About this restaurant

Neighbourhood gem
Good for special occasions
Good for business meals

Active and bustling, in the "Trattoria Style", this Woodbury location of Butera's offers quality food at a great value. Known for their generous portions of pasta entrees, grilled fare, and fresh fish, Butera's has established a fine reputation as a neighborhood place where guests often see people they know.

It is owned and operated by Martin Butera, his wife Laurie, Martin's brother Gary Butera, and partner and chef Nick Zografos. The large open room is tastefully decorated with a traditional and contemporary mix, with rich dark woodwork and stone treatments, granite table tops, a wood and granite bar, fieldstone and hardwood floors, stone fireplace, exposed wine racks and a Tiffany style fixture at the entrance. Fresh flowers complete the handsome decor.

In addition to their extensive menu you can select from the creative specials like Grilled Filet of Halibut with Prince Edward Island Mussels on a citrus rosemary butternut squash risotto.

We enjoyed the Thai calamari as an appetizer. It was a large portion and 2 of us couldn’t finish it. Their bread and garlic knots were delicious. One of their recommended dishes is chicken scarpariello which uses chicken meatballs instead of pieces of chicken. It was very different but delicious also and a large portion. The pistachio crusted salmon was also very good. One of the owners will check in on you to make sure everything is satisfactory which is a nice touch.

The staff were friendly and accommodating. The bread to start was nice and warm. The remainder of the dinner was a hit or miss depending on the item. The fried mozzarella was great, the pizza could have been more crispy, and the pasta was average (mainly because of the sauce which was bland, the pasta itself was cooked perfectly). Overall a pleasant experience.
