Do no eat their horrible pizza and don't go to Sandy's Kitchen either because they own that too. I certainly don't have any grudges against Indian people but they should not be running a Italian restaurant or Chinese restaurant Being handicapped also was also played a role in my fall and the outside of the restaurant was not salted

BONUS points for having a in-house accordion player who sings old Italian classics on select weekends! I've been a couple times already and it's our go-to dine-out dinner spot in Fergus at the moment! We're tried their dinner and appetizer specials - pork always done to perfection and generous portions. On their regular menu, we had their calamari which was a bit generic and lack lustre. Their mushroom and pear pizza was ok as well. I'd honestly stick to their pastas and dinner specials!

One of the most unique bruschetta presentation I've seen - chewy focaccia with whole roasted tomatoes, artichokes and basil - delicious.

Michelle was a lovely server. Highly recommend.

The serving lady was very nice and helpful. I was so disappointed to hear that most of the menu items weren't available, but I was so excited to try homemade pizza and past in an Italian restaurant. We ordered "Sausage & Peppers Pasta", "Bucatini Bison Bolognese pasta", "Classic Canadian Pizza" and "Confit Garlic & Onion Pizza". Pizza dough tasted really good, but my pizza was burned and it was served with no explanations or apologies, which was a put off. Pastas tasted ok but nothing special. To be honest, I expected more of this place based on the marketing and reviews I read on Yelp.

The most delicious Italian cuisine and best carbonara I have ever had!…read more I used to eat at the Ennio's Waterloo location frequently when I was a university student at the Waterloo location, but this was my first time at the Kitchener location, and it was very nostalgic. When I was first introduced to the spaghetti carbonara, I have never had a carbonara in my life and it was the most delicious dish I have ever tasted that when I visited Italy and ordered spaghetti carbonara everywhere I went, I was very disappointed because I thought this dish at Ennio's was the standard. It is very rich and creamy, with a generous amount of bacon and mushrooms. The server added extra parm cheese and cracked peppers (I didn't tell him to stop for a very long time). We also got the veal, which was good, but the marinara spaghetti was mediocre. We also always get the calamari rustica, which is the best fried calamari I have ever tasted. It has a lightly breaded coat with a sweet and spicy sauce that is to die for. The portions are very generous, and although I tried to stuff myself and eat it all, I had 25% of my pasta left over and no room for dessert. I usually always get the tiramisu, which I was glad they still serve but unfortunately did not have any room in my stomach at all that day. The dishes at this Kitchener location are very consistent with what I remember from my visits to the Waterloo location and am very impressed with the portions. The prices have definitely gone up since my last visit years ago, but I still think it's reasonably priced in our current economy and worth every penny! I prefer the ambiance at the Waterloo location because it feels like a family owned pasta house, whereas, the Kitchener location feels more like a chain restaurant. The service was much slower (waited 10 minutes for menus and over 20 minutes for our appetizer and over 30 minutes for our main dishes on a not so busy Friday night at 9pm). However, the quality of the food and service are comparable between the two locations (food tastes similar and friendly staff). The parking at the Kitchener location is also easier than the Waterloo location since it is located in a large plaza. I would definitely go back to this location since this is closer to the 401 highway and more convenient for travellers driving through the city but if I had more time, I would go back to my nostalgic Waterloo location!

I would just like to thank LA Cucina for an absolutely perfect night. There were 25 of us and every person was made to feel like they were the only one.

We were looking for dinner after a Matinee performance, following checking in, and without having…read moremade a reservation. Having spent a weekend earlier in the year in Stratford neither was I keen about some of the prices that the downtown restaurants like to charge. Pazzo Taverna and Pizzeria seemed to be the answer. At 6PM we actually were able to book a 7:30 table. The room was still busy when we arrived and there was a small crowd waiting but we were seated quickly with menus. The bill of fare is pretty much limited to salads, a couple of appetizer choices, a variety of pizzas, and a handful of pasta dishes. Still, a Marco Polo pizza (roast chicken, sun dried tomatoes, feta, & basil) for me and Spaghetti & Meatballs for my spouse suited our dining preferences. My spouse had a glass of a Spanish Red with her meal, I was satisfied with just water. We were impressed that everything on their wine list was available by the glass as well as by the bottle. Also, we got some satisfaction to see Canadian, Italian, and other countries' wines with one particular exception. (As for that, take your annexation threats and stuff it where you're storing all the Bourbon that isn't crossing the border either.) For my wife's spaghetti, the pasta was fresh and the meatballs plentiful. As for my pizza, I found it flavourful with fresh Basil and the crust was thin and crisp. Portion sizes were more and sufficient as we both had something to take away. Service was quick and cheerful. The room cleared out quickly as we expect a lot of tables were headed for an evening curtain. Still, there seem to be a lot of hard surfaces and it can get a bit loud, it did get a lot better once more tables departed. While not cheap we felt we received value for money, especially compared to some of the other nearby establishments. We'll still go there but from time to time it's nice not to have to fork over 3-digits on a dinner for two.
