You were so pleased with yourself that you could still operate your business and serve the community. The fact that there was no where else to go for refreshments or snacks didn't bother you at all. All the more for you. All your neighbour restaurants were crippled, and you were still charging 6.00+ for a cup of melting gelato. I mean, seriously? You couldn't meet us half-way, say, offer it up at half-price, perhaps? Acknowledge that if we didn't come and spend money at your counter you would have lost all that ice cream. Honestly, your over-priced gelato, on a good day is passable, but mostly melted in a race to make as much money as possible while you can, well, it tasted pretty gross.

I've been a couple times already and it's our go-to dine-out dinner spot in Fergus at the moment! We're tried their dinner and appetizer specials - pork always done to perfection and generous portions. On their regular menu, we had their calamari which was a bit generic and lack lustre. Their mushroom and pear pizza was ok as well. I'd honestly stick to their pastas and dinner specials!

The most delicious Italian cuisine and best carbonara I have ever had!…read more I used to eat at the Ennio's Waterloo location frequently when I was a university student at the Waterloo location, but this was my first time at the Kitchener location, and it was very nostalgic. When I was first introduced to the spaghetti carbonara, I have never had a carbonara in my life and it was the most delicious dish I have ever tasted that when I visited Italy and ordered spaghetti carbonara everywhere I went, I was very disappointed because I thought this dish at Ennio's was the standard. It is very rich and creamy, with a generous amount of bacon and mushrooms. The server added extra parm cheese and cracked peppers (I didn't tell him to stop for a very long time). We also got the veal, which was good, but the marinara spaghetti was mediocre. We also always get the calamari rustica, which is the best fried calamari I have ever tasted. It has a lightly breaded coat with a sweet and spicy sauce that is to die for. The portions are very generous, and although I tried to stuff myself and eat it all, I had 25% of my pasta left over and no room for dessert. I usually always get the tiramisu, which I was glad they still serve but unfortunately did not have any room in my stomach at all that day. The dishes at this Kitchener location are very consistent with what I remember from my visits to the Waterloo location and am very impressed with the portions. The prices have definitely gone up since my last visit years ago, but I still think it's reasonably priced in our current economy and worth every penny! I prefer the ambiance at the Waterloo location because it feels like a family owned pasta house, whereas, the Kitchener location feels more like a chain restaurant. The service was much slower (waited 10 minutes for menus and over 20 minutes for our appetizer and over 30 minutes for our main dishes on a not so busy Friday night at 9pm). However, the quality of the food and service are comparable between the two locations (food tastes similar and friendly staff). The parking at the Kitchener location is also easier than the Waterloo location since it is located in a large plaza. I would definitely go back to this location since this is closer to the 401 highway and more convenient for travellers driving through the city but if I had more time, I would go back to my nostalgic Waterloo location!

The serving lady was very nice and helpful. I was so disappointed to hear that most of the menu items weren't available, but I was so excited to try homemade pizza and past in an Italian restaurant. We ordered "Sausage & Peppers Pasta", "Bucatini Bison Bolognese pasta", "Classic Canadian Pizza" and "Confit Garlic & Onion Pizza". Pizza dough tasted really good, but my pizza was burned and it was served with no explanations or apologies, which was a put off. Pastas tasted ok but nothing special. To be honest, I expected more of this place based on the marketing and reviews I read on Yelp.

It was a little chilly so the restaurant was considerate enough to have light blankets available for guests. The tables seemed big for the outdoor but they had room. The food for what I had was enjoyable. Mine was the Canadiana Pizza. Very tasty & a decent about of toppings as well. The loss of a 1/2 star was due to the not completely cooked pizza shell. Everything else worked quit well including our server "David". One of the better servers that I've had in quit a while. He was very friendly & attentive & earned his tip. This is an indoor do-over.
