staff was incredibly friendly. A gem in Oakville, will be back soon
We had a great experience at Pescaraa, Raquel was our host for dinner and she was terrific, very friendly and attentive with the entire family from the second we stepped in until we left. The grilled calamari was very unique and tender. We had pastas, perfectly cooked and the chicken part was next level, it wasn t processed, it was half a chicken deboned Highly recommended
Tried this new place that opened less than a year ago. The service is amazing. Raquel offered great service and recommended the perfect choice for each of us. My family and friends loved the place, the decor, the atmosphere. Will definitely come back!
Very good restaurant, fantastic food, very pleasant atmosphere and the service was impeccable, Raquel is very attentive.
Restaurant Pescaraa is a fantastic and unique place to eat and enjoy. They have great service, a wonderful atmosphere and great food. The waiter Tomi is very kind and very helpful. What particularly impressed me was that they had beautiful vine and coffee paintings for sale inside on the walls. I just bought one of them. I strongly recommend that you visit this wonderful place.
I love this place, the food is delicious and the service is amazing
What a great place! The food was excellent -The service was excellent - Great atmosphereAnd Top Notch food integrity 5 stars All day long. Food : 5/5 |
Our first visit to this restaurant and we were not dissapointed. Food, service, atmosephere was all excellent.
Went for appetizers and drinks. All was amazing! Has gluten free options. Service was fantastic. Would recommend and will go back.
Hi every one, please read this message carefully before you spend a cent in this restaurant. We have lived in this country around thirty years. When we decided to dine here we thought we d found a nice spot that had good food, a nice atmosphere and good service. We were disappointed on all fronts. We ordered starters and as did our friends, and we received ours after half and hour which came in the smallest size imaginable then our friend had to wait for an hour and half to get their muscles, then we asked the waitress to cancel the starter and get the main course, after one hour and half the food was terrible. It was undercooked, the fish had a very bad smell, the pasta uncooked, lamb very rubber and they took all the plates back and as none of our table ate any of their meal. The manger not professional at all and didn t even bother to apologize for the experience!!!! Save your money and go somewhere else.
Ate here for the first time on Sunday and had a fantastic meal on the patio, top notch service from Rachel! The sea-food platter for 2 is perfect, also the salad with the poached pear and walnuts (to die for). 5 stars will be back!
Awesome Salsa night on Wednesdays! Friendly happy place, highly recommended
Racquel was an amazing server - very courteous and helpful! Food is very good - great portion sizes of the appetizers and mains. Would highly recommend! Food : 5/5
Great live entertainment last night ! Myself and my girlfriend celebrated birthday last night and enjoyed live music at the venue.
The best Gnocchi you can have guaranteed !! Vodka penne also highly recommended. If you are a fan of flavor this place is great Food
Excellent food. Was delicious and portion size was perfect. Lots of flavour and service was great. Really looking forward to checking out their venue downstairs. Thanks for a great experience.
I went for drinks in their basement lounge and it was perfect. Beautiful decor and great music. The manager Tomi was exceptional and treated us well.
We were there last week for dinner and had an awful time. The food was overpriced, extremely salty, and arrived 45 minutes after ordering. The server was no help, he did not apologize for anything and was kind of rude. No wonder why this place is not busy do not get the sea bass or grilled octopus and italian sausage
I can t stress enough how good the food is! Chicken Parm was the dish I ordered. The chicken was so tender I could not believe it! Normally it s hard to have a crispy yet tender meat. The pasta also had a lemon taste to it which made the dish come together. Amazing music matching the elegant vibe. Good place to have some friends or coworkers over. People are amazing ready to help and tend to any needs. Very caring and great people!
Really nice food, excellent service.
Really nice place to enjoy Latin Thursday with my friends.
The mothers day menu was superb! Lobster ravioli was to die for !! Raquel, our server was amazing and attentive. I jughly recommend this new place
Made reservations for lunch on Mother s Day May 12, 2024. Upon arrival we were told that there was a fixed menu for $85, but we were in contact with the restaurant on multiple occasions prior and this was never shared. They were understanding and we were able to order off the regular menu, but not all items were available, including the kids menu. Overall, the food was meh, when compared to a few of the other fine dining Italian restaurants in the downtown Oakville area (there are several that I would highly recommend). The sea bass was not fresh and was a bit funky , the gnocchi was overcooked and over sauced, the pappardelle pescatore was unimpressive and drenched in a butter sauce, etc. We also had the espresso , and for an Italian restaurant it was also below average. The pour varied from person to person (1/3 cup to 3/4 cup full), and was very bitter. I would not recommend, when again there is better in the area with comparable prices.
I was disappointed with my experience here. They failed to mention their limited set menu for mother s day. Food and service was horrible. Will not be coming back.
I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for memorable dining experience. From appetizers to the desserts, every bite was delight. I ll definitely coming back for more
Best food i have ever tried. Will definitely recommend family and friends 10 stars
They have the best Seafood in the world. A quality of Salmon, Shrimp , Calamari etc.. is exceptional. Positive environment. Amazing servers who provide wonderful service. Definitely worth visiting. Delicious and yummy dessert . Food
Great food and great people! Would highly recommend.
Raquel was really awesome, very nice and accommodating! We had a really good time, this place has the best mussels and oysters, very fresh! Highly recommend!
We went for my Aunt s birthday tonight. The calamari had a perfect grill to it. My family couldn t get enough of the fresh, warm focaccia bread for the table. I personally had the braised short rib which fell off the bone, the mashed potatoes were fresh and flavorful. My family had the lamb which they shared the same comments as me and the gnocchi which they raved about. Everything was perfect. Worth the wait and will definitely return. Fantastic service. Must try!
The food and service is perfect. Ordered lam shank and it came out very good. Had the dinner here to celebrate my daughter s birthday and we had a very happy time together.
The newly opened Pescaraa Lounge downstairs, with its great vibe and plans for live music is filling a much needed void in downtown Oakville s nightlife. Their recent wine tasting event started with fresh oysters and a crisp Sauvignon Blanc, followed by four equally delicious courses, (including shrimp, scallops, and lamb) with wonderful wine pairings. All of the food was excellent, and we discovered some new wines. The service was amazing and the owner and chef were both very hospitable. As a bonus, we were treated to the great singing of Jeliz, accompanied by Duff Musiq on guitar. A memorable evening. Looking forward to a return visit in the near future.
The best seafood and steak we ever had! Such a beautiful restaurant, the food is beyond this world! Starting from home made bread served with olive oil and balsamic glaze to dip ( you will never stop eating it) to grilled octopus made to perfection (Dalmatian style), grilled calamari ( the softest and tastiest calamari we ever had), Chilean sea bass that melts on your palate! We have not had better seafood even on the Adriatic coast in Croatia! We also tried 60 day dry aged ribeye - it is the best tasting and most tender steak we have ever had! You do not even have to chew it how soft it is, it is grilled to perfection, smokey taste, Wow! Desserts are also great, creme brule made in-house; salads are amazing! Raquel was our server and she has provided excellent service!! Another nice gesture was a personal touch by the restaurant s owner, Tommy, to ensure guests are enjoying their food, meals are tasting good and to guest s expectations! Really nice and pleasant atmosphere, great music!!! After dinner, you can just go downstairs to a lounge/club to enjoy some live music, drinks and dancing. What a clever idea! This is by far my favourite restaurant in Oakville!
Great night, good food and great service.
The only good thing I enjoyed were the oysters and that s because they weren t cooked. The crispy calamari were mostly batter and the parpadelle pescatore was bland and oily. For the price we paid I was expecting better tasting food.
Arranged a scotch tasting for my father s 75th birthday. Tomy was fantastic! Very knowledgable with the different whiskeys, and paired food perfectly. Would 100% recommend trying! Can t wait for the next birthday
The lobster linguine was excellent. Order it with the cream source. A generous portion of lobster is included. I would encourage everyone to try the Croatian rosé.
We are glad that we visited this restaurant. Pasta, seafood, appetizers, everything is very tasty, decent and at a modern level! We thank the chefs for an exquisite dinner!
Saturday night my fiance and I decided to go for an impromptu date night. We went for a walk a long lakeshore and decided to go to random restaurant. We walked into 2 restaurants that were packed and had a short wait so we decided to keep walking until we found a restaurant with a spot. Came across Pescaraa. I cant rave about this place more, honestly. I didnt expect the quality of meal we got. It was amazing. I got the seafood parpadelle and my fiance got the braised short ribs. The best way to describe the food is you can tell it was with love. So much flavour. I will be back
The meal was delicious and we were treated very well. We werent rushed, we could take our time to enjoy all the flavors. I had the special. Sea bass...excellent! Looking forward to my next visit.
Hey..This location is amazing as well, as I have tried their best sizzler and steak. It was amazing whether we talk about their service or their food or their arrangements.. everyone should definitely go there atleast one time. Thank you Food
From the moment we walked in, we felt taken care of The staff went above and beyond accommodating our dietary restrictions, surprising us with a special dessert for our birthday, and making us feel like valued guests. Overall that s a wonderful experience.
Absolutely delightful..The food was exquisite fresh ingredients, perfectly cooked, and beautifully presented. The ambience was warm and inviting, making for a truly special dining experience.
One of my friend recommended it . Nd it was perfect in every aspect..food service andambience. Perfect.i am doing the same what my friend did..super .. Food : 5/5
We popped into this restaurant on a whim the other day, and were very happy we did! We enjoyed the charcuterie and some calamari, both of which had generous portions, were prepared well and tasted great! We arent from the area, but will make a point of stopping at Pescara again when we pass through again! Definitely recommend
Beautiful family restaurant with amazing service. We had the best lamb shank ever. Food was well presented, fresh and was delicious.
Service was fantastic and the meatballs were great! I would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone in the Oakville area.
We were there for dinner service last night and it was disappointing. the food is okay, but it took quite some time to be served.. The girl that worked was lovely, the male server was an interesting guy, he was all over the place and sometimes having arguments with possibly the owner or manager.. terrible look for the restaurant, the food is a little overpriced for the quality you get. overall, go to other local restaurants. The music from their basement was really loud and ruined our dinner experience.
Last night we had the best experience ever! Food was amazing! I had a Lobster Linguini Pasta with a Lobster tail so tasty! The girl who served us was excellent! Beautiful music and environment! Highly recommend! Food
Delicious seafood resto in Copacabana, walking distance. Very gourmet and cozy. Service was great very attentive. Reasonably priced for the amount of food and quality. I felt full but not in a gross heavy way. Fresh ingredients! Def get the seafood!
The reviews on here have to be fake or by employees because this place is just really bad it s noble bistro with a different name, the server kept trying to get us to buy wine bottle and the food took so long.
The place could be on the empty side during weekdays lunches. In return, you get full attention from staff. The food was ok, I was expecting more flavor/seasoning. However, its top-quality ingredients for sure.
I took a friend here to celebrate her birthday. The dining room was elegant but empty. We selected this establishment because its menu features fish and seafood. The special seafood platter we shared (at $110) looked amazingly abundant in the online photos but was disappointing in reality. It featured well-prepared grilled vegetables with a cross-section of fish and seafood served on a large wooden board. If the kitchen had served the same contents on our two plates, we would have been looking at one sautéed scallop, two shrimp, a tiny lobster tail, half a strip of overcooked salmon and a lot of oily (possibly frozen) deep-fried breaded calamari rounds, each. As it was her birthday, my friend ordered a five-ounce glass of wine which she deemed tasty. When I made the reservation, Id mentioned the birthday. Our waiter brought out a tiny chocolate lava cake decorated with raspberries. The service was good but the experience--given the cost-- wasnt special. There was no music playing and nobody but us. We could have been pampered and made to feel special. Instead, we just felt alone.
Beautiful, modern decore with historical charm. The food is delicious and the owner is friendly and accommodating. Last time we visited one of our children became sick and we had to rush home. The owner helped pack up our food as we got ready to leave. He was truly gracious and understanding. We ordered the seabass and lobster ravioli. Both were flavourful and the seabass was cooked perfectly. I noticed previous comments on the seabass and it seems like the restaurant truly listens to comments and have taken steps to make sure the food meets or exceeds expectations.
We stopped in here for an impromptu without reservations and were welcomed and seated at a nice table for two. The service was very attentive and the food was amazing. Warm bread and olive/balsamic oils were served immediately. We shared calamari - probably the tenderest Ive ever tasted, followed by a crisp Cesar salad, and veal parm and seafood pappardelle. The house-made tomato sauce was excellent and the pappardelle pasta was amazingly light in texture. The portions were of satisfying size for restaurant like this. They have a large and interesting wine list with wines that you dont see here, and the server was very good at giving advice about a selection and we were very pleased with it. Overall this we had an excellent experience and will return soon. The food is excellent and the atmosphere unpretentious.
Amazing seafood and lots of meat menu choices- we had the seafood platter for two and loved it. We went as a group of 7 and everyone loved it. . Great wine ( many organic options too!) and creative cocktails. Definitely recommend
Gnocchi was just ok. White sauce was great but some bites of Gnoocci were very chewy.
Food was amazing. Seared scallops done to perfection. Atmosphere seemed a bit dull but food was good. I would recommend.
Great Place, food and service. Highly recommended Food
When you go ask for Tomi .. Tomi was amazing as our server.. spot on with all recommendations for food and the drinks hanna custom made for us.. Spicy Lobster rocked.. Roasted Chicken was soft and flavorful and the medallions were perfect ...
First time eating here. Great experience. Highly recommend this place. Food was amazing and so was the service and atmosphere. Food : 5/5
Nice place for family functions and delicious food served by professionals team.
I have now been a few times at Pescara! Amazing food ! Chef Eranga and his team do a great job ! Very fresh ingredients! Great prices of food and especially wines! The wine list (both by the glass and bottle) is very good and I like the fact that even if it s an Italian restaurant they proudly showcase some great Niagara gems. All you have to do is ask Tomi for the best wines to pair with your dish and you will get a great dining experience! Highly recommend -seafood platter -Chardonnay from Bachelder
I visited Pescaraa last week with my friends for lunch, the food was amazing, the personal attention by owner Sam was great, the server was very polite and offered some great options. Go to Place for Italian, will try their Party Hall soon. Amazing Location on lakeshore in Downtown Oakville.
I had an incredible dining experience at Pescaraa. The pasta was cooked to perfection, and the flavors were authentic and delicious. The service was top-notch, and the ambiance was cozy and it was like a taste of Italy on my plate. The staff was friendly and attentive, making me feel right at home. I highly recommend Pescaraa for anyone craving authentic Italian cuisine. I can t wait to return! This Italian gem is a must-visit!
I had an amazing time at this place last weekend with my friends during our girls party. Sam, the owner, was incredibly helpful and friendly. The food, atmosphere, and service were all outstanding, and I truly enjoyed my experience there.
Great to share that I had visited on Sept 15 for a Birthday Dinner! It was a great ambiance, tasty food & its presentation and the hospitality of the entire staff was awesome! The staff was very friendly & courteous Vegetarian options: Loved the Cauliflower bites & other Vege food! Dietary restrictions: They had Vegetarian & even pure Vegan options!
Pescaraa is a perfect place for dine-in with plenty of food options and drinks. From its amazing location in Oakville downtown to its top quality service, it s a go to Italian restaurant. The upgraded private party place is perfect for group events where ambience and quality exceeds the expectations
Just absolutely love this new restaurant located in the downtown core of Oakville.( Lakeshore Rd. East). From the moment you walk into the place you are warmly greeted, and feel very welcomed. Its a beautiful restaurant, warm decor, soft lighting and beautifully decorated. The food was definitely 5 star. We enjoyed a couple of great appetizers, pan seared wild scallops, a trio plate of appetizers and pan seared salmon for the main. First class all the way! Will definitely be a go to spot for us in the very near future.
Absolutely amazing restaurant, not only was the food delicious but the staff is so friendly which made for truly a great dining experience. I will definitely be back and highly suggest to anyone looking to have a wonderful dinner in a great atmosphere!
A recently opened nicely decorated downtown Oakville restaurant on Lakeshore. Last evening we dined at Pescaraa. Following cocktails, we shared a large Caprese Salad which was delicious. For entrees, we had Pan Seared Sea Bass and Slow Braised Ribs, both were excellent ~ tasty and delicious. We shared a bottle of Niagara wine. Service by Tommi was outstanding as he was personable, helpful and attentive throughout the evening. The price of the menu items, cocktails and wine was highly competitive. We recommend Pescaraa and think you will enjoy!
Visited last night for dinner. Table of 7. Ordered 2 Pan Seared Seabass, both dishes came with cruncy bacon bits. Ordered Saffron Risotto, they brought horribly done Paella. No comment on the other ordered food. Paid $ 360.00. Food quality did not meet the dollar value.
Food was very good and tasty. Service was very good was definitely recommend.
The food was outstanding, appetizers mains and desserts were delicious, very nice atmosphere , great service friendly, pleasant and quick, will strongly recommend and will go back soon!!!! Parking: Got spot right in front of the restaurant
Top notch! Fresh seafood! Delicious meat platter!!! Very nice Croatian wine and spirit selection , , , Service 10/10... Not because I am there Because its true, give a try and you will see !!!! Welcome!
We ordered the seafood platter for 2. The fish, scallops and the lobster tails were lacking ie. the meat was soft and not pan-seared/grilled for a little crisp on the outer edges. Only the calamari was hot, crunchy and tasty. The spicy lobster linguine was NOT spicy and also lacking in flavour, including salt. It was a disappointing meal for 3 out of the 4 people dining that night. Our waitress was not friendly eg no smile all night or helpful when we asked about after-dinner drink and dessert options. Would not return.
Finally, authentic Italian cuisine. Incredible food, and impeccable service. Perfect for all occasions.
Great food with excellent quality and service. Would go more often but far from our home. Worth the trip
Had the seabass for lunch. Very tasty! Great calamari
Amazing food, and very reasonable prices too..the seafood platter for 2 was just perfection...next time gonna try the meat platter..very friendly service.
The food and customer service is outstanding.
We have been here a couple of times and the food and service has been phenomenal! Would definitely recommend! We will definitely be back!
We had a delicious dinner with friendly helpful service. Would really recommend the bruschetta and spicy octopus starters, the sea bass and chicken mains were perfectly cooked. We will definitely be coming back. Thanks to all the staff.
I dont like leaving negative reviews at restaurants but I had to make an exception for this one because of the terrible service and mediocre food. Overpriced meals that are nowhere close to Italian cuisine at all. I dined here on Saturday night and both the food and service were equally terrible. Our apps took over 45 mins to come out and our mains another 45 mins. I can appreciate that the kitchen was busy due to a party downstairs (which I noticed) but the servers or host never once mentioned that and did not once apologize for service being so slow. The lobster bisque soup, which I have eaten at many restaurants in the past, literally tasted like boiled lobster water with no lobster in it at all. The server was kind enough to waive it off my bill when I mentioned this to her. The Italian sausage and scallops ($36) tasted like frozen Italian sausages and they werent even cooked fully - one of my Italian sausages was still pink in the middle while I was eating it. I was very disappointed by the entire experience and will definitely not be recommending this spot to family and friends.
last night my boyfriend and I shared a seafood platter, with a bottle of Gavi which came together perfectly. Recommended by the host Tomi and everything was delicious. i highly recommend this nice and cozy restaurant, great atmosphere and staff. Will definitely be back soon :)
What a wonderful dining experience I had yesterday! Pescaraa Restaurant has a lovely dining atmosphere, with beautiful Italian music playing. Our server (I believe his name is Tommy) was absolutely knowledgeable about the wines of Italy and Croatia. My sister and I enjoyed a delicious glass of Sangiovese Cabernet Sauvignon highly recommended by him and he did not disappoint us! We shared a seafood platter which was delicious and flavourful. The seafood and vegetables were grilled which enhanced the flavours of the seasonings/sauce. We were also served freshly baked focaccia straight from the oven. Divine! The balsamic was delicious and made in house. Though I live 1.5 hours away, I will return! Highly recommend!
This restaurant is in a delightful area with plenty of interesting shops and an open square. Great food. Great service.
Awesome place to be here
