We were excited thinking about dining out to celebrate New Year's Eve (after 2 long years isolating from the Covid virus) and the coming of 2022. We both savour Italian food and wanted to enjoy an Authentic Italian Pasta, a garlicy Caesar salad and of course a glass or two of Prosecco. La Piazza Allegra is one if our favourite fine dining Italian places, outside of Italy. The prices are very reasonable and the ambiance perfect. Though we are very familiar with and love LaPiazza Allegra, were more than 'over the moon' after our dinner last evening.. After receiving a friendly welcoming greeting at the door, we knew our decision to make reservations here was the right one. With soothing background music, Our meal began with a delicious garlicky Caesar Salad, crusty, homemade herb bread and a glass of Prosecco .. Our waitress, Sarah kindly gave suggestions for our next course giving us just the right amount of time in between to talk sip our Prosecco and enjoy our salad. Next, my partner ordered the legondary Putanessca with a request for sausage to be added; He said the pasta was a perfect al-dente with just the right amount of spicy tomato sauce living up to its spicy historically storied past. I ordered the Seafood Capalletti.. It is no wonder that this is a very popular dish (one is advised when making reservations, to order it ahead of time). The pockets of al-dente pasta are filled with seafood, shrimp is also in the deliciously, delicate creamy sauce- This dish is to 'die for'.. Savour it ? I did! We ended our meal with a two scoop delicious Ruby Red Raspberry sorbet.. A perfect ending to the meal. To say we were Happy with the whole experience from beginning to end is just the 'tip of the proverbial iceberg'.. As we left the restaurant we were greeted and pleased to be able to speak to Chef Mark Farrugia, who also advised us of his other more casual restaurant Sasso, on Hamilton's 'Mountain' We will definitely be back again and will not only order the Capalletti but also the mussels.. This is without a doubt a place that is a must for an Italian dining experience.. Thank you again Chef Mark and your staff for a wonderful evening. read more

My friend bought a pizza from here and we were expecting an Italian style pizza and it wasn't at all. It had lots of garlic on it and I think to cover the taste of old ingredients they used. The salad was not fresh at all. After an hour, we couldn't even eat the rest of it. I'm sorry to write this bad review but they have to think about it before giving the bad food for their customers. read more

Delicious food, excellent service. The owner, Antonio has a great sense of humor and takes pride in his establishment. Six of us dined and we all loved our meal! read more

If you want to wait 3hrs for dinner to be served this is your place. Held a event here recently with over 40 people. Adults had three entree choices children had none. While the adults were served appetizers the children sat hungry waiting for food. We were told children would be served chicken potatoes and vegetables and the plate came out with two pieces of potatoes a piece of chicken and no vegetables the chef than later came out and asked every child who would want vegetables. Waiting Staff was great but the owner was rude.The wait was forever and the food was mediocre. I would not recommend this restaurant for larger events. read more

I've been to La Piazza twice and enjoyed my time both times! The food is amazing! The bread they bring out is so fresh and good. They have Peroni beer which is always a great addition to any menu. The wine selection is good also! I've ordered the seafood linguine both times, the first time I hadn't been diagnosed with celiac disease so I had regular pasta, and then the second with the gluten free pasta and both were delicious! Bonus points because I didn't have a reaction so their kitchen is mindful of those with Celiac! read more

Excellent service, amazing food every time we go. Love the antipasto platter to share! The chef even came out during dinner to ask us how our dinner was, now that is customer service! Romantic atmosphere for a special occasion or just a relaxing night out. Can't go wrong with any menu items, all the pastas are fantastic. Also really neat that you can actually see the chef at work. Great place to go will be back again for sure! read more

I am never one to make reviews, but i really felt the need to after tonight! Left extremely disappointed & hungry!! The "bruschetta" was literally bread with 2 full tomato SLICES and what looked like a melted cheese slice on top, no seasoning or olive oil on top. Extremely bland and honestly pretty gross. Not at all what i was expecting.. As for the main dishes, we had the gnocchi, carbonara & penne. Gnocchi, edible but not great, and the sausage in the penne was terrible & had an awful texture. The carbonara was awful, very dry and the pancetta was chewy. I didn't eat even half of the pasta, and the server didn't ask how things were, just if i wanted to pack it up. On top of the disappointing food, it also took an hour to come out & we were constantly reminding her of things she was forgetting to bring us such as drinks, when there were only 2 other tables in the restaurant at the time. The only good things i can say were that the portions were large and the server was quite nice. Really do not understand how this place has such good reviews!! (which was the whole reason we chose to come). Very disappointed and will not be returning. read more

One of the best Italian restaurants. Great service every time and the food is authentic. Been there over 30 times, never been disappointed. My 6 year old daughter really likes this place too. read more

If I could give this restaurant zero stars I would. I have never been so disappointed with a restaurant's service in my entire life as a whole. Our server, Kelley, was friendly but lacked complete social skills and regard for knowing her guests to a level that I didn't think existed. Being a server myself, I have a very high tolerance for poor service as I understand the issues that can come up. However there is no excuse for appetizers taking over an hour, with food taking over 2. Regardless, I paid my bill entirely with zero compensation despite explaining my great disappointment with our server. I contacted the manager the following day and explained the situation entirely, where I unfortunately was left even more disappointed. Instead of apologizing, he explained that good food takes time and the reason for our poor service was the result of us being late to our reservation by 15 minutes. I explained how I work at the keg and would have never left someone leave as angry and upset as I did the previous night. Again instead of apologizing, he said how he would never be caught dead in the keg. There is more but I'll spare you the time in addition to saving your money and time with this restaurant. Would not return if they paid me. read more

Have always heard great stuff about this place, however, after first visit, likely wouldnt recommend it. there are better places, at more reasonable prices. Food was okay, but way over priced. read more
