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.

After 10 years, we're finally back to Olivea's and so relieved to find it's still thriving! I've…read morequite literally been craving the fried calimari for years now with those fried capers and lemons. So excited to see it was still there on the menu. We made a reservation a few days ahead just incase. We were only going to be in town for a day and had no ideas if it would be busy. Given we were here for a weekend, we figured it's safest to put in a reservation. I ordered an Orange Grove (non-alcoholic) which has Juniper gin, Bella Aperitif, orange & lemon juice and infused Mighty Leaf Ginger Twist tea syrup. It was so refreshing and delightful! Absolutely gorgeous flavour that tastes like really fresh clementine juice. We got a dozen East Coast oysters to enjoy. Each were beautifully plump, fresh, and a lovely flavour. The accompanying classic shallot mignonette and horseradish were fantastic. For mains, I actually ordered the fritto misto di mare appetizer. It has fried shrimp, scallops, calamari, lemon and caper berries with caper-tarragon aïoli. I don't know if you're meant to eat the lemons and carpers too but I did and it was so delicious. Please never take this off the menu. My partner ordered the gnocchi with beef cheek ragù, truffle and parmesan. Gnocchi were huge and a lovely texture. Delicious ragu that felt very comforting. I'm excited to be back on our next Kingston visit!

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.

They have a lovely bunch of options for pastas (pennes, spaghettini, and linguini's). We ordered the colossal chicken parm which came with fettucini underneath. It was huge! The chicken tasted alright and the sauce was very tomato-y and fresh. It was really salty though and mushy (soggy breading and slightly over cooked pasta). We also got the lemon shrimp spaghettini. This one was far less salty - almost too bland, but I enjoyed the lemony flavour. The shrimp was perfectly cooked!!! This pasta was also a much better texture. Pretty great to have an Italian place with some fresh sauces.

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!

I came here a few years ago on a girls trip and have been thinking about the pizza here ever since!…read moreSpecifically the Nona Mela pizza, which has apple butter, roasted garlic, cheddar, caramelized onions, and blackened chicken. Normally I would never get this type of pizza as I love a red sauce, but this was recommended by one of my friend's friends so we tried it. And I'm so glad we did! This pizza is amazing and the flavours are prefectly balanced. Fast forward to this year, I was on a road trip with my husband and my dog and I just HAD to have this pizza again. We ordered the Nona Mela and the Citta pizza (the Citta has prosciutto and brie), and they were both delicious! The Nona Mela was especially good, and my husband agreed that it was a lot better than what he expected. We couldn't finish the two pizzas between us, so we brought the leftovers home and reheated it two days later. Somehow, the pizza was even better than the day of! We actually ordered an extra Nona Mela to bring home to one of my friends who was on the girls trip a few years ago, as she also has been thinking of this pizza. That's how good it is! The pizza is on the pricier side though, but very worth. We sat on the patio since we had a dog and the waiters/waitresses were very nice and gave my dog a water bowl.
