I had the Guiseppina Pinsa ($21) which is essentially a pizza made with special flour and tomatoes. My friend had a garden salad and added a chicken breast. My Pinsa had tomato sauce, cheese, roasted bell peppers, artichokes, mushrooms and sun-dried tomatoes. The crust was unique. It was fluffy and airy, yet very crunchy at the bottom. It was my first time having a Pinsa. I would have it again. My friend seemed to enjoy her salad. The vegetables looked fresh. Service was neutral. Not exactly warm and friendly, but efficient and got the job done. The heated patio is quite nice. It's covered, so even if it's raining, you won't get wet. In the warmer months they have additional seats outside uncovered, which are technically on the sidewalk, lol. It's a good place for casual Italian food. Street parking only.

Jazz, our waitress has been here 5 years and is a real asset here. As are the helpers, greeters and bussers. Arrived with resos for a Sat at 6pm. Hadn't had pasta in weeks and I was going thru withdrawal. Haha! Every single thing on this menu speaks to me and after studying it for hours, still couldn't decide. The specials on the wall are worth a glance re options. Jazz helped me choose a dish I'd never had and not something I would order but it was rigatoni with shrimp, pesto basil, light rose sauce, sun-dried tomato and olive. Omg... I'm still craving it. It was amazing and had some to bring home.. PRO move.. although a small amount for $4, they make an in house Alfredo sauce that was worth it.. I brought that home and had it all the next day. The pasta is NOT overcooked here. Very important. Plus family owned. Love that. My friend was happy as I chose a CDN place and she is all about that right now. My friend got the Roberto pizza and was very pleased. Had leftovers and raved about the truffle sauce atop. Some notes,; Salt was not on the table. One has to ask for it. Water comes in a cool carafe but no ice, no lemons and I didn't want to keep asking for things.. salt, yes. Had to. Parm powered cheese and chili flakes optional. Only the flakes will stay on the table! Parm is given by the server and then gone. Seats, wooden chairs... Very hard and uncomfortable. Place gets VERY loud after 7pm and we were seated up top so, noise really travels. Almost too loud. Love the real napkins. (It's the little things.) I took note of the cool bar which had very comfy looking seats and had me thinking re my next visit! Jazz was very busy. We felt a little rushed throughout the meal. Cheque given way before wine was finished but could just be a vision of good service. The meal service was fast once we selected and food comes out quickly. My pasta could have used more sauce... Many other reviewers say the same, too dry, but I would def get the dish again. Sauce on side again. A great visit. Resos recommended.

I particularly liked the saucing on the fusilli genovese. The penne pasquale I wasn't sure what made it more special, but it did the job. The meatballs were fine, though maybe too pricey for just 3 meatballs. The calamari could have used some work; not crispy enough. The chicken limone was delicious, though again maybe a bit overpriced. The chicken parm was excellent, with a good fry on the chicken and nicely pounded meat. The veal pizzaiola was decent, though perhaps I wish I had eaten it on site. All in all an excellent meal!

I took the 2 eggs with 2 meat boring I know lol (sausage and bacon for me). $11-12 is not a bad price you can pick your own meat combo. I loved that it came with a little bowl of fruits.

My egg tasted like they had been cooked in water (I know its probably not the case) (no salt here). I also found my potatoes and bacon could have been more crispy and served warm. Seems like everything was served cold. Reminds me of cora potatoes. Next time I come I will make sure to mention crispy bacon and potatoes.

The Grand Pizzeria seemed like a terrific option, and it didn't hurt that we'd be ordering during their version of Happy Hour. We eventually opted for the Italian Pepperoni ("mozzarella, Italian pepperoni"), and also got the Spring Salad ("mixed greens with balsamic dressing") to share. Both items were very tasty. The pizza arrived hot and fresh, and while it didn't blow me away, it definitely went really well with the pint of beer I had ordered. The house-made hot sauce elevated it considerably, too. The salad was excellent as well. It was full of fresh greens and beautiful little cherry tomatoes, and the balsamic dressing was superb. The service was terrific, and the ambiance was comfortable. And the price can't be beat; we got all that food (plus my beer) for less than 40 bucks. The Grand Pizzeria is a cool spot, for sure.

They first brought out complementary baguette bread (with olive oil+balsamic vinegar), olives & pickled peppers. For starters we had their CALAMARI. it was lightly battered, seasoned well, and perfectly deep-fried. The texture was soft and wasn't rubbery at all! As for the mains, we got the LOBSTER RAVIOLI & VEAL WITH LIGHT LEMON SAUCE. The Lobster Ravioli had a delicious rose sauce that was thickly layered on 6 pieces of rather large ravioli stuffed with just the right amount of ricotta and small chunks of lobster. The Veal was super tender and soft. Although it was pricey for 4 small slices of meat, the quality of each component of the dish was superb. The lemon sauce was indeed light but still creamy and well-balanced. We definitely used the side veggies to soak it all up. Overall, Mamma Teresa offers an enjoyable warm atmosphere with quality Italian food that was well executed !

We had come here on a Monday evening at around 5:30 pm for dinner. We weren't sure what to expect,…read moreas we had never dined here before, and didn't look at the menu before arriving. However, once we stepped into the restaurant, we knew that it would be a tad pricey. We were the only ones in the restaurant at the time when we arrived therefore, we were given a round table near the window. Once we were seated, we each received a menu, and settled on our items. The restaurant itself was quite fancy, with the servers wearing formal attire, and the table setting/wall decor boasting an expensive flair. Once we had settled on our meals, we were given a basket of nicely warmed bread, with olive oil mixed with vinegar, along with peppers and olives on the side. The bread was amazing, and we were able to ask for seconds. The basket was never full, as we continuously ate what was placed inside of it. It was a great start to the meal! Once our main dishes arrived, we were surprised to see how much food was included. The chicken cutlet was quite large, with my son unable to finish it. It was also tasty, as I had tried a few bites. My daughter's meatball however had a strange spice which didn't sit well with her. As well, the dish that my mother and I had settled on had various pieces of burnt pasta, and it wasn't too appetizing. Since the prices were so high for each of the dishes, we were surprised that the taste wasn't adequate. Since we had such a positive experience with the complimentary bread, we expected the same for the main meal. However, we weren't too pleased with most of the items we had ordered. I have to give kudos to the service at this restaurant, as we were always doted on, from start to finish. We even saw the manager (or owner) come out to greet all of the guests individually. Although this restaurant was on the higher-end, the food just didn't suffice, and wasn't worth the price that we had paid.
