This time for my friend's birthday, we had brunch! The potatoes were buttery and perfectly cooked--crispy on the outside, soft and fluffy inside. The short ribs were full of flavor and paired beautifully with the truffle hollandaise sauce on the egg. We also shared the short rib and lobster roll appetizers--both were absolutely delicious. And for the birthday celebration, and they made it extra special by bringing out a bubble machine and fun lighting for videos. It was such a cute, celebratory touch! I also loved the overall vibe! Can't wait to try more brunch menus.

The menu looked delectable. What did we get? - Calabrian sausage Benedict - this was really good, the server asks you how you want the eggs done. Unique focaccia "muffin" and the egg was done really well. The sausage was just a few thin slices though. - comes with arugula salad which was good, not bitter IMO and we asked for extra crispy potatoes and these were th BOMB!! Extra crispy potato skin and amazing crunch. - I liked the porchetta hash. Good meat, great flavour. - bambolini had great sauce. - breakfast carbonara has really rich and tasty sauce. Everything was done great, especially the eggs and potatoes. We would come back in the future for sure.

The food was light and fresh, but I do wish the servings were a bit more - or at least more protein - for the price. My shrimp pasta felt like it needed more of a sauce element.

Food came out, but there was one problem: no cutlery. Oh, how I am to loathe not having cutlery on the table when my food arrives. Sure it was delivered with haste; but it's the principle of the matter. Buratta cheese is not my jam. My dining companion enjoyed it well enough. The calamari was good, but so very oily. The oil seeped all over the plate. Could it not have been placed on a paper towel for a moment or two prior to plating? We'll never know. Will I/we be back? Maybe.

The service was super fast and the staff are super friendly. They really insured that everything was perfect. I really like that they also do pizza making classes which is perfect for group events or kids!

My friend and I enjoyed the brunch at Folietta last month and decided to go back for their dinner…read moremenu. The vibe at night felt completely different, both intimate and cozy. We especially like our bar top seating which is right in front of the open kitchen (we were eyeing which dish to try next time we revisit). We started off with the anchovy bruschetta and the sea bass crudo which is on the daily special. The cultured butter on the bread was creamy and paired well with the saltiness from the anchovy. The sea bass was tender and tasted refreshing and citrusy. Since the appetizers were smaller than expected, we added a focaccia on the side before our pasta arrives. I'm usually not a fan of olive but the dip added a nice tang that is not too overpowering. The ragu in our tagliatelle was flavorful and left us satisfied at the end of our Friday night dinner.

The restaurant looks clean, comfortable, which made me feel relaxed as soon as I walked in. The food was very good and easy to enjoy, even we are not familiar with Italian food. The dishes were well presented and looked fresh. The pasta was cooked nicely, not too soft, and the sauce had a rich and comforting taste. The flavors were balanced and not too heavy, which made the meal enjoyable from start to finish. The service was friendly and attentive. The staff were polite, patient, and helpful when explaining the menu. They made sure everything was okay and did not rush us, which made the dining experience even better. Overall, Claudio's is a great place for a casual meal or a nice dinner with friends or family. It is a good choice if you want to try Italian food in a comfortable and welcoming environment. I would be happy to come back again.

it took a few attempts to finally nail down a lunch date with the ladies, but with a lot of…read morepersistence and determination, we made it happen: a party of four with a 1:00 pm reso on a tuesday. claudio's came recommended by a friend, run by the sons of the family behind la roca on commercial drive, many moons ago, and also the team behind pasta amore. the restaurant is named after their dad, claudio, which automatically sets expectations a notch higher. finding the place itself was easy enough on google maps. the parkade, however, was another story. finding my car after lunch turned into a misadventure that no one asked for. inside, claudio's is bright, open, and airy, with soaring ceilings and generous natural light. warm wood tables, a cozy booth with deep leather seats invite lingering, and vintage style photos line dark walls, adding nostalgia. greenery spills down from a ledge near the ceiling, softening the exposed pipes and ductwork above, like a leafy curtain politely disguising the ventilation system. the open kitchen, anchored by a wood fired pizza oven, is a strong visual cue that pizza is serious business here. our arrival, unfortunately, was...odd. one friend became convinced the front door was locked. diners were clearly inside, but she swore a staff member made eye contact and didn't move to help. we circled the building like confused cats looking for a secret entrance before returning to the front door. still nothing. i finally called the restaurant and was told, cheerfully, that the door was open. eventually, another customer attempted entry, gave the door a heroic yank, and voila, it opened. shoutout to that stranger. less so to the brunette staff member whose vibe leaned towards standoffish. once seated, spirits lifted quickly. we were celebrating a birthday and decided to share, which felt right given the generous portions. the table filled up nicely: calamari fritti, a verde salad, and a capricciosa pizza topped with tomato, fior di latte, prosciutto cotto, mushrooms, olives, and artichokes. the spread looked inviting, exactly the kind of lunch you want to linger over. the calamari arrived first and was a highlight, absolutely stole the show. lightly breaded, crisp without being greasy, with a mix of rings and jalapenos and a side of pale, creamy aioli, it was the dish everyone kept reaching back for. if there's one must order at the table, this is it. the verde salad, dressed in a pinkish vinaigrette and sprinkled with toasted hazelnuts and shaved cheese, leaned a bit heavy handed on the dressing and felt slightly wilted, though the flavours were there. the pizza arrived last, rustic, with a blistered, wood fired crust and toppings scattered generously. the crust was thin and pleasantly chewy, not oily, though a touch soggy in the centre. still, it held its own and disappeared quickly. we shared an affogato with gelato, espresso, with crumble and a generous portion of tiramisu with a dusting of cocoa powder spelling out happy birthday was a thoughtful finishing touch. both hit the sweet spot without tipping into overly rich territory. all in all, it was a lovely afternoon, good food, plenty of laughter, and the easy comfort of catching up with old friends. claudio's has a lot going for it: a beautiful space, standout calamari, and solid pizza. the parking maze and the great door mystery were 'character building', to say the least. i'd definitely come back, though next time, i might bring a crowbar.
