    Fettuccine with smoked chicken

    Our waitress was lovely, I believe her name was Tina. Supper attentive and incredibly friendly. My pasta was also delicious, it had a large amount of vegetables in it which I thoroughly enjoy. Also had the passion fruit sangria and would highly recommend that

    The first time I came here was with my husband for a business meeting with a colleague. We decided to order a few plates of appetizers and share them, which turned out to be a great choice. The service was excellent and attentive. I loved the ambiance, which was classy and sophisticated with an older crowd. The prices were reasonable for the quality and presentation of the food. I will definitely be coming back to try out some other dishes.

    Ordered from here twice during COVID, and it's a great Italian place for when you're looking for a more upscale meal (ironically, takeout kind of kills the vibe). The first time, we got a BUNCH of food. Started off with the antipasto misto and grilled calamari, then shared the lobster ravioli, linguine pescatore, cioppino, and the prosciutto, arugula e parmigiano pizza. The second time, I got the cioppino (I loved it the first time) while he ordered the osso buco. Antipasto misto This cheese and charcuterie board was salty!! I loved the olives and prosciutto - the other meats were okay. My family wasn't a fan, but we don't often have these boards. Overall, a good snacking appetizer - but we simply had too much food! Grilled calamari This was delicious! The calamari had a great crisp on the edges, and came perfectly, simply seasoned. I had... five pieces? Definitely hogged this dish! Would order again. It came on presented on a few leaves of greens, some tomatoes, etc. The baby greens soaked up the olive oil, which imparted flavour too. Lobster ravioli This was a super creamy dish, very rich and indulgent. There were bits of lobster both within the ravioli and in the sauce. While good, it wasn't my favourite... though my sister seemed to really enjoy it! Linguine pescatore I was pleasantly surprised at how much seafood (and the variety) came with this plate of linguine. This made the $28 price tag somewhat worth it. There were big, meaty scallops, decent-sized shrimp, lots of mussels, and baby clams. The spaghetti was very lightly seasoned, allowing you to truly taste the seafood. Cioppino This was my favourite dish! Came with a massive lobster (though both times the lobster was dry - can't blame them), chunks of fish, mussels, scallops, and shrimp. I loved the flavour of the fennel in the buttery tomato soup. It also came with two pieces of grilled focaccia (which honestly resembled more like garlic bread) to sop up the soup. I could get this again and again, particularly as the weather turns colder. Osso buco To be honest, out of all the menu items, I found this the most disappointing. The veal shank was indeed fall-off-the-bone tender, but I found it underseasoned and not really flavourful. The mashed potatoes were creamy, but again, the daily vegetables (ours were pea bits and some slightly bitter squash) were lacking. Meh. Would not get again Prosciutto, arugula e parmigiano pizza This pizza was BOMB. It had a lot of cheese, but the few leaves of arugula on the top added some pizzaz and seemed to make the dish healthier. I'm a sucker for salty food (... also sweet, maybe just a sucker for all food) and this pizza hit the spot. It was also one of the better pizzas I've had ever! Trattoria Timone is a fantastic spot for Italian food. Can't wait to try this place and sit to enjoy the ambiance once COVID is over!

    Easy 5 star. I was craving seafood and this place HIT. I think every animal in the ocean was in front of me and it was fresh, abundant, and cooked to perfection. Good service and ambiance, not too stuffy, it was lively and vibrant!

    Good place next to a cineplex which allows one to combine an evening out well. Very busy place however the service was excellent and efficient. The dessert menu has enough options and great quality.

    We wanted a quick dinner before our 6:30 movie. We arrived at 5:30 and they ensured they would get us out on time. No bread was offered to as...assuming because we were in a rush and I am gf?? Regardless, they should have offered. Hubby had bruschetta followed by spaghetti bolognese. He asked for spicy oil which they had readily available. He LOVED his meal. It was simple but delicious and comforting. I asked for a gf veg pasta. Their only gf pasta is a penne so I got pasta primavera with lots of veggies, a tomato sauce and no cheese. I also sprinkled some chili oil on top and it was very tasty. They renovated the interior since our last visit about 3 years ago. It is very open and quite pretty on the inside.

    Great atmosphere, service and food. They had a nice starry ceiling which looked so magical. I got the lobster ravioli which was amazing. The bruschetta was great and everyone else enjoyed their meal as well. My only complaint about ravioli anywhere I go, is, you never get enough. I don't live in Oakville but if I did, I wouldn't hesitate to come back here.

    This seafood paparedelle was off the chain. Usually I don't like cream sauces but it wasn't too rich. Just the right amount of rich. Lots of great seafood and the zucchini and butternut squash are a great touch. Highly suggest two spoons of the parm though. Mmmm the fat that is needed that is the only reason it loses a point. Service was great. That buffalo mozzarella was mind blowing and the calamari was well cooked. I'd go back for sure. Some cute cocktails on the menu too but I didn't try any

    I came here because someone we were with swore by it…read more Interior of the restaurant was dimly lit. A few tables. A giant illuminated decorative tree of some kind took up a lot of space. Also anyone pulling into the parking lot is sure to blind you with their headlights so maybe best to pick a seat away from the windows. We ordered the Adonis entrée, the Chicken Shawarma entrée, Lamb Souvlaki entrée, a Shish Kafta entrée and a few Lentil soups. All of the entrees came with the same Rice, Potatoes and Greek Salad. The Lamb was cooked well, and for $30+ it better be. Chicken Souvlaki was drenched in sauce so of course it tasted good. The Kafta was AWFUL. So dry and bland. Every bite was making my mouth dry. What a bummer. The Lentil soup was ok but I feel like it didn't taste as authentic as other places I have been. It could have used more spices. The potatoes that came with the meals were just ok. They didn't taste good or bad. However the rice that came with the meals was bland and tasteless. No saffron or anything. Literally around the corner from this place is a restaurant called Sidra and it serves waaaaaaay better Shawarma, Lentil Soup, Kafta (tikka), and their meals come with amazingly flavorful rice and garlic potatoes. With such a better place nearby I don't know why you would come here instead.

Adonis is by far my favorite Mediterranean restaurant in town; much better than Monfort and Agabi in my opinion. Usually I come here for one thing, and one thing only; the Adonis Schwarma on a pita. It is quite similar to the Monfort Chicken on a Pita served at Monfort, but with one brilliant addition - BACON. You get seasoned chicken breast, pineapple, garlic sauce, your choice of a wholewheat or white pita, and the option to have it prepared spicy, plus BACON. Delicious! Additionally, the portion size is larger than at Monfort's, and I prefer the taste of the garlic sauce at Adonis. The service at Adonis is super friendly. You can tell that it is family owned and operated as it is the same staff working whenever I visit. You also know it is good service if every time you leave walking away thinking that the waitress is flirting with you. Me and my friends all feel this way, which is a good way to leave a restaurant. If anything, it does take a while to prepare your order, so I usually call ahead and take it to go. Overall, I highly recommend Adonis. It loses one star for the wait times, but it is certainly one of Oakville's best hidden jewels!

For a large table, that's frustrating. Nevertheless, with a bit of a wait, we got that sorted though it seemed to upset other hostile customers. The space is quite large and can accommodate groups if and when the area is not crowded. The problem is they don't cap the restaurant when it's at capacity. Decor is lovely, showcasing Arab traditions, which is a nice touch. Sometimes you get really good service, other times it needs work. Buffets require topping up, especially when expecting large crowds. It's not okay to keep accepting customers and then run out of food and have nothing to offer them. I've seen this happen and I felt discomfort for all parties; the patrons who came and left with hungry bellies and the staff who were embarrassed by this outcome. On two occassions I remember really well, the lineup was extraordinarily long and people were behaving in unusual ways; fighting over lineups, butting in, piling their plates high and leaving a lot untouched or not eaten and wasting food, not accounting for others and acting like it was their last meal. It was a literal zoo. By the time we made it to the chafing dishes, many were out. We tried some foods and found that some lacked flavour and taste and were missing the ingredients needed for the dish. Fettuccine was one of them. Food was average. A small number of dishes stood out. Freekeh was pretty good. I liked the butter chicken, though others did not. One person from our table liked the kusa and mansaf meat. I also enjoyed the mansaf but didn't manage to get any meat. We liked the hummus and mutabbal. I enjoyed the fatteh, it was a bit different from how my mama makes it. There was no dessert, coffee or tea offered. Shisha could only be had outside on the patio and during very specific times. Even if you wanted that, the space was too tight and would knock it over and likely cause a fire. Then a stampede would break out and good luck not getting trampled on..

For my appetizer, I got a green salad which had a nice dressing to it, tiny tomatoes, and tiny cut up figs. I would have liked bigger pieces of figs (if you are going to include it in the menu). For the main dish, I got rainbow trout which came out smaller than I imagined. It should be cooked well since it was a thin piece too. The spinach rice was a nice side and the salad had a nice colour to the overall dish. My partner's short ribs were not tender and it was hard to chew on. He said the meat didn't fall off the bone.

I did remember it being good and portions being generous. Last night we visited the Oakville location. We planned to eat a few other treats later in the night so we decided to just split the pork souvlaki meal. When ordering I said we were just going to order one meal and share. When the food came, to my surprise, there were 2 plates, each with our one meal portioned out! I was so surprised. I didn't even ask them to do this. As you can see from the picture, they were basically 2 full meals almost. I couldn't even finish mine! I took some home. My bf cleaned his plate but he was defs not still hungry. He also mentioned how he really liked it ( he's Greek) and it felt healthy. I agreed. I loved the rice and tzatziki. The potatoes were such a generous serving and it was the perfect amount of salad. The pork was the slightest bit a tad dry but I'm not complaining at all. It's my one little critique. When the bill came, there was a $3 charge for a "split meal". However, we weren't bothered by this because we both ate and were satisfied for $30. It's rare to find that anywhere these days at a sit down resto. We are for sure coming back.

It's a small place so we were able to snag a nice table by the window. Service was fast, friendly, and efficient, too. I decided to get the Lamb Shawarma combo with fries. The food was ready within about 10 minutes, but first we were given a complimentary appetizer of fried pita and sauce. This was definitely a great start to the meal, as both components were delicious. I especially loved that sweet, tangy sauce, and I made a point of holding onto some of it for my fries. (I needn't have done that since the fries also came with said sauce.) Those fries are very tasty, too. They're obviously straight out of a bag, but they've been sprinkled with this really tasty seasoning that elevates them considerably. As for the wrap, it's good. The ingredients work well together and the plentiful lamb is tender and tasty. My only issue was this underlying bitterness that was kind of a distraction all the way through. But it wasn't too problematic thanks to the other flavors contained within (as well as a liberal application of that sauce).
