Anna Maria Trattoria in Woodbridge

Had an incredible dinner at Anna Maria Trattoria! Staff was very attentive and friendly throughout the whole meal, especially our server Maria. She made everyone at our table feel so welcome and made sure that we had everything we needed at all times. Overall, great dining experience with warm and relaxing atmosphere and delicious food and excellent staff. Would definitely recommend for your next occasion!

Maria served us impeccably

Tried Anna Maria Trattoria late at night and were amazed by the service provided and the food was top notch. Maria our server was the best, provided us with information about the restaurant and went above and beyond to ensure we had the best experience. Highly recommended!!

Amazing place to eat authentically prepared southern Italian food. Highly recommended.

Fantastic food and quality service - would return for sure

The pizza can go toe to toe with any pizza in the area! Pasta was Al dente- cooked to perfection The service was excellent with a friendly feel- eat here ASAP! Food

The food was delicious and the service was great. Vicky s tiramisu was amazing! Definitely will be coming back.

The food was excellent, the staff was very nice and gave us an excellent customer services. The store is a local Italian restaurant. I will come back for sure.

The food was amazing, would definitely go back

Wow! We were at Anna Maria Trattoria yesterday and omg what a place!! This was our first time as we are from California. I really wish they had a place where we live. The food was so good and the portions are huge. We had lasagna that tasted so fresh and the tomato sauce was unbelievable. The pizza made nice and crispy and the fried calamari were delicious. The ownership came around table to table greeting us and making sure all was good. The wait staff were very professional. Thank you for a great dining experience

The food and portions was excellent. Service very fast and polite.

All went here for a party. There were 15 of us and this restaurant was absolutely amazing. It was packed. The food was delicious, the staff were great. I come from a restaurant background so I know quality food when I see and taste it. Overall a great experience Well come again

UPDATE: I was impressed by how quickly they responded to my review. Less than an hour after I posted it, I reached out to Maurizio. He was apologetic and eager to make things right, even inviting me to return. He explained that most of the staff had changed, and those involved in the past incident were likely no longer there. I appreciated his openness, willingness to listen, and understanding approach. I will again update this review after I go back. ----- This review is long overdue, but this experience has stayed with me and still weighs on my heart, which is why I ve never gone back. I sometimes think about that day, feeling a bit embarrassed, though, in hindsight, it shouldn t have unfolded the way it did. I went for lunch with my two sisters, and we even ordered dessert. The food was great, and the décor had Italian features. The tables were close together, but that was okay. The service, however, left a lasting impression for all the wrong reasons. When it was time to pay, my sister, who was treating us, realized she didn t have quite enough cash. I had plenty of loose change and offered to cover the difference. As I started counting out the coins, my sister, feeling a bit self-conscious, asked me to put them away, saying she d cover the rest with her debit card. I insisted it was fine, thinking it wouldn t be an issue. But as our server approached to collect the payment, my sister overheard them mutter, Make sure to double-check; they might try to stiff us. They look cheap. Embarrassed, she quickly pushed my hand back and paid the remainder with her card. The server s attitude remained curt, and we left feeling disappointed. Later, my sister apologized, explaining she wanted to come across as mature, not cheap. I understood, but even now, I m surprised the server would say something like that within earshot. As for why we didn t alert the manager, we were young and thoroughly embarrassed. Psychologically, we weren t in the best mindset to escalate. Whenever I scroll through Google Maps and see this restaurant pop up, it stirs up a tinge of sadness. We were just young, hoping to enjoy a nice meal out, but instead, it turned into a bittersweet memory.

Dinner was excellent the portions are very generous There new menu is amazing Thank you to the staff for making our night out a fantastic experience . Food : 5/5

We had family lunch for the first time here with both my sons, my husband and I. We were very pleased by Victoria s service and the food was excellent. Very nice heartfelt birthday moments with Victoria, a very special thanks from all of us. We highly recommend; good food, good place, good people, good find.

Had a wonderful lunch and very much enjoyed the atmosphere. Food was delicious. Server Maria was professional and lovely to talk to. She made the experience a 10.

What a disappointing dinner my party of 4 recently had here (Nov. 5th) The kitchen took over 45 minutes to bring our entrees. Strike 1. My Linguine Alla Diavola was completely underwhelming; bland, heavy on the pasta, and scarce on the meat. Ive had better hospital food. Strike 2. My partner asked for a glass of flat water, but instead the waiter brought an $8 bottled water. The waiter never brought me the 2nd beer I ordered. Strike 3. The dining room was drafty each time the front door was opened. It was also noisy, making conversation difficult. Non-stop recorded background music didnt help either. On the positive side, my partners Fettuccini Mare Mondo was tasty and well prepared. Maybe Ill order that next time . . . take-out.

Amazing place, delish food, Great service. Would recommend anyone! Maria always treats us with respect and provides great food.

Great authentic Italian food. Tends to be a bit busy, however thats how you know your getting great food and service.

Great dinner here on Saturday night. We were 6 of us and all enjoyed the new menu and the portion sizes. We had lots left over and took it home for the next day. They were so busy and could have used another server

Such a great experience from the atmosphere, to the food and service. It was my first time at this restaurant and I felt the need to share my opinion. The food was excellent, very fresh, hot, and tasty. The service was outstanding!! Maria and Victoria showed us excellent care and accommodation. They were very welcoming and helpful. The Italian music was the cherry on top. My family will definitely come back to this restaurant!! Vegetarian options: They take great care of you here, just let them know what your restrictions are and they will recommend some options to you! I am a vegan and had bruschetta, with pasta and salad. Amazing food with great help from Maria and Victoria!!

Great authentic homemade Italian. Had the fettuccine mare mondo and tiramisu. Both were wonderful and our server was delightful. This will be a go to when I m in the area. Dietary restrictions: They have gluten free pasta options Parking: Parking is easy and very close to front door

Amazing vibe with great food! A special thank you to Victoria, our server, for her kind hospitality!

Food was excellent, would absolutely go again!!!!! Looking forward to next time.

My first visit there. From the time we arrived, to the time we left, it felt like home. Food was excellent. I recommend the homemade gnocchi in vodka sauce, it was delicious. Also had to have a pizza, it ranks up at the top on my scale. Thanks Johnny, all the best in continued success. Also had a chance to have a coffee with the owner s Father and Uncle. Great Blood lines those Caranci s!!!

Nice quaint ambiance. Victoria our waitress was attentive although service was a bit slow. The place has a nice patio but in the summer months could use some real flowers instead of fakes. I had the Pasta e Fagioli as a main as it was a substantial size. Coffee is excellent!! The grilled calamari were very delicious as stated by fellow diner as were all the fish entrees we didn t try any of the pastas Parking: No problem with parking. Can park right in front of restaurant.

Maria was so sweet and extremely attentive. The food was delicious. Pepperoni and bacon pizza to start. Penne aka vodka shared with a veal parmigiana dinner. Claudia the chef is the real Nonna!!! So authentic like Puglia Italy!! From The Moose!!!! Food

Can you be my grandma

We visited Anna Maria Trattoria for the first time tonight, and were absolutely AMAZED by the wonderful service and delicious food. We has the mussels, gnocchi, Caesar salad & pizza! Our server Maria made us laugh and enjoy the dinner beyond words. We are so incredibly impressed with her and her service! Thank you for an amazing night

Had dinner for the first time here and the service, food, and atmosphere was top shelf. Highly recommend this restaurant. Food is very authentic. They dont shortcut you on portions.

Absolutely the best Italian food, the best service and the best tiramisu we have ever had.

My friends and I came here for dinner tonight and our experience was amazing! The kids enjoyed their pastas and pizzas and the adults loved the calamari and pasta. The service was great. Sam, Maria and Victoria always made sure we were taken care of. They even gave little treat bags to the kids for Halloween. We will definitely come back in the future. If you re in Vaughn, and craving Italian would definitely recommend this spot!

The food was absolutely spectacular. Victoria was very friendly. True authentic Italian food. Highly recommend it. We came all the way from markham and toronto. Thank you.

My mom and I love Anna Maria Trattoria! We live across town so dont get there too often, but are constantly comparing all the Italian we taste to the food here! The portions are so generous, delicious and authentic. Would highly recommend :)

Great evening dining at Anna Maria Trotteria last night. The food was to die for ! Absolutely delicious & the service was 2nd to none. Will definitely be going back!

The food was delicious, friendly service and great atmosphere cant wait to go to this place again and check out their new added menu - so much to choose from. George Tamburri

Very delicious food. Specially the eggplant parmesan was the best. Maria provided amazing service. We will definitely be coming back.

Amazing Italian place

My first (dine in) experience at Anna Marias was Oct 20, 2024. The food was excellent ... pasta was perfectly el dente ... the steak was large, tender and beautifully cooked. The wait staff were friendly, pleasant and attentive. Each course was brought out in a timely fashion and empty plates removed quickly to avoid clutter on the table. I would highly recommend Anna Marias to anyone looking for great, home cooked, authentic Italian dishes. Well Done !

Lovely family reunion held here! The atmosphere was lovely and the staff so nice, personable and provided incredible service! The entire meal was delicious and an amazing experience. We will be returning for all our family reunions in the future!

Welcoming ambiance

Hidden gem mom and pop Italian restaurant. So delicious and reasonable price.

Wonderful night out. Maria was a great host. The food was delicious, and the gelato divine ! Parking: Lots.

Food is phenomenal! We had the grilled calamari as an app and Chicken Marsala and Branzino for the 2 mains and they were fantastic. Will be back for sure! One bonus thing: the washrooms are super clean, which goes to show the overall cleanliness of this restaurant. A true hidden gem.

First time at this eatery; dropped in for a light lunch on Labour Day. The atmosphere is Italian-style hospitality! Our waitress Vittoria was welcoming, accommodating and engaging. The calamari perfectly fried; not greasy. The pasta and fagioli delicious and the pizza crisp and not soggy! Good value and the portions are a healthy size! We met Claudia, the cook to thank her for the home-style food preparations. Will definitely return! Kid-friendliness: Senior friendly! Wheelchair accessibility: The trattoria is situated on ground level.

Wonderful home cooked food, just like nonna used to make! The veal parmigiana is wonderful and the sauce is exceptional. Maria was a great host, friendly and welcoming; just a pleasure!

Great service from Maria!! Calamari was great, and would definitely recommend.

AMAZING service and excellent food!!! Maria did an amazing job of looking over my family and I for a birthday celebration. We would come back here just to see her!!

As always, an absolute fav. Everything I ever order here is just amazing. I love that its not a super fancy & high end place where you pay for nothing. Im happy paying for Anna Marias bc the focus is simply on the food and quality. Thank you Anna Maria

recommended by Italian neighbors.. great and delicious food! reasonably priced. plan to come back

Victoria our server was absolutely incredible. It was so busy that day we went in but the food was amazing and her service was outstanding. She made sure every single person was happy, she was efficient and so kind! The food was incredible! Definitely want to come back again!

first time coming here and it was absolutely amazing. the food, the service, everything was amazing. the lady working was so sweet, she has one of the best customer services i ve seen in a while and she really goes out of her way to do things. i m personally a vegetarian and i hadn t noticed the pasta i ordered had pork in it, and she didn t hesitate to get it switched, no charge. The Gnocchi was super delicious and i really recommend it.

Very nice place good food and the service was great BUT again too expensive, probably not their fault do to higher food prices out so I blame the GOVT for NOT reeling in the grocery stores heads

Amazing food!

Great food and service Came here for work event Food : 5/5

I have been twice now and have had 2 wonderful meals. On both occasions, the meal was mostly fish, and I was not to be disappointed either time. Mussels, grilled calamari, fried fish, pasta with fish and the branzino. Everything was very well executed. Our server both times was the same person, Maria. She was lovely, attentive, provided excellent recommendations and really helped to make the meal memorable both times.

Coming from far away from Taiwan, I ate the best Italian food in Canada. The charming aroma, rich and pure sauce, and each pasta dish have thick layers, which are endlessly memorable

When it comes to finding authentic Italian cuisine in Vaughan, Anna Maria Trattoria is an absolute gem. Recently, I had the pleasure of dining there, and let me tell you it was an experience to savor! From the moment I walked in, the warm and welcoming atmosphere set the tone for a delightful evening. The cozy, rustic decor made me feel like I had just stepped into a charming trattoria in the heart of Italy. It was the perfect setting for a relaxing meal after a busy day. The highlight of the evening? Without a doubt, the authentic espresso and tiramisu. After indulging in a delicious plate of pasta, I was craving something sweet to finish off the meal. The moment the tiramisu arrived at the table, I knew I was in for a treat. Layers of delicate, coffee-soaked ladyfingers, rich mascarpone, and a dusting of cocoa it was perfection on a plate! Each bite was a delightful blend of flavors, and I could taste the love and care that went into making it. To complement the dessert, I ordered an espresso. It was bold, smooth, and had just the right amount of crema on top. The rich aroma and full-bodied flavor were exactly what I needed to end the meal on a high note. Sipping that espresso while enjoying the last bites of tiramisu felt like a little piece of Italy right there in Vaughan. But what truly made the experience special was the impeccable service. The staff at Anna Maria Trattoria were attentive, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about the food they serve. They made me feel right at home, and their recommendations were spot on. If you re in the Vaughan area and looking for a spot to enjoy authentic Italian cuisine, I highly recommend Anna Maria Trattoria. Whether you re there for a full meal or just popping in for an espresso and dessert, you re in for an unforgettable experience.

Victoria was great and she had good suggestions for our foods. Excellent food and service. Thanks Victoria.

Food was great, it s was holiday Monday and the place was pretty full, they had one server, Victoria but she did an amazing job with a smile on her face, food was delicious and good portions.

Their gnocchi is NOT homemade as they state on their menu. Homemade gnocchi would NOT be this al dente (hard). Their gnocchi are going to sit in my stomach for a week!

My husband and I were staying in Vaughan for a business trip he was on. We were wanting to have supper at a really good mom and pop kind of place and Anna Marias kept popping up as a suggestion. It was exactly what we were looking for! My husband got the veal chop which was perfectly cooked and tasted amazing! I got the fettuccine mare mondo which had scallops with alfredo sauce. It was so satisfying and had a really nice depth of flavor! We also had calamari fritti for an appetizer, light and crispy and beautifully seasoned. We were stuffed after! Victoria waited on us and she was lovely! She was so friendly and had really good suggestions for us. Overall, if you are looking for supper made by Nonna with that home cooked Italian feel with service that feels like the oldest friends that youve never met before, we highly recommend Anna Marias. Great experience!

Tucked away in a business plaza. Very warm and welcoming staff. The woman who tended to us was super accommodating. Food couldve been a little better; the company that was with me stated that the gnocchi was overcooked, and my veal parmesan left a bit to be desired. Would come back though.

The service and food was great! The tiramisu was authentic and the calamari (all the food really) tasted very fresh.

Amazing authentic food. Italian music playing in background. Great wine selection. We wanted to keep eating but we were both delightfully full. Victoria was a very attentive server. Highly recommend! Salute!

Nice place the food was authentic. I liked the little touches like bread on the table, and spicy peppers. I enjoyed my orecchette with sausage and rapini. My wifes gnocchi tasted homemade and the sauce was delicious. I recommend Anna Maria Trattoria. The portions are also very generous.

Service was good and the food was mid but 8 DOLLARS FOR WATER?!? The server didn t say anything about water being money and either way tasted like tap water. As for the food, my partner is vegetarian and while looking at the menu no where on the dish he ordered did it mention meat. There was meat in his food. Overall would not eat there again.

My family and friends went to Anna Maria trattoria to celebrate the memory of my wonderful mother. Everything was perfect: the food was delicious, the service was incredible and environment was absolutely gorgeous. From the moment we arrived, we were treated with the utmost attention and care. We started with the grilled and fried calamari and the bruschetta. They were all incredible. Next we had the freshest, most tasteful Branzino we have ever had. For dessert, we devoured the in house tiramisu. The coffee was truly a taste of Italia. We enjoyed this wonderful food and chatted for hours. Everyone had the most amazing time and we are already excited to return. I would like to give a very special thank you for Maria and Victoria for helping us make this family gathering so special!

I came here twice so far, once to celebrate my grandparents 60th wedding anniversary and to celebrate the memory of a loved family member. Both times I had the most amazing food and experience at Anna Maria Trattoria. For an appetizer, we had the fried and grilled calamari and very tasteful bruschetta. For the main we had the incredible branzino, and for dessert the in house tiramisu. By far the most delicious Italian food and beautiful environment that really brought us back to Italy. I cannot wait to come again! Special thanks to Maria and Victoria for making our experience so amazing!!!

I was visting here from the states with my family. Overall one of the best italian restaurants i ve been to. I highly recommend this place!

Was a little pricey for my lunch but well worth it, had the homemade gnocchi and meat sauce was very good and big enough I split it and had the rest for dinner

Great food, great service Authentic Italian food Definitely % recommended!!! Food : 5/5

You will not be disappointed! Ive held 2 big functions at this restaurant and both times they went above and beyond to make sure that everything was just right. The service is like none other - Vicky and John and all the people in the back make sure everyone is happy, well feed and having a great time. I will continue to make this place my #1 choice when holding big events or even just having a nice dinner with family and friends

After over 2 years of avoiding restaurants out of food anxiety, and restricted eating, I finally came to eat here for an event. Let me just say they accommodated us so much. If you are on restricted diets and have allergies, this place can accommodate you pretty well. Thank you to Vicky (and the other staff working behind the scenes) for all your hard work, kindness, and good food!

Great food and friendly staff , always a great experience

Went there for the first time with a friend for lunch. I ordered the pasta with Rapini which was amazing! My friend ordered fish with veggies and it was perfectly done and seasoned. We also had the tiramisu which was one of the best Ive had! The service was just amazing too!

The disgusting attitude towards the staff on the part of the management ruined the whole impression and the romantic evening was irrevocably ruined.

In this restaurant, the owner deceives the workers, doesn t pay them, and threatens them. Do not go to this place! Do not support such a business!

First time going and I will be back. The food and service was great, portion sizes were big and made with love. Wonderful experience.

Had a beautiful dinner. Lots of choices and the food was very good. The portions were so generous. The staff told us they have a new menu coming out in July. We cant wait!!

The soup and pasta was very good! The interior design of this place is nice, like Italy!!

Very good Italian food located in the suburbs of Toronto. The restaurant is located off the beaten path located in a more industrial area. Once inside the atmosphere was very nice and the service was excellent. Prices are reasonable.

We had our sons confirmation at Anna Maria Trattoria. Victoria helped us with the menu selection and was an amazing host. The food was delicious and portions were quite filling.

The food was ok, my pizza was not much better than frozen, service was friendly and accommodating, but it was very busy and we were jammed in tight.

Amazing food and great service

Anna Maria Trattoria left us with a lasting impression. From the moment we stepped through the doors, there was a warm ambiance and attentive service that set the stage for an unforgettable dining experience. The menu is a masterpiece we ordered the calamari fritti as our appetizer and for the main we had the salmon with risotto and vegetables but there s a diverse selection of fine Italian dishes. it s not just the food that elevates the restaurant it s the impeccable service. Anita was our waitress and she was very attentive. Definitely recommend a visit to Anna Maria Trattoria.

Amazing food. Great service. Especially on Tuesdays. Such a lovely lady serving

I just had my sons baptism here and honestly wow! From the very beginning they were extremely helpful and so kind. They constantly went above and beyond to make sure my sons day was special. My guest were extremely happy everyone could not stop talking about how sweet and helpful and how amazing the service was. As for the food its INCREDIBLE!! The flavours the portions everything was so perfect! As an Italian that makes her own sauce its hard to find an Italian restaurant that has sugo like Nonnas and this place definitely does! The atmosphere also 10 out of 10 really truly feels like your in a little restaurant in Italy Victoria was so incredible and the most helpful kind person! They way they even treated my son on his baptism day and the kind words they said were so touching. Even the owner himself was so accommodating, kind, and helpful that day! This place made us feel like family and I highly recommend it to everyone looking for a nice dinner and especially for your next event!

The Italian dishes at this restaurant are very delicious. The service staff is attentive and considerate. We recommend that you come and experience it.

Victoria our server was amazing, so friendly and helped recommend some dishes. Food was wonderful as usual. The strachatella soup was like Nonna used to make and the pasta with sausage and rapini was awesome. Vegetarian options: Lots of vegetarian options to chose within the appetizers, salads, pastas and pizzas Parking: Hugh parking lot no problem to find a spot

Thank you, Johnny, Victoria, and Anita, for making this celebration a memorable one. The food and service were amazing!

Excellent meal, great service. Pasta and gnocchi are made in-house and are very good. The Caesar Salad dressing is also made in-house. Great atmosphere!

My grandmother and I really enjoyed the food!It was delicious and Victoria was so welcoming. Will be coming back here.

Great place for authentic italian food Awesome service as well. Food

One of the best Italian restaurants that I have been. See food is amazing.

Great little place

Wow! I highly recommend Anna Maria s. The restaurant hosted our large group and the experience far exceeded our expectations. The food was absolutely delicious, the service was fast and the staff were amazing! Vegetarian options: The eggplant parmesan was so good! Kid-friendliness: Served over 20 kids with ease and the portions were very generous.

Coming from Montreal for a tournament Our second time in this restaurant Once you try it, you will come back. Amazing food and service! Wish they had a Anna Maria Trattoria in Montreal!

Absolutely delicious and loved the atmosphere of a quiet little mom and pop restaurant from Italy

This is a hidden gem in otherwise very industrial area. Great interior, great food. Generous portions and fair prices. Tiramisu was fantastic. Definitely worth a drive.

Love this place! I feel like I m in Italy when I go there

We had a group event at AM Trattoria the first weekend in February and they did a fantastic job. They were ready for our large group and their suggestion of preordering for the group (48 in total) was spot on. Johnny, Victoria and Nadia were our hosts/servers and they did a wonderful job. The food portions were very generous and delicious. Our team ordered several different options from the salmon to the chicken parm and eggplant parm and the feedback was that each selection was so tasty! The drinks and tiramisu were spot on as well. Nice cozy atmosphere that was perfect for both young and old. We hightly recommend! Thank you for working with our team- what a great night.

The place is nice, the food is delicious, the portions are good, the people who serve are very friendly and the bathroom is nice and looks clean. However, they do not have baby changing tables in the bathroom. I had to change my babys diaper on the bathroom floor. Needless to say, it was very uncomfortable and unhygienic.

Exceeded all expectations! Special thank you to Johnny for the exceptional service, the welcoming atmosphere, and the incredible food. Definitely a must-visit!

Extremely friendly staff, awesome authentic food, and great atmosphere! A nice cozy restaurant. Highly recommend!!

Worth the short drive off hwy 400. Food was great, good portion size, meatballs large soft, pasta tender, lots of seafood in the Mare Mondo. My son had the gnocchi which was sofa but not mushy and all sauces were very flavourful. Thanks for the great dinner and Gina our server was wonderful. Will be back for sure.

Lovely environment! Brings you back to Italy. Food is greaaaat. I definitely recommend and will be back soon :)

The best pasta in town! Love the food here!

Washrooms are atrocious! Please fix! The door at front opening and closing creates cold drafts.

Not the same as previous owners.

I was there Friday night I m a regular customer and I noticed there was a big difference. The restaurant was fully packed and the service was terrible. They couldn t get around to the tables fast enough. The owner was wearing a baseball cap and running shoes. He was not very pleasant, I don t know what happened to the chef I heard the chef is not there anymore but the food was fantastic when he was there. Unfortunately, it was a very big disappointment. It was a great day because it was my daughter s birthday and even those only four people we were not happy with the food quality at all. I think it was the owner who left me a message saying to call some Maurizio there s no need to be calling back anyway the food has been terrible for the last week week and a half. I have nothing more to say to the owner, I think he was the tall guy with a baseball cap, not once did he come to the table but I have to be honest the food was terrible and I have to wait very long time

My husband and I had a lovely dinner this past weekend. The gnocchi and the chicken parmigiana were both excellent. We also really enjoyed the bruschetta. Our waitress, Amanda, was very friendly and accommodating. We will definitely be back.

Five stars is not enough for this restaurant. I had such a wonderful experience! The decor, the service, and the food were top notch. The food was simple and fresh. I would definitely order the mussels and calamari appetizers. The main course dishes were also very good. But best of all, the chef and our server Sam were incredibly accommodating of my food allergies. After such a positive experience, I immediately changed a future reservation at another restaurant to this one. Thank you Sam, and all the staff.

My family and I used to come here all the time prior to the pandemic. The food and service was always excellent. Boy did that change. We were 6 family members and we came for dinner tonight(Friday night). The restaurant was very busy. We got seated but they took a long time to bring us water and menus. When the menus came we had to share as they did not have enough. Finally we ordered our food. After a long wait one person at our table received an under cooked pizza. The pizza came 40 mins before the rest of our food. Eventually we sent the pizza back because it was under cooked. When they brought the cooked pizza out we complained that the rest of us had not received our food and we all wanted to eat together. Instead of our server apologizing, he shrugged and blamed the kitchen staff. Finally, the rest of the food arrived and my husband had to wait for his. Finally his meal came. Some of us enjoyed the actual food but the others said it wasnt good like it used to be. When the bill finally came, we complained about the service. Once again there was no apology. To top it all 20 percent gratuity was added onto the bill for the 6 of us.

Im not sure how you determined that this is a fake review to lower your score but I can reassure you that it is not. My wife and I had a very unpleasant experience in your place. I can tell by your arrogance that its not even worth describing which is the very reason why I didnt explain it.

Thank you Sam, Gina and Johnny for making my son event so amazing. Food was amazing. Plates were big portion sizes. We had so much food during the antipasto. The calamari was delicious. The penne as always was to die for. The veal chop first time ordering it was an excellent choice. Big potion sizes. Garantee enough food for any event. Service was amazing. Again Sam and Gina made sure everyone was taken care of. Our guests were content. I will definitely return. Thank you for everything today. I highly recommend this place. Sam did a great job setting up the tables for the party. I appreciate your help.

We had Maria as our server and enjoyed every minute of our time in the restaurant really felt welcome! We didn t have reservations but they found us a table and the food was delicious! we ll definitely be back with reservations too!

Had my daughters confirmation celebration here on Saturday. Amazing food! Excellent service! Charming & inviting family restaurant! Sams hospitality & service was IMPECCABLE! Thank you again!

We celebrated my daughters 1st communion and had the reception at Anna Maria Trattoria. It was absolutely amazing, food was delicious, service from Sam (he is so funny & organized) and the other waiting staff were amazing. Such a great restaurant, cozy & initimate and makes you feel like your back in Italy. We will def be going back again and again!!! Thank you Johnny, Sam and all the staff @ Anna Maria Trattoria. Truly one of my favs!!!

Wonderful place. Very good food. Generous portions. Friendly and prompt service. They also had live music which was very good.

We had our daughters communion here and we loved it. Its a little small rustic setting, cozy and sweet. We loved the service, Sam was amazing and very welcoming. He allowed us to go the night before and setup after all the guests left. John was also very nice, accommodating and very gracious. The food was amazing especially the calamari. The Calamari was seasoned well and crispy. The chicken marsala was very flavourful and was accompanied by lovely vegetables. Would definitely recommend trying this restaurant for your functions or just a night out.

Delicious food! We went to celebrate an event and every single dish was great!

Was there last night with my family for Mother s Day and my birthday. Unbelievable, I have never experienced such awful, horrible service at a restaurant!! I am being kind when I say this. We arrived at 7:30 ordered appetizers and it took over an hour to receive. The waiter did not ask the 10 people at the table for a drink order the entire night. We had to ask!!! We had to ask for everything!! Sloppy poppy service!! Even with cutlery And plates..no order and very very disorganized. To Be fair the young girl was trying to make the best of bad service. The icing on the cake is when the waiter brought my birthday cake..:it was still inside the box and plopped in front of myself and waiter Just walked away. That was the last straw my husband blew up at him. The food was another issue..:I not even going to go there!!

I recently visited this establishment for a special occasion - Mothers Day and Birthday celebration, and was thoroughly disappointed by both the service and the quality of food. The service was abysmal. We waited an excruciatingly long hour and a half just for appetizers to arrive and for our orders to be taken. To make matters worse, our drink orders were entirely overlooked, leaving us parched throughout the meal. To top off the poor service, our waiter quite unceremoniously plopped the birthday cake we brought with us on our table. There was no offer to assist with cutting or serving, and no apology for the lackluster service. It felt as if he expected us to do it ourselves. On a positive note, one staff member - a young lady who was a runner - did manage to shine amidst the disappointing experience. She was aware of and seemed apologetic for our waiters incompetence. Regrettably, the food didnt make up for the service. The quality was subpar, and didnt meet our expectations, contributing to the overall dissatisfaction. Id advise potential patrons to approach this place with caution. The glowing reviews, it seems, must pertain to a time when the establishment was under different ownership. This was an experience I wouldnt wish on anyone, especially for an occasion meant to be special. It was a Mothers Day/Birthday celebration that fell painfully short of the mark. Response to owner: Dear Maurizio, Thank you for your response. While we appreciate your effort to rectify the situation, we have no interest in contacting the restaurant regarding these issues. Our experience was deeply disappointing, and we have made the decision not to return. Our intention with this review was not to seek reparations, but rather to provide information for other potential patrons about the quality of service we experienced. There might have been a manager present, but the waiter failed to alert the manager of the issue. It should not have been our responsibility to ask for a manager during our visit when the wait staff obviously noticed that things were taking way too long. At no point did the wait staff offer a conversation with the manager. Respectfully, the responsibility for delivering a satisfactory dining experience shouldnt fall onto the customer. The onus should be on the staff to provide an enjoyable meal, from the moment a customer walks in until they leave. If you wish to refund the meal, that would certainly be a gesture of goodwill. You can easily find the transaction details as my father paid for the meal on the said day. However, our decision to not return to Anna Maria Trattoria remains unchanged. Best Regards, Nick Corona

Wow!! This restaurant is a hidden gem!! We were there with friends and the food was so delicious. I had the braised short ribs OMG so tender you dont need a knife! They have a new chef from Italy and he greated us at our table. Keep up the great work!! Well definitely be back! We reserved, coming in on Friday night 12 people Thank you

Owner has not paid several staff members. He tells the labour board he will send it but never does so it has now been escalated Several news channels have been contacted so the owner can be exposed. He also leaves false reviews at their new place of work which he has not been too which is libel/defamation which is a cause of legal action because he was reported to the labour board for not paying wages and tips. He uses the name Rico Sassy. He put negative reviews at his competition restaurants and puts a positive one about his own,. He deleted his review for his restaurant 3 months ago when he opened his account and just deleted and renewed it recently. He also keeps tips. Beware and please do not support company s like this.

The food and service was excellent. Thank you to Johnny and Sam for everything. Exceptional service and cant wait to return for our daughters up-coming communion.

Today we celebrated the engagement for our niece Nikki and Chris... Let take about FOOD...The FOOD never stopped...You dont see large portions like this anymore and cooked to perfection... Thank you to the staff for making this a perfect day for Nikki and Chris... and a special thank you to Sam and Francesca for making us feel at home... The service was impeccable... We will be back... Lilly

We went out to Anna Maria Trattoria on Friday night and had a fabulous meal! I really enjoyed the grilled calamari and the fresh spaghetti!

This place is so awesome and authentic Love highly recommend. Hospitality is great. Thanks Sam

Had our daughters Communion celebration here and cant express how happy we were with our decision. The owner John made the whole experience painless and followed up with us several times to make sure we were ready to go the day of. The quoted price per plate was lower than expected and it included one of the best veal chops Ive had in a long time. Huge portion and cooked perfectly. Our guests were definitely satisfied and we feel like we definitely got more value than what we paid for. Highly recommended!

Great discovery! We went to eat there on a weeknight to celebrate a special occasion. The portions are generous, beautiful atmosphere, the servers are very charming and the dishes are delicious. I recommend.

Great mushroom risotto!

Amazing food and Amazing service, couldnt ask for a better experience would highly recommend

Gave it 5 stars, but its easily a 10 star experience.

Great Italian food in a cute spot made to feel like you re dining in Italy! Tried risotto for the first time ever and I am instantly a fan now. The pasta was great. Friendly servers and great place overall.

called ahead for a pickup order and when I got there is still took 30 for them to prep it cause they forgot or didnt take my order

Excellent food. I mean the definition of authentic Italian food. My new favorite restaurant for my family adventures to vaughn.

We are from out of town. My husband and I were looking for an Italian restaurant to have dinner. We went to a couple before this one, but they were too busy so that s what lead us here. Turns out, one of the best meals we ve ever had! This is a little hidden gem. Authentic Italian food and atmosphere. The bruschetta was amazing and tasted just like my Nonnas. Both of our meals were perfection. The portions were great. We will for sure be back every time we are in town!

I had an amazing dinner at Anna Maria with my favourite people last night as recommended by a friend. We had a great start with a few appetizers, calamari fritti which was fried to perfection and mouth watering Antipasto Calabrese . Pasta dishes included spaghetti alla chittarra with meat ball was like eating at nona Italian home kitchen! The sauce and the meatballs was just perfect . Seafood linguine was OMG good and the orechiette with rapini and sauage was so refreshing and savouring! Portion was very generous but how could we not having the homemade tiramisu! It didnt disappoint us and the made to order latte and cappuccino concluded our authentic Italian dinner which exceeded our expectation! And of course , dinner wouldnt be perfect without the excellent service by all the friendly staff members! Will definitely go back and try out the rest of the menu!

It was my aunt and I s first time there and we found it online. It was a beautiful aesthetic and atmosphere. Victoria was a great server and the food was delicious! I urge everyone to try this place for some good authentic Italian cuisine!

Best Italian restaurant in Vaughan, amazing service, great food, and a friendly environment

Great spot for quality Italian food- servers and hosts were amazing! Def my go to spot!! Highly recommend this restaurant for its quality.

One of the best places Ive eaten amazing food amazing atmosphere and great prices

Food was amazing and service was great!

FINAL UPDATE (#3) - For other two, please scroll to bottom. You can clearly see the man-child of an owners unhinged rant at the bottom, so you know what Im saying is true. Since Im being called a liar, I figured Id make the entire conversation public. I originally spoke to one of the restaurant owners Maurizio. Maurizio apologized left and right about the whole thing and promised that he wanted to make it right. Originally we just asked for the water to be refunded, but Maurizio stated that he didnt feel that was making it right and wanted to bring us in for a dinner on him. He also stated that he did not want us to remove or edit the review in any way and he stated this multiple times. After around 5 days, Johnny called and demanded we take down the review or Maurizios statements would not be honoured. Obviously we wont give in to bribery as we feel that reviews need to be honourable. Something Johnny clearly spits on. You enjoy your family run scam Johnny and continue watering down the in house made spicy oil :). Gotta penny pinch any way you can I suppose, including scamming your guests and attempting to buy them when they call you on it. Maurizio / Johnnys voice sounded the same, but their personalities varied wildly. Shame you had to go this way. Well be issuing a chargeback through our Credit Card company for the entire meal as this restaurant is clearly a scam. !!!!!WARNING!!!!! Bring your own water. When we were seated, we asked for glasses of water. Our server said, Sparkling or Flat. We asked for flat. Our server brought over an already opened bottle of flat water. Most of the nicer Italian restaurants use these to make it look fancier, but otherwise dont charge you for it. THIS PLACE CHARGES YOU FOR WATER AND DOES NOT TELL YOU. When we received the bill, it came out to $8 PER BOTTLE. There was no price for water in the drink menu, or in the food menu. EVERY. SINGLE. TABLE. In this restaurant had an opened bottle of water. They probably made hundreds of dollars off of people charging them for water without even asking or informing the person of the price. Further, when we went to pay the bill, the waiter literally stood there as we looked over the bill. When one of us started taking a bit too long for his liking, he said, I cant press enter until you OK the bill. Like who does this? He KNEW that if he gave us too much time to read the bill, we would have noticed this and questioned it. This is A BORDERLINE SCAM. DO NOT EAT HERE UNLESS YOU BRING YOUR OWN WATER. UPDATE: We spoke with Maurizio. He stated that he will work with his staff to ensure going forward they say, Sparkling, Natural, or Tap to ensure that the below issue does not occur again. Further, apparently they are getting new menus soon so that the cost of the water will be listed/disclosed properly. It was a positive conversation, but the below still applies as it still happened. !!!UPDATE #2:!!! Moments ago, we received a call from Johnny DEMANDING to take the review down, otherwise what constituted a verbal agreement between two parties would no longer be provided. As a result, ANNA MARIA TRATTORIAS OWNERS APPEAR TO DOUBLE DOWN ON THE SCAMMING. Shady restaurant ran by shady people. DO NOT EAT HERE.

The fettuccine mare mondo was recommended by the server. She said it was a best seller and omg. It was absolutely amazing. 10/10 a must try if you love seafood! No wait around 6:30pm on a Wednesday evening.

The restaurant has a cozy and elegant atmosphere with friendly staff. The menu offers a wide range of Italian classics such as pasta, pizza, risotto, and seafood. I was very impressed by the quality of the food! Great spot for any occasion.

This restaurant is one of the magic places you can find in a city. I was doing some late shopping with my family and we decided to have dinner. It was late and all restaurants nearby were closing, so we went to this restorant. First impression wasnt good because its located in a very dark area, mostly closed offices at night. But we decided to give it a try.... And believe me it was the best decision. We were a party of five and Gina, our waitress was very attentive and nice recommending us some options, and the food OMG, a very recommended (for big groups) antipasto , the best fetuccini pescadore I have ever tried, also the rissoto fungi and the penne a la vodka (sorry for my bad italian), everything excellent, including the italian wine we got. We are definitely going back!!!. Wheelchair accessibility: Restaurant is located at street level, so it should easily allow wheelchair access.

Walking in I was blown away by the interior of the restaurant, it immediately takes you away to small town Italy, I had to look outside to remind myself I was in Vaughan. Its a very intimate atmosphere and a great date spot, or any occasion for that matter. Music was great, service was very good, the servers were always within an earshot if we needed something. The food was excellent, everything we ordered was hot and fresh, and the salads were cool and fresh. I would definitely go again and definitely recommend!

Quality has gone down.

Great ambiance, amazing food and very personable staff! A win win in every respect! A must try! you will come back for sure!! Food : 5/5

Excellent food, a must go. And Gina is the best. She was lovely and a pleasure.

Tonight I came here for dinner with 3 other ladies. Everything we ordered was very fresh and delicious. I personally ordered the Fettuccine Mare Mondo which was highly recommended by our server Gina. Thank God I listened to her. The pasta dish was delicious!!! Gina made our experience amazing; very professional and attentive We will definitely come back

My first time visiting this authentic Italian restaurant. Starting with the warm welcome and friendly services which are crucial to have me back plus recommending to others. Calamari Fritti was a great choice as a starter. Fusilli Alla Nonna Filomina and Fettuccine Mare Mondo were our pasta of the night. Delicious! Concluded with tiramisu, latte and cappuccino. It was the right choice to book a table and enjoy a comfy, relaxing dinner. It was amazingly good. There are many different dishes to try next time.

Always a great experience. Food is home cooked, and it doesn t disappoint. Huge portions, always have food to take home. Atmosphere is great, and service is always great. Love coming here

Second time here, very disappointed, wrong food brought out, long wait to fix situation, wont be back!

I went to the restaurant again yesterday with my husband for dinner. My husband had the Alla Calabrese pizza and it was absolutely amazing cooked to perfection! I had the gnocchi with rose sauce and it was beyond delicious! I would highly recommend that you go and eat there. You definitely wont be disappointed!! Cant wait till Friday to go back:) Cheers!

Went for a much needed girls night. The atmosphere was amazing, Very classy and clean. Super amazing waitress Gina who was friendly and inviting. The food was out of this world. The salads were fresh and the gnocchi felt like it was made in Italy by NONNA. Five stars would highly recommend..

Great fresh food, great staff, great everything!! From large family gatherings, business lunch, girls dinner or intimate dinner for two, this place caters to all. We absolutely love it! Kid-friendliness: My kids love the food.

TLDR: Hidden costs, food is OK, dirty dishes. This place is overrated. DONT GO! Anyone who follows my reviews knows I dont normally give such a low review, so please understand that this review, like all my reviews, earned its score. The food was good for the most part. The free bread was a bit stale, but whatever. Its free bread. The reason this got a lower score was because the food wasnt worth the price. Both mine and my girlfriends meals were $5 too expensive. The bruschetta was terrible, though my gf thought it was at least OK. The service... the waitresses were kind enough except for one thing; the water. We asked for plain water, assuming wed get tap or filtered. Instead, she brought a bottle. We thought they just reused bottles, but no. It was an $8 fresh bottle of water. We only found out it was a new bottle when she opened it. No warning, just a whole $8 added right then and there. Like, tell your customers that the water is extra as normally water is free. Finally, the atmosphere was good enough, I guess, but when we sat down, our table had 2 dirty dishes (a plate and a fork). For how expensive this place is, I shouldnt have 2 different dirty dishes at the table. I understand mistakes happening, but twice at one table? No Way.

Really good food, its definitely like homemade. They alter dishes and make it vegetarian as well. Really nice ladies who served us our meals:) definitely try to visit them again. Vegetarian options: Not much vegetarian options but they alter and make it happen:)

4,5 stars. Solid Italian restaurant without the high prices of more famous downtown counterparts.

Had a wonderful experience here. Got to eat food cooked with so much heart. Had the antipasto platter. Calamari. Bruschetta. Tomato, mozzarella with balsamic glaze, pizza, veal, spaghetti and meatballs, gnocci, penne, risotto, and orechiette. Needless to say we got a really good spread and got to taste everything. 10/10 recommend

Had the Linguini alla diavola, and it was delicious! The calamari was fresh and not chewy; the bruschetta was seasoned well and the house red was very nice. Service was great! Highly recommend, and look forward to returning!

Great food and service

Food and service were fantastic. A great place to come for relaxed italian home cooking in a traditional atmosphere.

Quaint atmosphere. The food is really good: a good variety of authentic Italian fare. The pizza is delicious and the crust, crisp and light. Theres an easygoing atmosphere; the service is very friendly and they dont rush their guests. Well be back

A neighborhood staple that consistently serves authentic Italian dishes with amazing flavour and huge portions. The gnocchi with meat sauce is definitely the star in their pasta menu but the penne a la vodka is a close second. Calamari is tender and the marinara sauce is homemade. Do yourself a favour and end the meal with their in-house tiramisu! It s the perfect end to your meal. The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming with fantastic service from John and Victoria.

Wow! What a hidden gem. The food is great and the staff is very friendly. The calamari fitti were tender and tasty. The chili oil and the gnocchi are homemade and so good. Best I ever tasted. What was surprising is that this is the only restaurant that Ive been to that still serves complimentary bread on the table. Every other restaurant has removed this tradition. The tiramisu is homemade also and so tasty. Love this place definately will return.

Top notch food and service with a great atmosphere. They care about good customer service and making sure you have the best experience. This is our second time here and we will keep coming back.

To forget, a glass of drinkable wine and the chicken cutlet looked like the frozen industrial ones.

Food was delicious will be eating there again owner and server was also nice

I just wanted to take a minute to thank Johnny and his team for such a wonderful meal this evening! We were a group of 10 but the server did an amazing job of ensuring we all had what we needed and when we needed it, and the restaurant was packed! Their attention to detail and the service was second to none. Now, a special shout out to our server, whose name I did not get - and that is absolutely my bad - when I asked about gluten free options - she thanked me so she could let the Chef know as she cooks the pasta in a separate pot - so for those with celiac - I do think that this is more than a safe place for you to eat and they have grilled calamari that is a must have! Word around the table is their Margherita Pizza, and their meatballs are a must try - and that you can t leave without trying the Tiramisu! We are already planning our next dinner and who we can introduce to this wonderful gem! If you are going on the weekend - be sure to make a reservation as unfortunately some could not be accommodated! Dietary restrictions: Gluten free pasta - and cooked separately!

Food is sub par. There are plenty other Italian restaurants in the same area that taste way better. The service in particular is not good. I tend to like a lot of places but this definitely is not one of them. And no this is not a fake review. This is very genuine where my wife and I had such a bad experience. You as a restaurant need to grow up and understand both food and service need to get back to how it used it be. You used to be good, now you are not.

** EDIT- this is 100% a legit review!! I was there Friday Nov 17 @ 7pm. It s ridiculous that the owner is so quick to jump to the conclusion that this was a fake review; maybe speak to your staff and improve your service instead of attacking reviewers and calling them liars!! Also I changed it from 2 stars to 1 star for the owner s lack of professionalism. I ve been to this restaurant many times but this last experience left me quite disappointed. Upon arriving, my husband was standing carrying my daughter waiting for the host/server, a few mins later a couple entered after him, the server looked passed my husband and greeted them. Then when he told them I had called in for a reservation they kept insisting that was not the case but still proceeded to seat him only because it wasn t busy. When I showed them my phone history which clearly said Anna Maria Trattoria, they said, oh right, but you never mentioned the name of the booking, which is odd cause they didn t even ask, they automatically said, no she didn t call here. On top of that when the waitress brought the pizza she dropped it on the table and didn t even apologize, and said you pick it up cause I can t touch it. Honestly, it was overall a disappointing experience. If the food was better I d say I d return, but the food has gone down in quality over the years.

My man and I have been wanting to try this place for a while, we finally went on Saturday night. We had Bruschetta , Caprese Salad, Minestrone Soup, Gnocchi Bolognese, and the Cosentina Pizza. It was delicious very impressed. Staff and management were very nice to us, we will be coming back again. Cheers!

Great place for some homestyle cooking in an elegant atmosphere.

Food and service was great. Would recommend!

Great food and service. So delicious. The pizza and gnocchi are the best. A must try

Had dinner with cousins and found the ambiance fantastic. Food was really good. Had the pasta chittare with meatballs. Sauce was fantastic with the best restaurant meatballs ever. Definitely recommend this place.

Excellent Italian restaurant Came here for for a lunch meeting. We were quickly seated and greeted. Food was excellent from the pasta to the risotto. Salads were fresh and tasty. Definitely worth a stop if you are craving a classic Italian meal.

I read such great reviews on this place and they were...CORRECT!!! This was hands down one of the BEST MEALS Ive ever had in my life. I loved the intimate and lovely dining space. The service was impeccable. We were taken care of the entire time and made to feel so welcome. Victoria was our server and she was so warm, kind, and inviting. Some of the best service Ive ever experienced. The food was incredible. I highly recommend the meat lovers pizza and the fusilli alla diavola. I couldnt stop thinking about the food the next day. If you want some of the best Italian food ever, great service, and atmosphere then this place is for you!!!

Had the pleasure of dining at this establishment for a company event. I have to say I will definitely return. Highly recommend too. Food was excellent, service top-notch and atmosphere casually comfortable. The best description I can come up with is experiencing fine dining, at your Nonas dining room table. Appies were tasty with flavours well complimented. Timing to main courses was seamless, and considering the size of the group, very well executed. I had the veal chop, medium rare. Portions for all mains were generous and this was no exception. Cooked to perfection (I am regularly disappointed with how many chefs overcook medium rare). Perhaps not in a mainstream location, but certainty a gem IMO. Try it, you wont be disappointed.

Made a reservation at Anna Maria , when I called them to confirm the reservation I was told that they have no tables and my appointment was not possible. Then I asked why they would have an option to book online if it doesn t work, which they said that they don t have time to fix it. Woman on the phone was very rude, not understanding, not useful, and overall appalling customer service. Used to come here quite often, but after that experience might reconsider!

Had a group of coworkers together for a meal. 12 of us all loved our meals and service was top notch. Johnny was a great host and made sure we had everything we needed. We will be going back!

Food was excellent. Caprese salad was fresh and tasty, the chicken Parm was cooked perfectly and the pizza was fantastic. Great atmosphere and outstanding and friendly service Food

Amazing authentic Italian food. Love the atmosphere and ambience. Good portions for the price. Will definitely go for dinner again and will recommend! We have been there a few times for dinner, baby shower and bridal showers and every time has been consistently good!

I went to this place as a recommendation from my friend and the service was terrible. We ordered the parmasean chicken and rose pasta and it was not good at all. The chicken was soggy and it had too much tomato sauce, and the whole plate was filled with oil. The pasta was very plain, it was lacking the basic seasoning of salt and black pepper. The server made a mistake with our order on top of them taking very long to give us our food and there were only two other tables there. I m not impressed and I ll never be coming back here again. I don t know how people are giving them 5 stars, clearly it s friends and/or family. The images don t even look like the food that they serve.

We came here for lunch and were promptly seated. The restaurant filled up quickly. The gnocchi and Caesar salad were delicious and we enjoyed the ambiance. The best part of our lunch was interacting with our lovely server, Gina! Gina is a ray of sunshine!! We highly recommend dining here. Vegetarian options: Vegetarian wrap, pizza and pasta options

Great place!!!!

Don t let the location or the building dissuade you from trying this place . It s awesome

Love the pasta. also super nice staff, once I ordered risotto and was unfamiliar with italian dishes so I was expecting a pasta dish. I told them and they gave me 2 dishes for the price of 1: the already made risotto as well as the same dish but in pasta. It was my fault but they were very nice about it! I continue to go back because their pasta is so good.
