Though quiet when we visited in the afternoon it was a great experience…read more First the decor is very clean and elegant, I felt a little underdressed but in no way is there a sense of elitism here. Second, the staff, friendly, considerate and responsive. I also appreciated not feeling like I was only asked how things were when my mouth was full. Often a issue at many restaurants I've been too. Third, the food, well it was tasty, filling, a true delight to the palette. After finishing dinner we discussed the need to return and order more things from the menu. Overall it was a true dining experience that's worthwhile to experience multiple times. The menus only issue was it was filled with mouthwatering options.

On the west-end of Kingston, near the Cataraqui Centre is this hidden gem. Downtown Kingston is…read morefilled with upscale Italian establishments but a bit outside the downtown core is Go Italian. They have a rather large patio of about 5-6 tables and about 10 or so tables inside. Their menu has plenty of selection, with your typical Italian appetizers, sandwiches, pasta, and pizza. I opted for the Seafood Linguini for $23. It was rather nice with a good batch of shrimp, scallop and mussels which were all cooked well. I went with the garlic cream sauce as it fits the seafood style a bit better IMO but you can also go with a marinara sauce as well. The sauce was very cheesy and tasty. Very good stuff! Service was good and overall atmosphere is nice in the place. Pretty far from downtown and I'd say doesn't directly compete with the likes of Olivea and Casa Domenico as those seem a bit more upscale but Go Italian is a solid choice when you're craving Italian in the area.

That's just the weirds stuff that I like... the FOCACCIA -- they're baking it right there! There's only two sandwiches. This is a GOOD THING... meat or veggie. Apart from amazing -- small detail: romaine, crispy, super fresh... the meats and veggie patty: great recipe. This all before mentioning their namesake dish... pasta... six feet away from the baking, a lady pulling noodles out of a pasta machine, which I'll have to experience next time.

Since moving to Toronto, I miss Pasta Genova deeply…read more They have some of the very best focaccia anywhere, which alone is enough to recommend them. But they also have nearly peerless homemade pastas (of which the smoked paprika linguine is my favourite, though they often only make it by request), spectacular prepared sauces, and regular specials on essentials that will get you things like premium olive oil or balsamic vinegar* at supermarket prices. * Genova is one of the few places I've regularly found a variety of pure, aged balsamic vinegar free from sulphites. AWESOME. So, here's some tips: 1) They ONLY TAKE CASH, no exceptions. I once witnessed a woman curse them out for this fact and declare she'd tell all her friends not to shop there; when she left, everyone in the tiny shop, myself included, burst out laughing, and one of the guys declared "we can barely keep up with the customers we have, we don't need her!". Very jovial, and they took her bitch-fest so perfectly in-stride they could give lessons on how to turn the other cheek. 2) If you need a quick lunch, pick up a focaccia sandwich -- they're about $4 if memory serves, with salami, lettuce, tomato, and mustard, and they're fantastic! If you want to suddenly realize you're hungry, walk down Wellington around 11:00am for the wafting glory of baking focaccia and just try to resist the pull. 3) When ordering pasta instead of ordering by weight, order by serving size. Say things like "I'm having a dinner party for six, four big eaters and two regular", and they'll give you an incredibly accurate amount of what you need, plus a little extra (because people WILL want seconds, believe me!). 4) Their homemade calabrese olives are out of this world good. They use a puree of oil-marinated chilis, oregano, fennel (I think), and oil, and very, very good sun cured olives... and damn, these things are so good I eat them until I hurt. 5) Ask what's on special, or if they have any leftovers. I've scored half servings of pasta, day old (but still delicious) focaccia, and nearly expired but still awesome cheese for cheap. Finally, I'll also mention that the staff here are fabulous -- very nice people who greet with a smile, always bid a good day, and work diligently to help provide you with exactly what you need to hit a homerun with whatever it is you're cooking. Only downside: Toronto Maple Leaf fans. Egads!

Our main meal came and both our dishes were cold. The waiter took them back to the kitchen and when they came back they were still cold. I ate about 1/4 of my pasta which is gluten free ( G/F pasta cold is gross) I asked the waiter to put it in a take out so I could bring it home to heat up. My husband ordered Veal Parm. The veal was about the size of my palm very small. It was a very disappointing evening. We will not be going back

She had the Artic Char. Wow. The grilled veggies were divine, and the mashed potatoes that the fillet was sitting on had the perfect melt in your mouth to texture. A great plate of food! The online reservation system made it too easy to get a table at our preferred time. If I could award 6 stars, I would in a heartbeat!

Everything was excellent, from the elevated service, to the decor, to the music, to the cozy and elegant ambiance....and the food blew us all away! You don't always expect to be full when you leave a nicer restaurant, but Riva was an exception- the portions were generous. The sourdough was delectable, the caprese ingredients were fresh and colorful, and my pasta was hearty and full of vegetables. The chicken breast I ordered to go with my pasta was moist, but bland- perhaps blackening it or simply adding more seasoning would help. My husband's pizza was sooo garlicky (in the best way possible!), and the crust was an ideal texture and chewiness. My mother in law ordered the fish of the day, which was salmon with a mint cauliflower puree and asparagus- it was delectable! My father in law ordered the spaghetti aglio e olio and thoroughly enjoyed it. We were so satisfied when we left, but wish we had left some room to sample their desserts. If/when we return to the area, we will most certainly be visiting Riva again!
