We ordered Arancini balls & Bruschetta for an app and we're dissapointed. the Arancini balls came 4, but were so small (the size of 2 toonies put together) and the bruschetta was on extremely small pieces of bread. Pasta portions were small and not much to it. noodles were good and tasted fresh, not boxed.

We made a phone reservation for a Friday evening dinner with friends, excited to return to Fazio's…read moreafter more than 12 years. Upon arrival, however, we were met with a very large wedding party gathering in the restaurant. The noise level was overwhelming, and we were seated very close to the event. This was never mentioned at the time of our reservation. Had we been informed, we likely would have chosen a different venue. Unfortunately, the issues continued. Three out of the four entrées we wanted were unavailable, which was disappointing given the limited menu. When our meals did arrive, they were brought out before the salads we had ordered -- simply forgotten. Later, before asking if we wanted more wine, coffee, or dessert (which we did), we were asked how we intended to pay the bill. It left us feeling rushed and unwelcome. The food itself was just okay -- not particularly memorable and not especially traditional or authentic Italian. The crème brûlée was especially poor and something I would strongly advise skipping. Overall, this was a disappointing experience. Legend of Fazio's may get another visit someday, but likely not for another 12 years -- or longer -- once this experience has faded from memory.

First off, the man working, who ended up being the owner, was super friendly! It is him and his wife that own and run the restaurant. They were very grateful for our business. To be honest, I wasn't expecting much as the inside of the restaurant feels more like a diner. They offer breakfast, salads, pasta, panini, and pizzas. We ordered a Caesar salad which was great and decent portion. We also ordered the Penne Rose - highly recommend. They offer large portions, the sauce was rich and the pancetta was delicious. This was comparable to high-end restaurant quality - reminded me of the Penza dish from Grazie except under $15! We also ordered the alfredo pasta and this was very tasty. They have a wood burning pizza oven so of course we had to try it and we were not disappointed. The fungi pizza was delicious and the large was under $15! I would recommend this spot if you are looking for a really good, filling, and inexpensive (relatively) meal! Also, this is one of the small businesses I'd like to continue supporting because the owner is lovely.

A Wonderful Surprise at A Tavola in Whitby!…read more I hadn't been back to A Tavola in almost 10 years--ever since becoming vegan--because I assumed there wouldn't be much on the menu for me. Last night, my friends and I decided to go anyway, knowing the quality was always great... and I'm so glad we did! To my surprise and delight, Chef Vito let us know that all of their pastas are vegan and he could easily modify the sauces to suit my diet. The food was absolutely delicious--it tasted just like the meals I had in Italy. The quality, attention to detail, and service were even better than I remembered. I started with the fennel and orange salad, followed by a beautifully adapted pasta dish, and every bite was perfection. We left so happy that we chose to support a locally owned restaurant instead of a corporate chain. It's such a joy to celebrate the small businesses in our community that truly care about their craft. We'll definitely be back!

Run by a lovely couple Nick and Carmela Fazio, they also offer pastas and sauces to go so you can cook their amazing food at home! I love their pizza - crust is good and they are quite generous with the toppings. Definitely a worthy place to try if you're ever in the neighbourhood. I've also tried some of their pasta sauces and stuffed pasta to go and they are amazing!

I've been here twice and gotta say, the place is always busy and they got nice ambience. Having…read moresaid that, both times I found the service to be slow. You really need patience to eat here. This is not a fast serve restaurant. First we got the Branzino which was pretty good and tender. Then we got a pasta dish which had no flavour and was blend so probably wouldn't order again. We also got the ribeye which was pretty good. For dessert, we had the apple blossom with gelato and toffee and it was delicious. They also had lots of mocktails options which we appreciate. Overall, this is a decent choice for Italian when you're in the Whitby area but pack lots of patience and you'll be fine.

I've e been to Bella Notte several times, including hosting 3 large events. The food is good…read more However the main section of the restaurant has now became less enjoyable because they crammed in more tables forgetting they are catering to adults not children or midgets. I just came back arriving early The restaurant was substantially full. We were seated at a table with only 16 inches of space between the back of the chair and table. We tried sliding the heavy table but there was no were to slide it too as the other chairs were backed into another customer.3 rolls were put at the end of the table so when an attempt to use your arms in this small space a large drink was toppled over. Soda all over an entire outfit dripping down the leg from the crotch and breast. BECAUSE IF SITTING IN WET...THE MEAL COULD NOT BE ENJOYED....because it was difficult to use your arms and being drenched. THIS IS NOT AN ENJOYABLE PLACE TO DINE...unless you are lucky to get a table when there are few clients. Although the food is good...it's not a place to entertain friends or heaven forbid a date nite. I know why they're busy...it's because Whitby really lacks fine dining restaurants. Will I return ? I purchased a seizable gift certificate...so possibly use for take out. Without the gift certificate..the answer would be no. I would rather drive further so that a dinner nite out could be enjoyed TOO BAD WHEN GREED RELINQUISHES TO SERVICE
