    Very nice lunch. All of our dishes were nicely prepared and tasty. In particular, loved the focaccia, meatballs and gnocchi. Great service as well. Thank you Karolina and Fabrizio.

    The food was amazing! Fresh ingredients and flavors that tickled your senses. We tried a variety of dishes on the menu and it was all above expectation. The pizza was fantastic, pasta brimming with flavor and the calamari was crispy and perfectly fried. I will definitely come back and tell my friends about it. Really looking forward to what they do with the patio come summer time.

    We ordered fried calamari but could not eat it because it was extremely over salted. The pizza was good and the service was good. Overall it was a good experience.

    We didn’t know about this cozy little spot at the Italian Cultural Centre until we received a flyer in the mail. Apparently it’s been here for over 3 months. For years our family has enjoyed La Piazza Dario at the same location for all our special occasions but I can see Osteria al Centro becoming our favourite casual dining destination. The food is excellent and we really enjoyed the atmosphere. While we will always be loyal to Dario’s, Osteria offers much more informal dining and the cost is a fraction of the more formal dining room. We were very pleasantly surprised. Looking forward now to the summer months with the opening of their new outdoor patio!

    I am fussy about my arancini balls, and they were not my favourite tasting appetizer. The servers were amazing and offered me another appetizer in their place. Food 9.5/10, Service 10/10, Atmosphere 10/10. Great new location, with ample parking. You should try this restaurant. We will be returning.

    Our server provided helpful suggestions for choosing the appetizer we shared, and was knowledgeable about the menu items not familiar to us. .The food was well-presented ,fresh, of good quality , and delicious . There was nothing I could fault and I would definitely return. We tried the burrata appy, 3 different pastas and tiramisu.

    We had a nice experience here, the service is great, and the food is good too. We had a burrata salad, risotto and prosciutto pizza, we enjoyed the pizza the most. We would come again, especially for the pizza!
