Stopped in at Fig Kitchen on a whim and ended up staying way longer than planned. This place is…read morereally good. Had the fig salad, which everyone seems to rave about, and yeah, it deserves the hype. Fresh, dressed properly, actually filling. The shoestring fries are a problem in the best way. I also got one of the bowls based on what the staff recommended and it was excellent, the kind of food that makes you slow down between bites. What I liked most is that you can tell someone in the kitchen actually cares. Local ingredients, seasonal stuff, and the vegan and gluten friendly options are not slapped on as an afterthought. Everything on the menu feels like it was thought about. Staff were lovely, room is bright and easy to sit in for a while, and the prices are fair. Walked out feeling good, which is rare these days. Honestly, if you live in town and have not been yet, go. Small independent spots like this are the ones worth showing up for.

I came to this place on a weekend around the early afternoon with a few friends. When we arrived,…read morethere were only a couple of patrons and we were able to get a seat out on the patio. I got he Buffalo cauliflower pizza, which was really good. The crust was very different from other crusts I've had; it was very fluffy and thick, and it was quite enjoyable. It's a lot for one person, so I did share half with another friend. One thing I want to note is that we waited a long time for the food to come out. When it eventually did, the server let us know the pizza was burned so they prepared another one for us. It would have been nice if they gave us a heads-up earlier, but I assume this kind of thing is a rare occurrence. The server was very friendly and did her best to make sure we were satisfied, and overall I was.

It did take them 40 minutes to take our orders. There was only 1 server and the owners working so it was understandable. I had great company and a delicious Aperol spritz to keep us company. The food was delicious. We got the arugula salad, grilled calamari, and seafood linguine. I got a tiramisu for my birthday dessert and it was delicious. The owner and server sang Happy Birthday and sent very sweet birthday wishes. I'll be back to try other dishes. Thank you for your warm hospitality and great food.

Wife and I went on a Saturday early evening. Bread and oil was very good, calamari also very good…read more Both had pasta which was OK, not great. Ravioli was too watery, flavour so so. Biggest issue was the service. Waited close to 10 minutes after being seated before anyone came. Every course was slow to be served and waiting for the bill took excessive time. Been there before and all was great, this time not so much due to terrible service. May or may not go back.

The place is amazing, it's cozy... you can't rush someone when it isn't their fault..

A Wonderful Surprise at A Tavola in Whitby!…read more I hadn't been back to A Tavola in almost 10 years--ever since becoming vegan--because I assumed there wouldn't be much on the menu for me. Last night, my friends and I decided to go anyway, knowing the quality was always great... and I'm so glad we did! To my surprise and delight, Chef Vito let us know that all of their pastas are vegan and he could easily modify the sauces to suit my diet. The food was absolutely delicious--it tasted just like the meals I had in Italy. The quality, attention to detail, and service were even better than I remembered. I started with the fennel and orange salad, followed by a beautifully adapted pasta dish, and every bite was perfection. We left so happy that we chose to support a locally owned restaurant instead of a corporate chain. It's such a joy to celebrate the small businesses in our community that truly care about their craft. We'll definitely be back!

Our server I'm sorry I forget her name, she was excellent and friendly. The restaurant is great for couples, families and groups. The restaurant is divided into a more quiet dining area and then maybe for more casual or larger groups there's an area by the bar. Location is great, right by the water and you can take a nice stroll in downtown Port Perry to help digest a delicious meal ;)

We ordered Arancini balls & Bruschetta for an app and we're dissapointed. the Arancini balls came 4, but were so small (the size of 2 toonies put together) and the bruschetta was on extremely small pieces of bread. Pasta portions were small and not much to it. noodles were good and tasted fresh, not boxed.

I have to say if I've been in Markham my whole life and I'm surprised I never tried this place…read more I would have to say this place is one of the best Italian places I ever tried in my life. I have to say they're are a little cheap as it was my birthday I thought they would give the dessert for free but they charged for the dessert it's all good, let's start of with the calamari, really crispy and tender in the inside expensive like crazy, for entree we ordered rigatoni vodka, papperdalle funghi, and chicken Parmesan, the rigatoni vodka was out of this world, very creamy pasta was cooked al dente and they make fresh pasta here, that's a first, the vodka sauce tasted delicious had a rich tomatoe flavor but super creamy, the papperdalle funghi tasted amazing as well and the chicken Parmesan tasted amazing a billion times better than Sugo. The service was excellent, the waiter was attentive, and the ambiance just seemed a bit claustrophobic as there wasn't much space in the restaurant, if you want to eat here for dinner it is highly recommended to reserve online. Just if it's your birthday don't expect anything for free I forgot to Mention the chocolate cream pie probably one of the best desserts I have ever tasted the filling was so creamy and had the right amount of sweetness and the crust was perfect.

Although everything I have ate has been brilliant, some of my favourites include the to die for Gnocchi Quattro Formaggio which is the best 4 cheese sauce with truffle oil. It's small, but very rich. The Gamberetti is lovely! It's tiger shrimp, garlic butter, and a sambuca sauté. You definitely can't go wrong with the spaghetti polpette! Don't be distracted my the fancy name, it's basically simple meatball and marina, but so wonderful! I promise no matter what you choose you will be completely satisfied! The ambiance is perfect. It's comfortable and has warmth with a perfect elegance. Whether you want to go out for a date or even grab a bite alone. I absolutely love to come during lunch and enjoy their lunch menu while enjoying an espresso and the excellent service!

My only suggestion for improvement is to get rid of the televisions. Trust the hard work that went into the decor which invites conversation and interaction. All throughout our fantastic dinner we commented that our attention was constantly being pulled visually to the televisions. Maybe a compromise is to keep the TVs for game nights but turn them off during dinner service. I trust you'll make the best decisions for what customers want.

Great food...great service and most items are made in house! Always a plus. I'll be back forever.read more

I think one of the best Italian restaurants I've been too so far…read more I had the calamari and bruschetta, the calamari was good well seasoned the bruschetta was my favourite, the tomatoes and the feta cheese worked perfectly together. I had the special very expensive 50 bucks wild mushroom ravioli, with rack of lamb, portion size is massive, the lamb was cooked perfectly and the mushroom ravioli was one of the best pasta I ever had. This once every ten years because it is very expensive. The dessert was really good a gelato really tasty and not too sweet. The service was excellent the server was really attentive and brought more bread, and the ambiance is really nice I can't believe I never heard of this for all the years I lived here
