Shortest trip to Italy
Very friendly atmosphere, great for a date or business get together or just a place to grab delicious food and drinks. Love the espresso martini. Best salmon yet! Enjoyed the festive atmosphere, live music (little loud), service is welcoming and polite. This was my second time here and I’ll definitely be coming back!
Honestly, this is the best restaurant I have been too here. Iv been looking for a restaurant with top quality food and I was extremely pleased with every dish that came out. I can’t wait to come back. Jackson was our waiter and he was wonderful!! Very helpful and catering to our dinner!
WRT the food, the bread, mussels (fabulous broth) and Tortellini were very good. The lasagna was very disappointing ... came with a cream sauce? under the lasagna, very dry layers of thick pasta and meat, and coated with a very thick hard crust of cheese. The base also was very hard. I normally love a nice coating of cheese but expect a rich moist combination of pasta, meat and cheese. Very disappointing. The venue was very attractive but due to the hard surfaces, very noisy. As this was early Tuesday night, there was not much of a crowd so would be very noisy an a busy night. The wait staff was exceptional, very friendly and welcoming.
We don't often give reviews of restaurants unless they truly are special. Last night at LA Rucola was one such experience. Five of us came in without a reservation (not a good idea on a Saturday night) and were briefly seated at the bar until a table was ready. We were treated to some great cocktails and beer, and after only a 10 minute wait, we were seated. Fabulous, well prepared and executed appetizers and mains came thereafter, followed by a lineup of delicious deserts. All five of us were pleasantly surprised at how good the food was, and we will certainly be back. Shout out to Madute who provided excellent, friendly, and timely service. Well done all.
Good food and service. Good size portions for the price. This is a solid must try place.
Attended this restaurant with a large group on Sunday. Atmosphere was very inviting. Servers were always helpful, and there to remove dirty plates. The food was all a 10/10. Had many different dishes served to us. Calamari, beef pieces, lamb chops, salad, cheese, meats, bread, pasta, potatoes, flat beans, desserts, and red & white wine. Thank you to the staff for a beautiful dinner .
This place is so good! All the staff was extremely attentive and we had multiple servers checking in on us every 15-20 min. If there was anything we needed they did not hesitate to grab it for us. The food was delicious and perfectly portioned! Also, the espresso martini was to die for, I could've had 8!!
The restaurant serves a very unique style of pizza (for the Windsor area), with the dough being pretty much the same thickness over the entire pie. This way, the pie is evenly baked and easy to eat with your fingers. The toppings are very good, and the greens are fresh. The atmosphere inside is very nice. The overall impression was kind of spoiled with not having cola drinks (run out, never seen in North America) and a pinaple juice being fizzy (most likely spoiled). Also, I don't like waiters to bring me the bill and the pay machine as soon as I stop eating. The restaurant was almost empty, and it just felt rude, like they were trying to get rid of us as soon as possible. This is, unfortunately, a practice in many places, and it just doesn't feel right.
The food was excellent when we dined. The problem was 3 out of 4 ladies ordered hot tea after dinner...it took the waiter 3 tries to bring us hot water. We kept saying its not hot. He said I cant get it any hotter. So we suggested he microwave the water. He finally agreed to microwave it...still wasnt hot but some what better. Plus they dont offer decaf coffee? I find that very odd. Especially at 9 pm at night
Great food, great service, great staff, top quality food
Incredibly loud music, to the point that I couldnt hear at all, not even servers. Pasta was tasteless, salad smelled like vomit and I had to have them take it away fast. Salmon was dry and inedible, and had a side of unseasoned potatoes.
It was my first time at the restaurant and it really is 10/10.
Poor group experience Restaurant could not even get chicken parm right. It was overcooked and served it with cold pasta I tried to resolve the matter discreetly with the owner but he refused a discount. Rather than owning up to poor food quality he pushed a gift certificate instead. Should have gone to Fratellis instead.
Do not recommend at all. Will never be going back. Food was served cold. Very small portions for the price. Slow service.
Overpriced for portion size. Takeout for one dinner - chicken parm and side of pasta was nearly $40. No complimentary salad or bread.
Food was amazing, the service was not. (I apologize for the long review but I feel like this should be addressed) First, let me say that our waiters for the evening were phenomenal. They were there when we needed them and did a great job ensuring our dining experience was the best it could be, given the circumstances. Now for the circumstances: We were there for my parents 45th wedding anniversary. My father had personally gone in to the restaurant 3 weeks prior to reserve their private room for our group of 8 adults and 5 children. He did this so that we could have a great meal, great conversation and so that the young children in our group wouldnt disturb other patrons by being loud. The reservation was made. Fast forward to tonight, when we show up and are told that the private room is not available. Yea. They had set up a long table in the general dining area for us, and a quick peek in the private room showed that it was set up for a group of approx. 20-25 people instead. No contact with my dad indicating a change. Nothing. We are seated at our table and the night progressed as expected. Kids are loud, other patrons are giving the stink eye. One guy, Im pretty sure, was taking video of my young nieces- probably to complain on Facebook later. Sorry guy, we tried to avoid this by making a reservation for the private room but the owner obviously thought the bigger group that was worth more money was more important then the people whod been in weeks ago to reserve it. Tony (at least I think thats what he said), the owner, comes over to the table to talk to my dad. He apologized for the inconvenience and made up some BS excuse that reservations got crossed, etc. Guy, we know what you did. (As a side note- my wife, who is a teacher, had her end of the school year gathering with her teacher friends here as well. The restaurant did the same thing where they gave away the reservation for the private room to a larger group without telling them. They had also paid for some food items in advance but did not get them or a refund.) My dad tried to talk to Tony, ask for some kind of accommodation for the inconvenience but was instead met with complete disrespect as Tony just spoke over him, passed it off like nothing, and walked away. Now comes time for the bill. For convenience sake, it was all on one bill. My dad asked our waiter to speak to Tony about comping the appetizers ($28) for the inconvenience and was told that he was gone (meanwhile we had just seen him walk behind the bar not a minute prior). Our waiter, who is not at all to blame, tried to explain that he cant do anything to alter the bill and since it obviously isnt his fault, the bill was paid as-is. My parents will not being going back. My family will not be going back. My siblings families will not be going back and everyone who mentions this place will hear this story. The food is great. The management is not. They obviously dont value customers that make a reservation and are blatantly disrespectful to them when a bigger group comes along. If youre a couple going out for dinner, Im sure the dining experience will be good but if youre a group looking to make a reservation then I would go somewhere else. Spago perhaps.
The best restaurant ever! Service was amazing, and food was fantastic :) Kid-friendliness: My kids loved the servers, they made them a delicious Shirley temple and always served with a smile. Food : 5/5 |
The meal we received seemed as though it had been under a heat lamp all day with zero heat in the middle of my chicken parm. It was also overcooked and served on top of bolagnas pasta which was cold. Truth be told, its honestly, the worst chicken parm Ive ever had dinning out. With the lack of quality and lack of actual management in attendance we were basically told nothing reasonable could or will be done about the meal price even after contacting management the next day. We chose to dine out as many in attendance were from out of town. Our mistake was choosing this restaurant as the price doesnt match the quality. Ill give them that they have a good atmosphere here but the food is lackluster at best. **In response to the owner. I sadly had to pay $1400+ for my group. Everyone involved in the day was very unimpressed. Most places wouldnt serve bolagnas with chicken parm...and it wouldnt be cold. Seriously, you need to check into this and not just make a joke of reviews.
Always a good experience and great food at La Rucola. Ahi tuna is cooked to perfection every time. Highly recommend.
Went for a family gathering. Meals were preordered in advance. Service was terrible. The meal came out late. Pasta was ice cold. The chicken parmesan was paper thin and hard as a rock. There are many better authentic Italian restaurants to choose from than this one.
Chicken parm was over cooked. Pasta was cold. Owner has to learn about good customer relations. My review to friends do not dine there I won t ever again.
Order some gnocchi for take out and it was definitely not worth the money. Although it tasted good it was a very small serving not equal to what k paid.
Great food and service! Continues to impress every time I go!
It was nice .. food was served very quickly. Food was decent.. but I will definitely go back. To try something different on the menu. I had the lobster ravioli.
They had no record of our reservation. Food was delicious, but barely enough. Service was poor. We had difficulty getting a second glass of wine. We were asked how our food was and we had not yet touched it.
Website says open at 12:00 pm. I had several elderly guest who find it hard to walk meet me at the restaurant only to find out they are actually closed. As I was getting back into the car, I saw another patron Walking into the restaurant and advised them that they are not open. The person responded by stating they are the owner and they only update Facebook. I told her that doesn t help your patrons that use your Google ad. It was obvious she could care less. What a waste of time.
Food and drinks were amazing. I highly recommend the espresso martini and Veal Parmesan!
We had our office Christmas party there. Their staff were very helpful, providing great service. The food, especially the starters, was amazing.
This was an enjoyable night out with family to celebrate a retirement over dinner. It was loud but the band was really appreciated and their performance was great. The service was great. The atmosphere was dark and gorgeous and the ambiance was enchanting. Nice decorative touches. The washrooms were nice. The dishware was really nice but there were stickers on the bottoms of the plates, intact, which made me wonder if they were just purchased. I brought and wore ear plugs as I wear them everywhere which helped preserve my hearing. The favourite dish at the table was probably tortellini alla Panna. I will be back. The servers went above and beyond for some things. Parking: There was a lot of free available parking in the lot. It was busy but parking was very close.
Looking forward to a good Italian meal for Father s Day to turn up disappointed. My meal did not taste Italian and the portion size was so small. Everyone at the table left hungry and dissatisfied. One person at our table had the courage to speak up about their meal and the waiter didn t even acknowledged what she was saying as if she didn t even say anything. I should have read the reviews before going as I saw someone that ordered veal and said it was the best fish he had ever had. Not ever returning and don t recommend this place to anyone
Not helpful
Great calamari and veal chop!
Great food, wait staff need to be way better at regularly attending to patrons.
Food was delicious
Best calamari appetizers in town.
Great trattoria in Lakeshore. The food is delicious and clearly prepared with care and attention. Excellent service; our server was friendly, attentive and efficient. Next time we are in Windsor we will be back.
We love the food and the service is great!
Was there with a party for a birthday. Charcuterie plates for the party were okay but not great. The black olives were just not good on them. The appetizer pizza was good and crispy. The calamari was really good but the accompanying sauce was just ranch. The waiter completely skipped me an didnt even take my order so I just finished with the apps. One of my friends ordered a salad, got lots of lettuce but none of the fruit or cheese. They ended up taking the replacement home instead of eating it there. Not sure when so many people are there ordering and drinking was the service so lack luster and they automatically got 18% tip.
Great service & Food
Veal was meh pasta sauce had no flavour or meat. Prices were a bit high. My wife loved the thing she ordered though.
Noisy near the bar. Waitress didnt check up on our needs.
Amazing wine, food, and service! Pricey for the portion received, though I ll visit again!
I love Italian food but this first time going there will be my last time. service was great but food was really tasteless to us and vegetable were almost raw and no taste, for the price its definitely no.
Awful New Year s Eve party with awful food, atmosphere and service. Don t came here.
Excellent food, service, and atmosphere. The dinning room is clean and so are the washrooms. Weve been here twice and there was live music both times. The 4.2 star rating is suprising to me as some other Italian restaurants in Windsor have higher average google reviews for an inferior experience. La Rucola is definitely one of our favorites.
Awesome food, although my past was a bit cold and my wife s veggie wasn t hard (not well cooked) but everything was pretty good
The food and service were both exceptional. A fantastic dining experience.
I loved our waiter, he was a well respectful young man. And the band that was playing was the icing on the cake onto of the great food
Great service, great food and wine
Im not Italian, but Im not sure why my vegetarian wife makes a MUCH better Bolognese sauce. Makes no sense to me, should that not be the hard hitter!! At any Italian joint. Maybe it was just an off night. I would go back.
Crowded and loud- waiters seemed to be having a tough time trying to get around. They were friendly though, albeit young and a bit less knowledgeable. Do not eat the stuffed mushrooms. Dont do it. Three people who had eaten one spent more time in the washroom than at the table.
Great food and wonderful service. My mom is very picky and this is one place we enjoy returning to with her. Vegetarian options: Good vegetarian options
If you are looking for an authentic Italian fine dining experience, this is the place in town. Every single thing on the menu looks delicious. Mozzarella balls were amazing. Veal with creamy sauce was the best fish I have had. Staff is great, ambiance is incredible for a romantic date Live music on Friday and Saturdays Do make reservations as this is a very popular place.
Great service and great food.
The service here was beyond what you would would hope for when visiting a busy restaurant on a saturday. Multiple staff members check in on us at every perfect time, as though they read our minds! The live music and friendly atmosphere is worth the visit. Would absolutely recommend!
Half restaurant was closed for private event but nobody on that side? Needed private space but they could not accomodate.
Good food good service. bad parking lot
Absolutely loved the service and the atmosphere was spot on.
Just came back from Tuscany and this place did not disappoint. Great friendly staff (he must be the owner) and quality of food. The shrimp (langostine) top notch more like lobster.
Excellent food and even better customer service. Highly recommended
Great place to go with family and friends or for a romantic night out.
We went here for the first time this week and both the food and service were excellent. We had a great Caesar salad and we both had lamb, which also was great. We had a nice bottle of California wine with it. We would recommend this restaurant.
We have been 3 times now, its a tasty and convenient mid point to meet friends and family from Bell River for dinner. The food is always excellent, the service decent (last visit they had just one server on a Sunday evening seemed odd, poor kid bounced between a dozen tables), and the music is just this side of too loud. Might not be as bad if its Italian folk music, but its been pop music. Were not done sampling the menu yet though, and last visit we requested a quieter corner which helped.
A wonderful Italian restaurant with wonderful execution of every menu item.
amazing server!
Great atmosphere My mixed berry Paloma was very refreshing. And the food is delicious. I highly suggest coming here, I cant wait to come back in the summer and have some cocktails on the patio. Food
Expensive and small portion
Excellent food and the service was impeccable.
Everyone enjoyed their meals except for my husband who ordered the chicken fettuccine. He gave it 6/10.
Food was delicious like usual. Our sever Paulo was amazing!!! Always a great experience.
We had reservations elsewhere to celebrate our 24th anniversary with my husband, that reservation flopped. We got to the restaurant at almost 10 pm, they kept the kitchen open to serve us. To make our special day possible. They even offered a complimentary beverage. Absolutely 100% great customer service.
You should change the price on the website..... And tell the customer that the portion are smaller than before! So you pay more for less! Not good! Food
Good quality food. Nice live music on the patio
La Rucola delivered a phenomenal experience for our engagement party. The service was outstanding, and the food was unforgettable. Tony and his staff went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable. The live music was an amazing added touch. Highly recommend for any special occasion!
Excellent food, service and atmosphere. Best restaurant in Tecumseh. Tony and his talented team are amazing and make you feel at home. Must try!!!
Beautiful place, nice staff (though they didntt seem that knowledgable about the wine they were serving, the youth waiting on us had excellent technique and were all smiles and politeness). They have amazing pizza (on par with actual Italian cuisine I had in Venice) and ravioli. Their salmon with truffle honey is GREAT. Id avoid their creme brulee, though. Thank you for the great evening guys!
We really enjoyed our wine and meal. Staff was courteous, meals were good, and venue clean. I really like the creative dividers between tables. Vegetarian options: There were few vegetarian options; risotto and gnocchi
Very odd to post this... place looks amazing, service was outstanding but we ordered 3 dishes and none tasted good. Not sure what happened, was super excited to try this place. Oh well!!
Great pizza from a brick oven
Food is always exceptional here. Salmon cooked beautifully with the skin crispy leaving the salmon moist and delicious. It s unfortunate that the restaurant could definitely use a good scrub down. The walls are stained and the wine bottles probably have an inch of dust on them.
This review is based on my selection only. I ordered the chicken Marsala. The chicken was tough and the vegetable side was inedible and unappetizing in appearance. The service was exceptional. Others in our party enjoyed their meals of lasagna, chicken parmesan, risotto and tortellini. One other in our party ordered the salmon which came with the same inedible side vegetable I got, which she also did not eat. Live entertainment began just as we finished our meal. Unfortunately, the music was so loud we couldn t talk over it and had to continue our conversations outside in the parking lot.
Food used to be better here, but it seems like their standards have dropped. Pizza is disgusting - nothing like Italian pizza, and ravioli is simply a disaster. Some other things were decent: fresh bread with EVOO, penne with blush sauce.
Very upset at how we were treated. Dont go there if you have a walker. I have 3 friends with walkers.. some Tony guy was upset with our group and where we parked our walkers..plus said they didnt serve pizza for lunch. But offered it to a gentleman at the bar..felt very discriminated. Shame on them.. will never go back. Word of advice. Dont go there if you have a disability. .
Stopped in for lunch such great food and our server was very attentive. Will be back again. Tecumseh is beautiful.
Amazing food, amazing service. You dont have to drive to Erie st. To get some Devine Italian cuisine.
1st time visit. Very friendly staff. Food was good. Will be back.
What an amazing restaurant the service and food is phenomenal
Great food and classy atmosphere
Extremely disappointing with the seafood pasta, It was actually the worst pasta dish I ever had in my life. I had two bites and couldn t stand the smell, no taste and the shrimp looked like it was from a can.
Great food. Excellent service.
Atmosphere is really pleasant. But the food the food is great.
It was a pleasant surprise. Very good service, very friendly and professional. Very good food, surprised by the menu.
Simply great! The food is outstanding! Great service and very cozy atmosphere!
We came in on Friday Nov 24 . There was a guy playing music which would have been nice but he was so loud we couldn t hear each other very well. Also, our server was a young guy and we had to ask several times for a wine list and had to remind him that we were waiting to get our wine when we were already eating our meals. He didn t really know how to open the bottle. Never were offered any dessert and he was not very engaging. I blame the management for not training him properly.
theres a bald guy that works theree in the kitchean hes good but the. resturant is good because the guy in the back thats bald does everything he kinda owns the place he does everything servering bring out bread and brings food out. i hope they keep him there for a while and somone doesnt inveded the resturant. Vegetarian options: good
Delicious traditional Italian food is always on the menu at this restaurant conveniently located in a mini mall at a major intersection.
Food was great , server was excellent . Great suggestions . 5 star all the way
Came here for a work Christmas party on Friday. Our spot was a little tight, but this was expected considering the size of our party. Everything was delicious, and the lamb chops were one of the most memorable parts of the dinner. Will be back again.
It took two hours for us to get our food, then when we got our food the muscles on my pasta dish were bad. The service was good but the food and the amount of time we sat and waited for our food was terrible
Delicious fresh and very tender meats, pasta al dente, great service, very welcoming ambiance!
So slow but good stuff
Food, atmosphere and service is always consistent and a great experience from start to finish. Thank you for taking care of us!
Disappointing experience . The staff was busy but that does not justify ignoring our table. We had to ask for bread while waiting for our food, that took forever to come. The food was tasteless and disappointing. Why would we ever go back to a place with such a poor service and terrible food? There are many better Italian restaurants around!
Bit of a bokkimg snafu, but they did their best to accomplish.Good fresh food, friendly staff, great pizza. Definitely come back.
The staff is great!
Always have a great meal here.
Dinner and a show.
Food and service excellent. Despite being busy, we were served in a timely manner. Would highly recommend.
amazing food ! lovely atmosphere
The food was great, the only issue was the entertainment was to loud. Could not have a conversation without yelling across the table.
Great food and staff! Also great date night option!!!
As always the food, service and atmosphere was amazing! Always love when the occasion comes up where we get to go eat out at LA Rucola
Osso bucco was delish. Nice atmosphere on Friday with live music. Service was excellent. Good range in menu, from apps to pasta to pizza. Enjoy
We had a wonderful meal and the service was perfect Great place to celebrate a special birthday to my granddaughter Thank you
It was very good and the wiater was curtious and promt at taking our orders even through it was a very busy place with parties.
Excellent
Fantastic Food!! Staff is super friendly and knowledgeable. There is a little bit of a wait for food, but its so worth it because its so fresh!!!!!! I didnt even mind! The environment was fun to socialize in too! Very intimate =] I definetly reccomend trying this place out if youre going on a date or looking for something high class!!!
I was able to make a group reservation with ease for my daughters confirmation. The food was delicious and the servers were amazing. The owner was very friendly and personally came out to our table to make sure everything was okay. I was very happy with the service.
Excellent service, atmosphere and above all, food. Even though there were two large parties going on, the staff made us feel right at home and everything came out in good time. Delicious bread, followed by light egg drop soup, and then the best lasagna I have had in a long time. And best of all, close to home and no need to travel vast distances to get a lovely Italian meal. Too full for dessert, we shall have to return and try it next time. Great wine list too!
I was verrrrry disappointed with my visit here. I ordered a drink and there was old minced garlic stuck to the rim of the glass so my first sip of my cocktail was so so gross. They DID make me another with a clean glass though. We placed our order and I guess the machine didnt work so the order didnt go through and we ended up waiting forever for our food. The risotto was so salty it was nearly inedible and the ravioli was such a paltry portion we had to stop to get more food on the way home. I wont be back.
Very good
Beautiful venue, excellent cuisine and wonderful wine list
Great service, delicious dinner. Blackened ahi tuna, gorgonzola stuffed mushrooms, Caesar salad, even the bread with oils... all excellent.
Amazing food and staff!
Waiter wouldn t split the bill. I waited 15 minutes for him to remove 3 meals & 2 apps off the bill. He told me somebody already gave the card and he had to allow them to pay. The bill was 450 plus a mandatory $85 gratuity. I explained I did not want anybody paying for my meal and want it off. He agreed and had me wait away from the table while he served tables. He kept walking past me and thought I would just forget about it. After waiting outside and missing time away from a family fairwell meal I went back in to find he had already let someone else pay. I was not impressed - server cared only about a tip/gratuity. Very obvious and sad. I would have gave a large tip is the bill was separated as well. Now I will never return because of the nonsense. Low rating based on service. The meal itself was just okay.
Mediocre food, tiny portions, pizza oven was broken, not impressed, would never go back
Our realtor told us we had to check out this place since we just moved into the neighbourhood. We got the chance to last night. Everything was delicious.. we had drinks, apps, entrees and dessert. All super tasty!! Our server Jaclyn was super nice and great at what she does. We ll definitely be back!
Vegetarian options: Plenty of meatless options. Wheelchair accessibility: 1 level. No steps. Wide aisles. Tables are good height for wheelchair seated.
Enjoyed the lasagna
Mmmmm
DONT EAR THERE, THE OWNER IS A THIEF AND NOT A GOOD PERSON, LIKES TO STEAL FROM PEOPLE, FOR A MEASLY $10
The service it s great,,the food little to expensive but very good
Had my grandmas 90th bday here and it was epic. All the food was delicious, fun atmosphere, very nice staff!
Great food, and a pleasant atmosphere. I will definitely go again.
Bello and delicious
We decided to go to La Rucola for some food between the two sessions for my fathers service. Food was great, we got the shrimp, calamari and pizza for aptz. Then Caesars salad, pasta, stuffed chicken, potatos and green beans for entree. All were great. Service was great and staff were accommodating. Definitely recommend this place.
Pleasantly surprised, cheese especially on antipasto platter was amazing, grilled octopus was wonderful, risotto was the best Ive had, great job considering lately the comments Ive heard was a hit or miss on quality. Attended for a dinner and learn , definitely need a screen for presentation and curtains did nothing for the noise , perhaps doors to the separate room would be better? Parking: Enough spots Wheelchair accessibility: Yes
Went there Friday night for son-in-laws BD as a surprise.didn t turn out to b a surprise, cause when daughter came in with the BD boy and family, they told her (after 6 minutes)have seat at the bar, she then replied we have reservations, and the manager said oh your table for 10 is in the back. Didn t get drinks for 1 1/2 hour. They brought one little basket of bread for ten people, had to ask repeatedly for a single glass of water. Service was deplorable, food was mediocre, shrimp appetizer tasted so fishy we couldn t eat, mushroom caps were mushy and also had a foul taste. Dinner wasn t any better. Chicken parm, 3 of us got and there sauce had a very different taste( not a great one) I do know what Italian cooking or fine dining Italian taste like and they are no way near. The music was so loud we had a hard time hearing each other, the manager said they just turned it down, I believe he turned it up. Most frustrating experience ever. Inexcusable experience, there was 10 people that will never go there again. What a shame $600+ Ps: I have never commented before on any place, but 3 hours for a disgusting experience left me No choice.. Dinner Beware!!
The food was reaalllly salty. I loved the atmosphere, the wine was as good as wine usually is. The waiter got our order wrong but he ended up leaving the correct meal in a to go container. We all had a good bruschetta, but only had 2 or so bites of each dish due to such large amounts of sodium. I had the panceta with mushroom cream sauce, my children both had Gnocchi and my husband had seafood pasta(originally supposed to be just muscles) the muscles were not fresh. My older child spat her first bite out and didnt eat any more. My younger one finished her plate and then said she had such a bad stomach ache she cried on the way home. I sympathize with the waitress who may be new, but the cook was clearly having issues. We took nothing with us, and me being 3 glasses of wine in, I was quite upfront about my displeasure. The waiter apologized but that didnt make up for my husbands botched birthday dinner with our children. I asked my husband if hed like desert he laughed joking that he might not be able to taste the sugar over the salt. A severe disappointment.
Yummy yummy! Service could be improved but the quality of the food is way above average for Windsor-Essex county. Brought me back to Europe! I recommend every dish I got though the pasta dish lacked some flavour (but the noodles themselves were excellent). Wish there were more restaurants that made this style of food.
The atmosphere was good. Id enjoy just drinks here. Presentation was good as well, but the food is overly salty.
Great food, customer service and atmosphere. Definitely a well spent evening
It was our first time and cannot wait to return. Food and atmosphere were spot on. Wine list excellent and made for a memorable lunch.
Pasta imported from Italy. Best Ive had, hands down. Linguine Pescatore was absolutely fantastic! Ceasar salad super yummy too! Would have preferred regular Italian bread to the flatbread served, but other than that it was perfect. Food
Slowest service in this restaurant. This is the second visit and it was consistently slow for drinks, apps and mains. 2 1/2 hours for our entire experience.
Quality food in a pleasant atmosphere. Friendly service. Parking: Located in a strip mall with plenty of parking on site Food : 5/5 |
Very lovely atmosphere and the food was very good. Wait staff is very attentive. Great place for a date or work function.
Seated outside this past Friday night. Four of us placed at a table sized for two people. No space for our plates and glasses. We had to put our water glasses on the cement next to our chairs to make room. Unfortunately we had poor service that night too. We had to constantly ask to remove glasses and plates so we could have room. Forgot our order and had to get it a second time. Had to ask for bread since they forgot our table. Four pieces of calamari for $17.50. Cold food. Ended the night by bringing another table s leftovers to us . Overall just a horrible experience and will not be back despite previous good experiences at this restaurant.
Havent been there in awhile, but food was great so was the wine.
I never do this but I wish I could give a 0 star review on this place. We were a table of 10 with our reservation being at 8, we didn t get seated until 9. We were promised free appetizers and nothing came for the wait. Nobody brought us menus or water for the first 20 minutes. After waiting another hour and 15 minutes for our food, it came cold and at different times. The overall service was terrible, the owner was more focused on how the food tasted (which wasn t great) than actually fixing the issue. He tried giving us free Nutella pizzas at the end, but after waiting another 10-15 minutes, they didn t even start them so we left. Overall, I definitely wouldn t recommend for anybody and will never return again.
Good food, good service. Would recommend try.
Excellent meal with great ambiance. Always good here!
My first visit and I was very pleased. Our server Brittany was amazing. She made recommendations that were spot on and so friendly which made our whole experience wonderful. The complimentary bread was so delicious I had to fight myself from eating it all so I could leave room for my dinner. I had veal parmigiana and my husband had pizza, both were delicious. I will definitely would be back and would recommend them to friends.
Great food and friendly service, will go back there for sure.
The restaurant messed up our reservation time by an hour but they did set up for us. The servers were good but the service was a little confused. We had a big party and they struggled a bit to stay organized and keep up with thing considering the restaurant only had 3 other tables. Would go back but not with a big group again.
Ordered takeout and gave an hour and a half notice. Waited 25 minutes for our food once wed arrived to pick it up
Fabulous menu! And the food is amazing!
Disappointing first experience . The staff was very busy but that does not justify making us feel like an inconvenience. Definitely didn t welcome us or spend any time . No one asked us how our meal was or I would have told the person my pasta needed sauce .It was very dry .The other meals were excellent. This is my first post ever about a restaurant. The staff left such a negative impact on my experience I wanted to share.
Always good food and good service. A wonderful experience.
I never do this, but this review was a MUST. I wish I could give negative stars, but thats not an option. On September 3rd, my family and I ordered takeout, after we picked the order up and went home we realized we had been given the wrong order (mistakes happen). When we called to let them know they said they were sorry and that our order was sitting there ready. So my sister headed back to pick up the correct order. Our food was cold, tasteless and un-edible, so I called to let them know. The girl on the phone said the manager would be in at 8 and would call me right away to do a full return. As you can see in the picture, the food was still around the next the morning when I called AGAIN because I never received a call from the manager. The girl on the phone told me she was so sorry the manager didnt call, they were busy and that hes now on vacation until Tuesday, but will call then. Tuesday came and went and nothing. Since then Ive called multiple times and am never given the manager and have written many emails, and nothing. Overall I would NEVER recommend anyone wasting their money here.
Amazing!
Great atmosphere, service was very good. Had the veal parmagan, it was average. Would go back and try something different.
The food was very good, a good selection of food from pizza to pasta. Staff was very friendly and the environment was very welcoming.
Great food. But the price went up quite a bit. They didnt check vaccination records of their patrons
Fantastic experience from start to finish! Food was amazing! Will definitely go back!
