We arrived by boat on August 17 2019 and walked into town. We booked a reservation for 8pm. We did our best to make it on time....... but we were late. They kept our reservation for us and put us close to the live music. The music was awesome and the atmosphere was great. The food was fantastic as well. We did order a cheese appetizer just to find out that they ran out of the cheese. No big deal we simply ordered the rice ball appetizer. This is the only reason for the 4 star rating.We had a great time and will return on our next visit to Port Dalhousie.

A newly opened place for the summer. We've been there twice already.The food is a custom Sicilian cuisine. The menu is tastefully done and masterfully cooked. The dishes are either homemade or imported from Italy. The notable appetizer was the grilled octopus. The Fennel Salad is wonderful. The pasta is amazingly done.Yet, the crown jewel is the pizza (and I am not a pizza guy at all). the crust is thin and perfect. The ingredients intentionally picked to create an amazing feast of tastes. Then, all cooked in a wood-fired clay oven. Perfecto!We have already had most of the Pizzas. The signature is the Antonella, named after the owners' wife, but by all means, try them all.The place is now open on weekends, but will soon be open 6 days a week. LCBO license coming this week. I'll attach the current menu. I understand it will be evolving. The owner, Rocco, is on premises at all times, making sure your experience is exquisite.

It was an awesome experience! Both the food and the atmosphere. We sat in the patio and there was live music to create the ambiance. The pizza and the appetizers were delicious same with the wine. The owner came to greet us and had several conversations with us and even offered us a drink. Overall it was a great experience with great service. 100% recommend and will definitely be back!

One of everything please and the wine was flowing. Flavours are all there and the prices are within reason. Live entertainment outside the patio was nice. We met the owner and He was gracious enough to great our table...which I feel is a great touch on service. Little bit of kinks that need to be worked in. However for just opening it was a great evening on the patio for my group of friends. We will be back and we definitely look forward to seeing your main courses added to your menu. Thanks Rocco & Congratulations!!

The food is outstanding despite them just recently opening. The owner' DNA is deep in prior GTA eateries and it's evident not just in the food but the decor and staff approach. The menu is narrow but the quality and presentation are 4 star not 3. It's also sensibly priced. House wines are well chosen with a decently deeper cellar for newer operation. The patio is inviting and aromatic with the smells of well crafted southern Italian dishes and stone oven pizza. You won't miss the owner...he finds every table to check in. As it should be. So if you are in Port Dal for boating or just a drive.. this is well worth your effort and your appetite. . Soon to be 4+ I am sure.

We've been here twice and can't wait to go back. The food is true Italian and amazing. Homemade noodles, wood-fire pizza ... it was all so tasty! You can tell a lot of thought and care goes into every dish. We sat on the patio and inside during our second visit, both were great. Love the location. Can't wait to try the rooftop patio. You will not be disappointed! Highly recommended!

To give it a five star is unfair to me.. because it can't go any higher.. but the place is excellent. Quality food, tastes fresh and so nicely cooked.. reminds me of flavors from Liguria. Wine is excellent, and the service is sincere and friendly.. and dog friendly terrace for dinner cant be beat. will recommend this place to everyone and then some

Had an absolutely incredible experience! The atmosphere was really lovely and the staff were absolutely amazing, extremely welcoming and provided great service. The food was definitely the highlight of the evening, there was a wide range to choose from, the dishes were so delicious and flavourful, and really captured the essence of real rustic Italian food! Most definitely will return, I would highly recommend this restaurant for all groups and couples to enjoy the classy yet casual environment and just have a great time with great food!
