Reviews
We started with the bruschetta and calamari, both incredibly fresh and flavorful. The tomatoes tasted like they were just picked, and the calamari was perfectly crisp without being greasy. For the main course, I had the seafood linguine, and it was divine — the pasta was cooked al dente, the sauce rich and balanced, and the seafood generous and tender. My partner ordered the veal parmigiana, which was equally outstanding, covered in a smooth, delicious marinara and melted cheese.
The service was flawless throughout the evening. Our server was attentive but never intrusive, offering excellent wine recommendations that paired beautifully with our meals. Even the timing of each course was perfect — everything arrived hot and fresh.
To finish, we shared a slice of tiramisu that was light, creamy, and the ideal sweet ending to a wonderful meal.
This restaurant truly delivers authentic Italian cuisine made with care and passion. It’s rare to find a place where food, service, and atmosphere all shine at such a high level. I’ll definitely be coming back and recommending it to all my friends. A true five-star experience!
The food was enjoyable overall, with generous portion sizes that definitely left us satisfied. The bruschetta stood out as a highlight; the bread was soft yet had a nice crisp to it, and the balance of flavours was well done. The sauce on the lasagna and manicotti, felt like it was missing a little something. It’s hard to pinpoint exactly what, but it could have used a touch more depth or seasoning to really bring it together. As a pasta lover, I found it both awesome and hilarious that one page of the menu said “Pasta” and the next said “More Pasta.” You can’t go wrong with that kind of enthusiasm.
Inside, the restaurant feels a bit dated, but there’s a warmth and coziness to the space that makes it a cute and comfortable spot for a relaxed family meal. It was quite busy during our visit, with a pleasant buzz throughout the evening, which is always a good sign. The tables are well spaced, so even with the crowd, it didn’t feel cramped or too noisy. There’s a private room off to the right when you enter; where a party was taking place. I loved that they had that separate space. Whatever was happening in there didn’t affect the vibe in the main dining area, which I really appreciated. It’s always a major plus when restaurants have a private room option for special gatherings.
Service was friendly and attentive, though it did feel a bit rushed at times. Our server was knowledgeable, offering thoughtful suggestions and checking in regularly, which we really appreciated.
The washroom was clean and easy to find.
Overall, Ennio’s offers a pleasant dining experience with hearty portions, a cozy atmosphere, and thoughtful touches that make it a good choice for a casual family dinner or a convenient meal close to the highway.
What did we try? To start we had the Pazzo Bread & Arancini, both were delicious. Our party of five tried pastas: Nonna’s Gnocchi, Annabella, Bettola, and Rustica; and the Risotto Alla Florentine. All were delicious. Portions were very large. The only personal complaint was for me, the dish was way too “saucy” … I was going to ask for less sauce (as I saw photos from other reviews) and forgot. Aside from that, we truly enjoyed our meal.
Great service, rustic Italian ambience, authentic Italian pastas.
Highly recommend!
The food was very good and made up for the slow service.
Overall we had a good time and will definitely try them again. Hopefully on a better day.
The atmosphere was warm and festive, making the celebration feel extra special. A special thank you to our amazing waiter, Erik — attentive, friendly, and genuinely caring, he made our evening unforgettable.
Highly recommended for both exceptional Italian food and outstanding service. We’ll definitely be back!
The place was really busy, but Haylea did an amazing job and even offered us extra bread. Great service overall. We’ll definitely be back!
