10. Bella Frutteto

We eat at Bella Frutteto frequently because their food and service are so great. We've been there for both lunch and dinner and have rarely ordered anything we don't love. Our latest visit was for lunch. The only thing we don't like about their lunch menu is that they don't serve their wonderful bread and dipping oil. It is to die for. What we did have was a shared apple ravioli appetizer with apples, raisins and figs. I'm not a fig or raisin person but I thought it was fantastic. Their use of apples in so many of their dishes is both daring and delicious. I then had the crab cake sliders with a field greens side. I couldn't finish them and took one of the crab cakes for lunch the next day. The sauce on the sliders was so flavorful i was tempted to lick the plate. My sister had their beef tips wrap with Parmesan french fries and a side beet salad. She gave a big thumbs up to the fries and the wrap but saved her warmest review for the beet salad. If you like beets, you want to taste this salad. Our server was excellent but that's par for the course at Bella. One of the things I like most about this restaurant is that even when the restaurant is full, you can carry on a conversation without shouting. I do recommend reservations for dinner but we've found we've never needed them for weekday lunch. They have a seasonal outdoor patio overlooking an apple orchard and ample free parking. We've never gone wrong at Bella and we urge you to try it if you're in the area.

I came to eat here with a reservation, and was seated right away. Our waitress was awesome and explained in detail the specials. I ordered the crab ravioli and my mom ordered the mushroom ravioli special. We both ordered side salads with the house Italian. The salads were huge! They could have easily been a meal with a piece of chicken or shrimp added. The crab ravioli was the best thing i have ever eaten, hands down. Then i tried my mom's mushroom ravioli, and it was even better! We seriously spent a lot of time ooh-ing and awe-ing over our food. Will recommend and return

Went here with a small group for a birthday dinner, and we all enjoyed different selections. We had the different slider and panini meals with the poutine, bruschetta and tomato risotto sides. The combinations of the different meatballs...Classic Beef, Spicy Pork, Chicken, the Meatball of the Month (stuffed pepper), and even the Vegetarian ball were all tasty. The different sauce and cheese choices on the meatballs were quite good as well...but it seemed like the "crack sauce" was the clear winner with the group..This is a casual dining experience with lots of different tastes to experience...highly recommended, if you are considering it.

It's hard to get a bad meal here and this location is particularly pleasant with lots of free parking. Our service was great and our server was attentive but not intrusive. We ordered the combo appetizer with calamari & seafood stuffed mushrooms. Very large and yummy. More than enough for two. I ordered the 6 oz. medium rare filet, which came with pasta alfredo and zucchini. Everything was delicious and the filet was cooked as ordered. My husband had their chicken and shrimp carbonara and reported that it was excellent as well. We shared their endless salad and breadsticks, which come with each meal. I think you can order soup instead of salad but the salad with their signature dressing is so very good that we never have. We also love their Roscato wine, which you seemingly can't get in any other restaurant. I don't know why as it is delicious. Of course we will be back. This is one of our go-to restaurants.

We havenât stopped at Bravos for a long time. So we decided to go there for dinner as we were both hungry for Italian. Without sharing what we were going to order we ended up going with the spaghetti bolognese and we werenât disappointed. The spaghetti was cooked perfectly nice and firm with no hint that it was saturated in water. 90% of time you will get limp soggy spaghetti but not here. I forgot that the bread they bring out is scrumptious and if you want butter they will bring you that instead of oil.

It was the closest pizza restaurant to our hotel and we decided to give it a try. It was a good surprise - pizza was very tasty and the restaurant has a nice atmosphere.
4. Mars Pizza

Have been here about 8 times its never failed being the best pizza in the area. We have tried west Killara west pymble North ryde nothing comes close to the pizza crust. It's thin crunchy and stays that way for a long time. The owner is welcoming the staff are busy doing what they need to do. We dine in. It's clean comfortable and homely. They have a huge takeaway business but we have never been kept waiting. Great pizza!!!!

Had read good reviews and originally went with a traditional Italian meal in mind like eggplant parmigiana but quickly changed our plans to have some pizza when we saw some that came from the kitchen. It was excellent and service was great. We will eat there again when visiting Cranberry.
2. Postis Pizza

Great crust, good sauce - I always ask for extra. They use a good amount of cheese which is key to having a good pizza. My only complaint is they used canned mushrooms.

Our friends told us about Lucianos, and we decided to try them after a hockey game in Cranberry. It... was... delicious!All the food we got was delectable, our service was quick and friendly -- despite their being packed that Saturday evening, and the portions were so large we had plenty of leftovers for the next day.How good was it? The very next day my wife asked if we could go back there!Great job, Lucianos! PLEASE don't change what you are doing.
