Fantasia Pizza, Novello Pizza
Jenny P.

The fantasia pizza is always a great choice, such a perfect combination for pizza! The novella was one we just wanted to try out as it had chicken, wasn't a bad choice but will definitely try out their other options next time! Such a nice welcoming little pizza shop, servers are so nice and friendly! Sandwiches and gelato are also available here!

Meat Ravioli-not recommended
Heidi T.

Located in same plaza as LA Rocca and Starbucks so lot of parking available. Once you walk in you're greeted with screens and looked like fast food but they tell you to grab a seat anywhere. They passed menus and then disappeared for 15 mins. Didn't ask about offering water or any specials. Anyways we ordered the following: Calamari Fritti: 1/5 very bland and very rubbery. Most bites were really tough to chew Margherita Rice Balls: 2/5: mushy rice and some reason the crust had hard bits. Think it wasn't fried evenly Carbonara:2/5 not very egg/creamy at all. Very garlicky and oily Ravioli: 1/5 tasted like the ones you can get for cheap at No Frills. Some how the sides were hard but everything else was soft. Not worth $23 Spaghetti with Meatballs: 2/5 pasta too al dente and just 2 meatballs for big portion of pasta. Tomato sauce was really watery Overall big portion but not worth the price. Also servers were more friendly to other tables. Could be similar to what another yelper said about race? Recommend going elsewhere so you won't suffer from a stomachache as well.

Gnocchi Bolognese (potato dumplings served w/ homemade veal & pork ragu)
Jason M.

Had this place in my bookmarks for the longest time but finally got a chance to try it out w/ my gf on a thursday after Hoolala ran out of power unexpectedly and the kitchen was out of commission. Nonna's is in the same plaza so we walked over 2 units. I was worried because I've only ever heard that this place is packed on weekends so I got excited when we looked through the windows and the place did not appear too busy. They have a fridge where you can purchase home kits to make pasta. You order and pay at the counter up front before you find a seat and wait for your food. For this first visit we tried pasta. I ordered fettucine della nonna and my gf ordered the gnocchi bolognese. The food arrived in timely manner (around 10 min from ordering?) Unanimously, we both agreed that the fetuccine tasted better. The gnocchi - while it had a nice, simple sauce - was a lil TOO undercooked (almost hard in fact). There was also not enough meat running through the ragu. My fetuccine had tons of chicken, the pasta was cooked perfectly (al dente) and the seasoning in the sauce was *chef's kiss* Just by looking at other reviews, it seems as though the pizza is getting rave reviews consistently so I'll definitely be returning in the future to try some pizza!

Penne a la vodka was tasty
Mike I.

The 6 of us had an early dinner last Saturday night. Service was ok. Food portion compared to pricing was ok. Food came to us hot and timely. When we ordered our soft drinks they did not have much ice so we each had 1-1/2 ice cubes...barely enough to keep a drink cold. Would not go back as there are better Italian restaurants in the area to go to.

Coconut Gelato
Jonathan W.

Great food, great service, and good ambiance. The calamari was still as delicious as the last visit, the Caesar salad was good, the lasagna was good, but, the sauce was sour, the fettuccine was amazing, the meat pizza was huge, and the coconut gelato was refreshing.

Chicken and eggplant parmigiana italian sandwich
Maggie Y.

As soon as you walk in you are greeted with huge plasma screen of listing their menu and tablet for ordering however after paying we realize the price listed on the screen was wrong. Upon inquiring, they said sorry it's wrong there's posted a sign which was hidden behind another sign stating something along the lines of price increase due to inflation. But the menu are on a screen why wouldn't you just change the price? It's quite misleading! We got Italian sandwiches, a veal parmigiana sandwich for $12 and a chicken and eggplant parmigiana $15 ($14 listed price). The sandwiches were put together in what I assume was pizza dough. They are a little skimpy on sauce and toppings! Charging $2 for any extra cheese/peppers/mushrooms. Talk about money grab! My bf's veal he requested mozzarella for an extra $2, def not worth the $2 for added topping. $2.25 for a can of coke. We only came in here coz Amy's fish and chips were closed and was in need of a quick bite! On top of that you order at the counter and they bring food to your table for a tip option of minimum 15% on the machine. Won't be coming back anytime soon.

Pasta Carbonara
Gilbert C.

There is a scent of garlic bread when we step in this restaurant. We know by that time we choose the right place for enjoying our lunch. The pizza had a soft and thin crust, with lots of toppings. The pasta is also nice, in rich cream yet not oily. You can pick your choice of pasta. The waitress is friendly and patiently wait for us to order.

Amazing foods and traditions taste. Very nice people. Quiet and clean place. High recommended.

Pasta alla vodka (penne)
Matthew H.

A nice uptown spot for Italian! Came by on a Thursday night around 6:45 pm, with the restaurant about half full. I've been here a few times previously for lunch, but with dinner it resembles more of a sit down place compared to lunch (where you usually order at the front then get seated/take out as necessary). Our group ordered the pasta alla vodka (x2 penne) and pasta carbonara (linguine). My friend wanted to get lasagna but note that it is only served Friday & Saturday (ended up with the pasta alla vodka). For the pasta alla vodka, the penne was cooked well, the sauce was rich and included bits of bacon. The focaccia bread served along with the dishes topped off the portion - everyone was stuffed afterward. My friend found the carbonara good as well and more importantly, not too cheesy and oily. The food took a tad longer than expected, but otherwise it was a good meal. Seating is comfortable and is ideal for a nice chat. Would recommend reservations for larger groups (6+). Most dishes are around the $15-20 range which is fairly reasonable. Parking is not a problem as it is in a big plaza with a variety of food spots.

Pizza is delicious. Cold Italian draft. Excellent service. What more can you ask for?

Frittura mista aka seafood medley
Cherrie T.

I love Nonna's Oven :) It is definitely one of my favourite go to spots for fast, delicious and authentic Italian food. It is located in a small plaza SW of Leslie/Elgin Mills, in the same plaza as La Rocca Creative Kitchen, Starbucks, and Akimi Japanese Cuisine. The restaurant is very cozy; you will usually see many of families dining together. The 2 separate entrances often confuse a lot of people. The left door is for take-out, and the right door is for dine-in. (Please read the signs!) They separate the two mainly because of crazy lunch/dinner hours. Wait staff service is available where you can order at your table. During other odd hours, dining in or not, just stick to the left door. You purchase for your meal and beverages at the cashier, grab yourself a seat anywhere, and wait staff will bring the food to you if you are dining in. One of my all time favourite (customized) item to order is the Gnocchi in Alfredo Pesto Sauce. You need to add $$ for that pasta, and for the sauce upgrade lol. The panzoretti is also a must order; it is impressively large (like the size of a pillow!). I usually enjoy the classic pepperoni and cheese flavour, or create my own Hawaiian styled ^^ The calamari is also one of my favourite appetizers Nonna's Oven was highly recommended over and over again by my friends before I knew about it. And now I do the same whenever someone needs a recommendation for some Nonna-style Italian food in the area ;)

Margherita italiana pizza
Jenn C.

Wow this place was hard to get a hold of on a Sunday night, the line was always busy!! That's a good sign. I'm been craving traditional pizza and came across this place where I got a margherita Italiana pizza and a genovese pizza. The genovese had chicken, eggplants, goat cheese, sun dried tomatoes on a pesto base. I admit I'm a plain old fashioned margherita fanatic amd bought the other pizza for my hubby :) it was still good but the goat cheese was not my thing for pizza. The pizzas were still hot when I got home and cheese still melty :) I was assigned a pickup time 30 minutes away from my initial order but that was fine since I was driving, very efficient pickup, I will order from again!

The tables were already set up nicely for our group, which made the whole dinner feel warm and homey right from the start. We started with a portioned antipasto plate with prosciutto, cheese, and some grilled veggies. Simple, fresh, and a nice way to ease into the meal. The pasta course came out next, and it was half penne with tomato sauce and half of a half-moon stuffed pasta filled with spinach and ricotta. My boyfriend and I both found the pasta a little bland for our liking... just needed a tiny pinch of salt to bring everything together. Then came the meat course: chicken with mushroom sauce and veggies. It was alright, but I'm not the biggest fan of chicken so I ended up packing mine home. Dessert was probably the most unique part of the night, Neapolitan ice cream wrapped in a cookie-like shell. By the time it came we were so full, so my boyfriend and I shared one. Overall, it was a nice family dinner. The food definitely has that homemade, cooked-with-love feel. The only thing was the pacing... service was quite slow. Even my boyfriend (who's Italian and very used to long meals) said this level of slow wasn't normal. If you're coming with a group, just be prepared for a longer, slower dinner.

There is no fancy decoration, service or presentation, but the vibe is cozy and comfortable and up to the point, we enjoyed the meals and will hope to visit again.

Amazing atmosphere and food to start off the weekend!!…read more We came on a friday night but there weren't a lot of people but also because it was game night. The lady who served us had exceptional knowledge of the menu, so we got couple things to share. Note: they also have daily special, so friday night was cocktail. We asked for everything to come at the same time (asian thing) instead of waiting. The grilled calamari came first and omg... it was sooo delicious!! Next off was the pepperoni flatbread, it was thin and crispy. Then the strip loin with truffle frites.. definitely something to die for!! Of course at the end we had to order their homemade pistachio tiramisu. So creamy and perfect! We would definitely come back especially for the high tea experience!

We made a semi-last-minute reservation the day before Father's Day weekend for a party of seven at 6:00 PM on a Saturday. Surprisingly, it wasn't very busy during our visit, aside from one larger group and a few couples, the dining room remained fairly quiet. The restaurant itself is quite spacious, though only about half of the venue is dedicated to dining. The atmosphere strikes a nice balance between casual and upscale. It's not fine dining, but it's polished enough for a date night or celebration while still being comfortable for casual attire. Service was provided primarily by two servers throughout our meal. They were friendly, attentive, and consistently kept our water glasses topped up without being intrusive. The food was enjoyable, though not the best I've had at this price point. That said, it's a solid option for the area. The grilled calamari appetizer was cooked well, being tender rather than chewy, and nicely seasoned without being overly salty. The kale salad was a pleasant surprise, featuring a fresh, homemade-tasting dressing that complemented the kale perfectly without any bitterness. The garlic bread was absolutely loaded with garlic, which I loved, though it was softer than expected and could have benefited from a bit more toasting. For my main, I ordered the mushroom truffle pasta. The pasta was cooked al dente, and the generous amount of mushrooms was a highlight. Around the table, the spicy chicken rosé pasta was well received, though the spice level was quite mild. I recommend asking for their chili oil for an added kick. The aged striploin was cooked medium as requested, tender throughout, with nicely crisped edges. The accompanying truffle fries and truffle aioli were delicious. The clam linguine had good flavour but could have used a bit more sauce. The branzino was the surprise of the evening, as it arrived as a whole fish, which wasn't what we expected in this type of setting. While flavorful, it required navigating quite a few bones (wouldn't really recommend it for this reason, not the classiest dish to eat). Dessert was a mixed experience. The banana pudding was unfortunately a miss, with an unusual stretchy texture and an overly sweet flavour profile. In contrast, the house-made pistachio tiramisu was outstanding and easily the standout dessert of the meal. It's a must-order. The restaurant was clean and thoughtfully decorated, and the washrooms were well maintained. I especially appreciated the complimentary mouthwash, a small but memorable touch that added to the overall experience. Note: They change their menu from time to time!

Close to both home and work I have driven by here many times…read more The space is smaller than I thought it would be. There are about half a dozen tables and the rest of the space is kitchen. Menu is one page consisting of salad, pizza and pasta. 3 options for dessert. Pizza is Roman style. Prices are on the higher end with pastas priced between 15 and 22 bucks. Portions are generous though. There is no complementary bread with your meal. We arrived for lunch at noon and there was only 1 other table and as a result service was good. Staffing was 2 people. I ordered the pollo affumicato which is a cream white sauce with spinach and smoked chicken on tagliatelle. Couldn't tell if the chicken was smoked but pieces were generous as was the spinach mixed through. Because it was cream sauce it was a heavy dish. All three pasta dishes came with grated Parmesan on the pasta already so if you don't like, best to mention this when ordering. Someone at the table ordered an expresso to end off their meal and it came with a little cookie. Great neighborhood spot for a quick meal or takeout.

The salad was decent; crispy and refreshing. The pastas had good texture as expected for their specialty made in-house. However, the sauces were far too oily and toppings were in short supply, making the dish unbalanced. There was basically a puddle of oil left on the plate when I finished. I was quite disappointed compared to my experience during the peak of COVID. Overall, while the pasta itself was good, I would not return due to how they cook the pasta.

And good thing I did.. What we ordered: 1. Mussels on special 5/5 The sauce was spicy but not too spicy and so flavourful. The mussels were cooked perfectly. And the yummy house made bread was a delicious vehicle to soak up that sauce 2. Romeo et Giulietta cocktail and Cherry Vermilion cocktail. Both delicious and perfectly balanced. 5/5 3. Branzino: 10/5 yes. That crispy skin was soo good. Perfectly seasoned and cooked and the puree and rice and kale accompanied it perfectly. Ok I need to know. How did you do that kale?! How?! I think butter was involved but that's all I got. The best tasting kale I've ever had. 4. Paccheri al Cinghaiale: 4.5/5 My brother ordered this. It was really good just not as good as mine. 5. The salted caramel dessert. 5/5 Make sure you take your spoon all the way to bottom to get all the good stuff. Delish. I'll see you again very soon Locale.
