Reviews of Ristorante Pizzeria Italia (Restaurant)

Dealing With Delta

Everything we ordered was excellent. The star was the Pescatore. Seriously order it! Some had greek salad, some had ceaser, both were great but one had their cream of cauliflower soup with dill and it was rich and creamy. Highly recommended.

Made a quick stop during our cross-Canada move ... if I lived in the area, I'd be there once a week! Nice size portion of pasta - tasty sauce ... eat here!

Mina Eskarous

The pizza is great, I ordered large pizza presuming that the size isn’t that big, but it was really good size and cheesy. Shall give it a try, it worth, a bit pricy tho.

RH House

Good food. Pleasant service but had to ask for water refills. Seafood di mare was excellent with generous portions of scallops and shrimp. Pasta and sauce was very delish.

D Kristjansson

Looks and smells wonderful when you walk in. Service is prompt and helpful. Caesar salad is pretty tasteless with tons of parmesan that is also tasteless and plasticy. Fettuccine Alfredo was okay, a little overcooked and also not alot of flavour. Chicken was very good. My hubby had ravioli and it had a very strange smoky flavour, almost inedible. Chicken also very good that was added. Service was great and very fast. Not sure if it's worth it to come back.

Alexis Chacon

I have the veal primavera and it was delicious.

Cliff Prystie

Besides the great atmosphere and the menu items, the food is tasty and delicious...

Don Vanasse

Good food, nice atmosphere and good service.

Dean Hintz

Not sure about the rest of the menu but the pizza was soggy, plain, undercooked crust, rawish veg. Maybe mall level pizza.

(Translated) a lovely quiet restaurant where you can eat well. The kitchen is simply wonderful. (Original) un delizioso ristorante tranquillo dove si può mangiare bene. La cucina è semplicemente meravigliosa.

Great buffet on Thursdays (and Fridays) with lots of pasta, pizza, chicken and meatballs. Good price. The food was hot and constantly replenished.

Cathy Onion

We stumbled onto this place while driving around Kenora. We went in Service was amazing friendly and well informed attentive to her customers. Food was AMAZING DELICIOUS and GREAT PORTIONS. INFORMED THAT THURS and FRIDAYS all you can eat Lunch buffett. Check this place out.

Delicious!

This place is always fantastic and the food has been sublime for years, and still probably is I reckon. But... man I'll tell ya, when they updated it and renovated it lost all its vibe for me. They should have left it the way it was, would have retained that older traditional relaxing coziness. The menus have pictures on them last I checked. I haven't lived here in almost 10 years but I visited 2 years ago and was shocked about these changes. Most people it won't be a big deal to them and that's perfectly fine, it's still an amazing pizza and great meal. But geez someone should have vetoed that idea to drastically change the interior like that. Should have kept the rug and old chairs/tablecloths!

Ken Carlson

Excellent Italian buffet lunch. Good variety tasty food

Helu

Great pizza, a bit on the pricey side and very greasy, but delicious. Had the Godfather one.

Carolina Paula

It would not be fair eating their food and not leaving a good review! I spent the night in kenora and was looking for a comfy and delicious food to delivery at the hotel where I stayed in. I was not expecting this fantastic meal! I ordered the lasagna + roasted pepper soup. OMG!!! Soup was really flavourful (absolutely recommend), but the lasagna was another level of deliciousness! I am a Italian food lover and I guarantee you - you won’t regreat! Love, love and love! That’s a pity that I am leaving this charming town tomorrow or I would try the entire menu! Thank you for the food! ❤️

Friendly service, nice environment, however the food quality needs a bit more improvement. Maybe a change of oil and little less salt on the meal.

Adam Wiebe

Everything was unbelievable, portions were awesome, food was second to none my wife and I highly recommend what we had, the pescatore and the tuttomare. Can't wait to come back thanks Ristorante

Morgan Bell

Best place for a delicious meal in all of Kenora, make sure to try there mussels in garlic sauce ! incredible food

Stuart BURNS

Decent meal ruined by the pricing! This is the same dinners as we used to have over the years. The prices are almost double! Too bad, there are better options in Kenora for this price range. Service is always good. Rough area...

Sabrina Pattison

The food are pretty good but the prices are espensive when I go with my parents and we have alcohol drinks it can get really high around 130 or more

Urvashi Vyas

Portion sizes are huge. Lots of options for everyone - vegetarian and GF options available. Service is a little slow because the place does get quite busy. They also do take out. On the pricier end for food in Kenora but good food.

For some reason my other review has been deleted so i will repost as best as i can. We stopped in kenora while we we're passing through and ate here because of the 5 star rating on this site at the time. Our waitress was Judy and she was absolutely awesome. I could not believe how great of service we had, i felt like i was the queen in the restuant haha! We were in the restaurant for a total of 48 minutes. We had all of our food and under 38 minutes and it was all hot and fantastic. She came just in time with everything! The pictures show justice. I had said in my last post that we will definitely be driving the 1.5 hours to come back here and we did the next day. The following is my post from the day after. well, we drove the extra 1.5 hours the day after we went through Kenora just to stop at this restaurant again and eat supper. Our waitress was absolutely amazing, I didn't catch her name this time. There was some gentlemen with ugly attitudes in the restaurant making a scene that our waitress was not good enough, we thought she was absolutely fantastic in every single way. She was fast with our food, kind, talkative, and very polite. Our food was once again amazing and will probably be making a trip very shortly again and next time I'm going to bring my son as well.

Food was amazing then bam the cream cheese velvet cake!!!

Benjamin Cheater

they have the best pizza in town!

Bill Hoard

always great!

tristan austin

This was seriously one of the best meals I have ever had. The antipasto was incredible, the bread felt like a cloud, and the pesto ravioli felt like silk. This place is amazing.

T;DR: Fine if it is quiet but don't bother when it is busy. Management needs to notify potential customers when they are no longer accepting take-out orders instead of muting their phones and ignoring callers. The food is good but customer service is bad. If it is busy they just mute their phones and refuse to answer. They don't accept voice-mail orders. No online order system. They don't post on Facebook or Instagram that they are full or not taking orders. They are unapologetic and downright rude if you make the mistake of going in to try and order when calling goes straight to voice-mail. Please COMMUNICATE with customers, post on Facebook and Instagram if you are too busy to accept orders. UPDATE YOUR VOICEMAIL when you cannot accept any more orders. If someone walks in and you are unable to take their order maybe don't be rude? Also why do so few places in Kenora offer online orders / delivery? You don't even have to do it yourselves. Just set up door dash or whichever.

Everything I've tried is amazing. I'm slowly crushing my way through their menu. The goat cheese app is simple and understated and melts in your mouth. I loved their Godfather pizza; authentic taste and perfect amount of toppings so that it's not hard to eat. Another time, i had the Chicken Manicotti (ground seasoned chicken stuffed in a manicotti shell) and I've never tasted anything like it. You can taste the time it took to make it. Ristorante is a restaurant I will be taking friends and family to when they visit for sure. The service is professional and friendly, and the music really sets the tone.

David Halprin

It was our lucky night when we chose this restaurant on a whim, to our delight they had a table waiting for us. Dinner was delicious and the staff were professional and attentive. The best thing about Kenora

You have yourselves some new regulars!! Thank you so much for the amazing food, was well beyond our high expectations, we will see you next week!! :)

Lori K.

My husband and I finally got to try out this place and we were not disappointed! I had the Chicken Parmesan with spinach and feta risotto. My husband had spaghetti with scallops and shrimp skewers. Service was great and atmosphere was nice. A few tables around us were a bit noisy but this was due to large groups celebrating birthdays. We will be back again!

Nicollan George

I recently ordered take out from this restaurant I ordered the New York steak with garlic mushrooms sauteed onions and a shrimp screw and I also ordered the fettuccine alfredo with an added grilled chicken breast and I also got the muscle marinara to start with a side of minestrone soup. The food was absolutely delicious my steak I asked for rare and it was perfect the mussels were some of the best mussels I've ever had period and the minestrone soup was phenomenal I highly would recommend ordering from this place the portions were filling and you will not be left disappointed.

Jill Curry

Love this place. Everything is always amazing and they are very accommodating to gluten-free diners. Usually go with a GF Pizza (Godfather, Italian Classic) or Greek Salad for lunch.

Amazing food amazing service kid friendly lunch buffet rocks.

Matt T

Strip loin was completely over seasoned, was way to salty and made it difficult to enjoy the cut of meat itself... Service was good, salad good but I am a firm believer in the meat not the seasoning being the focus of my meal

Ben S

Ordered 2 pizzas to our hotel on a tuesday. Was told it would be 45mins, 1hour 30mins later it shows up. The pizzas were incredibly average for almost $30 a pizza... should have ate in and tried their pasta

Jenn Weitkowitz

I cannot stress enough how good my meal was. The servings are huge, The ravioli carbonara is amazing, and the tiramisu is decadent. If you're traveling for work and want a home made Italian dinner instead of the usual burger garbage, this is the place to go. I will for sure come again next time I'm in town, thanks folks for the amazing meal.

Dustin Land

Amazing service and food! The steak and ravioli is to die for. The best place when we want to treat ourselves.

Brian Carter

Wonderful place! Seafood DiMare was awesone! My wife had the Tuscan Sirloin, and was equally awesome. We decided to go again the next night and try the pizza. Was not let down! highly recommended place to visit in kenora.

Joseph Roy

The food here is always amazing, authentic, and filling. I have never been disappointed here. I'd recommend Ristorante for romantic dinners and a fine italian dining experience in Kenora.

Barbara

Aced my favourite entree ever! Have the Fettuccine Alfredo with Asparagus spears. Good service. Ambiance lacking.

Rick Moore

Great meal.

Francis F

Food was delicious.

Mathew Grabau

Absolutely delicious as always. I highly recommend the Pescatore and the Tutto Mare. Finishing with a Gelato is a must. The food is carefully prepared, service is very friendly and the portions are generous.

Gail McRae

Prices are high

Linda Mcleod

It was very good

Elizabeth Visser

Food was great but we were treated terribly by our server. We were served our entree at 15 minutes apart. I had to ask for a refill on my coffee and she brought me a water, had to ask two more times for coffee. After the food was dropped off we never saw her again, had to go and look for our own condiments at the waitstaff shelves. She was very attentive to the group or older ladies behind us. It was not busy when we were there.

Harry Engel

Most excellent pizza. Homemade sauces and pasta. Surpised at how good it was.

Will Kennington

Had the lunch buffet. It was all right. Unfortunately only two kinds of pizza. Would rather order off menu.

Tammy Christine

Dirty dishes, confused servers, our 3rd server was rude by questioning us about the amount of food I was ordering for my son off the kids menu, crazy expensive prices, 5/10 tasting food, all wrapped up located in the most scary part of kenora surrounded by homeless people and drug dealers. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY HERE!!

Jessy MD

The Fire Roasted Veggie Pizza is incredibly good. Best veggie pizza I've eaten in 24 years of vegetarianism!
