Went there with over 30 people for Christmas dinner and like more and more places, and this one was not exemption, service was not the greatest because workers know that tip will be included doesn't matter what on your bill. There was only one worker taking care of our tables plus other ones in the restaurant. It's not her fault, just poor management. Every time that we ordered drinks, it took over 10 minutes to get them. Overprice place for the food quality and service

Hands down the best pizza I’ve ever had in my life. If you’ve never been before, just get the margherita, also ask for a roasted garlic and chili oil on the side. The atmosphere is great, very classy and chic. Other menu options are great too, but thag pizza is just something else.

Amazing food and customer experience. David and his team went above and beyond to ensure our family had a great dinner. The southern Italian style pizza is our fav- best in Woodbridge hands down in our humble opinion. The calamari and burrata salad apps were perfect. We will be back!

Had a fantastic meal @motorinorestaurants the other day! We first started with the guavarita, then the mushroom mafaldine, burrata and a side salmon. Everything was cooked perfectly, but we especially loved the creamy mafaldine; service was also on point. I highly recommend this restaurant if you're in the Vaughan area!

Delicious food, fresh and tasty. Service can be hit and miss but everyone is friendly. Hopefully you get an attentive server, who offers to bring you water once in a while. But at least you're choking on delicious food.

First time here, really like to decor. The Atmosphere was really cold, no music, nothing on the tv's. Afterwards we asked about the silence. They informed us their sound system does not work. We were hearing other peoples conversations and kept more quiet than usual to not disturb others. The service was slow considering it was not busy at all. We ordered our drinks before the appetizers. We received our appy's before our drinks. We kept having to ask for napkins, we had to flag servers down for re-fill of our water. Now the food. Absolutely delicious. Hands down the food is the best part here. It is pricy so be prepared. The food is worth the price however all together its a 4 star! Our family had been here before and told us it use to be better. Not sure what hs changed.

My colleagues and I came here for lunch on a weekday. One of them had been here before and had a great experience. Hence, she made a reservation and spoke highly of this place. We were quickly seated and placed our order within a few minutes after we sat down. Our appetizer, Italian spring rolls, came out shortly after. It was fried to crispness on a bed of spicy cream sauce, which was a nice touch to the flavor. However, here's where it went wrong... our main course - 2 salads and their weekly special pasta - arrived 45 minutes after. Frigging 45 minutes for 2 salads and a pasta. We have asked our waitress to check for us, but she gave us an attitude when we explained to her that another table that had arrived AFTER us had gotten their food, even finished eating at the time, and we were still waiting for our food. However, she didn't seem like she cared, as if that's the least of her problem. Despite the manager bringing out the food and apologizing, we couldn't enjoy our lunch fully as we wasted most of the time just sitting there and waiting for 2 plates of veggie and cold pasta... yes, you heard it, COLD PASTA! I wished I had better things to say about the experience, but it was absolutely disappointing, and the way our waitress treated us, just totally unacceptable.

We recently returned to Motorino for dinner after several months, but unfortunately, it didn t live up to our previous visits. Each of us ordered different dishes, and everyone agreed that the quality wasn t as good as before. The pizza, in particular, was much thinner and drier compared to previous times. The gluten-free options on the menu were quite limited, with my only vegetarian choice being the gluten-free pizza, which I decided to try for the first time. The server mentioned that they had recently changed the recipe, and while the dough itself was surprisingly good, the pizza was unevenly cooked. One half was thicker and undercooked, making it inedible, which was disappointing since the cooked portion was delicious. Not sure if it was just a one-time issue or if they ve recently changed the pizza chef, but this visit was definitely not one of their best.

Very bad experience of CUSTOMER SERVICE since we arrived. We tried to move some tables to be more comfortable and they wouldnt let us but it was always with a no response and attitude. The whole time our server was with an attitude and responding rudely to some of our dinner party. I imagine it was because it they were about to close the kitchen and she wanted to leave. Until she gave my wife attitude because she told her that the pasta was very dry and her response was very rude thats when I told her you should be a server she ask me why and I answer cause there is way to talk to customers and you dont have to be rude to answer. After that she didnt came back to the table at all and thats when I called a manager and explained the situation. I think that if a server does not want to be there for any situation, she should be at home and not serving clients. Honestly the food was not bad but with that customer service im sure not of the party will ever go back. Vaughan Location needs to work on your customer service ITS REALLY POOR !!! At the end of the day I give her a tip just to show her im not like her ... ENJOY !!!!

Mororino is an absolute gem! The ambience is warm and inviting, making it a perfect spot for a cozy meal. The food was simply delightful I tried the Penne Vodka Pasta, Margherita Pizza, and fries, and every bite was bursting with flavor. The pasta was perfectly cooked, the pizza had a wonderfully crisp crust with fresh toppings, and the fries were just the right amount of crispy. The service added to the great experience. Our server was exceptionally friendly and attentive, and the host made us feel very welcome from the moment we walked in. Overall, it was a fantastic dining experience. If you re looking for great food, a friendly atmosphere, and excellent service, Mororino is the place to be. Highly recommended!

Motorino Restaurant deserves nothing less than five stars for its incredible dining experience. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm and inviting. Dave, the manager, went above and beyond, delivering what I can only describe as 11 out of 10 service. His attentiveness and genuine care for our experience made us feel like VIPs. The food was exceptional every dish was crafted to perfection. The pizza, with its perfectly crisp crust and rich, flavorful toppings, was a highlight, but the appetizers and desserts were equally amazing. Every bite was an explosion of taste, and the quality of the ingredients shone through. Overall, Motorino exceeded all expectations, and Dave s hospitality made the evening unforgettable.

First time here at this location. The food tasted great. Unfortunately, my fish was slightly undercooked. Aside from that, the sevice was excellent. Alessia, the waitress is very friendly, bubbly, and made our stay comfortable and pleasant. I will go back, I believe, due to the thickness of the fish, which makes it difficult for a perfect cook without drying the flesh.

I had the Malfadine with truffle cream the sauce was very starchy and tasted floury. Awful dish. Also the appetizer dishes were changed to accommodate your pizza which was overflowing from the slice. Terrible attention to details. Also ordered a third pizza and never arrived and at that point we were finished dinner.

Dinner for a bachelorette. Group of 9 girls. 1.We had ONE dish of bread to share. There werent enough pieces of bread for everyone. We were waiting for more bread... which didnt come. Perhaps, it is normal to have the same quantity whether we are 2 or 9 people. 2. Some dishes were cold. The chicken was charred well grilled on the outside with a burnt taste, but not well cooked on the inside. We had it replaced and the problem was the same. Gnocchi was big and dry and the funghi cream was salty. Spaghetti good (normal). One meatball was still pink. The waiter tells us that this is normal 3. The espresso martinis also had to be changed because they didnt taste the same as a real espresso martini. The server mentioned that they were missing an ingredient. The server was still attentive. Explained the menu well and answered our questions and requests.

The best part of the cuisine was the desserts and cocktails which were original! Otherwise, honestly, we were disappointed with the pizza (current special with roasted potato and burrata which was clearly not one, or slices of melted cheese instead of a small ball of burratta) and the chicken parmesan which was almost pitiful with the lack of accompaniment and the lack of taste of the tomato sauce (3 slices of cheese on chicken parmesan, it shouldnt be called that). I ask for a glass of wine, they bring it to me in a small carafe, so I cant even confirm that its the right wine... We were on vacation in the area, but I wouldnt recommend it. Smiling service, but really disappointed with the food...

First time visiting. Got the pasta special which was that pistachio and clams with a pesto sauce. Mainly an oil base with not much herbs in the pesto. The spaghetti was cooked decently, overall taste was average. Fried calamari was good. Probably the best dish we ordered. The shrimps were a little over cooked but it s hard to cook when it s fried like that. Ordered the classic margarita pizza as this is what I always get to gauge the restaurant. The pizza was thin but dense. The outside edge was actually good but the pie itself felt dense. There was barely any mozzarella and the sauce was very watery. Turns out that the dough is pressed with a machine and not even hand tossed. It s sad because dominos pizza hand tosses their doughs. There is no need for a machine for a restaurant like this. I did not expect this experience in Vaughan as it has great Italian restaurants. If this is what Italian food is then I ll stick with my Americanized Italian food.

Our server May was absolutely amazing. She gets a 5 star review for her honestly and friendly + quick service. The martini was amazing, zero complaints. The food was good. Nothing amazing. I think I went into this with higher food expectations. The food was good, definitely a pass,but I wish they made their own pasta. The flavours didnt really pop for me. Would have been nice to have bread for the table. Build the cost into the me u prices or something, because having a warm good quality bread are tablestakes imo.

TL;DR - Its okay. Stick to pizza, pasta or apps and youll be fine. Decent spot for a good pie and a drink. Do not order any of the mains as they are horrendous in size, price and taste. Cheesecake is phenomenal. We were there for the Mothers Day lunch rush, so that may explain some of the discrepancies here. I want to believe this is a good place for a beer, pizza and an app. The service was great and they took a few items off our bill when we sent them back. We got the pizza spring rolls which were an absolute rip off at $20 for 4 halves which means 2 whole spring rolls. Not worth it. Fried calamari plate was great and cooked perfectly. We got the Barese pizza wood fired style and it was okay. Pizza was literally soggy and the plate was wet as we picked up each slice. Not sure if it was that pizza and its toppings or what. The pizza was decent. Nothing to write home about or make the drive for. I ordered the Moretti lamb shank which came barely warm while my table had steaming hot entrees. The ndjua mash was unique but awkward. I sent it back as the shank was bland and barely lukewarm to the touch. I asked for a burger and that came out hot and fresh. A good burger but again Im not going back here for a burger. My mother got the fettucine and it came out half-cooked, meaning it was still white on the inside when we bit it. It got sent back. Ended with the tiramisu which was a ton of cream and barely any cookie. It was okay. Overall, the service was great and they corrected every dish we thought was poorly made and apologized. I would stick to pizza, apps and pasta here. Some of the apps are very, very, very overpriced for what you get. Veal was $40 for about 100g of veal and the mashed potates were some of the gluiest, gummiest mash I have ever seen in my life.

We consider ourselves regulars of Motorino as we live close by and can count on never having a bad meal. We normally try to make reservations, but even when we call last minute they try to accommodate. Service is friendly, knowledgeable and willing to make recommendations.

Absolutely loved it here. My husband and I are visiting from Florida and we were looking for Italian food (he s a picky eater and only wants Italian lol). Our server was May, she was very pleasant, honest, and helpful. She gave us recommendations and they were AWESOME. We had the Polenta Fries, Lamb Chops, Chicken Parm, Penne Vodka (took out the pancetta since we don t eat it), tiramisu, espresso, and cookie/ice cream. Everything was PERFECT. Husband had no complaints 1000/10 perfect - which is music to my ears since I usually hear at least one complaint. We ll definitely visit again and hope to see May!!

Great food and lovely atmosphere. The service is very nice and accomodating to our gluten-free needs too! So many delicious options and variations such as avocado bread. However, once, I knew a person who went here and got something unexpected in their food. Reply To the Owner: Cheers, manager. I do understand it is not entirely fair but it definitely lured me away for a while. Your food is great and your service is excellent. So, I definitely will come back. But, I do want consistency. Also, your waiters are wonderful people. But, do not think that this is unfair. YOU have to be ready to defend YOUR restaurant when it is challenged.

The service was fantastic and Jasmine was always on top of everything and constantly checking with our party. Food however left something to be desired. The fried calamari and shrimp (fruttaria a pesce?) was tasty but the spaghetti carbonara had no taste (tasted like plain watered spaghetti) and I was also super dissapointed with the tiramiso which was in a bowl and extremely watery that it looked and felt like melted vanilla ice cream with chocolate powder over it. I wanted to like this place because the atmosphere is cozy and the service was amazing but sadly, I dont think I will return based on the food.

Easily one of the top Italian restaurants Ive ever been too, maybe even the top one. Food was out of this world. The manager David suggested a few items and glad he did. The Italian style rolls were to die for. The truffle fries, calamari, salads etc were all made to perfection! The chicken parm and gnocchi was the best Ive ever had. Great ambience. Great staff. David the manager was very engaging and helped us choose items that we overly enjoyed. Would recommend Motorino to absolutely everyone. Their menu has so many choices that you cant go wrong! Price is fair and youre getting top quality! Would definitely eat there again!

I ve been to this restaurant in the past with friends and had great experience. Food and service were both great. My family loves pizza and this place had about the best I d had, so I brought my family back today. Unfortunately, the food was terrible. Arancini tasted good but was cold, pizza came out cold and the cheese had formed into cold blobs - very unappetizing. Even after sending the pizza back, they just reheated it and left it at the table. It was still cold. No follow up. Service was extremely slow. Not impolite but not friendly. Also, seating was uncomfortable. Won t be back. In response to the manager, my review focuses on the food and service, not the compensation. I didn t ask for that, nor was I told about it. If you had stopped by after I spoke to the waitress, I would have liked to give feedback. You came by the table several times, but not once to check about the food. But I m glad you had time to respond to the review.

Motorino is an absolute delight! First off, the design and attention to detail within the restaurant is wonderful. Everything is custom designed and aligned to their black and red colour scheme. I was especially excited when I noticed that their staff all wear red shoes with their all black uniforms to complement the colours. All the staff are kind and attentive, and the manager makes a point of stopping by to say hello, too. Onto the food; it was amazing. The Tuscan fries are thick cut and a perfect balance of crispy and soft. The Penne Vodka is delicious and a generous portion. And the tiramisu was the cherry on top of the meal. The perfect size to share. If you haven t gone, you shouldn t go! And if you have gone, go back!

Motorino is an amazing Italian restaurant in Woodbridge a true gem! I came with my family on Saturday and the food is top-notch, bursting with authentic Italian flavors. The service is impeccable, and the prices are surprisingly reasonable for the quality. The manager, Bav, was amazing took the time to introduce himself and even though the experience was amazing he took his time to genuine strike up a conversation, even knowing that we had an amazing experience to continue to come back to the table to reassure that everything was fine. I can see why its always busy and talked so highly about. Beyond highly recommended to give it a try!

Pros: Beautiful red interior with a 1950s or 60s feel. Classic black and white movies playing on TVs was a nice touch to atmosphere. The waitress was very nice and service was fast. Cons: Parking can get tight. I had the gnocchi which was a bit disappointing as the tomato sauce was a little too acidic. Wouldnt call it bad but Ive had so much better that it paled in comparison. I probably just ordered the wrong thing as my guest was happy with her meal. Parking: Can get busy and some people park badly causing a dominoe effect of bad parking.

We had 4 adults and 3 kids and the restaurant didnt mind our toddlers making some noise and all were able to eat well even with different dietary restrictions. They offered smaller portions for kids to eat, which was helpful! Fun sodas and decent wine and other alcoholic selections. We will be back. Worth the drive from Stouffville.

It is shameful that I even stayed at this restaurant if we were alone without a party of 12 I defiantly would have left: Our orders did not come and or punched and the server Ashley was rude and the manager was useless Waited for 25 minutes to get an answer if they had kids menus and another 25 to be advised that our orders of beer were sold out. Water to the table came after 45 minutes and we were served that ones Half of our table food came wrong the other didn t come. All of the table salads we ordered but didn t come. When the owner or another manager came after many complaints he gave us a discount of zero for the food that never came. This restaurant is the worst I have ever been to. Don t ever come here Oh and they gave us a gift card of $100 from the restaurant to return to that restaurant for the inconvenience . What a waste of a night and a restaurant They don t even deserve one star Reply to the owner: No one was demeaning your staff you were not listening to our complaints and lied about a discount you ve given us which was not true.instead of apologizing as to the many errors and disrespectful behaviour we ve received from your server you are putting the blame on us for getting upset. Honestly you are the worst restaurant I have ever been too and most disrespectful. I wouldn t be surprised if you close down the business due to this attitude and bad service. I am surprised you re still operating .

Horrible service and very unprofessional staff, I could go for pages but don t have more time to waste for this place after ruining our Sunday evening. Ordered beer and the waitress came after 35 minutes to tell me they re out. Asked if they have kids menu and we got an answer after 40 minutes. Ordered salads, they came an hour after with wrong order THREE times, there are lots to say but as I said, this place doesn t worth my time. Just stay away, there are many descent restaurants around that area.
