Yes, Nonna lives here – but so do the grandkids: the Respect is Burning Kitchen & Bar. Combining a jawdropping, bordering on encyclopedic run of old school pasta dishes, grill plates, pizzaantipasti (no whimsy here – just generations tested and family mashed delicious Italian fare!), sharing plates, chipper service and a superb soundtrack. The Respect is Burning Kitchen & Bar is the perfect place to crack a bottle of prosecco, a pint of craft beer, a carafe of tasty house wine or small vintner offerings and tuck in to some super tasty, fresh Italian dishes anchored on the flavours and style of this family’s ancestral cooking, mashed through a Founder’s world jammed with lit memories of 1970’s Sunday afternoon or Friday night family feasts.
This was a delightful find for my son and I on a one day visit. The meal was scrumptious and service was top notch. Would highly recommend this place and know where I will be going when I want to wow some one with excellently flavoured food and a wonderful atmosphere when in Sudbury.
This was a vibe on a Thursday evening. Chill ambience, low light, moody eclectic Italian restaurant. The pizza tasted wood fired, light and healthy for a European style. A pizza easily serves a hungry traveler. There was a fair wine list, but would have loved to have seen some more Canadian and VQA options. My server was Mazzy and she was friendly, attentive and kind. This is a great spot for friends and a low key place for dates.
Would have never thought Sudbury had such a great pasta place. Service great, atmosphere is one of the coolest places I've been. The food, one of the best tasting pasta dishes I've tried in a restaurant. The server we had, told our table, the owner was this guy name Rob. She explained how Rob operates the place. This guy has passsssion!!! I think he might be The Pasta King!!!
The Funghi pasta was my favorite here. Very good and tasty as recommended by our server. The pizza was also great! I’d recommend ordering them. Every food was good and the servers were warm and friendly atmosphere was just right!
This place is always so good. Everything on the menu is delicious. The service is great and the interior looks amazing. We are always happy with our experience there.
A place you need to go to. Excellent cuisine and great service. Your plate is huge for the price. Tx again Jenn. Great welcoming!
My review is based on the service, which I attempted to address with the Manager, but was unsuccessful. I would recommend this establishment for the food and the atmosphere, hands down. The drinks, well they were out of most beers and the wine came with some floaters - the manager was adamant it was sediment due to it being a high end wine… I drink allot of wine, this was a first. The right thing would have been to exchange it for a fresh glass, but that was not offered. Also, the waitress made errors with two orders, a main and a drink, both times she attempted to blame it on poor communication from us… I trust this was a one off.
Food was incredible! So much different than what Ive ever had. Atmosphere was vibrant and cozy. It was a bit loud, but I could still have a descent conversation without shouting. I highly recomend this place for anyone looking to catch up with some friends, or a perfect date night.
Great for Christmas parties
Food was awesome, the whole place has a vibe. The pizza was amazing and the other dishes were also too good. Food
Steak was unreal . Highly recommended
This place never disappoints!!! Makes our stay in Sudbury better every time we come up! The Rosticiana was out of this world!!!
Absolutely awesome experience. Loved the mushrooms and the meatballs.
FOOD WAS AMAZING! Severs were also SO SO SO SWEET we had a reservation for 11 for my friends birthday and I brought a cake and they stored it and brought it out to sing happy birthday and provided the extra plates and knife and cutlery service was AMAZING thank you guys for making it a great night for my friend. PLUS FOOD WAS AMAZING
The best food and drinks in town!
Great food with very nice ambience and staff is really nice
Absolutely fantastic!!! 10/10 food, drinks, service, cozy atmosphere! Amazing
The food here is amazing. I have been a few times and have not been disappointed.
We are from Toronto and we were looking for a good place to have dinner and found this place from google. I must say it was worth the trip. The atmosphere was excellent and the service was amazing and the food was great and the quantity was way more than I expected. Thea, our beautiful and bubbly server is the best. She is awesome If you are in town give it a try .. you will not be disappointed
Our first time in Sudbury and we looked around and saw the menu and reviews and decided to give it a try. We went with 3 appetizers, all were just delicious. The calamari and shrimp fritos, the deep wood bruschetta with prosciutto and the chicken wings. The quantities were really good and filling. A bit too much for both of us. Last but not least, our lovely and wonderful server, Thea was a delight to deal with. She was awesome! Overall the vibe, atmosphere, food, service were all top quality!! Have to add that before we left , we met Rob, the owner and he is so down to earth and such a pleasant person to talk to. He gave us a quick history of his journey of his business and we wish him well.
Great atmosphere. Very very good food
Cuisine is nice
Now this place is a hidden gem! Highly recommended! Last time we went we brought our baby out for a bite to eat, and was no issues at all. Family friendly, owner has so much knowledge, love and respect for the business and the people around him. The food is top notch! If your looking for something besides basic, dull pub food this is the place to be! Will leave your taste pallets satisfied and wanting more! Atmosphere feels very warm, and welcoming. The staff here always has a smile and makes sure you have a very pleasant experience! 10/10 highly recommended
Food is always delicious & cooked perfectly Portions & prices are great Sydney & the other staff are always polite & provide fast & phenomenal service Rob is very welcoming & will stop to chat My friends & I are frequent customers & will continue to be.
Terrific atmosphere and it was hopping on a Tuesday night. Well staffed and very good service. The menu is really interesting and it was hard to choose!! Our appetizers were very tasty and I regretted not ordering pizza after trying my friend s delicious dinner. I had a tomato based pasta with pancetta which was good (not great). I was happy to finally visit after hearing about it for many years!! (I am from out of town)
It was our first time at Resepct is Burning. Very clean, cozy, rustic atmosphere. Tables are well displayed and spacious. Felt nostalgic when the dinner plates came out, this struck a great family dinner conversation with the kids and bringing up memories of who we knew that had the specific table setting. Haha, I didnt ever think a plate pattern would do that, but it did! We ordered two pizzas, and one of the kiddos wanted their own dinner plate. Pizzas were excellent. The size was of a medium and thin crust. The taste and texture felt hand/home made. We had the New York style and Werewolf by Night, both very tasty and full of flavor and not overpowering. The sauce ratio was good to balance out the toppings. Our one kiddo had the Gnocchi Nonnia. He didnt leave anything to bring home. That there says it all. Haha. Heballowed me to have two gnocchi. Cooked well, nice and soft with a flavorful sauce. Service was good. The server was great with the kids and timed well throughout the meal. Kids picked for desert the Neutella pizza. The taste brought me back to childhood. We were all so full from dinner that we had a few bites and ended up taking it home. Bathrooms clean was clean and well kept. Deffinately will return and recommend. Parking: There was space to park a f150 extended bed with full crew cab. Kid-friendliness: Staff were amazing with kids. Especially since we have one child on the spectrum, the server and crew were amazing. Which prompts us to make plans to return.
Gnocchi, carbonara, and pizza were delicious. Adult drinks were good, but light on alcohol. My kids loved the Shirley Temple & Roy Rogers.
Parking: Next to old Scotia building Food
Excellent food, service is always top notch! Best restaurant in Sudbury! Food
This restaurant has been a favourite amongst family and friends for many years now! The atmosphere is uplifting, the food is top notch and the service always impeccable!! Always a favourite when dining out! Nothing but great things to say about this place!!
Food was fantastic as per usual! Food was served within maybe 5 minutes of ordering. Service was fantastic as always. Cant reccomend enough.
Always a great time here with fantastic food. If you re looking for a high end Italian pasta or a great steak, this is the spot!
We came here 20 years ago and the food was absolutely delicious! I never forgot the name of the restaurant as it was so original. When we came down to Sudbury yesterday on a family trip I was delighted to find out the place was still open for business. Again I was not disappointed. The food is incredible! Unforgettable! Jeanne & Tim Fournier, Ontario
Sidney was top notch with excellent service. Thank you so much for making our anniversary special!
Had a great meal with our friends. Decent size portions, fast service and tasty food.
Finally met the man the legend Rob! Thanks for taking a pic with my mom! Megan our server was the BEST server Ive had in a while she was so personable and good at her job! Delicious food great service !! 100 our of 10
Had a fantastic Bistecca e Fritta, with great bar and food service by Kayla and her team, closed off with a sublime music selection by Rob. Many couples enjoying a nice evening, and enjoyable by all!
Very good restaurant, the welcome from both the employees and the boss, who chats with his customers as if they have known them forever, is warm, as is the atmosphere! I highly recommend
Favourite restaurant. Hands down. Amazing service, accommodating staff, and phenomenal food. Learned about this place when we lived in Elliot Lake 6 years ago. Drove from Ottawa recently and made it a priority stop. The seafood pasta is amazing. Fresh, not fishy, the scallops were soft and buttery. Do it. Go. Spend the money. Its one of the best meals you will have. Cannot wait to go back. Parking: Just be aware of where you are parking. One side of the restaurant isnt too bad, the other side is a pretty rough part of the neighbourhood. I wouldnt leave anything in my vehicle. Kid-friendliness: No problems with kids in the resto. No real kid friendly options for supper? My kiddos had the ravioli and loved it, but I know mine are adventurous eaters compared to others. Its not really set up to be a family restaurant (which is totally okay, its AMAZING).
Amie is a wonderful young lady and the food was delicious. Great atmosphere and background music. Just a wonderful experience in a bit of a scary part of the city.
This place was incredible. By far the best Italian dining experience available in Sudbury. Dont forget to ask for meatballs to start with!
We were extremely disappointed with our dining experience. Despite the friendly and articulate hostess who seated us, the rest of the evening fell short of expectations. My sons carbonara sauce was a disaster, having completely separated into a thin layer of oil with patches of thicker sauce. His meal arrived a full seven minutes after the rest of ours, forcing us to wait out of courtesy and resulting in our food becoming cold. My steak, priced at over $50, was shockingly poor in quality. It was clearly a single-serve vacuum-packed piece that was so thin it couldnt possibly be cooked to the medium-rare I requested. Instead, it arrived an unappetizing gray color, completely devoid of the expected redness. Additionally, the pints of beer we ordered were misleadingly labeled. In Canada, a pint is legally required to be 20 ounces, yet Im certain the pints served were only 16 ounces. Our waitress was not as attentive as she could have been. When we first arrived, we received our initial drinks, but I was eager to order a second drink before our meals arrived, and she never returned. It seemed that she only became chatty and friendly towards the end of our meal, when a tip was at stake. The total bill for our party of four, including four inaccurately labeled pints and tip, came to $240. Its incredibly frustrating to spend that kind of money and be so thoroughly disappointed with the quality of the meal and the service.
Our waitress Jess was awesome and recommended drinks and food and was spot on!!!
Food was delicious and Jess gave great suggestions for food orders and drinks.
Jess was very knowledgeable and helpful throughout our whole experience.
I had another fantastic dining experience - the food, the drink, the service - Jess you ROCK!!!
Just came tonight and I must say that the service was excellent. Jennifer was attentive, kind and welcoming. We ordered the beef carpaccio, which was delicious - but I wish they would have put a bit more aioli! We then shared the salsiccia pizza. Also delicious, I do recommend more sausage and a bit less mushroom. Otherwise, this was such a great meal and a great service experience. Thanks Jennifer!!
The best Italian restaurant I ve ever been to. I tried the lamb chops, salmon and truffle fries are extremely delicious and the sizzling lamb chops was the best lamb dish I ever had. Food
Jess was an absolute pleasure of a server. She knew the menu in and out, we took every one of her recommendations and did not regret it. We will be back - if not for the amazing food, for Jess alone. Wine bottles well priced, vibe and lighting immaculate, effervescent servers - easily a highlight of northern Ontario culinary scene.
Jessi was fabulous and made great suggestions for our meal. Definitely be back again. And much more food than listed in survey.
Best food and always great service!!! Thanks Meghan!
Nice atmosphere, friendly staff and good food. The dessert menu was limited to only two items, neither of which piqued my interest. I will definitely return, but Ill make alternate plans for dessert.
I visited this restaurant for my anniversary because I had positive experiences in the past. We had the mussels for an appetizer and they were far too salty. The underlying quality of ingredients and favours were good but the salt was overwhelming. My rigatoni also was very salty to the point where I was reaching for my glass of water or wine with each bite. Disappointing Response: This occurred on June 5th.
Jennifer was awesome. Food was awesome .Atmosphere was awesome. WAIT? Am I really in Sudbury?
My husband and I went with our daughter and had a phenomenal meal. The server Meghan was amazing and knowledgeable about the menu. The pasta I had was fresh made and so tasty. The portion sizes were plenty for sharing. Ill definitely be back for many more meals.
Meghan was a fantastic server and the food was incredible. Highly recommend
Best place in Sudbury, and amazing service
Best food in the country of Canada. The only reason we went 3 hours out of our way to stay in Sudbury is to eat here and to see the owner Rob who is not only a fantastic host but a world class chef. We will be back every time we go to Canada.
The food was amazing however veggies were a little over done. The service was phenomenal and it s a great atmosphere however the music is very loud. Truly appreciated the visit from Rob. His attention to customers is refreshing.
My favorite restaurant in Sudbury. Great place for a date night, family dinner, or getting together with friends for drinks. Food : 5/5
One of my favourites restaurants in Sudbury. Amazing food, great vibes and service!
It s too loud and way overpriced.
Restaurant was very loud, we found ourselves yelling at each other just to be heard, server was distracted by friends and food was average at best. Meals did arrive to the table in good time. Definitely not my best experience definitely not worth the cost
Jess was the best server!
Love this restaurant! Jess was a great server definitely recommend
Absolutely delicious!! Great service and fun atmosphere. Something for every price point on the menu. Never disappointed!!!!
Mackenzie our server was excellent recommend a very nice Pinot Noir not on the menu that we tried ,it was excellent , the mussels and smoked salmon were delicious and maim pasta dishes were incredible.
Best food in town the pastas are to die for
Really and truly, theres no other place in the city that embodies what is and what could be. The attention to detail and the energy of this place is so infectious. The love permeates from every inch of this restaurant. Its so refreshing to eat, celebrate and connect in such a divine locale. Family style is the only style especially in a world thats so disconnected. Thank you Rob and Mini. Youre our FIRST CHOICE always.
We recently visited Respect is Burning Kitchen and Bar, and it s safe to say, we were thoroughly impressed! This restaurant truly stands out as a culinary treasure in Greater Sudbury. The ambiance strikes the perfect balance between an edgy modern industrial vibe and the warm, inviting essence of classic Italian dining. The atmosphere here isn t just awesome; it s designed to kindle conversation and make every meal feel like a special event. But the true star of the show is, of course, the incredible food. There s a unique twist on every plate that turns classic Italian into an unforgettable gourmet experience. Let s not forget the fantastic staff at Respect is Burning. They were knowledgeable, passionate, and seemed genuinely excited to make our experience as fulfilling as possible. Their professionalism and enthusiasm contribute greatly to the restaurant s vibrant charm. It s with great enthusiasm that we thank Respect is Burning Kitchen and Bar for their exceptional hospitality and recommend it with the highest of praises to all. If you re looking for a dining destination that combines innovation, comfort, and culinary excellence, look no further. We encourage everyone to support this amazing local establishment in Greater Sudbury. With gratitude, Todd and Andrea Hilton
The food is spectacular! The service was amazing! Great selection of wine and other beverages, a unique dining experience! The owner is a hands on man and greets his guests with a warm smile. A must try place in Sudbury!
Never short of anything but a good time, the whole vibe of everything is spectacular! The food is always a hit, I can t get enough of the mushroom pasta. The selections of wine is also something to be desired. I love it here
The service and food were great. We loved the decor as well. The bruschetta with mushroom and prosciutto, ceasar salad, son of satan pizza, werewolf by night pizza and the pastas were all delicious. My only complaints were that it was a little dark to read the menus and very high traffic. Its best to make a reservation as it was very busy.
Super cool spot, Merson makes a good cocktail paired with decent banter at the bar.. the salmon was stellar and the vibe was just right
Im sure at one point in time this restaurant was located in the heart of Italy. How this restaurant is in Sudbury is still a mystery to most locals. The food is authentic and couldnt be more delicious every time we visit. The atmosphere compliments the food and the service must come from the top down. Rob(owner) will be seen on many occasions sitting at tables chatting with customers about the city, current events and his love for family! We truly appreciate everytime he does this with us, complete strangers, now freinds. We highly recommend you eat here!
My husband and I went out here to celebrate my new job the other night, we ve been in Sudbury for the last 5 years or so and for some reason have never been. The food is just incredible, the staff is amazing, and the atmosphere was really great. My husband bumped into the owner on his way to the bathroom and when he found out we were out celebrating he asked the waitress to bring us over some free drinks. Such a great experience here, we will be new regular customers for sure!
Wish I could go higher than a 5 star
We finally found a perfect date spot. Food was amazing. Service was fantastic. Rob, the owner was amazing as well. You can really tell his heart and soul is in this place. We spent $135 which we found incredibly decently priced. We each had a few drinks, shared an appetizer, a dessert, and each had pasta. The pasta and bread were to die for. Definitely go if you have the chance. We will be back for sure.
Wonderful Italian restaurant in downtown Sudbury! Food and service were wonderful, including the apéritifs and wine selection.
This is one of the premiere restaurants in Sudbury. EXCELLENT food and service. I highly recommend.
Had a great experience. Amazing food as usual. I ve been several times. They upstairs loft was very accommodating for our event!
Im a little disappointed, I came in craving pasta however all dishes were a little heavy with cream or meat. Both which my pregnant belly did not agree with. I asked if the kitchen would make a plain butter sauce to accommodate and I was told no. So I spent 150$ on food that I could not eat.
just a bit salty. but service was amazing!
Great atmosphere good service good food
Great place for a quality Italian meal! The music is loud so its not a great place to talk business. The later in the evening, the music gets even louder. By 9pm, dont expect to talk. Youll have to yell to keep a conversation.
What a great place to meet, eat, drink and catch up or slow down at the end of a day. Mmm orriechette
Hidden gem of Sudbury! Great HOT and delicious dishes that ll surely please anyone! Great dining experience with great service. Not a huge fan of visiting downtown Sudbury, however this place is worth the visit
Love this restaurant, only thing is tables are all really close.
On March 30 we had ceaser salad meat balls with garlic bread the person that was with me had ravioli and meat balls with garlic bread they were sick through the night the service was excellent with the meal the meat balls came barely warm the other times the meat balls were hot we had to let them cool so with one of us getting sick we wont be back
Excellent food Especially the pizza and gnocchi, highly recommend either Food
Been eating at this excellent restaurant for years now. It is its own establishment. Always wanting to go back. Owner and staff are awesome.
Love eating here, cool tunes, great look. Food and service are impeccable. Definitely one of the best restaurants in Sudbury
Wow!!! I had such an amazing meal here! Food was great and my boyfriend and I had the BEST waitress her name was Amy! She was so attentive and charismatic. Will definitely return!
Absolutely amazed by the service we received when my girlfriend and I recently dined here! Our waitress Amy was on the ball and so attentive! We will be back!
Over priced for the quantity you get. Ribs are dry, barely any meat on the bones and WAY too much oil used in the brushetta. Litterally all I tasted, Gross. lamb was good but the portion sizes are deffinitly NOT worth a $60 plate. Never going back.
Chicken and mushrooms with mashed potatoes were quite delicious. We needed to use our phone lights to read the menu, which was a little too dark. My wife had a shrimp noodle dish that was fantastic as well. They also do gluten-free, which honestly I could not tell the difference between regular noodles. That, too, was super yummy. Would definitely recommend it to anyone. sorry for the filter... didnt know how to put it back to normal
First off I want to start off saying that normally I would give a 5 star to RIB. Usually we dine in but this time we decided to try the takeout menu. We ordered the Deep Woods Bruschetta, Crispy truffle fries, Nonnas meat balls, and the Funghi pizza, not a difficult order. I placed the order at 4pm and asked to pick it up at 5pm. I arrived at 5:10pm and was told my order would be about 5 to 10 mins they are just finishing up. Id like to mention the wait staff were very polite. I stood around for a while and was then asked if I want to sit down to wait, It was now 5:25pm. I waiting until 5:45pm before I received my order, I had a 15min drive home. Once I arrive home and unpacked everything, I was surprised that everything was cold, I expected it to be warm at the very least considering I didnt have for to drive. I warmed up the pizza and fries in the microwave, the fries tasted old like they had been reheated, the pizza was kinda soggy and had a very heavy anchovie sauce which I dont remember being on the pizza the last time I ordered it. The Deep Woods, I didnt re-heat but the bread it was served on was disappointingly soft and very un-toasted, the flavor was still what I remember however which was a plus. The meatballs were good, hard to mess up a meatball though. I am going to chalk up this bad experience to ordering out instead of eating in, I plan to give RIB another chance and dine in next time. I respect RIB to much to burn them without a second chance first. See you again soon,
Great atmosphere and the food was amazing! We celebrated my father in laws birthday and we had a great time! Hands down best place in town!
Wonderful dinner and atmosphere. After dinner entertainment was the best. Thanks for the birthday song Rob!!!
Amazing food and great atmosphere!
Very delicious food, fast service and the waiter was very fast, knowledgeable on the menu items! Delicious
Great place for a quick bite! It is always packed and the seating is tight which makes for a loud overpopulated environment. At times, we have felt pressured to eat and get out quickly due to influx of people.
We called to make a reservation multiple times, once we spoke to someone they were rude and dismissive. We asked to make the reservation later in the week for 9pm for 12 people, which we were told they couldn t accommodate. The best they could do was 8:15 for 10 people, which we took. We arrived a couple minutes early for our 8:15pm reservation with 10 people and told it would be a few minutes. 9pm rolls around and we still aren t seated They were not very apologetic for making us wait almost an hour for our reservation table. The waitress made us seam like an inconvenience and barely spoke to us. Food was alright but nothing special. Would not come back.
Food and price are great. Service was great. If you have never been here--I recommend checking them out. The menu is large, and there is something for everyone!
Although the menu seems to be loaded with cheese, cream or wine sauce, theres something for everyone. I had the caesars salad with a chicken breast. The salad was really good. If youre not very hungry, you can order something from the appetizers section, its equally just as good as an entree. Currently, they dont have the chocolate cake, but they might have it back on the menu sometimes later. The staff is nice, good clientele.
Great atmosphere, prompt, friendly service and the food is out of this world!
Fantastic pasta and great lamb chops! Definitely will be coming back! Service was fantastic and food was awesome!!!!
Service was great. Food was delicious and had authentic Italian taste. Dining room felt echo-y. Need things on walls to absorb the sound . But all right otherwise.
The food was absolutely incredible! The wait staff wad friendly and prompt given how busy it was. Awesome decor, good location. Definitely going to be back my next trip to sudbury!
Atmosphere is awesome and food was pretty good!
Excellent food and service.
Kitchen is open only until 10 pm
Stayed over in Sudbury for the night and decided at the last min to try this place for a family meal. They were incredibly accommodating getting us in right away. There are no words that can describe how incredibly our meal was. Everything from start to finish was hands down mind blowing. There was a point that my boys and I did everything we could to not pick up the mussel dish and drink out the left over juice, and Im not even a huge lover of mussels. We live over 5 hrs away, but this place will definitely be the reason I return to Sudbury.
I m in love with this place. We ordered a variety of apps and dishes to try and loved every single one. My personal fave was the rigatoni funghi. I am definitely coming back next time I visit my hometown. Well done Rob and crew - thank you
Great service and food was amazing
Amazing we enjoyed our time in this restaurant. The food was delicious.
Food and service is always great. It is always crowded, loud, and expensive, though, so we can rarely justify the expense.
Always a great place to grab an amazing dinner in downtown Sudbury.
The food was amazing and the service- the atmosphere was a little loud due to the music and we were out on a date night so it was kinda hard to have a conversation so that s why I gave the atmosphere 3 stars- Very cleanly!
Five star for everything. First time come to Sudbury, and the food here is amazing. I ordered two appetizers and one pasta, one pizza, didn t finished the pizza, the portion is excellent and more than enough for two people. The mushroom pasta is a must.
My server was great ! The seafood pasta was great and the mussels were to die for !!!! Will be coming back again
We had Jen as a server and she did an amazing job. Food was excellent and vibe was very nice. Generous portions, attentive and professional service- high praise all around!
My friend and I closed the place talking for almost 3 hours, it was great!
Great food and drinks!! Highly recommend
Incredible incredible incredible, exceeded expectations. Amazing friendly staff, wonderful food and great vibe
Great food with nice portions and a welcoming dark atmosphere (we ate on the patio at 8pm) and very clean. Our waitress, Vanessa was absolutely amazing and gave honest recommendations. She was really chill to talk to as well! The music was at a nice level so we didn t have to yell to hear each other and it suited the setting. They even have an area upstairs for private functions! Highly recommend giving this nice Italian restaurant a try!
Food was delicious and plentiful Great atmosphere indoors or on terrace My new favourite for Italian Food : 5/5
Our group of friends had a wonderful dinner here. Interesting and unusual items on the menu. We had the crispy mushroom salad (excellent), 2 pizzas, the ribs and the mushroom rigatoni. The ribs were maybe a little chewier but the flavour was great! I really liked the service from our server but after we finished eating it felt a little rushed. She was clearing our plates very quickly. I checked to see if we were maybe too close to closing time and nope it was 9 and they closed at 10. Aside from that I highly recommend the food
Big thanks to Hanna and Rob. I am so glad I had my birthday at your restaurant. Food was fantastic. Keep up your good work!
I loved this place, The right place at the right time. Labor Day weekend around 8pm Food was great, service too. Sat on the patio had some drinks jazz was playing, It was a great date. I will visit this place again when in Sudbury
A must visit spot in downtown Sudbury! Great atmosphere & delicious food!
If you are in Downtown Sudbury then, Respect is Burning is a must visit. Great service, food is delicous (and we did not wait long after ordering). Though only slight negative it is a little on the pricey side
Pasta super salty, meals arrived at different times.
Great food, awesome service. Enjoyed our visit for sure.
Food was 4 stars in quality, but for the price you pay its not worth it. Secondly, the atmosphere has such loud music that it makes you yell at your server, and then each other. Come here with a date that you want to impress, but not speak to.
One of the best places to eat in Sudbury. So much good food on the menu and you can tell they care about the ambience and service. 6/5 stars
Simply excellent
Throughly enjoyed every minute there. Seated right away for my daughters birthday party. Waitress was absolutely amazing. Apps and drinks were ordered and were out on the table within 15 mins, kind of big portions, fresh, very hot, and very delicious. We were given a good amount of time to enjoy our apps and our main course came out. All 18 of us enjoyed our meals and we all spoke of how amazing everything tasted. The drinks were delicious too. This would most definitely be a restaurant I would recommend over and over again. I have gone here quite a few times, and it has never disappointed and this bday party was no exception. This is absolutely one of Sudburys main attractions!!!
The ricotta in the ravioli was smelling
Unexpectedly high quality. I travel a fair bit for work and dont expect the quality I got here from most places.
The food and atmosphere are amazing. Best spot in town for Italian food and a great night out!
Amazing supper and apps 5
Very very good restaurant ! Nice Italian cuisine.
Edited: Returned later in the week as promised. Had the Bistecca E Fritti. One of the best steaks Ive ever had across this country. Also the Dolcemisu was off the chain ridiculously good. Im in town for a week and finding a decent place to eat is always a challenge. Ive just currently finished my meal (Carbonara) and I can say unequivocally that it is the most authentic and tasty carbonara (my go to dish) Ive had in a very long time. The service has been exceptional (example: the server brought tasters of wine for me), helpful, knowledgeable (NO carbonara *does not* use cream!) and unobtrusive, which is a pleasure that is underrated. I plan to return later in the week to give some other dishes a chance at my palate. Edit: the cappuccino was fabulous! Thanks for a fantastic supper.
Your wallet will be burning after a trip to this place! 25 dollar plate of ravioli with 15 dollar cocktails, brutal. Good food, but its just pasta with tomato sauce...
A terrific little patio that seems to always be busy. I checked in for dinner on Thursday at 6 and within 10 minutes there was a 20 person lineup waiting. Service was prompt and friendly - the patio can be breezy so do watch your menus and wine glasses! Extensive selection of pastas and mains - there s probably something here for any palate. I had pasta amitriciana and, while flavorful, I found a bit on the sparse side for sauce and pancetta, considering the 24 dollar price. I think that a small side of bread or green salad is merited when you hit around 25 for pastas. Wine selection is small but proper, and bottle prices actually still reasonable (double LCBOS, which is below average) Obviously a local favorite and I d probably go back again too.
Fantastic outdoor patio and delicious food, the gnocchi is over the top. Great staff!
A cozy little place in the downtown core, the food was super and a good experience all around, a must-try for Italian food lovers
The gnocchi nonnina is amazing, the staff is very friendly and helpful, and the atmosphere is pleasantly upscale.
Nice location. Great atmosphere. Attentive wait staff. Large portions. Flavourful food. Parking: Wasnt too difficult to find street parking half a block away.
We went to celebrate an anniversary and holy cow was the food delish. But the desert was so amazing!!!
Our first time to this place as our son and daughter in laws recommendation. We are out of towners. Atmosphere is very nice dining. We were in t-shirt and shorts, as were others on this hot day, others were dressed up a bit. Patio was not open. Waitress was very pleasant. Service was very quick. We were out in less than an hour. I had the sausage, mushroom and truffle shell pasta dish. Hubby had the farmhouse sugo and we ordered a basket of garlic bread. Both meals were simply delicious. Extremely hot when it arrived at the table. Killer garlic in mine, but who does not like garlic. The sausage, the waitress said was very small pieces.. I could not find any of it... the mushrooms were also very finely chopped. I brought a takeout container for lunch tomorrow as the portions are very generous. Hubby was able to finish his all up. Would certainly recommend this place to anyone. You do have to parallel park downtown, but it is free after 5pm wkdays.
Amazing food at a crazy pace! Going to keep coming back for birthdays and holidays!
I highly recommend this restaurant. The young girls are friendly but what can we say about the typically Italian menu. One word, delicious!
Absolutely the most complete italian menu Ive ever seen (Im italian, lived in Italy with my grandma for ten years, and go there every year) ... a connaisseurs paradise... and finally when you receive your dish, its exactly the way its supposed to be... Fritto and the two pasta we had were perfect, in real traditional italian cuisine style: simple and exquisite.
This is an easy 5-star people. We had the perfect night. Every bite of the food was delicious. You gotta try the crispy mushroom salad. I don t know what witchcraft they used, but each forkful was better than the previous one.
My bestfriend took me to my first visit for my bday diner 1) setting , timing and staff was amazing! 2) the food is jaw dropping deliciousness 3) lamb is now my new favorite protein lol thank youu!
Excellent service. The mushroom salad is delicious!
Service was not great. Food was OK. A lot of $for an ok experience
A wonderful experience. I brought a novel and sat at the bar with a very patient bartender. It was very busy, but all of their staff were in high spirits and welcoming. Aces
Solid choice in Sudbury. Patio is large and bustling with good energy. Our server (Vanessa) was the perfect compliment. Started off with the cauliflower app and it was a 5 outta 5. Pastas: ravioli and gnocchi were standard and the rose sauce with prosciutto propped up these standards. Order the bread. Just do it, carbs be damned. You will likely be tasting the garlic well into the evening. Coffee was better than expected. All Pepsi products so not a Coke Zero to be had.
Amazing food, good service, and a groovy playlist!
As someone who tells everyone and their mother that Respect has the best pizza i ve ever had, i am quite disappointed it s being over looked. You can only get it for takeout tuesday-thursday and it s not available for dine- in on any day. As someone who strongly prefers pizza to pasta, this leads me to go elsewhere and always be disappointed in the pizza from literally anywhere else. The staff is always super super friendly though. But for the love of everyone who has and has not (yet) had the pleasure of tasting the best pizza in the world; bring it back, for dine in and takeout everyday.
Had the best dinner there a few weeks ago. Great food, attentive service and reasonable price. Highly recommend!
Great food and atmosphere
Delicious food and the service was professional and very friendly.
Food was really delicious. Parking is available at lots nearby, street parking difficult to obtain.
Had a very fantastic time here.
The place is beautiful and quiet. The delicious food. He came the best. Recommendation to give more time to eat, perhaps not so much insistence on finishing eating. Its a great place to eat and enjoy the company.
Excellent food and service
Service great food good pricey drinks weak and expensive Dietary restrictions: Server was absolutely amazing she made sure I wasnt around or in contact around seafood or fish Parking: No parking walked from room
I come here about once a month and have been for years, and have yet to have a bad experience with the food or the service
Attended a Christmas party. Great time!
Amazinz staff (shout out to Emmerson and Chiara), food was behond my expentation. We had Meat balls and fried calamars! You must taste it.
Amazing. Great food, and by that I mean probably the best Ive ever had. Awesome and friendly staff. Rob is just amazing, always makes sure that you have an exceptional experience. Great sized portions, not crazy big, but definitely enough that you leave full and very satisfied, and quite reasonably priced as well. Literally cant say enough good things, we spent most of the meal talking about how good our meals were. The atmosphere is great, we were all dressed up, and there were others there in everyday clothes, and nobody looked out of place, just a great place to have a great time. I will definitely be going back.
Went with two other couples and the food was incredible. I had one of their pasta dishes and it was honestly so delicious, I forgot my leftovers in my car and the next day my car smelled fantastic lol. It did take a while to get our food but they were super busy so that is very understandable! Would definitely recommend!
Dont have a Margareta here, it was awful, all I tasted was shaved ice. Our meals were okay but we needed to buy the bread, when it should be included with the meal, since it was quite soupy. The chicken wings were just that...not even some carrot and celery sticks for the dip. We were all disappointed and will not come back.
My wife and I visited this restaurant this evening and were very impressed with the service, and food. Im 71 years old and this was one of, if not the best pasta with white cream sauce that I have ever eaten. From the hostess to our server, Jennifer, everything was exceptional. I definitely will return to this restaurant when we return to Sudbury.
