Portabellos

Reviewed By Indah2014

We have tried every pizza place in Milton over and over and Portabellos had the best pizza in town 10 years ago and it still does in my opinion. Good dough, good sauce and good cheese.. It won't compete with the cheap places in town for price, but if you want good quality Pizza they wont disappoint. My favourite is the Margherita Pizza. I order it once a month.

Main Street Italian Eatery

Reviewed By Old-Eye

We have eaten here several times and the quality of the food is always outstanding. Place is owned and operated my an Italian family who do everything from cooking the food to actually staffing and working the storefront. It is more a takeout restaurant with a hot table than it is a sit down restaurant with only a handful of tables for customers if they wanted to eat in. Menu is quite varied with a number of items to choose from however don't be intimidated by the fact that there are no prices posted anywhere. Just place your order and have faith that they aren't going to gouge you with a ridiculous bill. Prices are always very reasonable and you get great value for what you order. Bring cash with you though because they don't take debit and you are forced to use their inhouse ATM machine and pay the service charge if you come in with no money in your pocket (unfortunate, because in this day and age, most consumers rarely carry cash nowadays!). The food itself is all fresh made and made in house. Nono gets up at the crack of dawn and actually bakes all the donuts himself every morning, and these delectable treats are 10x better than anything you could ever get at Tim's or some other donut franchise chain. While a chocolate glazed or sprinkled donut aren't exactly considered traditional "Italian" fare, the sandwiches and pasta are definitely authentic. We usually get veal or chicken Parmesan loaded with all the fixings (mushrooms, onions, peppers) and the portions are massive. Pizza as well as a variety of pasta dishes ranging from tortellini to penne to lasagna are all available as well. We popped in on a Friday afternoon after swimming lessons at the neighbouring Milton Leisure centre around the corner around 6pm. The restaurant is actually located at the busy interesection of Main/Thompson across from the Superstore plaza. It is in a little, very unassuming, strip plaza with limited parking, sandwiched inbetween some retail stores and a south Asian grocery store in what looks like a building more designated for industrial use. Parking is very limited and tight and to actually get in and out of the lot during the height of the evening rush requires some patience and maneuvering. We ended up getting two chicken Parmesan sandwiches (they had run out of veal!), a small order of tortellini in a rose sauce, a slice of pepperoni pizza and three large donuts to feed my family of four (2 adults and 2 kids ages 4 and 6) who were all famished after a long week. All for about $30. Got our food home and was not left disappointed or hungry. The paper take out bags that they came in had some heft and weight behind them and the portions are always generous, especially in the evening. We actually had leftovers to eat the next day! While I wouldn't go as far to say they are "the best" Italian sandwiches I've ever eaten, I will say without hesitation that they are the best in Milton. They are definitely a step up from a a comparable priced sit down chain restaurant like East Side Mario's or a Boston Pizza and are definitely better than any of the family feed bag pizza joints like pizza pizza or pizzaville. In fact, they are much better than most of these chain Italian Sandwich places like On A Bun and dare I say it, California Sandwiches, just because of the value and size of the portions. Most of all, what separates the Main Street Italian Eatery from its competition is the customer service and friendliness of the staff. Super nice and patient and people who genuinely care about their product and are proud of what they are serving. Overall, great bang for your buck and a hidden gem in the otherwise drab Milton take-out scene.

Locanda

We at Locanda believe an intimate atmosphere in the right location, personal and attentive service and great company are what separates a delicious dinner from an unforgettable experience.

Reviewed By Nana22princesses

Other family members had recommended this small restaurant for its food, service and ambiance. We had a reservation as we were advised that this was definitely required for Friday and Saturday evenings. We arrived and were immediately seated, however there were several “walk-ins” who were accommodated. The young man looking after our table of four was attentive and friendly. Drink orders were taken within 5 minutes of arrival and delivered soon after. Starters were delicious other than my husbands Caesar Salad which he found soggy. My sister in law ordered a pasta dish which was supposed to be processed by being tossed in a huge cheese wheel. We saw this being presented at other tables and she was very disappointed when her dish was “finished” several tables away. As it turned out, she returned the dish as it was lukewarm. The server offered to have it “reheated”. Unacceptable. She had a different dish made for her. The other 3 at our table ordered the special Veal Parmigiana. This was dry, almost paper thin and also lukewarm. Vegetables were merely blanched, I.e. raw! Best part of the meal was the Creme Brûlée. This is not a cheap restaurant by any means and I found it very average for food quality. If I didn’t have another gift certificate for this place, I doubt I would return. Hopefully, it will be better experience.

Our 3rd visit to this professional managed ristorante.Greeted by manager and given an excellent table positioned properly with a little one so as to give us a little extra room.Zoran introduced himself as our server and was very friendly with all and gave us the time we needed to settle in.Salad specials, Main courses fish and meats and pastas, we had quite a variety including grilled calamari to share, a good note that I had asked for 2-3 portions of the calamari but Zoran advised one portion was plenty, there is a professional (just guaranteed we will return) All items were prepared “exactly” as we requested including the food allergy requests and our little one’s request for just spaghetti with butter, oil and shrimps. An evening “well done” and thoroughly enjoyed.This ristorante is managed by a group of consistent professionals and allowed us to have a wonderful family evening.Thank you and “will return”!

Food tasted awful. They clearly don’t know how to make these dishes. The food seemed old too like not freshly made, to the point my stomach hurt me after, so definitely the food was old and gross. I’ve had these dishes before at other restaurants and know what they’re supposed to taste like. The manager tried to tell me that’s how it is. The food was very bad. I’m not going there ever again and telling all my friends not to go there!We want to sincerely apologize for your negative experience with us, however, we'd like to learn more about the situation.

Been coming to this restaurant for over 20 years and it is still fantastico ! EVEN BETTER ! Now they have delicious daily specials along with the wonderful menu..Every single item is perfect and we as a family wouldn't go anywhere else for our italian dinners . The prosciutto is home made.. the mussels fresh ..daily soup is hot and flavorful and my husband always wants to know how to make it .. Each dish is so good with just the right amount of ingredients.. Not too salty or oily.. The pasta is fresh and melts in your mouth.. The meats are fresh and flavorful...Mike the owner and chef is the most nicest person and comes out and greets his guests and is always making sure everyone is happy.. He has won many culinary competitions in Europe going against the best and he keeps winning ! The waiter and waitress are like family and so friendly.. They never mess up your orders and always make sure you are taken well care of.. When it comes to wanting to eat out for italian food or a special occasion like easter, mothers day or fathers day or new years etc. this restaurant is the best ! The prices are super reasonable and not over the top.. You really get quality for your money.. and leave very happy knowing you will be back soon
