**A True Hidden Gem in Orillia ** As we were passing through Orillia, we decided to stop into **Theo's Restaurant** for a bite to eat--and I'm so glad we did. From the moment we walked in, we were warmly greeted and brought to our table with such genuine hospitality. The space is spotless, intimate, and beautifully styled, creating the perfect atmosphere for a cozy meal. The menu is filled with wonderful Greek and Italian options, and everything we ordered was absolutely delicious. The bruschetta was outstanding, and the veal parm was perfection. The food alone is worth the visit, but the service truly elevated the experience. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, giving us that small-town connection where we didn't feel like "just customers." We also noticed the same level of care at the tables around us--clearly, this is how they treat everyone who walks in. Theo's is definitely a place I'd stop at again on my next trip back. And for anyone who lives in Orillia, it's a wonderful spot for a family celebration, a special date night, a relaxed dinner out, or even a business meeting. **Five stars all the way. The Theo family has done an incredible job.** Anja Lavigne ( Toronto/Kwarthas ) read more

What a great experience. Fast and friendly service. A refill brought without even asking! The pepper was full not that we used it and they give enough tzatziki sauce to swim in (not that I'd recommend trying that) We aren't positive but think it's POSSIBLE Justin Beiber was at another table here. You be the judge. Deffo would recommend. read more

Garlic bread was meh and French onion soup was a tad too salty, but still giving 5/5 for the spanakopita and pork souvlaki plates. The spanakopita was crispy and flakey while the salad was perfectly dressed and tossed. Looooove the thick slices of feta cheese!! The pork souvlaki was thick and juicy while the veggies, rice, and potatoes were perfectly portioned and seasoned. Would definitely return for the dinner but skip the appetizers. read more

Best Italian restaurant in town. Delicious spaghetti and pizza! Friendly staff! Definitely will be going again next time I'm in town! read more

Food was good and portion fine but not spectacular, Ambiance was the same. May return may not

My children wanted to surprise me for my birthday and order in from Theo's. The food was delicious. The pickup could use some help. Need to have a bigger space for ordering and pick up as our food was ready just needed someone to pass it over. Staff was so busy helping other people and food get cold quick not saying ours was cold but could have really quickly if my son didn't speak up. This space needs to be bigger for takeout as this business has grown so much. Maybe a separate counter for ordering takeout would help. Otherwise great food and will worth your money. Keep up all the good work read more

Excellence! Consistency! Been eating here for atleast 15 years maybe longer.... we make trips an hour just to go here, and will stop here just for sake of stoping here. Even if we get the out and eat in the car in the parking lot... three cheese tortellini and the chicken parm with pasta. Yummy read more

Well I wish I could comment on the food on Sunday but we weren't able to get any. After spending 30 minutes composing our take out order and phoning several times and eventually being disconnected we gave up and assumed that they weren't open on Sundays This is contrary to Yelp's app and the restaurant's website This was confirmed by a drive past on the way to a restaurant that was actually open Either Yelp needs to update their website or the restaurant needs to My past experience with their food however has been excellent and I'm assuming that is still the case read more

Our friends had raved about Theo's, so we came for our anniversary with our son, very much looking forward to it. Ordered spanakopita and bruschetta and a couple of drinks, followed by steak, lamb chops and a kid's meal. The whole experience was shockingly average, especially for the $130 bill we ended up with. The place was packed and I'm assuming the servers were short staffed, so we barely saw our server. Tasted straight out of a diner: almost no flavour to the meat, undercooked potatoes, soggy veggies, half-baked appies. We took 3 or 4 bites, then called it a night. Our server came to the table, saw that we had barely eaten anything, and asked if we wanted dessert. No inquiry to see if maybe they've been a problem with the meal, just the bill. Nothing special at all about the whole thing. Sounds like a lot of people have had positive experiences so maybe you'll get lucky, but we won't be back. read more

Not the same as before covid Small portions Terrible service No garlic bread or Parmesan cheese served I won't be back SO DISAPPOINTED read more

Went to Theo's with my family. They all really enjoyed their food and the portions are really big. The 3 of them all ordered different kinds of pasta. I ordered a pizza. They mentioned it was "Italian" pizza with fresh made in house pizza dough but to me it was quite average and not very authentic. However, my cousin ate the left over pizza the next day and mentioned it was delicious so maybe it's just me. Waitress was friendly and attentive. Overall a good experience but next time I would probably choose to go at a less busy time. read more

we had dinner at this restaurant it was on of the worst food, I think people like it because they have big serving so old peoples take half of it home but quality is garbage read more

The food is good, the waitress we had was excellent. Will go again and try more stuff on the menu. Little pricey but bigger portions than expected. read more

Theo's Eatery - Chicken parmigiana - Pizza Near Me - Orillia, Ontario

** Based on Take-Out ** Stayed in Orillia over the Canada Day weekend, and this restaurant was known as one of the top restaurants in the city. So of course after hearing this, we decided to get take-out. I was so happy we decided to go with Theo's. We ordered the garlic bread with mozzarella, medium two topping pizza with pepperoni and sausage, and chicken souvlaki which came with a side salad. All three dishes were amazing; had a lot of flavour and portions were perfect, it was more than enough for two people. I will def. come here to eat if I'm in the area again :) read more

Nice atmosphere. Food is very tasty. Prices are affordable. Service is pleasant. We go here often.

Very frustrating, they never answer the phone on a Friday or Saturday night . how the heck can you place an order? Anyone have any helpful suggestions to get an order in? read more

Great food. Lots of great options to choose from. Can't wait to return soon. Large portions

Came to Orillia to catch a movie. Came here for dinner after finding on maps. Food was excellent. Had the lasagna and my wife had the California Penne which were both excellent recommendations from our waitress. Place was packed on a Thursday at 6 which was good to see. Service was excellent despite it being busy. Our waitress was excellent. Somehow she made us leave feeling happier haha. Wish I got her name to give her a shout out. Will definitely come here again. read more

Theo's food is amazing. Best pizza on the planet. Best Caesar salad ever. Wait staff is amazing particularly Franny. Make a reservation as they are always busy. read more

Really good food. We have been here several times and have always enjoyed the food and atmosphere. Seems they have two sections of the the resteraunt. One a bit bar like vs a bit more formal. Either way the service and food are really good. The baked Italian dishes are our go to dinners but the steaks are pretty good as well. Not a bad idea to make a reservation . Enjoy read more

Theo's has excellent lasagna. It is the sauce that makes this dish plus the creamy, buttery mozzarella cheese. Their stuffed mushroom caps are also excellent. Their home made Caesar salad dressing is also special and delicious. All portions are generous. I love their Very Berry Cheesecake. I'm giving them 4.5 stars only because their decor is not current. Staff are efficient and very eager to please even during COVID take out only restrictions. They are BUSY all the time but your patience will be rewarded with their consistently good food. read more

Got carry out pizza and a Greek salad. Great pizza and very fresh ingredients . If your looking for a good pizza in Orillia, there are a lot of places available but this place came through as the best. Pass by the chains and order out you won't be disappointed. read more

Excellent pizza, great pasta fantastic salads.. Try the Cesar salad.Yum!!!!!! You cannot go wrong at this restaurant. Great staff read more

I don't go out to often, but I am never upset going to Theo's Eatery. If I could recommend you to get a certain dish, seriously grab their Lasagna or their Penne California. Both amazing dishes and you will not be disappointed. read more

Not what it used to be. The food is greasy and sloppy and the are screwing up the orders,then they take no responsibility for the mistake. As I question the answer I'm giving the manager told me if I don't like it go else where. I think that is a great idea. I will now share that idea with Instagram, Twitter and everyone I can. It's shirt sleeves to short sleeve for this family..:( read more

Best burgers in town. Friendly and quick service. Highly recommended. The washrooms were very clean.

One of the better Italian restaurants that I have visited while working in Canada. Starting with the house salad, it was extremely good, especially with their house Italian dressing. The meal that I chose this night was the veal parmigiana with a side of spaghetti. The bill was very well prepared and extremely tender. The spaghetti was portioned on my plate in abundance with a large amount of the house spaghetti sauce atop the pasta. The sauce was very tasty, full of flavor and had just a hint of cinnamon in it, which made it very good. Extremely good table service. read more

Always reliable for great food, good portions, great atmosphere. There are so many great dishes so you really can't go wrong! Whatever you order make sure you try their Greek salad..... Best ever! Also love the Lamb dish. And the chicken souvlaki. The baked pastas are also awesome... And their classic Theos pizza is one of my favourites too. read more

Theo's Eatery - Lamb... Cooked medium which makes it more tender. Delicious potatoes and grilled vegetables. Came with a delicious Greek salad to start. - Pizza Near Me - Orillia, Ontario

Amazing Food is fresh hot and affordable ! Good service and nice atmosphere Way better then any name brand! We got the lasagna and the California penne! A must! read more

lovely place, but why would they get rid of the ravioli? it was so yummy. bring it back

We had booked two concerts at Casino Rama and a hotel on hotwire, please see my review for the econolodge if you want to read that horror story.. Theo's was discovered because it is located across the street from the econolodge in Orillia. when we spotted it, we noticed the parking lot was busy so we decided to go. There are limited options in Orillia, and I like trying new places. Theo's is probably one, if not the best restaurant located in Orillia. The atmosphere makes you feel comfortable and welcomed, everyone is friendly and the service is fairly fast even when the place is packed! I have been a couple of times and each time had the veal parmigiana. If you read my reviews then you will know that I love veal and pasta. The food here is delicious! I have yet to be disappointed. The only thing that I don't like is how they only bring one piece of bread for each person at your table, so you have to keep asking for more bread if you are a bread lover like myself. I strongly suggest you make a reservation, as this place has been busy everytime i have went and also if it's a concert night at Rama, I would make a reservation a couple days ahead of time. read more

A good friend who has lived in Orillia for more than 30 years recommended this place to me (nearly 20 years ago). We go there for dinner exclusively (I do not believe it is open for lunch). The baked spaghetti is to die for. Consistently good. Piping hot, very cheesy with pasta cooked to perfection. Portions are very big as well. Sauce tastes home made. Caesar salad dressing is also home made and deliciously tangy! This restaurant is always busy. They do take reservations, so I would recommend making one if you plan to go on a weekend. read more

Great food- highly recommended. Tried the tortellini and California - superb! Friendly and helpful wait staff. Not too noisy. A great experience! read more

Unreal pasta dishes & the homemade Caesar salad dressing is hands down the best I've had. Garlic lovers dream! The place is always packed, so it's smart to make reservations (especially on weekends and at dinner time). Take out is usually ready for pick up within 30-45 minutes and even after driving home the food is still very hot. read more

My husband and I invited another couple (Bryan Barnes) to join us at Theo's on Feb 14th/2020. The food was good. However, we all felt as if we were on a treadmill. We were whisked to our table which we thought was a good sign. Our drinks were brought quickly, the horderves came quickly, the meal came quickly. We were not offered a second drink at all. Before we knew it only 40 minutes had passed and our entire evening was over.... Clearly the staff had been told to turn over the tables quickly. We did not enjoy being rushed like that. We hadn't seen our friends in months and were so looking forward to catching up on Valentines Day. Theo's was not the place to have dinner that night if your intention was to relax and enjoy a meal. Disappointing but we will probably go back, just not on a special occasion. read more

"It's always busy here" says my dining companions. I wish I had a Theo's in my town! You'll need a reservation for any time on the weekend. The kitchen was slammed as every seat in the house was taken (we had a party of 8 which we made reservations for) Everything's homemade - even the caesar salad dressing (make sure your date has one too, it's intense but wonderful with real anchovies). Get a burger for around $8 or roasted lamb for $22 there's something for everyone Not a fan personally of the potatoes, they're probably a house favourite, but swap them out for the house grilled veggies. Pasta is big portions - the staff is used to bringing the take home container out, and quite recommend it, honestly LOL, which is nice. My mom ordered the phillo wrapped haddock and dill sauce - apparently it's divine - crispy phillo - fish cooked to perfection. Service was slow... glacier slow... not for the entrees, but for everything else (1/2 hour for some cheesecake to be slapped on a plate?) Having said that, and not a huge cheesecake fan, the berry variety was very light and pleasing to the palate. All in all - it's an excellent place, with fabulous variety for everyone in both price and selection. read more

Theos is good. Ate their many times. Probably the best resteraunt in orillia. Portions are big,food is good, price is reasonable and the service is good to. read more

One of the best restaurants in Orillia. I go there every year for my birthday and they never disappoint. The food is great and so is the service. read more

Delicious food, but very pricey. It's the place to go for a celebration. Everything I've had here was extremely tasty! I would highly recommend it if you have money to burn. But it's hard to go back to mediocre food after eating here! You have been warned ;) read more

We went tonight for dinner again, and it was quite busy there. I would suggest a reservation on summer weekend evenings. Tonight we had the crab dip for the appetizer, and it was very tasty. My suggestion is that there was not enough crab dip, and too much bread for what we got. My partner had the chicken and pasta, but he thought that the sauce was a little too garlicky. But there was plenty of tender chicken pieces. My meal was the veal parmigiana sandwich. I suggest some roasted peppers or mushrooms would have enhanced the flavour. The bread was okay. It was an average fare. Generally okay, and service was again hard to find, though our server was friendly when she dealt with us. Just a little below our expectations all around. Decor though, was very nice. read more
