The calamari was filled with lots of sauces, perhaps it is covering the smelly taste of seafoods. It is definitely not fresh. In addition, there is lots of thick cream & butter in Masala chicken. It feels like heart attack. We been to Greece & this is definitely NOT authentic. I would NOT recommend anyone to this restaurant!

We've had lunch at Cuckoo's once before so we knew pretty much what we were getting ourselves into…read more It's decorated in quite a traditional manner, and currently set up for Christmas. The floors look to be original hardwood, and there are lots of beams and logs to see. I personally love the old style look, but it might not be to everyone taste. The service is quite good, our server especially, although it did seem like one individual was more interested in polishing glasses and not running food or bussing tables. He was a little passive aggressive with another staff member when he did run a couple of plates, came back and said "see that wasn't that hard." Not a good look. The food was quite good, although we felt, this time like the last, it was a little on the expensive side. It is quite a tourist mecca just outside of Parksville so that's likely part of the reason. It's also quite busy so clearly people are willing to pony up. We had the soup of the days Chantrelle mushroom soup. Evidently those mushroom are very plentiful in the area this time of year. It was quite good, creamy for sure, but we would have liked some more noticeable bits of mushroom. We also shared a Caprese salad which needed more balsamic and a little salt. The capers were a nice add. We finished with Margherita pizza which was nicely cooked and finished with fresh basil. Can't believe I am saying this, but there was too much cheese on it and maybe a little shy on the tomato sauce. Peroni beer on tap is a total winner for me. Have been twice, might go again, but likely not.

I ordered from here a few nights ago and it was possibly the worst pizza I've ever eaten. The Crust…read moreWas thin on one side and thick on the other. All the toppings were piled up in the middle there was nothing near the edges. First and last time I'll ever order from there. So I forgot I had tried this place and ordered two small thin crust. The meat was so over cooked it was like eating gravel. Never again. This was first week of May 24.

They do half baked pizzas to go as well so you can finish up when you get home. We got 2 large pizzas. Can't remember the cost but total came to over $50. Their "regular" pizzas are pricey for what they are. Pepperoni and cheese are priced the same or v similar to something more exotic w truffle oil. There are a few tables inside, pretty no frills and 2 tables outside. I'd go back again for some quality pizza when you are in or around Parksville.

4.5 rounded up Full…read moredisclosure, I had very low expectations. I was filling up with gas when this place caught my eye. The first thing I thought was "gas station pizza". Similar to gas station sushi. Something anyone with a brain interacting with taste buds wouldn't do. I also didn't have internet. The connection was spotty so I couldn't check the reviews. Throwing caution into the wind, I went for it. What a surprise! The pizza was incredible. Apparently their pizzas sometime sell out according to some local reviews. I can certainly see why! So good, I got one to go. A hole in the wall location in the middle of nowhere along the Island Highway, Small spot seating maybe 10 inside along with a picnic table outside for some additional seating. Friendly service. More take away than dine in. This may be one of the best pizzas I've had. See my pics. They don't skimp on the toppings. Bonus: they have a liquor license. Recommended

Great pizza choice in Parksville. Walking in I was greeted…read moreimmediately by the staff with great attitude and enthusiasm. I realized right away they have a lot of choices and interesting toppings. You can get a whole pizza or order by the slice. I couldn't choose a single pizza so I ordered two different slices. They gave a couple tables outside to enjoy the elements but also a table and counter seating area inside if you want to be inside. You can watch them making pizza; from stretching the dough, saucing, topping to cooking. So much fun to watch. Taste is AWESOME!! I truly loved the pizza. The toppings, perfect amount of sauce and great crust. The crust is the secret to me. Great tasting, nice crunch and just a slight sweet taste. I suggest trying this place out if looking for a pizza night.

This place is awesome! It's small and BUSY! There's good reason for the latter. The pizzas are…read moreunique with fresh, high-quality ingredients and house-made dough. They sell both by the slice and whole pie. From what I observed, you can create your own whole pizza in person by selecting various slices available, which is a great option because they all look delicious. We ordered a whole Italian Bomb and were not disappointed. It was one of the best pizzas we've ever eaten, and the price was very reasonable. If you're in the area, check this place out. As I mentioned, it's very busy, so your best option for getting a whole pizza before they run out of dough for the day is to order a few hours early and schedule a time for pickup.

The lovely K picked the place for our lunch today. Not often she misses the mark, but she almost…read morehad a swing and a miss here. It's bare bones in the decor department, with the wooden floors showing a fair amount of wear and tear. The kitchen service was quite slow, with our three meals taking quite some time considering the place was almost empty. The fryer is someone friend, but the items we ordered were over cooked. The menu has plenty of chicken items on it, but we were informed upon sitting that they had no chicken, other than wings. K ordered the wings, and when they landed she asked for some dip, which never materialized, though our server did come by and mention it after we had finished eating. She mentioned she asked the kitchen for it, but then Buddy in the kitchen sneezed and had to wash his hands, at least he did that. In the time he washed his hands the dip was a forgotten memory. My veggie sandwich was ok, but the cream cheese was very evident overpowering the rest. The sliders were ok according to our guest, but identifying the fried additions took a while to identify. The washrooms were very clean, which was a positive. I can't imagine being there when it's busy, you'd wait an eternity for your food I fear. Not a redo for us, sorry.

The supper menu does change at a certain point to a reduced night menu but still good amount of food choices. We decided to build our own charcuterie platter and was the perfect amount for the 3 of us. We all tried non-alcoholic drinks and were also very happy with our choices. Even though my friends & I didn't have any alcoholic beverages, we all commented on the vast options. Parking is plentiful in front & back of the hotel & you can access from either side to reach the cafe. The bathroom is on until hotel side and probably one of the nicest public bathrooms. The cafe is well laid out with varying sizes of tables. We quite enjoyed our Christmas visit & all agreed we'll be back again. Hopefully earlier in the day or for the full supper menu. As skimming online, the menu listed a lot of great options.

What the lounge may lack in outward beauty, that is fully made up for (and then some) with its main course. Done in what I call "Greek Style", the pizza is baked in a pan and has a cupped edge crust that the ingredients come out to meet, with the bulk of the cheese spread on top. Additionally, Giovanni's has developed a wonderful sauce, which is not too sweet. Fresh ingredients and lots of them as well. When brought to your table by Tracey or one of the other wonderful staff, it is a thing of golden beauty. I never order anything less than a large (see photo) because I always want to take some home. Truly one of the top pies on the island. Enjoy!
