The menu has something for everyone - from picky eaters to more adventurous diners. The portions are generous, so we ended up sharing a few things. The kids' menu was actually decent quality, not just nuggets and fries (though they had those too!). There's plenty of space, the noise level is manageable, and they didn't rush us out even though we lingered for ages. A great choice if you're organising a get-together.

Wife and I went on a Saturday early evening. Bread and oil was very good, calamari also very good…read more Both had pasta which was OK, not great. Ravioli was too watery, flavour so so. Biggest issue was the service. Waited close to 10 minutes after being seated before anyone came. Every course was slow to be served and waiting for the bill took excessive time. Been there before and all was great, this time not so much due to terrible service. May or may not go back.

We happened to drive by Zio's Restaurant and for some reason, it caught our eye. I don't know what…read moreit was but something told me I had to try it out. Man was I right. To start, as you enter the place, the owner's wife greets you with a very friendly "Hello" you are then seated and offered the menu. We ordered Bruschetta for appetizer and I ordered the Veal Sandwich which was Incredible. My daughter had the Pizza and my wife the Fettuccine Alfredo. We ate and left very satisfied. I give this place 5 stars. I loved the people, the vibe, the low music which allowed us to converse, The food, the atmosphere, the pictures on the wall (they are authentic by the way, I asked) and everything about the experience. I hope they open a location in South Barrie. Until they do, This will be our go-to place for Italian restaurant with a friendly smile. If you are like my wife, Restroom cleanliness tells her how clean the restaurant is. She was very impressed with this one (Thank God). This made me and my daughter breathe easy, as it meant that "We are staying". Thank You Giancarlo!!

I would give this place zero stars if it were an option. This was hands down the worst service I…read morehave ever experienced. I brought a group of 12 for a birthday dinner, and from the moment we arrived, we were treated with utter contempt by a server named Gustavo, who apparently also owns the establishment. The disrespect started immediately. While we were simply organizing our seating (before even ordering), he became visibly angry and hostile. After our appetizers arrived, he completely abandoned the table. Our used plates were never cleared, we were never asked how the food was, and we waited over an hour for our main courses. When we tried to order another round of drinks while waiting, Gustavo told us he was "way too busy" to take our order and that we "needed to figure it out" despite us being ready to order. When I politely mentioned that I hadn't ordered an appetizer and was very hungry, asking if my pizza could come out, he snapped, "You will get your order when all the others come out. I'm not going to push ahead your order for that." The "owner" then had the audacity to lecture us, raising his voice and telling us, "this is what I mean with you guys," because we had adjusted our seats at the beginning of the night. When I finally asked for the bill to escape the situation, he brought me someone else's check. When I pointed out the error, he blamed us again, laughed in our faces, and scoffed. When we told him we wanted to speak to someone above him, he condescendingly told us, "You're not in this industry, you don't know." Save your money and go somewhere where the staff, and the owner actually value their customers. Gustavo is unprofessional, disrespectful, and has no business being in the hospitality industry. Absolutely disgusting behavior.

4.5/5 It has been a while since our last visit, this is another gem in the neighbourhood. Excellent…read morefood, excellent services (from the moment of online reservations, then change of reservation via phone, to service delivery inside the restaurant). Foods are always great, but I think the vegan portobello mushroom is overpriced at $34 given only 2 fried mushrooms served with vegetables, but it's fresh and tasty and so were all other dishes. The truffle fries & truffle mushroom pizza were excellent. The slightly pan fried gnocchi was quite special as this was the first time I saw gnocchi served this way. Overall, this is always an excellent authentic Italian restaurant, I always look forward to coming back!

We had an absolutely delightful dinner and enjoyed all that came with it: service, lighthearted conversation and jokes with the owners. So we started off with some lightly fried calamari appetizers with a side dish of marinara dipping sauce that were excellent. After which we had a mushroom and cheese pizza that was cooked to perfection, enjoyed every slice of it. For the main dish we enjoyed a paccheri pasta dish with very light tomato broth, zucchini and shrimps. I would say it was top notch delicious. We paired it very well with a bottle of Chianti. These little family run restaurants are getting harder and harder to find, so we were very happy to have been invited here by our friends. It's definitely going to be one of our go to places.

One of the popular restaurants at Friday Harbour. We made a reservation for 11 of us in advance but…read morewhen we arrived, the hostess informed us that there was no reservation made. Quite a rough start to our dining experience here, since it was confirmed over the phone from their staff previously. After some back and forth, I assume it was the manager, made it work for us, and we sat on their patio/ outdoor area. The restaurant indoor looked super cozy and cute! The staff here and service onwards was great so it really made up for the first hiccup when we entered. Food was good as well with some hit or misses: Burrata 5/5 - Came with proscuitto. Great starter with the creamy burrata and salty proscuitto. Caesar salad 4/5 - Nothing too special and can probably skip on this dish. But if you like caesar salads, this is a good palette opener. Rucola e Pera 4/5 - A good baby arugula salad with pear, toasted walnuts, parm and lemon vinaigrette. Frittura misa 5/5 - Can't go wrong with fried seafood. This came with calamari, black tiger shrimp and a lemon aioli. Perfectly cooked and quite delicious. Penne ala vodka 4/5 - Penne with rose sauce. It's a good dish but have had better in Toronto restaurants. Fettuccine ai funghi 5/5 - Creamy fettuccine sauce with wild mushrooms. Couldn't really taste the white truffle oil here but it's a good sharing dish since it's quite heavy. Funghi pizza 5/5 - Again, couldn't taste any truffle on this dish but was still good. Calabrese pizza 5/5 - Always a favourite pizza flavour. I asked for some honey on the side which really elevated this pizza for me. Linguine allo scoglio 5/5 - Nice, fresh seafood pieces and a great cherry tomato sauce. Special: rabbit 4/5 - Got adventurous and tried the rabbit dish. It tasted kind of like chicken and was pretty tender. Overall, a great dining experience if you're at Friday Harbour. Probably one of the better restaurants in the area.

They were a bit tough & the sauce was a bit sour. Prosciutto & melon was the first time ever I'd had the dish with a melon other than cantaloupe. Honeydew melon doesn't have the same fragrance (or colour contrast). The dish was also served with syrup for some reason (another first). Pollo ala cream was pretty tasty. The rice looked plain & was slightly lumpy, but was subtly flavoured. The onions were very firm. Penne ala vodka was decent but came with no protein - even pancetta was a top up. Cheesecake was good. I think it was La Rocca - the chocolate cake certainly is (I saw the box). They don't serve tap water but it's $1. They only told us it would be Bottled water after it came
