Reviews of Di Salvo's Bella Cucina and Di Salvo's Family Style Meals (Bakery)

Hayley Kent [Staff]

Family was excited to try a new Italian restaurant in town and we were pretty disappointed. Upon arrival, our reservations were not written down in the book although we called days before to book a table on the patio, however after a fuss, they got us a table. Salads was the appetizer and the lettuce was over dressed and the Parmesan crisp was stale. For mains, the short rib was tasty, but didn’t come out very hot- the dish was luke warm. The other guests ordered the pickerel and the presentation was disgusting and it tasted awful. The fish was rolled into a ball and had an extremely thick coating of breadcrumbs and there was no risotto on the plate which was drowned in cream sauce. Pretty disappointing as this is labelled as a fine dining Italian and is extremely overpriced for the quality of food.

A friend of ours recommended that we go to this restaurant for dinner. He also recommended that we order the wild boar. It is a very pretty restaurant, in a house setting, with outdoor patio seating. Our server was professional and attentive. The menu is extensive with a lot of interesting options. Prices are fair to the quality of the food. We ordered the Frito Misto and it was perfectly prepared: lightly batter, crispy, juicy and tasty. The arugula and fig salad was delicious and such a good combination of flavors. The eggplant Parmesan appetizer was so good: crispy yet juicy, and not greasy. The tomato sauce that came with it was different: fresh and crunchy. However the pièce de rèsistance was the wild boar: so tender and juicy, with a mild gamey flavor that came together with the light sweetness of the poached pear and of all the other ingredients that completed the supreme flavor. For dessert we ordered Panna Cotta: so well made and beautifully decorated. It is honestly one of the best meals from beginning to end that we have had in a long time. Can’t wait to eat here again!!!!! SIDENOTE: the only thing that could improve is the bread.

This is one of the best restaurants. Excellent food and service! I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a quality experience.

Syl Corsini

My wife and I along with my daughter and two children stopped in on a rainy afternoon. The restaurant is so lovely and well appointed from the white linen table cloth and comfortable leather dining chairs to the art work on the walls. We had the pleasure of being greeted and served by Jane who introduced herself as one of the owners. The menu at lunch was extensive with a wide range of selections for both appetizers and main course dishes; each of which we ordered was both delicious and plentiful. The house wine was fantastic and very reasonably priced. Our main courses of tagliatelle and pizza were each outstanding as was the dessert. Thank you for a wonderful dining experience, we look forward to visiting again real soon!

Katie Nebs

We ordered the 3 piece battered pickerel dinner and the veal on a bun. So delicious! Cant wait to try it again.

Melissa Hayhurst

The food is delicious! Portion sizes are perfect, and atmosphere of the resturant is so nice and clean. Thank you Bella Cucina’s for going above and beyond and helping our community during Covid with the local meal donations. This resturant is great addition to Parry Sound.

Joy Bridle

Amazing Meals ! This is a must try ! They adapted to this crazy time !! Huge support to our community, thank you for all your kindness and amazing meals ???? This is actually Joy Bridle

Candace Seibert

Absolutely amazing food! everything is so delicious you will keep coming back to try more or if you are like my husband and I just order enough for an army! So glad our community has this restaurant.

Judy Christenson

Di Salvo's Bella Cucina are doing their part to make quarantine time bearable! What a great idea to offer family style take out meals, so fresh, so delicious and nutritious too! Next best thing to dining out in style at Bella Cucina is their 'staying at home' family meals!

Linda Munroe

Really enjoyed their new Fish & Chips, highly recommend you enjoy one of their family meals

Kirsten Baker

We have not only thoroughly enjoyed the delicious food at Di Salvo's but their community mindset as well! They have been supporting Harvest Share and many other community organizations since opening last year. Jane and Carlo are always a pleasure to deal with. The freshly made pasta is to DIE for! Always large portions and enough to feed a crowd with their family meals. We order two family meals each week-one to eat that night and one to freeze for another night. Left overs become a hardy lunch throughout the week. We look forward to continuing to support this great business!

Doug Beville

Excellent menu and every dish was great. Well served, nice dinner. Dont miss this place.

Bita Soroosh

With no doubt, one of the best Italian restaurants. The food and dessert are amazingly delicious. The service is the best. It is a small restaurant but cozy and welcoming. Definitely worth Traveling to the city just to try Bella Cucina.

Sherri Hunt

Chef Carlo and Jane are truly amazing people . They give so generous to the community. They serve authentic and contemporary Italian Cuisine , with amazing flavour . The portion sizes are extremely generous and during COVID-19 all food was served piping hot either take out or delivery. Highly recommend.

Anita Savoie

Really a good restaurant, you want a great night with a Ihigh end service or just get out to have a snack this restaurant offer both. I went in the snack side and it was really good. Big portion for the price.

Lori

Enjoyed our evening, atmosphere and service. Great pasta dishes! Gorgonzola Gnocchis was delicious! Calamari delightfully! Service wonderful!

James Lapointe

We are so glad to have great Italian restaurant finally in our area. Congrat's on a successful year and we look forward to enjoying it for many more!

Jennifer Riddell-Metzler

Great portion and value! Got Linguini and 2 salads and garlic bread. Fed 8 of us and had left over for next day too. Delicious!!

Pia ,Forder

It was our first time ordering on Mother's day. We had the battered fish and chips, with tiramisu for dessert. The entire family loved the meal and we would definitely do it again. Looking forward to try something different.

Danny Carson

I have been craving the food here since my last visit. I had the Marmalade Pickerel with the risotto. this time and it was on point. Exquisite tastes and plentiful portions. Also my wife and I love the atmosphere and decor. Will definitely be back.

jojo

really mid also expensive for no reason

David Johnston

We ordered take out via their food truck and it was fantastic. The family size fettucini was absolutely amazing and it was large enough to feed a small army so bring your appetite. Their fish and chips were also very good. The batter was light and not that oily which was great.

Envirotech Mechanical

First time here, the antipasto pan seared scallops was great, we ordered the risotto- bad choice the rice clumpy and overcooked with way too much sweet tasting dish. Service was great, pricing a little high for the dishes served, ambiance is casual music could be Italian and not elevator boring music. Overall not bad but not a 5 star.

Bobbi Verstraten

Great service! Love their family meals...the pasta meals fed two adults, one male teen, two tweens WITH leftovers! Thank you Bella Cucina!

Vince Moxness

Excellent food. Excellent service. Very cozy atmosphere. I will definitely return with friends. What a great addition to Parry Sound.

Anson Camick

I consider myself lucky any time I'm able to stop in for a taste of Chef Carlo Di Salvo's cooking! What an amazing dining experience!

Sarah Anderson

Was at this restaurant in the summer and enjoyed a delicious meal prepared by the chef who is one of the owners, and received excellent service by the other owner who was taking care of my table. An absolute gem of a place in Parry Sound! If you live there you have to try it, and if you’re just passing through it’s worth the time to make a reservation and try it out!

Nick Ryeland

Excellent meals, huge menu (see photos), fantastic, friendly and attentive service, couldn't be beat, my meal of Jaeger Schnitzel was very savoury and tasty. Meal was served promptly. Bottomless Decaf Coffee was excellent. My dinner was inexpensive at $22 including non alcoholic drink, coffees and meal. My only regrets were that my meal was not hot, and elevator music was annoying. Nevertheless I was suitably impressed and I will be back, with friends. I was impressed with the fine dining menu too. Well done Di Salvo's.

Chris Todd

My parents brought home some delicious fish and chips last night! Delicious!! :)

Brian

I went there last week with my family for dinner and we had aranchini and shrimp which was absolutely delicious. And we also had fig and arugula and it was fantastic. Our server was really sweet and made some good recommendations. I had the pesto pescatore and you can definitely tell the pasta and the sauce was homemade. The seafood was also very fresh. It was a great experience and I will definitely be coming back.

Kimberley Charles

I have not had the opportunity to eat here yet BUT i want to so badly. I know Jane from a previous eatery....and the food was amazing there and i can only imagine how good the food is at their own place, where they control and design the menu....cant wait to get the chance to enjoy the food

Amy T

Had the mac and cheese family meal tonight. It was amazing!!! Fed my family of six for $9 per person with leftovers!!

Amanda Mathieu

This is the best Italian food I have ever had! The lasagna has been my favorite so far, but I am excited to try the entire menu!

Celine Cascanette

Enjoyable service, atmosphere, and food. We sat on the porch. I ordered the salmon and it was excellent! Thanks :)

Denise Leclair

We had a great experience and excellent service . Dinner was awesome , except risotto was a bit salty,,, overall nice date night out in parry sound

Tracey B

They make the best lasagna I have ever had in my life. The beet salad was delicious and the Italian banana split was to die for. Overall, it was the best meal out that I've ever had. If I could give more stars, I absolutely would have. Large portions also...like I had lasagna dinner the following night kind of large...and it was still fantastically good! Staff was super nice and attentive too. You won't regret dining here!!

Miguel Mendez

A great addition to the waterfront. My wife and I were heading through Perry sound and wanted to pit stop at a nice restaurant. This place definately delivered. I was suprised at the attention to details as each dish had alot of depth of flavour. We had the fig salad, pesto pescatore, and limoncello pickerel.

Ann McMahon

My friend keeps showing me pictures of his delicious dinners he's gotten here. We dont go out to eat much but I'm definetly going here soon!

Penelope Pomes

Best Italian Food in Parry Sound. If you're craving home style Italian, this is the place to go.

pcbs11

Delicious food! First time dining in last summer. The gnocchi was great. Also just had the pickerel and fries on Friday. Highly recommended!!

Ludmila Domakhina

I’ve read reviews of all Parry Sound restaurants and this one seemed to be the best. Prices looked higher than average but given good reviews and nicely looking Italian food, we have decided to stay here for a diner. Unfortunately the food which cost 180$ (family with 3 kids) was far below expectations. -too much tomato sauce, waaay to much -meatballs were ordinary -Caesar salad ordinary -Special beetroot salad - good, but such a small portion for 14$ :( Waiting time. We spent 2 hours in total. Even though we didn’t order anything special. And by the way, neighbor table waited 15+ minutes just to pay check. They didn’t bring water until they brought main dish (even after the salads). On a positive note: -desserts were delicious: tiramisu and chocolate soufflé (but waited 20+ minutes for both, though they promise to bring tiramisu right away, they didn’t) Overall - it’s not worth it. We’ve been to better Italian restaurants in Canada

weber luo

Had my son's birthday party there in Thanksgiving Day weekend. Excellent service and menu full of deliciouse selections, perfect presentation and jumbo dishes, best value and a great night.

Kevin and Wendy Baker

One of our favourite places to take our English relatives when they visit from over the pond in the summer...during covid they have served both my wife and I as well as the community helping all get through!!! Well Done!!!...p.s. You gotta try the fried chicken!!!!!

alina kalashnik

I went here with my family and my friends. The food was amazing, everyone at the table loved it. My food was great but there was a lot and I couldn't finish it. The decor was nice and the service was really good. Thank you for the great experience!

Linda Sullivan

Hubby and I went for the first time earlier this evening and we will not go back. My Frutti Di Mare should have been good, but the spaghetti was overcooked and clumpy. Meals are pricey for what you get, and other area restaurants offer similar dishes of better quality and price. I also ordered a desert to take away. It came in a chip-stand style container that began to sag before I got to the car. Finally, if paying over $100 for dinner, I would expect the server to graciously pack up my leftovers for take away and not hand me the chip-stand style container for me to do it myself.

Diana Scanlon

Super friendly and good food. We are here during covid so they have special family meals to take out.

jackeline Varela

Great dinning experience with my husband! Carlo and Jane are absolutely wonderful and heart warming. The food is delicious. Service is on point!

Richard Virtue

The roast boar was excellent. Thank you, Chef Carlo. Major endurance will be needed to maintain that standard for lunch and dinner seven days a week! Also, what a welcome experience in other ways! What made my evening at the new restaurant most enjoyable was the behaviour of both guests and serving staff. The latter were attentive, quiet (mostly), unobtrusive and appropriately friendly without being obnoxiously over-familiar. Most remarkable was the normal conversational level of table discussions amongst fellow guests. I’m not sure if it’s the new décor or the soothing music in the background (i.e., at proper background level), but the few guests who were somewhat loud upon entry soon dropped their voices suitable to private conversations at their own tables. It was one of very few times that I’ve actually enjoyed a relaxing civilized dining environment in this Parry Sound area in the many years since my retirement here. Unfortunately, the crowding and extreme noise levels at other local dining locations, including the former Bistro especially during the summer tourist season, detracted badly from one's appreciation and enjoyment of the chef's culinary skills. A truly amazing transformation. I sure hope it continues.

Louise Nicksy

Amazing pasta dishes and pizza. Especially love chicken rigatoni al forno. Yummy!

Alex Mock

The food here is amazing, and they are always willing to make substitutions to accommodate different diets. I am a vegetarian and I’ve always been able to take meat off of a dish. The service is good, but could use a little bit more training for smaller things. The best dish there is definitely either the arancini or the gnocchi. This restaurant was well needed in town and I will definitely keep stopping in!

Maryse Lepage

Lots of potential for this place but too much is missing the mark for 4 stars, especially for fine dining. Might be a better experience for their family style dining. Caprese salad at $14 consists of a few very thin tomato slices, a couple of small pieces of cheese and lots of balsamic vinegar. Beet salad is interesting but again, paper thin slices of beets and underwhelming at $14. Bread was delicious but no offer for refill. Gnocchi was good. Excellent wine list. Breaded, deep fried pickerel ball overwhelms the delicate taste of the fish, and the side of risotto didn't taste like much. Service was slow, one server was working hard, others not seemingly paying much attention. Nobody offered water, or refilled our wine. Maybe the place is too big and diversified for what they can handle.

Jamie Thomson

Amazing sit down fine dining. There is two sides to the restaurant, one side is more casual and would be great for a family night out where the other is fancier and perfect for date night Great experience. Staff were friendly and welcoming. Covid protocols were followed to a tee. We went for our honeymoon dinner and everyone was so excited for us. Portions were huge. You definitely get what you are paying for. We will definitely return the next time we are in town.

Natasha Syed

I ordered fish & chips from the Bella Cucia food truck, and while the fish was very fresh and yummy, fries were delicious as well, the service was horrible. The young gentleman who prepared my food was very rude and uninterested, and his butt crack was out and about. He touched the food without a glove on (didn’t wash his hands after touching something in the front of the truck). Lastly I requested to have lemons put in a different bag than the coleslaw containers and the reply was “I can” but was never done.

Jonathan Ryeland

Our family has ordered take out a couple of times and the experience has been wonderful. The food is delicious, plentiful and affordable.

Jordan McC

Awful food worse experience! I had taken my wife here before when the location was down by the water. It was always a great experience. We had not been on a date in over a year and we couldn't wait! Yesterday we returned- Firstly they do not remind you when booking that they have changed locations. The new restaurant is fine dining / family dining which is the dumbest concept I have ever heard of. It's a total s**t show. We showed up and aimlessly walked around trying to figure out how to be seated. We finally just interrupted someone eating to asked. We booked an outdoor table which of course was not available so a metal patio table was put in-between two families enjoying chicken fingers and pizza? Nice fine dinning experience eh! It took 20 mins before our waitress acknowledged our existence. We immediately ordered everything knowing everyone around us was waiting for their food. After another 25mins and the table beside us singing happy birthday to there kid (great fine dinning experience!) our order started arriving - my meal Short ribs had to be the worse meal I ever ate no exaggeration. I have never eaten anything so salty. It's shameful that owners of this company allow so many patrons when they do not have the staff to handle it. I would suggest Maurizo...

Bill Heitman

Take out only right now with great food at a reasonable price.

Bailey Rochon

Food is excellent and made fresh. Worth the wait if you want authentic Italian/comfort food.

Reese Vincent

We finally went to check out the new Italian place in town. My husband and I were so excited. I really wanted to give a really good review but I think I had really high expectations for this place because I was kind of disappointed! When we arrived we didn't have a reservation and were very greatful about being accommodated for that and still able to get a seat. They do have a good cappuccino but extremely pricey. Everything I found was overpriced, I do understand they made everything in house for the pastas but so does other places and I have never paid that amount for dinner. Everything came out cold, I did like my entree (minus it not being hot) but my husband got the gnocchi and it was like a gnocchi cold soup... could have used 1/4 of the sauce. For the price of the of that gnocchi and the portion you get, was not worth it in my opinion. We also didn't get checked up on during our dinner to see if everything was ok to even try and return our cold food. I get it's a new place but for the price you pay, you should have amazing service and hot food! There was some good but unfortunately not enough to go back.

Gerald Day

The food was delicious. The beet salad was one of the best I’ve had. Don’t worry about going hungry, the portions are very generous. If you only have one night in Parry Sound, this is the place to go.

Sled Ted

Last 2 times the pickerel was overdone, fries were cooked in garbage oil and the caesar salad had old romaine.

B W

We treated my wife for Mother's Day! Everyone agreed that the chicken pot pie was a perfect family meal! Delicious! The best we ever had!

Nic M

This place is delicious, highly recommend! Came here with five of us and everything we tried was spot-on (and this is coming from an Italian person in our group). The escargots came in a delicious sauce, the beet salad was excellent, the scallops were tasty. The group consensus was our favourite main dishes were the tagliatelle ragout and seafood pesto. And for desserts we loved the panna cotta and pear crostata the best (but the tiramisu and Italian banana split were very tasty as well). All the staff were very friendly and it was great talking with the owner, Jane. Definitely check this place out if you're in the area!

Pavel Grinshtein

Actually a very pleasant place with a good service, music, service, and wine list. The servings sizes and appearances are very good as well. The food taste though is very disappointing. The meats, sea food, and even pasta are clearly precooked and warmed up on demand while mixed with the sauce. As a result, the dishes are fairly tasteless. For the money charged, it is not worth it unless you come for a wine and pleasant vibe.

Shelley Duncan

We ordered from this restaurant for the first time tonight.The Bruschetta was delicious and the beef short rib saltimbocca just fell apart when you touched it with a fork. The chicken Marsala was cooked to perfection. There was a little wait for the food but it was well worth it. The portions were large and everything was scrumptious. They have take out only at this time but we took it home and had date night during COVID. We will definitely be back again to try the other menu items.

Barb Anderson

Great food, awesome friendly service. Food is always ready on time and your order is correct.

Andrew Sembay

Food was great! Friendly staff.

Mike Dutton

I like to stop at Parry Sound for dinner and a break on the Toronto-Sudbury drive. Last night I tried Bella Cucina for the first time. It's new since May. I always try to have fish in PS, so I tried the pickerel Limoncello, which was great. Breaded pickerel, risotto, asparagus and zucchini perfectly done, nice presentation. The limoncello touch was a kind of lemon chutney I'd call it. Sweet and sour is the way I'd describe it. Nice touch for my palate. Challenging almost. Had a Peroni and an espresso. Cozy dining room. Nice music. Back on the road satisfied.

John Byrne

My family had the 14 piece fish and chips last night and I was gobsmacked by it’s quality and value. The fish was succulent and the batter was light and crispy! We already love Disalvo’s but this family meal is off the hook!

Paul D Kingshott

Excellent food, the best I've had in along time , very large portions a small will feed 3-4 people

lisa turriff

Have enjoyed many delicious meals. Such a great addition to our community!

why_is_my_jeep _broken

Always a pleasure. Great staff great food!

Eugene Hiloff

The menu is Italian, but that's about it... starting from bread and finishing with main dish (chicken parmigiano) everything was disappointing. Pasta was soggy and just swimming in tomato sauce (sauce just way overpowered with basil and thyme, like way too much!!), I was struggling finding some chicken under layers of "famous" sauce and cheap cheese, once found the chicken was unrecognizable (just falling apart, disintegrating from a little touch, felt like it was in pressure cooker for days...), no texture or taste to the meat at all. Would never come back there, and I hope they either change the ownership/chef or the menu, at this point it's just an insult to italian cuisine. I'm surprised I'm actually saying it, but you might be better of ordering some pasta at boston pizza nearby... )) I leave 2 star for the waitress, very nice and professional service. Thank you.

Angie Mullen

Amazing food, friendly atmosphere, and offer gluten free options. Awesome!!

Lynn and Bill Martin

Awesome food! Love the lasagne. Jane and Carlo are generous donors to Parry Sound Harvest Share food bank so that even the less fortunate in our community can enjoy really delicious, best quality Italian food.

Kirby Freeman

Fantastic food and cozy atmosphere. Great spot in a town with few quality restaurants. We were the only customers on a winter night and our server made us feel very comfortable. Will definitely be returning soon.

Richard Mauran

waited one hour for food and people got served before us

Uschi Kienbacher

Such a lovely place to enjoy dining on that special occasion. The food is superb and nearly to good to eat when u see how decorative it looks! Went there for a special birthday and what a dessert he made. Don’t miss my bella Italia yet!! Looking forward to when it fully opens again after this weird virus crisis. Stay safe.

Jen Peters

Amazing food, always friendly service! Looking forward to trying the new additions to the menu!

Lorraine Frias

Absolutely loved Di Salvo’s Bella Cucina. Great selection, and fresh ingredients. Highly recommended. Great atmosphere and amazing service. When the food came out, the presentation was great and the food was delicious! Thank you!

Alison Gardner

We had take out from here and it was delicious. The Lasagna and the Shepherds pie were both amazing

Marge Hazzard

We have had numerous takeout orders in the past few months and would definitely recommend to give them a try you won't be disappointed everything is absolutely delicious.

Edie Karvonen

Good food and great service. The family meal is large enough that you leftovers for the next day or can freeze and reheat for dinner another night.

Eilleen McCaffrey

I’ve heard a lot of great things about the quality and deliciousness of the food at this place and I can’t wait to try it!

Lori Cormier

They saw a need during the tough times of COVID 19 and stepped up to the “plate”! Family combo meals were created with great value, and amazing taste! For all of our social distance deck dates, Di Salvos has now become part of the family. Thank you for being a wonderful part of our community and helping so many!

S Hazzard

Highly recommend this great restaurant. Always fantastic food, great portions and extremely consistant.

Elaine Pelleboer

Our family of 5 got their family meal deal of two Canadian pizzas and salad, and there was so much food we coulndt finish it all. Everyone loved it, best pizza in town.

Cristina Nera

Ordered an appetizer and pasta for take out today. Time for pick up given 8:15 pm. Waited for 45 mins (8:56 pm) to finally get what I ordered. So hungry and disappointed. Will never order from them again.

Sandra A

Ordered the take out fish and chips last week - delicious, great sized portion and a great price!

Marcel Pippel

Really good food, nicely served and though we came in pretty late they were happy to serve us. I can't imagine people giving bad reviews. Salmon was really soft and had a very good taste. The Gnocchi with gorgonzola was also very nice. Not a bad word about Di Salvo's Bella Cucina.

Nancy Mckibbon

Chef Carlo and Jane .Thankyou for making some smaller meals. Food is great....or I wouldn"t keep ordering! CONGRATULATIONS on your 1 year anniversary I am waiting for you to reopen,,,,so I can order the Beet salad...yes..I'm still thinking of this. Thankyou

Carol Poole

I ordered take out and the process was smooth. The family meals are generous portions and a great idea for busy families. What a great service to offer during this challenging time. Thank you!

Izabela k

For sure never come back. We had a high expectation and we love Italian food. I used to live in Italy and for sure this is not gourmet food. Before I saw only good reviews so because of that me and my husband went there. Then one bad review appeared and owner replied in very bad manner, he was really mean and rude...now he deleted this comment but he said that this was not a palate for the people and should go to the Macdonald...after that a lot of bad reviews came up and I decided to write mine too....as happen to everyone food came cold...I was told that they do not have microwave to heat it up and would try to do something...people on the other tables were also disappointed. We heard how they were complaining. Food is just not tasty...in Toronto spending 120$ I can have amazing, delicious, high quality of food....to the owner, probably you are the cook and cannot handle bad reviews, maybe it is time to understand that you serve overpriced food which doesn't meet any quality standards? Never ever come back!!!!

Roman and Mary Szymczak

An unexpected treasure in Parry Sound, cosey and friendly. Food is incredible and all made on house by a master of the kitchen. You will not be disappointed nor hungry when you leave.

Barrie McAndrews

Great food and friendly staff

Steven Gregory

We had the family chicken cacciatore and it was massive and quite good.

Lori Ewart

Great food! Love how you gave back to community thru COVID-19

Jessica Spanevello

Me and my partner came here because we love Italian food and we decided to come for a long weekend to visit Parry Sound. We checked the reviews which were high. My partner order pickerel fish and I ordered duck. We were waiting 30 min for our dishes. Women who were sitting next to us returned the food, what I heard it was cold. I'm from the country where duck is one of the famous dish to eat. What I can say is that when I was served the food which was completely cold. I requested server to re-heat the food. A little of the duck and roasted potatoes were burned, which pictures shows...and there were no seasonal vegetables at all, maybe one italian celery....my dish wasn't tasty at all and gravy was too heavy. I will be honest and I have never eaten so bad food ... it is so hard to make duck not tasty at all. My food costs 36$ which was definitely overpriced comparing to the quality. My partner's food was quite ok but Marmellata di Limoni doesn't go with this fish and cost 32$....presentation of these dishes were amazing and taste just terrible...literally I have had heartburn and needed go to shoppers to buy a medicine...I am really upset because we really enjoy eating nice food and this wasn't worth this money. We ordered 3 drinks and we were scared to order some dessert...so we skip it. Answer for the owner: Plates were not wiped...my partner left a lot of sauce, veggies and marmellata which wasn't tasty....For sure we will never come back here after this owner's answer and I won't recommend this place to anyone. For sure what you serve are not gourmet Italian food. What about these two woman who also returned the food? Do you have an answer? And I dont see any bad reviews in my account, I recommended places which are worth not this "restaurant". Btw stop using plastic straws as well and think about environment I feel calling your restaurant authentic Italian is a joke . You are in the service industry rather than being humble and taking feedback from your clients you mock the feedback given to you . It won't be long that your restraunt will be shut down if you don't change that attitude . Secondly I feel instead of having an Italian fine dining restaurant you are better of opening a McDonalds. At least in that way they will make sure that your quality isn't pathetic and the food is warm for a change. I found it's very funny that owner deleted his comment....he abused his clients and after my comment a lot of people had this same experience like me and put bad review too. Maybe finally he realized that his restaurant is worse than McDonald's where he sent me...

Les Howell

Excellent food. great service. Thank you.

Heather Heitman-Hintze

Incredible food and wonderful people! Thanks for moving to Parry Sound and giving us such an incredible dining options!

Sherry Quinn

Most delicious food in town!!! Expect to take some home because you get a big serving! But nothing wrong with having a snack for later.

Kim Schneider

Awesome restaurant! Geat food! Owners are very kind and supportive of their community

Ryan W

Went here for dinner on a friday night. Had to phone 3 times to get a reservation because no one answered when I called. When we arrived, the dinning room was only about half full on a friday night. I suspect this is because people are avoiding the restaurant because of some comments the owner made on social media. That's a mistake on their part, because they are missing out on easily the best food in parry sound. I grew up in an Italian neighbourhood, and this was the taste of home i'd been wanting. "Beet salad" doesnt sound like the best thing, but trust me, it's amazing. The goat's cheese complements it perfectly, I ate the whole thing without stopping to talk at all. Then I had the veal and risotto, which was fork-cut tender in a sauce that had a smooth, berry taste, balanced perfectly by the saltier risotto. I ordered a glass of house white, which to be honest, tasted a bit like olive oil, and the kenny g muzak playing in the background made me feel a bit like I was in an elevator somewhere, but none of those complaints matter in light of what was honestly the best restaurant meal I have had in years.

Michele Bondi

Had a few dinners well in lock down. The service that Di Salvo's is supplying is greatly appreciated...Thank you The food was very good, seasoned perfectly, and was always hot on delivery. The service is always friendly, helpful and patient with a old gal like myself. lol Thank you Differently worth the Drive to Parry Sound !!!!

Brittany Marshall

We got the pickerel special with the pickup option during the pandemic. So delicious and the staff were so friendly! Will definitely be ordering from them again :)

Connie Quinton

Di Salvo's Bella Cucina made my Mother's Day dinner and it was amazing!!! They were very busy that night but stayed so organized calling out names as meals came up. Even with the current challenges they rocked it. Highly recommend the fried chicken. This will now be one of our regular spots. Nicole Quinton

Cheryl Ward

Had another fantastic take out dinner last night from Di Salvos. The Chicken Rigatoni was excellent. Great food and great service. Thanks for great meal!

Cameron Hancock

The menu was interesting but the execution wasn't quite up to the standard they set last summer. Covid likely playing a role, but our table was a little underwhelmed. We will be back to try again as last year was wonderful.

Milan Macesic

If you want good Italian food this is the place. A bit pricey but if you want good home style food you will find it there.

We had a large group and they were very accommodating. Everyone's food came together and the meals were all amazing. Their take on escargot is delicious and the boar and all pasta's were so full of flavour and delicious. Great Job!

Cam Spear

Great food. Portions should be larger.

Shelley Ann Arnold

Food is amazing!! Will order again and recommend Di Salvo's Bella Cucina!!

Andrew Morrison

Delicious food...I was not expecting it to be so good! We ordered their fine dining meals to go and were suprised as how well they travelled. The short rib and boar dishes were absolutely wonderful. We are happy to have found another great restaurant in muskoka that is open year round. The only other restaurant that would be competition is Crossroads all the way in Rosseau.

We were stuck in 14 day quarentine time (after travel) and were unable to leave for food. We were so happy to have an amazing meal delivered (even though we live out of town) by Di Salvo’s Bella Cucina in Parry Sound. I really appreciated the break from cooking. The meal was delicious and went way beyond our expectations. The Lasagna is amazing.

My husband and I just ordered the family deal chicken pot pie. Everything was so amazing, and for the price I will definitely be ordering again! Great, homemade, fresh food.

Food was just OK. Definitely not fine dining! I made a reservation but they weren't prepared for us. They were not busy at all. Then the bill wasn't split the way we had asked it to be, also in advance. Not impressed!!

Becky Moore

Amazing pineapple pizza. Best I’ve had in a long time. Will definitely be a repeat customer.

Karen Wattman

Due to Covid, our experience this time was takeout but the food was delicious and prepared perfectly. We had the small order of penne with sausage and it was enough for two meals.. very generous portions and lots of the good stuff! I have been there in pre pandemic days and though we just had appetizers, they were excellent as well. Can't wait to return.

Krista Cascanette

Food is usually pretty good and reasonably priced. Although had a couple occasions where things were burnt.

Sherri Morris

Some of the best pasta and garlic bread I have had! Definitely will be ordering from there again!

Reza Tehrani

It’s a very cozy place with a really good menu & great service. The seared scallops and escargot were excellent. Our mains were good too but the appetizers were 2 thumbs up. Highly recommended

Since we had a great experience at this restaurant two years ago, I was looking forward to trying their new location. But this time we did not enjoy it. We ordered the Caprese salad and it was swimming in a balsamic glaze that was way too sweet. The same sweet glaze was provided to dip your bread. I had the pickerel which was good but it came with a very think risotto that didn’t have any flavour and the vegetables consisted of a couple pieces of cauliflower. My friend ordered the seafood pasta and said it was terrible and had a heavy tomato sauce that tasted like tomato paste. The service also needs improvement. Although the restaurant was not busy, we were not given any water, and had to ask for bread (twice), pepper and parmesan cheese. Not a big deal but at the prices they are charging you should not have to ask.

Amazing restaurant! soothing comfortable atmosphere, friendly prompt service and Italian food that makes you forget you’re in Parry Sound. Some of the best fine Italian food I’ve ever eaten hands down!

Tammi Turgeon

Always amazing food. Their family meals have more then enough for 4 adults ( we consistently get 2 meals out of them. Wonderful community spirit sending family meals to harvest share. 100% recommend

Aisha First

Amazing food! Ate at the food truck with my husband and it was absolutely delicious! Definitely recommend for a date night or grab something from their food truck and sit by the water!

Great staff, meals and value plus their anniversary is our wedding anniversary!

Vicki Christie

We have had the homemade pizza and salad. So good! The homemade desserts are awesome too. We also love how they give back to their community!

Linda Spenceley

We have were guests on day one, and have eaten there many times since, whatever we ordered has been excellent, we hope they will be serving their tasty cuisine for many years to come. Thank you for finding a way for us to carry on enjoying your service.

Corinne Gregory

I was there at Christmas time with my boss and coworkers it was amazing. The presentation was spot on and all the food was delicious will definitely go back great addition to the Parry Sound food scene

Peggy Todd

Excellent service and great food. Thanks for making meal time a little bit easier during these times.

Bre Brownley

I've ordered from here a few times and a few meals and desserts. Wow is it ever amazing and the serving portions always have leftovers. Mmmmmm a pregnant woman dream lol

Jared Vaughan

Called and made sure they could seat us. 2 hours before closing. They confirmed they were open for 2 more hours. We showed up at 8pm to eat for 3 people. Approximately 5 minutes after making the phone call. Just to be told they had no food and wouldn’t be able to serve us. In conclusion, 2 hours before closing they ran out of food and told us to come even though they couldn’t serve us. Avoid at all costs.

Jane Croswell

Due to the Covid 19 lockdown, they have changed to take-out only. The meals are delicious - best Canadian pizza I've ever tasted, and the Chicken Rigatoni al Forno was delish. Can't wait to try the fish & chips.

Sean Heimes

Food has been fantastic. We’ve ordered every Friday as a treat to the family for getting through another week during this pandemic

Terry-Lynn Stevens

I have never had anything but great food and great service here. Enjoyed a great birthday meal here just prior to the pandemic and then have had weekly take out family size meals during isolation! A kind and community minded business always giving back to the community during times of need as well! Nothing but 5 stars for this business.

Ryan Ravenhill

Great food, but you guys have lost our business 2 nights in a row now because of your phones. Cant get ahold of anyone to order With such great food it's a shame, may want to figure something more professional out.

Annette Lyons

Delicious meals made fresh daily! A highlight of our week! You wouldn't regret ordering from this restaurant ????

Stephen Spenceley

Outstanding fine dining experience, slowly working through the menu. 7 dishes tried and 7 top hits. This is the best places to eat in the area, including Muskoka! Wonderful flavors and presentation..
