REVIEWS OF The Old Winery Restaurant & Wine Bar IN Elliot Lake

Anurag Sharma

Very clean, nice location, nice food, lovely staff. They took away my sausage meal off the menu though.

Priyakorn Tharjean

Absolutely horrible services. Pizza is nice, but will never come here again. The restaurant is not only about food, it is also about experience, and experience is absolutely terrible here.

Darayan Vlk

This is a great place. The staff are one of the best. The desserts are great.

Yunee w

Amazing wood burning oven pizzas, so far I've had 4 different types from the menu and they were all very tasty. My family keeps coming back to this restaurant, it's usually quite busy during peak dinning times so reserve in advance. Staffs are friendly, Reasonably priced as well.

Lindsay Gulanes

Lovely atmosphere and very spacious. Can get very busy so avoid peak times or make a reso! Food was good and, of course, they have a great selection of local wines.

Conor Plunkett

Nice Place. Good food, friendly staff.

Alexander White

Delicious lamb shank with polenta and rapini. Great guitar and voice by Kevin.????????

Suhan Bijai

The place is absolutely great for dinner. The pizzas are very delicious, the prices are very reasonable, as well as the wait-time is miserable. I'd put 10 stars if possible for the customer service the restaurant provides. The place was busy on Tuesday evening, so if you want to visit during the weekends - you'd better go ahead and reserve a table!

Chloe Hasson

My partner and I went for a quick lunch after going to a couple of tastings and we had a great time! I got the Gnocchi with the gorgonzola cream sauce which was delicious! I was a little apprehensive at first but greatly surprised! Great place for a nice meal, not really formal, pretty casual.

Tee Sirianni

Nice quiet place tucked just off the Main Street. Decent patio and spacious indoor seating. Their pizzas are top notch, burger’s good too, salads are ok and the creme brûlée is scrumptious. A good enough collection of wine and beers too. All in all, no complaints and a satisfying experience.

Ramnath Kumar

Went there this past week and was so impressed with the quality and service, Steph was amazing! I was a little timid eating inside but the restaurant owners and employees made us feel extremely comfortable. All the appropriate COVID guidelines were followed perfectly, servers were extremely cautious and everyone went above and beyond to make our safety a priority. Love this place, would definitely recommend!!

Joseph O'Gorman

Only restaurant with dine in seating around. Thanks for letting us warm up Thank you

Grace MacNeil

Our server Stacy was very knowledgeable and looked after us. Five stars for her.

K Courtney

They make a great wood oven pizza (I had the Chardonnay), but the pasta was sickeningly creamy. It was too heavy for my liking. There were also very few shrimps in my shrimp linguini.

Lyne Martin

The service was amazing! The waitress was very friendly, and the food came really quick, and was delicious! The restaurant had a really nice atomsphere and we were very please with our overall experience of the place! Would definitely recommend!

Beth Kvas

Good food, great atmosphere and service was amazing

Rochelle Viegas

Cold butter with bread, could not spread it. Water tasted like sand. Service was prompt and friendly. Thin-crust pizza was expensive, arrived quickly, and was absolutely delicious. Patio was pleasant. Bread was tasty and free (for the kid...). Washroom had Italian lessons as background music (pretty cool).

Patty Giovinazzo

This place was amazing, great food and excellent service. The dessert was... OMG!!!

Michael Pearson

Service was really good. Our server knew what I wanted before I said it. The food was perfect.

Kasia Devlin

the old winery served us delicious pastas and calamari, as well as a yummy lindt chocolate creme brulee! we luckily only had to wait a few minutes without a reservation (which we did not expect) and the staff were so friendly. nice atmosphere and great food at reasonable prices

Luccas Campos

Wonderful place. Good foo, great staff, and reasonably priced.

David S.G. Min

The experience even during the pandemic was pretty great. However it lacks a little bit of genuine flavour in its ingredients which I was surprised by for a restaurant in NOTL. You can tell their sauce is not homemade. We had the meatballs, cabernet pizza, and the penne alla vodka. Don't get me wrong, all very tasty, but quite expensive for what we thought would be a little more homemade. The owner (or manager) outside checking everyone in was very friendly and appreciative of us being there, and so was our server. We were in and out within 45 minutes for dinner. Thanks for a nice evening.

Morgan C.

Impressive, good food and fast service (we had to get to the theatre, so didn't have much time because of traffic problems). We will eat here again when we have more time to really enjoy things. Looking forward to it!

Martin Kling ORIGINAL MUSIC

My mom and I shared a pizza and a few drinks for lunch. We devoured our pizza and our martinis were excellent. Service was polite and quick. I very much recommend.

Melissa Jurchison

Honestly, I feel badly when I don’t give a really positive review. I will say that they did take us early when we mistakenly showed up before our reservation. That was very gracious of them. However, after we ordered our wine and food…we started to be attacked by small flies. Including two that made their way into our drinks. None of the other tables seemed to be having this issue. We politely asked if we might be seated at any number of open tables …and were told no. These were tables that seemed to stay empty the rest of the evening. So…we stuck with ours, had our food and left. Before tip with an excellent bottle of Pinot Grigio from Colonari…the total was $114. So it wasn’t inexpensive. I had the burger with bacon and fries, my partner had the daily special of pasta with salmon. The fries were decent, burger was ok not amazing. My partner’s salmon was way over cooked and dry. From a food perspective it was a 3.5. From an experience perspective definitely a 2. And no….we won’t go back.

Michael Mischke

As a tourist, we found this place while going on an adventure. I'm so glad we stopped in here! The staff was super friendly, the selection hit the right spot, and the portions were good. The Peppermint Patty is magical! If I find my way back to this part of the province, I'll be back! If you're in the area, go here and you'll be glad you went!

Charinda Perera

Our experience at the old winery was not pleasant one. 4 ladies were trying to enjoy NOTL for a weekend getaway and wanted to enjoy a nice meal amongst friends on a Saturday. To begin, our waitress was extremely rude and dismissive while we were trying to review the menu. She was not helpful at all when asked about the menu, however in addition to that, was abrupt and rude when we we inquired about the wine menu. Customer service is key when you are in the service industry, something our waitress lacked in all areas. After placing our orders, it took an hour and a half to receive our meal. Once received, our chicken with mushroom risotto was extremely salty, to the point the it was not even edible. The manager, was pleasant and did apologize by going above and beyond to replace the meal, but at this point, we were not willing to wait any longer to continue eating there. This was one of the worst experience from a waitress and would not recommend or return in the future.

Stan Wang

Always some sort of issue. Too booked, in between lunch and dinner. We only have room for you if you finish in 45 min.... so on. Limited menu!?! Decided what you want to do! If you need to close then close if you want to be open offer full menu. Got burned here 3 times. Not coming back.

Neha Purohit Vasu

Such a fantastic meal. Would absolutely recommend dining here. The patio is gorgeous and I liked that we didn't have to find parking downtown or deal with the crowds there either!

Daniel Brown

Great atmosphere. The side room has live music. We heard some really good blues. Gets full quickly. Great service

Megan Dyksterhuis

My daughter's and I had a most enjoyable meal. Atmosphere and staff were more than exemplary. Your pizza is also excellent

pi “PIF” f

This place is great to go to after a day spent in Niagara Falls. They have wonderful local wines and some amazing food. Atmosphere is perfect and the staff is so helpful and nice!

Crown Pest, Rodent & WildLife Control Services

My wife frequently lunches here with clients so she suggested we'd try it. We enjoyed very good service the last two times. However, tonight we went to the Bar/wine room as usual and were confronted by a wait staff who rudely told us to leave and be seated by the host (the previous times we were told by the host to just go to the room, so we did this time). This was said to us from the far side of the bar and everyone saw and heard. We went back to the host station and had a waiter seat us as the host was not at the entrance. We waited 15 minutes without being asked if we wanted to order a drink while being ignored by the three waitstaff and bartender. All the other tables were already eating. At that point, we decided enough was enough and got up to leave, only then did the wait staff come over. Too late.

Victor Szabo

Great atmosphere and awesome place the food was great as well.. but the beef patty had a bit more salt .. all in all wonderful place lovely staff.. ????????????

Andrew Thiel

Always happy to be there. Good menu, staff have been there for a long time & know what they are talking about. Food is always good!

Milad Zabihi

Lovely place with great service -- we were a large group. Service was efficient and the waitress was kind enough to deal with our individual bills. I had the veal parmigiana. It hit the spot although the tomato sauce could have had a bit more salt to give it zing. Dessert was delightful -- I had the tiramisu . I would recommend sharing it -- it is super super rich. It is a bit of a loud place (high ceilings, open acoustics) so perhas difficult to have soft conversations. Great decor.

James Dekker

The hostess completely ignored our presence. Didn't bother to say hi. Could have been understandable had the place been busy which it wasn't. Rubbish service.

Li Ro

Burger was surprisingly tasty. Pasta was decent, had a lot of sauce. Chicken w pasta was good too. Beer and Caesar were good, however the beer is 16oz for 7$ is way overpriced. If it was 20oz then it would be justified. Overall good food, good experience. The patio is really nice quiet with lots of trees ???? ???? (don’t mind the pink shadow on the plates, it’s the reflection from the overhead umbrellas. The plates were white lol)

Grant Maguire

Food is great staff is very friendly. Always service with a smile.

Joseph Maurizio

We arrived at 12:30 on a Sunday, the restaurant was closed with no signage that it was closed. On Google it said open at 11:30 on Sundays. Call ahead if you ever plan on going here or you're in for a disappointing time.

Chris Reid

Sat in parking lot patio spot but our server was amazing and the gluten free pizza was one of the best I've had.

Mark Seed

I wanted more out of this restaurant. The food was okay, the environment seemed to be lacking but I couldn't quite figure out why. Maybe it was the plastic covid partitions or the rather inattentive staff. The white russian I had there was awful. I make them better at home. It tasted watered down. My wife and I both had the steak tenderloin and we left hungry. After spending $200 at a restaurant we should not be leaving hungry. Will I return? Definitely not. I also do not recommend this place.

Jeff Holmstrom

Great layout and atmosphere. I've only ever had the pizza, always enjoyed it but would like to see a few more pizza options on the menu.

Ádám Balázs

The gnocchi was amazing. Chicken seemed like something I could make at home. We really came based off of their menu on their website as my partner has some dietary restrictions and it is not the same menu at all. Service was a little disappointing as well

sarah devries

Good food, nice service. Really enjoyed the casual dining experience. Recommend for a couple or a small group. Easy walking distance from local B&Bs.

himanshu bhawankhel

The pasta we had there was definately fresh made and so full of flavor. Nice active ambience. Pretty good experience.

Maisha Iqbal

Very tasty food and very good service.

Arjoon Vohra

My husband and I love this place. Their food is amazing and frankly they have the best pizzas in Niagara and in Toronto. Our favourite is their ricotta gnocchi in Gorgonzola cream sauce, Riesling and Cabernet pizza. We have tried their Gewurtz and Chardonnay pizzas and they also taste good. Their Soup of the Day (tomato soup) was really good but they have discontinued it during summers. Our family loves this place and their food is really the best.

Jeffrey Chan

Great atmosphere but the booth chairs are too narrow you could only fit half of your butt while sitting on it. What if you have Kardashian silicon-filled buns? I and another guest looked at each other and laughed because we Noticed the same problem. Otherwise, food was delicious. Our server smiled only once the whole time we were there.

A Timmins

Good food, the pizzas are amazing, waiter was very nice, smiling, funny & unlocked a very good customer experience. Highly recommend

Charles Jimenez

Great service, great food! Glad to be able to enjoy such a good experience once again!

Yolanda Henry

If you are Italian you cannot call the pizza here pizza!!! Very disappointed. Also their gnocchi is a disgrace.... Italians stay away... Everyone else don't forget your recyclable containers when you leave!!

Bluechip Canada

Always fresh. Always something to tempt the senses. Mostly friendly and fun. Excellent value. The'Riesling' pizza is a keeper and a favourite. Go there. Herbertwalternelson@gmail

Jelena P

Visited on Saturday for lunch on their patio. Overall, the food was good. We ordered their calamari, pepperoni pizza, and shrimp and baby clam pasta. Unfortunately, I don’t recommend the calamari, it was super deep fried, dark brown, and crispy. Calamari is not supposed to be like that. However, the pizza and pasta were good. It also seemed like they were understaffed that day, as it looked like there was only one server for our section of the patio.

David Wang

Highly recommend this restaurant which is located just outside the downtown Niagara on the lake area. We were able to get a table outside right away because they have expanded the patio over to the parking lot. It is a small but nice selection of food and wines. The value was very good as the food was excellent and not overpriced.

David Burkholder

Excellent staff and patio! Food and beverage selections were great ????

Andrew Leonard

Great food, friendly service!

Len McPhail

Food is always good and reasonably priced. Good value. Make sure to enjoy the live music Fridays and Saturdays. Awesome groups

Dayna Mailach

Pesto pizza...mmm mmm good

Jeremy Malloy

Great Atmosphere and friendly staff. Would definitely go again.

Chris Anthony

One of my favourite places to eat. Had the special pizza of the day. They offer gluten free options, which is awesome. The pizza was delicious.

Victoria S

Wonderful experience. Seven ladies from out-of-town arrived without a reservation and were immediately seated. Our server, Gabrielle, was a delight and provided amazing service. The food was delicious and perfect portions. Would recommend.

Gary Paquette

This is a classy, elegant place for dinner. It's a nice restaurant to go to for a romantic evening or a just a nice dinner. The food was exceptional and the wait staff was very polite and friendly. There was a nice selection of wines on the wine list and the filet was cooked perfectly.

Slava Fedossenko

Great place to go and eat and drink clean Great food at a fair price. I love this place when l go to the wine country.

Tony Petruzzo

I had the lamb and it was delicious. The waiter was very friendly and food came fast even though it was a Saturday and pretty packed

T. N.D.

The food was quite tasty with decent sized portions. Really enjoyed the appetizer. The drinks menu has a good local selection.

Aaron Burrows

The food was very good... The staff were all masked and tried their utmost to position the patio tables at appropriate distance..

Brian Gonsalves

My daughter and I went here on a whim, the place was empty as we went a bit early. The food was superb I had the pasta dish, my daughter had the pizza. The service was good. The place started filling up by the time we left and when we did it was almost packed. This will be our go-to spot when visiting Niagara on the Lake????

Robynne Thiele

We were in NOTL for the Ice Wine Festival, headed to the Old Winery for dinner on Saturday night; amazing! The weather was crazy, we got hit with a big storm so there was no live music but it was still a great time! Amazing food; there were 6 of us, We ordered the Pinot Pizza, Penne Al Vodka, Gnocchi and the Lamb Shank- all fantasist meals! We made reservations (recommended) our table wasn’t ready at the reservation time but the staff worked fast to get us seated! Overall we had a great experience; great food and great staff!

Alex “worldslim”

The gnocchi was SO GOOD The garlic beschemel pizza was pretty good too! Great service

Kaitlyn Thomson

Great food paired nicely with wonderful local wines. Awesome service.

Terry Wheatley

Awesome pasta and pizza. Close to wineries. Great ambience. Good prices

Gabriel C Dias

I did not know about this place, my cousin took me there for a quick yet amazing lunch. The atmosphere was really nice, the food came out fast and steadily and it was delicious. I took a beef burger and the meat was fresh and juicy and everything felt top of the line. I would recommend if you are visiting Ontario to check this place for a fast yet cozy meal.

Christina Raj

Amazing, everything was a hit, so much flavour (chardonnay pizza, carbonara pasta, autumn apple with whiskey caramel sauce) ????

amr soliman

Great food! especially their oven baked pizza is something to try. Frequently go there for business lunches never been disappointed! Highly Recommended!

Roxana Larrondo

We came down from Hamilton for dinner on Dec. 5th. Lots of parking available, signs clearly labeled for entering and exiting. We were a table of 4 but due to covid restrictions amd not being from the same household we had to sit a separate tables. The restaurant was very good in making sure our tables were next to each other so we could still chat. Weird yes but we made it a good time! The waitress was very nice, she explained everything very well and answered all of our questions. She was excellent about knowing when to pop in and ask questions making sure not to get in the middle of our conversations. This is something hard to find, Thank you for this! Food : We started with the Cesar salad and calamari. The Cesar was excellent, love your dressing! The Calamari was, ok. The breading was delicious but the calamari was a bit tough/hard. This is one of the reasons for the lost star. We then moved on to dinner. I had the steak and my wife had the carbonara pasta. Steak was cooked excellent, medium rare. It was more of a baseball steak then a flat steak and it was the only one on the menu. Another reason for the lost star. A bit of variety on the steaks would have been nice. My wife said the carbonara was good but nothing to write home about.... All in all the food was good, the service was great, they followed all health guidelines and had partitions in the restaurant. We all had a great night and will come back in the near future. We will def be back to sit on the patio one day in the summer! Salute Old Winery!

Anton Savostenko

A very nice place. Good service... the waitstaff were very pleasant and fairly attentive. The food was outstanding. You can't really go wrong on any dish. The pizza is particularly good. Prices are competitive for food. Drinks seem expensive but are delicious. The only main criticism is with hosting and seating us... there was a loud discussion going on with staff at the entrance which made it hard to talk, hear and get appropriate service. Then the host wouldn't seat us at a shady table because it was for 4 people. It would not have been difficult to move a table (they are just light bistro tables) and other pairs were seated at tables for 4. We ended up cooking in the sun... at a small table. Overall, an excellent experience though.

Zar K.

A Fantastic lunch, it was a pre-set menu as we had booked a lunch wine tour. Staff/food and wine options were delightful. Best stone burning oven pizza this year! Good patio let's you soak in the sun while sipping on good quality VQA's.

Naryan Wong

Proscuitto Wrapped Chicken Supreme with Goat Cheese and Mushroom Risotto was incredible. Best risotto I have had in a very long time. Our waitress was excellent and knowledgeable. Great little find in Niagara wine country! Will definitely go back.

Dave Nicholls

Nice atmosphere, cozy patio with shade. Food was good but not enough variety. Could have more pasta options and meat entree options. Salads were mostly leaves, not enough toppings or dressing. Service was good but the wait times were a bit long for entrees. Appetizers came very quickly.

Aaron Gerlach

Great environment, excellent Italian themed food, and friendly staff.

Kathleen Bradley

Great experience! We went yesterday afternoon (Sunday) for a late lunch and we were served by Luis who is fantastic! He recommended a fabulous local wine and the 2 pizzas we ordered were absolutely amazing. Thin crust, exceptional taste and priced accordingly. We'll be back.

Elizabeth Nguyen

Excellent atmosphere fantastic food an overall great experience

Selena Lake

Delicious!! Excellent service. Be sure to try the gnocchi!

Ian Cameron McLaren

Great lil spot

Marcia Coull

We went on New year's Eve to try to get a table before festivities started and they were able to accommodate us. The reason we went here is because it was highly rated for the gluten-free menu options. Upon being seated and informing the wait staff of being celiac, she informed us of that almost everything on the menu was gluten-free including meatballs! We both had an amazing meal including appetizer meal and dessert! Although it's on the pricey side, I would highly recommend going here for any occasion!

Fred Regier

Great place to grab a bite after checking out the wineries all day. Good food and great service.

Kate K

Great service. They have a couple of nice patios, one by the parking lot on turf grass, the other as a deck. I prefer sitting on the deck. The main dining room is more traditional but has an exposed kitchen with a brick oven for their excellent thin crust pizzas. Good pastas and a decent wine selection too.

Tales Esparta

Very comfortable atmosphere. We had the Cabernet pizza and Gnocchi. They were both fantastic. The cheese sauce with the gnocchi in itself was amazing. Great service. I didn't get our servers name but she was friendly and the perfect amount of attentiveness. Fantastic first experience. I highly recommend this place.

Cathy Johns

Excellent wood fired pizza, very large menu with various price points. The Lindor brulle is so good it's sinful so save room! Also impressed with the local wine selection

Christine

Best place to get a nice meal with the family in Niagara on the lake. If you are down (or up) in the Niagara region you should definitely try some pizza. They use a wood fire pizza oven. The way pizza was meant to be made. Take a gander at the one page, no hasle, menu and you will see their pizza options are quite delectable and unique. I recommend - 'Chardonnay' Fancy chicken and mushrooms, -'Sauvignon Blanc' mushroom spinach and goat cheese -'Cabernet' pepperoni, chorizo and sopressata. Or keep it simple with a classic pepperoni -'House Red' These are the ones I have tried and enjoy thoroughly. This is my go to place to get pizza I'm Niagara.

Chris Wybenga

Calamari was good. Had the gewurtz pizza, good size for two people to share. Patio was extended to the parking, not bad.

Shal S

We are locals who have frequented this place a couple of times per year. The food quality has declined considerably over the past couple of years. On a recent visit, the arugula salad was wilted and had to be re-ordered, the butter smelled stale and like refrigerator chemicals, the 'famous' bread was not tasty at all. The pizza was good, but only because the salt and strong flavours masked everything. On top of all of that, they still charged us $1.50 for the bread and butter! The price was not the issue, but after such sub-standard food, you'd think they'd comp the bread at least. The pandemic has been hard on all restaurants, but until this place re-focuses on food quality, we won't be returning nor will we recommend it.

Lee-anne Lindsay

We came for dinner during the peach festival. We had reservations. Two of us ordered pizza. After waiting an hour, we were told it was the next order. It took an additional 20 minutes. So we waited 80 minutes for a salad, a hamburger, and a pizza. The waiter was distracted and the manager said, "We had a lot of pizza orders". No offer of free apps or dessert. No real apology. We won't return

Charles K. Wong

Great food and a great wine pairing special.

Pete

Stopped in for dinner on a Sunday night and were lucky enough to be there for the live music performance in the lounge! We got two pastas (rigatoni and gnocchi) and scarfed down the bread and oil. The gnocchi was out of this world! We had very attentive service and loved the cozy brick atmosphere. Highly recommend!!

Beth Chumbar

Great service. Had Gluten free pizza options

Mauren Kaufmann

We are repeat customers. They have great wood oven pizza and they have some fantastic pasta dishes as well. The menu is not huge, however everything is well prepared and comes to the table hot. The servers are friendly and fast. Prices are reasonable for the amount and quality of the food.

Hiren Anajwala

Friendly staff and a nice green patio.

Dinesh Bharuchi

Nice atmosphere two separate entertainment areas with bar and live band on Saturdays.

Les James

Such a great place! Can easily compete with the best restaurants in downtown Toronto! Their Lindt chocolate creme brûlée is to die for!!! Great service as well.

Christopher Chudoba

Nice atmosphere, great food!

Janelle Penney

This place was OK, but I certainly would not return. Food was quite average - I tried about 6 items: 3 were just OK (not even "good"), 2 were good (not great), and 1 just wasn't good at all. Service was also OK - professional, and not rude or anything, but just didn't feel friendly whatsoever. Atmosphere was nice, with a good vibe, but it was terribly hot inside - we were all sweating; it was a hot day, but still.... we were all quite uncomfortable. Prices however were fair. This place has potential, but definitely needs some work in a number of areas.

Catherine Clase

Great pizza from wood burning oven.

Momo Smudja (Smudja03)

Great wood fired Pizza. Friendly staff. Very clean. Will be back.

Samantha Rodolico

Dine in

Nancy Jeffrey

Looks like they deleted my last review. Our horrible experience began when we were seated outside on the patio and the umbrella had ants all over it. We told our waiter about this and he proceeded to shake the ants off and onto the customers beside us. Because the ants didn't come off he finally decided to give us a new umbrella. We all ordered and we ordered calamari for an appetizer. The service was horrible and slow and we never even received our calamari until after we mentioned it to the waiter. He told us he wished she could blame it on the kitchen staff but it was his fault and never even apologized for it. You could tell other guests were having similar experiences as their food took forever to come and they also didn't receive what they had ordered. We also had to ask the waiter to get proper cutlery and cheese and other toppings for the pasta.

Misc Mails

Nice patio. Food was very tasty. Nice desserts.

Annette Orzel

Great pasta options, charming patio, well priced wine and very good for social distancing. A very enjoyable experience in a quiet pretty spot.

Jelayna Da Silva

Waitress was great. The food was good. The reason for 3 stars. The person showing us a table was miserable also when i came in days earlier to make reservations the woman was extremely grumpy and rude. She cut me off before i could ask whst i needed to know

Trevor Ketcheson

Nice wine and amazing food..

Alistair Harlond

Awesome service!

Mike Sulja

Excellent food and kind services

Martha D

Good meal and service

Marko D (LiquidNeon)

Food here is reasonably priced and it is exceptional quality. Pizza was super thin and ratio of ingredients to dough was phenomenal. We were here first day of stage 3 reopen and ate indoors. This restaurant takes necessary precautions for social distancing and everyone wears masks, as well as hand sanitizer provided.

Amaris

The food was FANTASTIC!!! Service was great, everyone is so nice there. I have to say, the ricotta gnocchi was AMAZING! And the desserts were so delicious, tasty, and probably some the best desserts I've ever had. Overall it was a great experience

Herbert Nelson

Amazing food and the service superb... would definitely stop there again

Pierre Viel

Our main to go to place to eat when we visit NOL. Many thanks to Stephanie for her amazing service. And the food is sublime.

Paul Vanderzwet

Arrived the Old Winery mid afternoon. Ask to be seated on the patio. Didn't look like it was open. They said yes we could be outside. Great food, everyone loved the pizza. Service was excellent. Highly recommend.

Amr Soliman

Fantastic! Great food with a wide range of price points. Creative, delicious recipes for any pallet. Wide range of local wines. Added bonus of kid friendly options. Staff were excellent. Great choice for dinner before a visit to the Shaw Festival!

Guiordany Elias Arguello De La Cruz

This was our second time here and it was even better than the first. Pizza and pasta were both delicious.

Martin Ocampo

The Patio is nice. The Pizza and Pastas are good, and the best thing is that they have a great collection of local wines from all famous wineries on Niagara on-the-like.

Andrew Stirling

The food was great - I had the gnocchi, and others enjoyed the gazpacho and salads. After waiting for about half an hour, we were told the food was being plated. Unfortunately, 20 minutes later our food still had not arrived. After another 15 minutes, the food finally arrived, and it most definitely had not taken 35 minutes to plate those atrocities. Once again, the food tasted quite good but the overall experience was quite negative. Servers seriously underwhelmed.

Susan Tuckey

Loved the pizza, they r super thin ????????????????

Jatinder Maan

Karen Du

Great place, great food, great service. I recommend the menu with wine matching. Price is fair.

Ci G

Had Valentines takeout. The food was amazing.

Julia McColl

The best pizza I've had in Canada! My hubby had the veal burger and it was fantastic. The patio has a lovely atmosphere and service was great!

Donna Diep

The food was amazing! Especially the pizzas. We shared pizzas and pastasz, and the quality of the local wine blew my mind

Artem Z

Amazing experience. The service was great, got a real feel of Italian dining.

veesha maharaj

A no frills dining experience with a solid selection of appetizers, pastas and pizzas from their wood fired oven. Generous portion sizes. The pasta was good, but nothing out of this world (boxed dried pasta with a canned sauce), and the pizza was good, although a little dry (oven floor temperatures were likely a little too low, and the crust tasted too dry/ashy). Overall, a good place to grab a quick and filling meal. Would recommend.

Peter Rizk

Very pleasant place, great food. I was pleasantly surprised. Would recommend it to anybody!

Madeleine Harvey-Raymond

Very nice restaurant. Had the gnocchi in tomato sauce and chicken pizza. Both were excellent!!! Friendly staff. Fast service. Definitely would recommend.

Sherry Robinson

Loved your meal here Good service Super food

Petar Zlatanov

Great live music, great pizzas, great service. Hidden gem.

anton golionko

Didnt know what to expect. Came out disappointed. Although friendly and quick to help with complaints, still left with a bad taste in the mouth. Avoid the "rose" pizza. Ruins your pallet. The salt is unbearable. Also using all the nice glassware sets a tone. Filling up a water glass with plastic bud jugs instantly made the place tacky. Even the hideous tarps beside our window. Terrible Birthday dinner on our day off , just upsetting. Needs improvement - has so much potential.

Andrea Loveridge

Good prices, nice atmosphere and friendly staff.

Lauren Ing

Excellent service! The Gorgonzola ricotta gnocchi wax superb! A MUST have.

Shyam Sekhar Menon

The food is great, service is great, and entertainment is great. The only reason I hesitate to give 5 stars is that the restaurant is not set up properly for live music. There aren't enough seats or spaces to stand, and most people are still dining when entertainment begins.

Kyle Murphy

Loved this restaurant! Service was fast and friendly. Food was to my liking and big portions. I will definitely be back and try other things on the menu!

Adrian B

Excellente food, high quality ingredients, confident chef able to NOT abuse salt. Very pleasant evening.

Khuyen Nguyen

We need a reservation however we were having a very early dinner so didn't really need it. Service was great the food was excellent.

Stefan Radovanovic

I went here as part of a biking wine tour I was on. The food was just stellar and I would recommend it. Portions also very generous. Definitely recommend.

Ryan Farabee

I have picked The Old Winery on Google for our Saturday dinner after visiting the area and I could not have chosen better! The place is so pleasant and tou can see the brick building to your left as you approach downtown Niagara on the Lake. We tried the local Merlot and it was seriously one of the best I’ve tasted. The ricotta gnocchi with gorgonzola was amazing and I tried the one of the pizzas with goat cheese with thin crust made in the brick oven, which was ridiculously good (one nice thing is they name the pizzas after wines). Not to mention the great friendly service! And when I went to the washroom, I had such a nice surprise. There was an Italian audio lesson going on the speaker ????????????????❤️❤️ What an experience!

D D

We didn't make reservations and the restaurant was packed but the hostess was able to find us a nice table. The food was great and generous for the price; pizza, pasta dish, chicken dish and the chocolate creme brulee. Highly recommend, will definitely return!

Лариса Дидора

Nice patio seatings and great service but the food wasn’t as good as I expected. This place has such a high rating and has many great reviews but well..my pasta was very bland, probably the chef forgot to season it(?) and the rib we had was good but little dry.

Peter Matt Rempel

Food and service was wonderful! We came here because the pizza menu looked interesting and we ended up ordering 4 pizzas between the 4 of us plus the calamari and cheese/meat place. All the pizzas were named after a type of wine, which was very creative! We were pleasantly surprised to see that the pizzas were a good reasonable size, not like a smaller personal size one. Hands down, anything with truffle oil is delicious! The calamari was also wonderful! It was lightly battered and crispy, not chewy. I was also impressed by how considerate and sensitive the waitress was. When I told her about my beef allergy, she intentionally placed the pizza that may contain beef further away from me. And when we packed up the food, she also put the pizza in a separate box to minimize cross contamination. It has been a long time since I've seen a server take such precautions for the customer. I'm grestly impressed and appreciative! Wonderful wonderful time! =)

Dale Shaw

This was a nice place. Mid size menu with variety, not overwhelming. We ordered the gnocchi in gorgonzolla which was delicious, almost two rich. We were there for lunch so I wished we had ordered that dish to share plus an app, or some starters. Also ordered the burger, it was a nice size, crispy edges with a soft bun. Or criticism is it was a bit drippy. Fries were nice, but half dish was fries and half was just bits. Gave it 5 start anyway. Only criticism is you have to pull up the menu on your phone, and in order to access it you have to do an online covid screening, which we already did verbally with the hostess. There's no wifi, and just about no phone service, so it was painful to load the menu online. I understand why they're doing it, but maybe have some real menus you can wipe down, or some printed ones you can just recycle after.

Robert Longphee

beef was well cooked and the oven for Pizza looks really professional. But the service is a bit slow.

Juan Felipe

Very good food, reasonable wine prices and a nice room.

Kuldeep Nimbalker

The food here was excellent! Italian menu with a more modern take. The restaurant is decorated well with a nice ambience. The menu and wine list offers a good choice and the prices are reasonable. Not to far from the main strip, overall a great place to eat.

Danny Fast

A little small and cozy restaurant. They have excellent food and the staff are very polite and kind. They have a decent selection of food, had the ceaser salad with croutons and bacon paired with the beef burger and was no disappointed at all.

Anna Ivleva

Loved the old winery. I had the prosciutto wrapped chicken on a mushroom risotto, it was phenomenal. The chicken was tender and risotto was perfectly cooked and well balanced. We also had the calamari which had a little twist and a pizza who’s crust was wonderful! Definitely recommended

Colton Ritchie

Portion small for the price you pay...but great tasting food.

Monica Antunes

Pizza are GREATTTTT

Leo C.

Meal type

Rebecca Kocsis

Good for those B&B ers who don't know where to eat. Had a great pizza and a good selection of local wine.

AXE G man

Really enjoy the food, the Reisling pizza is a must try, happy that they respect dietary request. They follow the physical distance practice, good job!

Emma Leigh

Now one of my favourite restaraunts, the gin smash is amazing!

Apoorva Mehta

The wood oven pizza was phenomenal! One of the best I’ve tried! Our server was excellent and gave us great recommendations on food and wine pairings. We came on a rainy day and they accommodated us without a reservation. The atmosphere was cosy and they had a good menu selection. We will definitely be back to try out some other dishes in the future.

Mike Hoang

It's the best italian-like pizzas that can be found in North America. But of you ever tried the actual pizza, don't bother coming here. The Crème Brûlée was just ok, and the caramel crust was harder than expected

raj panchal

Came with a small group as part of a wine tour. We had a lot of fun, with very relaxed vibes and stellar service. The pizzas were delicious and reasonably priced, and the wine was fantastic. Great location. Will definitely be back!

Ben Mascioli

Amazing patio for a family time

Andy F

Best brick oven pizzas. Great wine. Awesome service. Desert was good to.

K K

First off, thank you so much for being open and accommodating us for an amazing meal! The wood fired pizza ???? seriously out of this world ???? super thin, tasty and ???? spicy - oh yeah - the calamari was super light and tasty too. Our water was from Montreal, (sorry I forgot ????????‍♂️ his name) but wanted to thank him so much for his awesome attitude and smile! Merci????

JMac -

Amazing food at great prices.

Airam Villalobos

This is a great place to enjoy a meal while listening to some live music. This was our second visit in as many years and will continue to come back each time we visit Niagara on the lake. The food is awesome and the entertainment was just as good. We love this place!

Molly S

Don't recommend.

Lynda Dumouchelle

We had a wonderful dinner and great service this evening. The place is really nice inside. Hip. The guy in the lounge area singing on Sundays was great the bit I heard too. Would like to go back and sit in there and hear him more. . Overall great experience.

Brian Devins

We come here every year when visiting Niagara on the Lake—always good food and wine. Great cozy atmosphere. It’s a must-visit place!

H Au

Love the food and the wine! Highly recommended it.

Filipina Whittaker

Food was very good. Service was friendly but a bit spotty...waited a while to be seated, waited for the main entree quite a long time. In their defence the place was really busy. Overall a good experience, good value, price was reasonable. We will return.

Stephen

not as classy as it looks. good pizza but that's about it. service was okay and okay selection of wine but really not worth it compared to surrounding options

Adam Crichton

Old Winery was our first stop in town for a girls’ weekend at the end of March 2019. Lunch was simple, salads and wine, and we were there at a quiet time of day which was perfect for catching up and planning the weekend. Our waiter, Luc, was especially helpful with suggestions for wineries, shops, and local events. If you are new to the area, we highly recommend you start with lunch with Luc! -Kim and Amy

Mark Hale

Great Service but horrible food, Pizza is nothing like it's Advertised

Tom Kares

Food was good. Service was average. They were busy. The valet guy tried telling us that there weren't any tables when we had just called less than 10 minutes ago conforming that there were tables. We had pizzas that were loaded with cheese and little else of the toppings, couple leaves of spinach and a small handful of mushrooms scattered under a massive layer of cheeses. I suppose that is what most people are looking for with their pizzas.

Tavvy

Fairly large restaurant, warm ambience and well distanced for the pademic. We went on Friday at 7pm with a reservation. But by 8pm there were ample open tables. The staff, albeit friendly, appeared to be very busy and therefore not overly attentive. But I have no criticism either. The food was average too. The tastes of the pizza (Chardonnay) and the seafood pasta (very thin on the seafood) didn't necessarily jump out. Mind you, I like a spicy palate so there may be an unfair expectation. If you're in the NOL area, give it a shot and decide if you want to again.

Helen Ceschia

Best Burgers & Pizza around, I go there everytime my dad comes to visit me at Niagara On The Lake

Amy Whyte

The pasta at The Old Winery is really delicious, I had the orecchiette with beef tips and a mushroom cream sauce--it was an elevated beef stroganoff, and I ate the whole huge portion! My wife had the bolognese with pulled pork and ground beef, which was outstanding. I also had a beet and arugula salad with was dressed well, and very refined. The service was well above average, they were very accommodating to our group of friends. They only lose one star because the Caesar salad my wife had was pretty basic, nothing to set it apart at all. But also because the starter salads are $12 each, which is very pricey, even for NOTL. Regardless, I'd definitely return here and recommend it other people.

Rob Sullivan

Went there few weekends ago ordered at beer and our food showed up 30 secs after our drinks came in total from walking in and paying walking out was less than 35 mins how do you cook food that fast will not be going back the total bill was over hundred dollars for half hour ,don't waste your money here . Food was not even good dried chicken probably sitting under a heat lamp waste of time goin there.

john lane

Good Italian. Try the pizzas - surprisingly creative and real tasty.

Yilin Zhao

Food was fantastic. They have extended their patio by carving out a space in the parking lot with fake grass and a tent cover. It was perfect.

arash mohammadi

Wow just Wow. Incredible imaginative menu. Fair prices. Fast service.

Robert Sweet

Pizzas are a must!

Chris Carpenter

Recently visited the Old Winery Restaurant for dinner and had a really great experience. Food was delicious and the service was top notch. Atmosphere was great for a nice dinner out and wasn't too pricey either - would definitely visit again!

Master iOqY

You need to try this place ! Absolutely delicious!!! The pizza is to die for. We got the Chardonnay pizza and we wanted seconds. I also ordered the chicken Alfredo and it was perfect. For dessert we had the apple pie and it was also amazing. The service was so fast and everyone was really friendly. I can’t wait to come back !

Felipe Cuyumjian

Amazing place for a romantic dinner after a long day in the beautiful outskirts near Niagara. Best desserts I have ever tried! Attentive service, nice and cozy interior. Their creme brulee is a total must-try! Reasonable prices, too. Will definitely be coming back.

Jim Au

The spaghetti and meatballs pasta seemed like it's out of a box and the sauce really didn't have that fresh taste I was hoping for. The gnocchi was much better, but if your hoping for something to bring you back to nonni's this wasn't for me.

Clay Berlo

Great thin pizza, outstanding mushroom risotto, glad we went.

Kate Kirisit

If gnocchi is your thing This is the place!! It’s really tasty. Usually I have to put more Parmesan and salt ... but here no need at all. It came with perfect taste no need to put more flavour . ???????? I’ve always been a big fan of Italian food and gnocchi being one of my favorite dishes. The gnocchi with cream sauce is amazing!!!!! Can’t wait to try other dishes. And if the food is amazing so is the staff. My server is wonderful and you feel like you are in their home eating. To sum it up. Great food. Great atmosphere. And such lovely people. Can’t wait to go here again. You will not be disappointed.

Adam Ockrim

Went here with a wine tour and the food was good, but the service was very very slow. I felt like we were the forgotten table.

KELLY Shackell

We have been there 100 times and never had an issue. This last visit wasn't as seamless. We had a reservation for 8pm for a Birthday celebration; went to the bar for a drink; didn't get our table til almost 8:20. We were seated. Sat for close to 15min before a server came over. It felt as though they didn't know who our server was going to be. Dinner was very slow which was fine. Three of us got our appetizers and I had to ask where the last 2 were 10min later (salads). Dinner was good. The Birthday girl ordered her usual bacon wrapped chicken. It had changed..didn't know until served. It was good but she was looking forward to the polenta. Complimentary dessert for the Birthday girl was nice on the part of the restaurant. Will go back definitely.

Maycon Cambaúva dos Santos

What an amazing wine tour experience. Will recommend to everyone

Matthew Budram

We came here for our 1st anniversary. The place was really nice. We had the meatballs and calamari for apps and they were excellent. We had the handmade gnocchi and gewurtz pizza and the sizes were big and we couldn't finish. We would definitely come back here in the future.

Dale G

Casual and fun dining. We went out for date night and enjoyed the food. Service was really friendly

Kaitlin Curtiss

Sat night dinners with Niagara rhythm Section is unreal experience ... Service is always impeccable and food is consistently amazing. Sunday nights in the bar area are also alit of fun with local Jazz legend. One of our local favs ...

Geoffrey Mah

What an incredible lunch experience at the old winery! Firstly, the place looked stunning with its vintage ambience. The server was so gracious to tell us about the catch of the day lunch & the soup of the day. We had the cream of tomato soup which was heavenly. Along with it we took fried calamari, gnocchi and pesto linguine pasta with fried salmon. My first experience with salmon and boy was it delicious! Would love to come back here just to try another catch of the day dish!!

MM Dow

Great little patio at the back. Restaurant description should be Italian though... pizza and pasta on the menu

John Pearson

The group had a variety of dinners. No complaints. Pasta and pizza was exceptional. Busy musical night and the service by Manda waa faultless. The Niagara Rhythm Section with their guest provides a great night of music.

Alexis Jieun Bae

Gorgonzola gnocchi. Absolutely delicious. Service is always excellent and love the ambience as well!

BYT

unfortunately for us, definitely not a 4+ star, went for dinner on a Sunday 2 weeks ago, ordered the gnocchi and pizza special, both where ehh. Food was served within 5 mins., probably nuked, the wine a Pinot Grigio from Inniskillin was the only 4.5 star.

Gabriela Teixeira

Service is excellent! Food taste really good. Oven pizza is thin and a good portion to share. Highly recommend the fresh gnocchi house made - portion was large for 2 people. To top off the meals, you need to try the lindt chocolate creme brulee - amazing! I am not a fan of desserts but this is worth trying and also to coming back for. Good outdoor patio.

Raman Kaushik

Great restaurant on the outskirts of Niagara on the Lake. It has a nice atmosphere and has plenty of room for small and large groups. We were seated quickly and our service was tip-top. We kept the meal simple and ordered the Chardonnay pizza and gnocchi pasta and both came out hot and delicious. It is probably a good idea to book reservations if your part is larger than four.

Matias Cazal

Great food and surprisingly low prices. Everything from appetizers to entrees, plus desserts AND specialty coffees to finish it off. Really enjoyed the meal tonight.

Paul Bongers

We had been to this restaurant previously and had a positive experience but this was not the case today. Our server seemed inexperienced and/or uncaring. We order thin crust pizza done in a pizza oven. This takes no longer than 5 min to cook. It was 3 in the afternoon and there were no more than 4 tables in the restaurant at the time we were there and 2 servers. Our pizzas took 35 min to get to the table. The pizza was stone cold when it came. I asked them for mine to be remade while my wife decided to eat hers. Another 7 to 10 min for an second pizza... no manager came over to apologize. Even during our meal the server never came back to see if everything was ok or if we needed anything else. Will never go back. 1 star is too much.

Adarsh Upadhya

A wonderful spot in the NOTL region. We visited on the Saturday of Labour Day weekend and were lucky to get a table around 1:00 pm before they got busy! We had the Antipasto platter and Chardonnay pizza and both were top notch!They have enough seating both indoors and out on the patio. Our server was super too! Would definitely recommend for their wood fired pizzas! ????

Unni James

Great food, excellent wine and service. Would definitely go back.

Ian Russell

The pizza was not great in my opinion. The crust is so so thin it looks and tastes like a tortilla and it was also burnt. Service was okay. Best part was the outdoor seating area. Personally would not go back as it wasn't worth the price.

Brianna Anderson

Beautiful patio, great service, delicious thin crust gourmet pizza and arugula./beet salad.

Ian Yu

Great atmosphere. Good service. Don't plan to go if you're in a rush.

Timothy Colangelo (BreakTheBass)

Excellent food and great selection of wine, naturally. We never been disappointed. Try the wood fired pizza!

Julie Plante

The food is amazing and the band on Saturday nights is incredible. Great venue for local music and very tasty stone oven pizzas along with the whole menu.

Logan Ellis

Great place, very busy. We had the price fixe menu that day. Fresh fish and great wine pairings. We went to Niagara-on-the-Lake to get some spa treatments done and reserved tables for a late dinner.

Alex B

Fantastic local wines, fresh and delicious meals. Loved the beetroot arugula salad, pizzas.

Leroy Mascarenhas

Came with my husband for a nice night out. Cozy and nice that we could easily hear each other even though it was very busy. Pizzas are amazing and the chocolate creme brulee is fantastic!!! Our server Justine was top notch ! Would highly recommend!

Amanda Labadie

This place is charming and quaint. The stone wood fire baked pizzas and burgers are phenomenal, the wine is even better. I reccomend dining on the patio in the summer. This would be an amazing spot to bring clients or impress the in-laws!

Kushal Anjanappa

We had a group of 9. We ordered different dishes. Their lunch menu had a good selection of pizzas as well. I would eat there again.

lars heymann

Went here for dessert, stayed for the live music, great atmosphere and friendly bar staff.

Alan Czajkowski

I HATE thin crust pizza. It always tastes burnt. Somehow they managed to pull off a 10/10 on their sausage and spinach magnificence. Best pizza l have had in a long time! Way to go. Wait staff was friendly and engaging. Didn't see the facilities but the joint seems very clean and tidy. The band was great (it was country night). We just caught the last set so it wasn't anywhere near capacity. There is parking across the street so it won't be an issue even on busy nights. We'll be back. ????

Niloofar Sanie

Excellent pizza,Excellent Service,Excellent Patio

Vianey Goyri

Great food, fantastic service. A little more variety would be nice, some of us are not big fans of fish/seafood, but what I had was really good.

Harry Keess

Food comes with reasonable amount and good flavor as well

John Lewis

Service

Graham Wilson

Had a terrible experience here. We were a group of four, travelling to niagara on the lake for wine tastings one afternoon and decided to pop in here for lunch. I ordered a pasta with a rosé sauce - and it was terrible. It tasted brutal, was cold, and just all around bad. I have never sent back food before - but this was just inedible. A woman, who looked to be one of the owners (mid 50s?) came over when I called her to take the food back- and she had the audacity to tell me that there was nothing wrong with it, and that it was probably just not up to my taste. Lady. Give me a break. I know good food and bad food. This was not good. And I’d expect a little better service considering the fact that I’m here on a slow weekday, with three other people, ordering a bottle of wine, three appetizers, four mains, and two desserts. No, I will never be back. No, I suggest people try someplace else. No, you do not know good customer service. Don’t argue with your customers - or tell them it’s their fault. Make it right.

Trevor Ottley

Lucky this place gets One star! We went last night to see Stve Goldburger and Laurel and Hulley. Entertainment was top notch. Service WAS ABISSMAL . I ordered a tomato soup that was so spicy I could hardly eat it. It was cold in the middle and tasted tinny like its been around> NO bread or even crackers or parsley decoration Most unappetizing soup I ever seen. I ordered a salad to go along with it and could tell as soon as I seen it was not fresh and soaked in a cheap oil vinaigrette dressing. So wilted .My friends ordered the pizzas which came cold and again the staff just sort of threw it on the table. We were there for three hours and were only approached once in the beginning for drinks. Really? gonna make alot of money not serving. At 11 pm the band closed down and then we had to chase down someone to pay our bill.. I could see if it was busy but there was less than 8 people at closing and we had to chase someone down for our bill. The lounge staff should get lessons on service. I hope my wife did not leave a tip as she normally does

Patrick I

I cannot recommend this restaurant as the menu was sub-par -- listed as a "Mediterranean restaurant" on Google Maps but barely anything on the menu resembling Mediterranean cuisine. Where's the fish? One item on the menu, "catch of the day", does not make this "Mediterranean", and the catch of that day was farmed Atlantic salmon ????. Pizza was good but that's not strong enough for me to recommend coming here. ???? Service was mediocre.

CHAOS DERKINDEREN

Nice patio, south facing and great service. Would recommend a visit.

Erez Zukerman

Arrived early to our reservation on a busy day, accommodated us anyway and was at the table early. Drinks we delivered fast and were made excellently. The food came out rather quick. The food itself is amazing, the flavour is just awesome, highly recommended the Sauvignon blanc pizza its just fantastic

Suzanne Liscio

This is a fine place to have dinner, especially before attending a Shaw Festival event. I loved the spaghetti.

Shireen McCleary

This is a great restaurant. The food is excellent. Pasta, pizza, and other dishes. There is a wood fired pizza oven, and the decor of an old winery is fantastic. The selection of wines is huge, from local wineries. The service is exceptional. Friendly and knowledgeable. If the weather allows, eat on the patio, or just enjoy a Glass of wine. Great place to go. Reservations recommended.

Sarah Fama

Great Pizzas

Jose Sanchez

A perfect experience. After spending the night at Great Wolf Lodge, this is exactly what these parents needed! The wood oven capricciosa was delectable. And the kids delighted in their pasta. The waitress was happy to bring sides of veggies for the kids that were not in the menu. Lovely wine and evening before coming home from the Niagara region.

Robin Spencer

We have been going to the restaurant for the excellent food. Pizza and pasta is just great. Great atmosphere, however, we just have a very unfortunate experience. I was looking forward for the gnocchi I ordered (as I do every time I go there) and the server forgot I ordered, after waiting 45 minutes for our meal. Please don't blame it on the kitchen staff, food is excellent. Just poor management. Disappointed at manager blaming the short staff in the kitchen. If you have shortage off staff, sorry, that's poor management.

Mitchell Stevens

What a great night out with friends. The food was awesome. Pizza and calamari for appetizers.The short ribs and salmon were great choices. Lana was awesome tonight. Took care of us. Highly recommended

Naomi Menezes

What an amazing place. The food is amazing. We had the Chilli Calamari as a starter and it couldn't be better. The wood oven pizzas are delicious and a perfect size (since we had the Calamari we had some left over for breakfast ????). The price is super fair (from the looks of the place you might think it will be a lot more expensive). I'll definitely go back when I visit the area again.

Sean Leung

Great food experience! I was here with my spouse for Valentine's dinner and they treated us well. The wine selection is outstanding as you'd expect. Gnocchi and rigatoni are amazing. The pizza was good also.

Walter Ego

Great food! Staff are very accommodating (we wanted a patio table but there were none left, the hostess made some adjustments and created a new table in the parking lot patio for us - covid times). Service was excellent, fast and friendly!

Randy Lagerwerf

Food is good. Watch out for the odd burnt wood on your pizza. Lamb burger is outstanding!

John Morthanos

This place was a shocker! Best thin crust pizza ever. I've had a thin pizza with sauce in Venice as an app. But this place made the pizza's on that thin crust! Amazing sauce, pepperoni, spices were excellent. Ohh and they had Guinness. We will be back.

Keven Jeffery

Food was ok... The live entertainment was great.. . But the food was not what I was used to from a few years back.

mark finan

My wife and I really love this restaurant- we visit the establishment each time we are in wine country! We always receive excellent service and excellent food - also they are very careful about their covid precautionary measures. Would definitely recommend.

Cindy Aramburo

Service great .food fantastic

Dan Hart

Amazing pizzas, great vegetarian options

Bruce MacNeil

Food was nice...Service somewhat delayed but overall we had fun

a p

We LOVE this place and come here for every family birthday or important event. The servers are always so nice, friendly and attentive. The food is SO good, everything we've had has been delicious! Fully recommend not skipping dessert and getting the creme brule!

Jeffrey A. Holdip

Wow, I had the calamari, the Caesar salad, the carbonate and the spaghetti bolognese..outstanding, and we have been to Italy. Deserts were the lemon and chocolate brulee sampler, 10 star out of 5 Lori and the young man in the kitchen. I will return.

Dave Sweetman (SweetDaddy)

Excellent wood fired oven pizzas. Fresh salads and local wines. Casual atmosphere.

Dylan Nash

Very nice ambiance. Quiet music in the background. Not too dark and not too bright. Wood fired oven for the pizza gives off a fine aroma. Melissa is friendly and helpful. She understands the wine list and can easily help if you are not familiar with the local wines. Gail had the Riesling and I had the Chardonnay (the pizzas, not the wine). Both were excellent with a nice thin crust, cooked perfectly and flavour you would expect from someone using a wood fired oven. Our wine was the local Konzelmann Chardonnay and we enjoyed it. Dry with a fruity and vibrant flavour. Overall we are very impressed. Five stars.

Kim S

Where do I start. First off, we were delayed 15-20 mins from our reservation time, and were told it was because “a lot of people wanted to dine inside tonight” by the hostess who was rude on more than one occasion before being seated. Upon arriving at our table, they had barely wiped it down, and just threw the cutlery and glasses in a grouping on the table instead of setting the table properly. We weren’t even served a glass of water for another 10-15 minutes after sitting down. The only saving grace was our server who was very accommodating and polite to us our entire night. Three of us ordered espresso martinis, and to our surprise they came half full and with ice cubes, something I’ve never experienced before. The food was subpar for being an “Italian restaurant”. The carbonara I ordered tasted more like buttered noodles than what I know to be a creamy carbonara. Not one of us particularly enjoyed our “Italian” meals, and were left very disappointed with what was supposed to be “the best” restaurant we’d be visiting that weekend.

Henry Spiteri

Lovely evening with delicious food! All staff was friendly and our waitress very amenable! We ordered a glass of wine recommended to us, calamari, shrimp & clam pasta, and beef with gnocchi and a chocolate creme brulee. Seafood was fresh, and gnocchi melted in your mouth!

Mila Rozhko

Pizza was delicious as well as the rest of the menu. I really like it.

Pablo Olivarez

Quite impressed by this restaurant. My girlfriend and I ended up ordering the Sauvignon Blanc pizza. The stone oven pizza was delicious. We also ordered a vegetarian version of the Orechiette without the beef tips. Which ended being one of the best pasta's I have had. I highly recommend both. One thing I was impressed with is the attitude of the staff. I don't normally see good customer service in most restaurants who make a mistake in orders but the communication of the staff was solid. The lady in red who I think was the hostess corrected the order that I made and personally fixed the order. Our regular waitress also apologized and explained that they also had to switch the sauce since it had beef in it to a mushroom based. The order was done just before my girlfriend and I finished the pizza. We then enjoyed the pasta which turned out great. Keep up the great customer service and food here! Gem of a find in the Niagara by the Lake area and will be back again next time we are in the area.

Laura Ciccarelli

Good food and fast service. Waitress was very snotty and short with us. However, the owner and waitstaff were polite. Good experience and would have been better with a genuinely nice waitress. They also sat us in the back corner where wait staff constantly walk close by with plates over my head. That should not be a table.

Alan Withers

Went here for a work dinner. The food was great with pretty large portions. The ambiance is nice. Their cheesecake of the day was amazing!

Sidong Wei

Nice atmosphere, the waitress was excellent, and we loved the super thin crust pizza !

Joyce Deutsch

We were with a big group of people around 20 I would say, and the service was fast, the food was great and they had a nice selection of beverages. The only reason I didn't give them 5 stars was because there was an 18% gratuity tacked on that I was made aware of before hand. The staff were very friendly and I had a great experience would definitely recommend!

Bob Privett

Good pizzas. Good customer service... Recommended...

Paul Douglas

Niagara on the lake , very nice winery and excellent fire oven pizza.

Italo Masi

The pizza does not disappoint and the service was very fast

Steve Obrien

Not a great experience. My wife's birthday dinner ruined adds to it. We were seated in their empty wine bar. Lighting was really bright, no one knew how to dim. We were unable to order the majority of wines listed, said they will update their menu next month. Finally found wine they had and was not the year on the menu way too young. They were unable to substitute meat within the paste because the chef is very particular. Everything was just so difficult, they should have let us know they were going to stick us in the back room. They didn't acknowledge my wifes birthday even when I was told they were noting it on our reservation. Premium prices without the class and service. Bad setting, ruined a special night. Will not be back.

Steven Hernden

Lovely meal, patio and service! A lovely patio with lots of space and shade. The staff was friendly and attentive. This was one of our most memorable meal during our week long visit in NOTL. Definitely would return!

Simon Pozneris

Delicious food on a scenic patio with friendly service. What more could you ask for! Wonderful place to visit.

Mila Dee

OMG! The gorgonzola gnocchi sooo yummy!! =) Can't wait to have it again!! The winery has a nice environment too!!

heather jones

Had the catch of the day and the beef burger, both were delicious! Well packaged, great service and curbside pickup was safe and easy.

Marie-Eve Boileau-Loiselle

We had a terrible experience. Arrived at around 6PM and asked to be seated on the patio. The hostess told us it was all full. Sat inside and made an order. After an hour we were still waiting for our food. We noticed that the patio was mostly empty so asked if possible to move as the air conditioning was very high. The waitress said it's not possible and that she will lower the cooling which she didn't do. After another half an hour of waiting we finally got our food which was cold and not very good. Over all a terrible experience.

Karen Elgie

Amazing food

Gee Bee

Good service. Good food. Nice place

Edith Bolduc

Had a reservation but still had to wait more than 15 minutes for our table. Food was pretty good.

Kosta Tsimiklis

Great service and located just minutes from the outlet mall. My family had the gnocchi, a burger, and two pizzas. The gnocchi was delicious, full of texture and flavour. The goat cheese was aromatic and pleasant. Goat cheese is usually too pungent for my mom but she loved it anyway! I had the “meat lover” pizza. It was tasty but a little too salty for my liking. Would come back when in the area.

Denise Juani

This was recommended to us and we are thankful for it. This was unpretentious good food in a very welcoming atmosphere. The hostess was lovely, our table on the patio was perfectly distanced and had a big umbrella for shade. Our waitress was wonderful and very helpful in guiding our wine choices. The pizza was delicious. One member of our party even mentioned this would be their go-to regular pizza if we were local. I wish the pizza was a more doughy type instead of thin crust (you could taste the wood-oven more this way). The ingredients were fresh and my mushroom pizza tasted like heaven. Dessert was amazing. We saw them disinfect other tables thoroughly. Great experience!

Frank Caruso

Loved this restaurant. It's got an outdoor patio as well. Very good friendly service and everything we ordered was so good! Must try- Calamari - it was fried to perfection (not over done and rubbery) Prosicutto wrapped chicken with mushroom risotto - the risotto was uh so delicious Their pizza is the best I've ever had. The crust is handmade and thin and crusty amd their base sauce was too good! Will definitely love to visit again!

James Tokarz

Good pizza. Great service.

Roberta Walker

Excellent food.. great service

Carl Wentzel

Picked up take out - catch of the day (salmon). Very friendly staff, good Covid rules, and the food was excellent.

Kili Man

The food was fantastic at The Old Winery Restaurant. Our table of four shared the calamari and meatballs - both very tasty. I had the gnocchi with added chicken (amazing). And my friends had the prosciutto wrapped chicken/risotto and two different wood fired pizzas. Everyone was very happy with their meals. Service was very good and the restaurant seemed to be very on top of their game dealing with Covid (screening questions at the door, vaccine check and sanitization of the tables). Would definitely recommend.

Colin

My husband and I just had our Wedding Dinner at The Old Winery last evening September 11th!! We are absolutely thrilled...Monique and staff truly made it the most memorable experience for us!!! Food was absolutely perfection and our Server was just amazing throughout !!! We will be back...often!!! Thank you The Brethauers

A. Ramsey

Dinner

Namrata Singh

Great food and drinks! Went for a work trip and they comfortably handled 18 of us tonight. I had the Cabarnet pizza and a whiskey sour and recommend both

Margaret Hughes

Excellent as always. Lamb chop outstanding. My wife had the trout it was also excellent. Service was awesome. Thanks

Jamie Tokarz

Terrible customer service here. Waitress was unable to accommodate our medical requirement and had no apology. Instead, was rude and simply told us we would have to go somewhere else. Will never go here again.

Tammy S

Good food, service and atmosphere

I have been to the Old Winery Restaurant twice and have had good experiences both times. The restaurant is beautiful and has a lovely ambiance. Prices are also quite reasonable for Niagara on the Lake. One disappointment that I did experience on my last visit was with regard to their only non-wheat pasta item. My sister in law, who is allergic to wheat and dairy ordered the quinoa pasta and was very disappointed with the quality of the sauce, which she said tasted like it came out of a can. As for my order of pizza, it was of course fantastic.

James R

Food tastes fine, but feel like they're using the wrong kind of dough for a wood sired pizza oven. Resulted in a super thin crust that was a bit burnt, and I do like things with a bit of "flavour", but wasn't 100% sure how I felt about it really. Wouldn't likely recommend to family/friends since there are so many options in the area.

Thanh Tu

It was good. Busy place.

KIm Schairer

A decent lunch stop. Excellent butternut squash soup. Pizza was flavorful and perfectly cooked with crispy thin crust from the wood oven.

Studio Admin

Highly recommend the pizzas here! The crust is very thin and crispy, the cheese and toppings are right on, I have not taste such good pizzas in a while. (And they are very reasonably priced as well)

Tim Tapp

Amazing food, good service, great quality and quantity for the price.

Joey Jackson

Great food and fair prices! I've never had a bad experience at the Old Winery, and with its diverse menu and great staff it's one of my 'go to' spots in NOTL.

Lynda Doughty

Best experience! Best wood fried oven pizza!

Ken James Stewart

I entered the restaurant to get a table for 4 of my friends and I, and there was a family of 4 already there waiting to be seated. The hostess came over and she had them seated first, which was the right thing to do as they were there first. By the time the hostess came back to the front of restaurant, two ladies had come in the front door, and the hostess greeted them first and had them seated, without giving me any eye contact. This frustrated me a little, as you can imagine with the already slow service. Another couple of minutes pass by, and another lady comes in the front door, and same thing happens; the hostess doesn't even look at me, and seats her first. Only after seating her, she comes over and speaks to me, probably because by that time I'm the only customer waiting. I don't know if it's because I'm Asian, and everyone else there were Caucasian, or if it is because she just isn't able to grasp the concept of priority. The waitress for our table was kind, but the service as others have mentioned was very slow. And it took about 40 minutes for the food to arrive from the time we ordered it. Giving 2 stars instead of 1 star because the food was actually not bad.

Amy F

It was a lovely sunny day, but with a lot of wind. We came with friends to this restaurant for lunch. We were greeted by a very unpleasant and angry woman, with a face as if I had come to her home without an invitation and did something very bad. Anyway, we were offered a table in the sun, without an umbrella, explaining that the wind is very strong and it is impossible to put additional umbrellas, because the wind blows them away. It was too hot to sit under the scorching sun, so we said that we would wait until the table under the umbrella was free. The woman said very angrily "okay wait" rolled her eyes and quickly left. 2 minutes later, she brings a group of people who were in line behind us to the same table that was offered to us (without an umbrella and without the ability to put an umbrella) .... And do you know what she does? PUTS THE UMBRELLA. just like that, right in front of us. But her insolence does not end there. Several minutes pass (we stood in the same place and waited for the car to leave from there) and this woman, rushing past us, casually throws on the run "Oh, the table under the umbrella has just been vacated. Do you want it?" Can you imagine? I am simply discouraged by this blatant arrogance and rudeness. Such people should be prohibited from working in the service sector. The restaurant wasn't even packed! There was no rush at all! You cannot justify this behaviour with anything other than the personal attitude. The owners should urgently change staff. A picture of this employee is attached for the owner's reference.

Travis Barsy

The food was delicious and the service was great!

D Richard

Amazing food and environment. I certainly recommend it.

Marie Phillips

Food was great. The patio, was nice but it was a bit too hot. Because of Covid-19 it's the only place to sit. The staff were great.

Patrick

It seems to be somehow unique, but every time we are visiting this restaurant always delivers satisfaction Thanks,

Deanna Kruschke

Great food and good wine selection with some of the most reasonable prices in NOTL. Our families from young to old love Old Winery and it's almost our go-to place where everyone can eat and eat well. Wood-burning oven makes the pizzas here incredible. Recommend to reserve in advance as wait time take too long when busy. They certainly don't rush you. The patio is a nice space as well.

Alanna Macaulay

Really excellent mushroom pizza; thin crust, great flavours. Good ambience for a large space. Best of all, plenty of free parking ... a commodity to have in NOTL!

Michael Skrtich

Exceptional place and I appreciate that it used to be a winery. The food was delicious, I had the pepperoni pizza and the beet salad which were both great. The pizza here is very thin crusted so you don't feel so bad after eating the pizza which is always good. We had the lindt creme brulé and it was amazing. I would recommend that dessert since it is a popular one there. There is parking but if you go during the busy times it tends to fill up fast. Waiters were polite and atmosphere was great. I would recommend this place to anyone visiting the area looking for good food.

Sugars

I went with a couple girlfriends here for lunch. Great spot! Would recommend. 15 min walk to downtown Niagara On The Lake. No view of the water like I expected, but all the food was great and the service was really good!

Danielle Hay

Very pleasant server and the food was hot and tasty

Amanda C

Great service, so friendly and helpful. The food was delicious. Highly recommended.

Anthony Viresi

One of the best pizzas i have ever had. It was an excellent establishment. Unfortunately our waiter was impressed with us and it made the experience less enjoyable as he was quite rude and ignorant.

James Desjardins

Service and employees were awesome. Food not so great. Very dry undercooked pasta. Very disappointed.

FCR NP

Very popular restaurant with excellent pizzas and pasta dishes. Good wine and beer selection . Good value. Friendly atmosphere.

Erica

Food was delicious!!! We had the antipasto and pizza with a very nice Ontario wine. Burger was tasty and massive. Prices are very reasonable. Our waiter was amazing. Very nice outdoor patio seating with plenty of shade. Will definitely be back.

Phil McVilo

Bad experience..my husband and I drove by today and saw the old Winery Restaurant. We decide to go in and have dinner. Everyone looked friendly and welcoming. We let the hostess know that we did not have a reservation she immediately said they do not have any open tables for two...she offered us to sit at the bar for dinner..my husband was not ok with that..so we decided to leave the restaurant...then the hostess said she found a table...in the mean time there were almost 10 to 15 tables for two unoccupied. She took us way back almost at the worst section of the restaurant where there was very loud noise and table was located directly at a large window..it was cold and very uncomfortable... The food was not worth the money ..they gave us our dinner and did not care to offer fresh pepper or fresh cheese over my pasta dinner..not even a dinner roll.. Over all experience was horrible. Dinner cost us almost $135.00 and was not worth it. We felt like we were treated that way because we might have not fitted in with the culture. Sad..we will never recommend this restaurant nor will we ever go back.

Jason P

Very yummy food. Pinot pizza was made to perfection. It was thin crust and the wood oven gave it another dimension ($19). Organic beef burger is amazing with the doubled smoked bacon, smoked cheese and caramelized onions($18). Thanks chefs. The red wine was a bit over priced thought. 9 oz local Jackson Triggs Merlot red wine ($14.60)!

Kathy Rousseau

Very enjoyable lunch! Hostess was great as were the wait staff. My husband and I shared 2 different pizzas and wine. Will definitely return in the future

Shawn

Fresh food great staff AMAZING PIZZA!!!!! Call for reservation ahead of time though. Lots going on here all the time and they do fill up on weekends if your looking for quiet place maybe go on a Monday or Tuesday

Ann Camlasaran

Mediocre food. Painfully slow service. Painfully slow food. Stale bread. We waited at least an hour between our appetizers and our mains. Server was kind but was clearly covering too many tables to be able to provide adequate service. My meal was pathetic and overpriced. Overcooked quinoa noodles with pesto and a tiny number of jarred sliced sun-dried tomatoes and picked eggplant. Not worth it. My friends enjoyed their food but likely because we were all overly hungry at that point. This is my second visit here and definitely my absolute last.

Susan Azevedo

Our waitress was amazing. Limited menu but all the food was great. We especially enjoyed the live entertainment Elton Lammie!! Fantastic musician. We will be back to see him again!!

Nancy Bridges

Bonnie was a hit great to deal with

Carolyn Lammers

Great food and service. The ambiance was excellent and would come here again!

Sue Cane

Rustic exterior dinning with modern updates inside including service bar and open kitchen. Staff are friendly, patient and knowledgeable. Wide array of food options enticing you to return and vast selection of local wines. If reserving a table outdoors in advance be sure to arrive early as the staff do their best to accommodate high demand with albeit limited seating. Good for a dinner date night, a night out with friends or just drinks while also very family friendly.

William John

On the positive, service was courteous, their pizza is really good - very thin crust and very tasty (we tried a few), chicken with mushroom risotto was also good. But, unfortunately, their Aperol was REALLY bad - tasted like orange coloured soda water. It seemed like there was no Prosecco or Aperol at all in that drink. I mean if I pay $15 for a drink that has only one version (that’s why it’s called Aperol Spritz) it should taste like one! Also their calamari appetizer was completely tasteless - overbreaded and no salt.

E R

Good food. Good service. Feels clean and safe.

Cathy Espinoza

In my opinion it's the best pizza in the Niagara region. Good selection of drinks as well which is important for some of us too.

Eyeless Max

Great restaurant, love the food. Delicious pizzas and the pork chop is very good. Highly recommended. Maybe addind a little seafood items as appetizers would make it better, but all things considered it's a great restaurant.

Marie Correia

Went there before visiting the falls, lovely staff and great food. Recommend any of the pizzas (and the chef's home made chilies)

Bruce Robb

The food should have been charged more, it is simply amazing and delicious. It is a crime to charge that less

Alfredo Sosa

Huge variety of wines! Pizza made in a wood oven, delish. Sit out on the patio if there’s space!

James Linn

Great food. Awesome service. We have been here a few times and enjoyed it every time.

Cathy Cowley

We ordered a pizza and some wine at the bar. It was a perfect size to split between two people.

effie konnaris

Our party of 6 had lunch yesterday before we started our bike rides. The weather was perfect for our patio seating the host and staff were very friendly and patient as we decided on drinks to celebrate multiple birthdays. The cesar salad and fish of the day was incredible. It was pan seared salmon with pesto angel hair pasta, black olives and sundried tomatoes. It was incredible! They were so accommodating as I needed to chill a small cake I made for the birthday girls. We will be back again!

Polina R

Amazing food at fair prices and a very attractive interior. Our calamari appetizer was delicious and a surprisingly generous portion. My entree of veal parmesan was expertly prepared, sizable, and very flavourful. My wife's pizza was hand tossed, very thin, and made with fresh and tasty ingredients. We had cherry crumble with ice cream for dessert and it was just incredible. Nice wait staff although it was a little hard to get their attention. Overall an exceptional restaurant with wonderful food.

Meghan Gervais

Very nice Pasta and specially we liked Carrot cake

Maria S

Food was amazing! We love the pizza and the gnocchi! It was delicious and the patio it’s nice and cozy

Jono C

Great beer selection and perfect outdoor setting during the summer!

Danny Cheung

Great location just outside the main strip in niagraonthe lake. Service and prices are very good and not pretentious. Wood oven pizza was very thin and not burned, wine list is very reasonable with lots of local choices.

Dingo Warrior

Delicious food, cozy.... I like it.

Ishar Sidhu

Dropped by on a whim and a strong recommendation and was not disappointed. Great social distancing and sanitizing in place. It was a dinner for one sort of evening. Friendly attentive staff. Quite pleased with my pasta and wine selection. Great food and reasonable prices... see you again, Old Winery!

Kevin Houser

Good food and wine. Price is right. Good service. Highly recommended.

Jim Hamm

Good food, good service, nice atmosphere.

Dwight Beaton

Google reviews had this as 4.8 stars which is what sold me on it in the first place. I'd say it's close to 3 and a half. Food was just ok. Service too. Gnocchi was a bit salty. If you're looking for dinner, it's fine. But if you're looking for a dining experience go elsewhere.

Guy Schmidt

Lovely, spacious rooms. Well balanced and interesting menu offered with friendly service. Well chosen wine menu that showcases local wines. Try the pizza!

Richard Nie

overpriced food for what you get. pretentious type place. when asked for steak sauce on the side, she said we don't do that. I overheard another guest with a kid ask for no sauce on their spaghetti and meatballs because their little girl does not like marinara sauce and she had to check with the chef. As if that could not be an option. the steak that came was a 4 inch block which of course because of the thickness was impossible to cook consistently through. then their was 5 baby potatoes and 5 shrivelled beans and a piece of cabbage the size of a quarter. very disappointed. my dessert was a thin square slice of cheese cake with oreo crumbled near it and then a smear of raspberry sauce. basically a deconstructed dessert. Wine list was nice. I feel this place is better suited as a bar where you can have drinks and listen to a piano (if they had one) and socialize.

Jurgita Bernatavičiūtė

Our second time here, food was much better in my memory. Had the braised short rib and pappardelle, chewy and under seasoned beef, blend pasta sauce, pizza was alright, calamari was ok. We came early at 4:30 pm for dinner, restaurant was half full, nobody came to greet or acknowledge our pressence for a good 10min. Will not come back again.

Егор Т

Service is very good and food is very good too????

Barb Rysdale

Amazing experience amazing food. Will definitely be back

clay sutherland

A very good restaurant. We had a large group. Food delicious. Service terrific. Bathroom playing Italian lessons. Gorgeous building on the inside. Relatively accessible but the washrooms need door openers.

D Bridg

Had a great lunch here on the way in to Niagara-on-the-lake! Everything was great - the pizza, the pasta, and the salad. They have a fantastic wine selection (including some ice wines, which you should definitely try) and a decent beer selection as well.

ED PR

It is unfortunate how the quality of food and service at the Old Winery has declined over the last few years. No quality check. No support from management or support staff. Over cooked dry and not flavourful burger. This used to be a favourite location. I thought it might be better today, but I was sadly disappointed. Hopefully management, FOH and BOH, finds their passion and love of food and service again.

Atakan Sevilen

Outstanding! We just arrived in town and stopped in not knowing what a treat we were in for. Delicious food, great service, great wine list.

Robert Scrillati

Awesome place! Great atmosphere, inside and out-the building is over 100 years old and our waiter was one of the most entertaining and hospitable I have had in a long time. A very enjoyable experience!

RF

Best Wood Oven Pizza I have ever had. The ambiance of the restaurant was 10/10. Perfect place for a date or dine out with family/friends. They have the best pizza and salad options. Everyone in the restaurant was welcoming and friendly …

Andrew Richardson

Very decent place in Niagara were the pasta and pizza are deli. Very cozy as well. Totally recommended for large groups.

Tiffany Chan

One of our local places that we love. This time we got the chardonnay, Riesling and Gnocchi in cream sauce and all were superb. The location, staff, flavours and price are all superb. Get ready to make reservations now.

Cyndy Rathbun

Don't make people wait 15 minutes at the door, only to tell them: "We are sitting reservations only." Meanwhile, the party in front of us were walk-ins.

Ko Kwan Hee

Ambiance - 3/5, lighting on patio was too dark, could barely see the food or each other Service - 4/5, great server, however one of our appetizers (Meatballs, 3 of them...) took longer than any other dish to come out Food/Price - 1/5, menu prices are quite high with lacking food quality ($20 shrimp pasta that did not taste fresh, $18 dollar calamari that had very little seasoning, $12 Caesar that tasted basic and with little to no garnish) Overall, it was very underwhelming. If you're going to charge such high prices (even during COVID) you should provide your guests with much better food and comfortable lighting on the patio. If someone asked where to eat in this area, I'd recommend The Pie Plate (homemade pizza and pies) instead. Not as fancy, but the food is much better with more reasonable prices.

Lynn B

This is a fantastic little place to dine when in NOTL. I always enjoy getting the thin crust pizza.

Adam De Bartolo

Called at 8pm said they didn't take pick up orders till 8:30 ok no problem. called at 9pm said kitchen was too busy, so ok will not call again. Thank you!

Doug Short

Love it here. We have been coming occassionally for over 10 years and never been disappointed. Well maybe once but out of their control...

David Hutchison

Very classy and Elegant place , perfect for a date . Food was amazing even the pizza is great. my wife loves It . Were addicted and counting. Days to go back . Also staff and services was great . Also not to expensive

Julia Lippert

Food and wine selections excellent and or course serving local wines! All the food was very very good! We had a pizza and a pasta with beef tips it was delicious!

Lynette

Amazing food! The Lindt crème brulee is a must try. Lovely ambiance, quick and friendly service ???? Really enjoyed our meal here.

Michael Coyle

Excellent services!

Randy LeBrasseur

Amazing food, especially the pizza. Service is wonderful. It's a large, lively restaurant which is great for people watching. Also, when we were there on a Friday there was great live music which started at about 9pm.

Andrew Mott

Remarkable service. Extremely unremarkable food.

Aimie Wong

Excellent dinner and Italian food, this was an amazing surprise to find this level of quality for pasta and pizza. The restaurant is a very good Italian Bistro type, established in an old winery no longer in activity. The dishes are very well developed and very tasty, service is excellent and ambiance very warm and friendly. I highly recommend to anyone who are seeking a good experience! (Come before 09h00PM because people seams to dine early and restaurant close early during week days)

Karan Rajpal

Lovely food, delicious thin crust wood oven pizza, comfortable and friendly service, cozy ambience. It's cold today but they do have a nice patio. Plenty of choices for vegetarians. A gluten free pasta option. Vegan options could be improved. Overall a lovely meal.

Vince Steenburgh

Fabulous food. Pizza is amazing!!! Occhetti with beef tips are mouth watering Staff is great. Excellent wine selection Overall the value for price is well worth it.

Hannah Glauber

Love this place. They have a bar area with a great selection of wine & pizzas (and other choices). Fantastic live music on the weekend. The restaurant side is also very nice with a different menu. Great food and ambiance.

Aye P

Bright modern decor. Wood fire pizzas plus a full menu. Great !

harshal pansare

We had their tomato soup and caesar salad which were both really good. Then we had the special which was pan seared salmon on a bed of linguini and red sauce. We also had the bbqs chicken pizza. Both entrees were very good. The service was great! I highly recommend this restaurant!!

maxbassful

If you love wood-fired pizza, this is where to go! My favorite is the Chardonnay (all their pizzas are named after wines!) and service is bubbly! We now make it a thing to always stop here when we visit NOTL.

Luis Arruti

Good food, good service. Nice patio!

Mario Germana

Good food...nice place and awesome server! Justine was an awesome waitress!!

bdelgaty

Old winery restaurant was pretty good. I had the gnocchi and calamari. Would go back. Limited on the non meat dishes.

Evelyn Neumann

We had a great take out meal a couple of weeks ago. The short ribs were tender and tasty, the Cesar salad was a very generous portion and the grilled chicken also excellent. I would recommend the Lindt Chocolate Creme Brule. I could have eaten two of them! We'll be back fore more over the winter, that's for sure.

Jayson Osmars

Pizza and pasta were good, good wine selection too. Prices very reasonable. Went here for dinner after a day of wine tours with some friends and definitely recommend it if in the area. Chocolate mousse was amazing too!

Hayley Pearlman

Very delicious food. I came with a big group. We had reservations. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. The food was great and the atmosphere here was fantastic. Definitely worth a visit. :)

Gang Hu

This is the Pinot, apparently you don’t receive the arugula on the pizza, although nowhere is it said so. Called and spoke to the very rude manager , who was of no assistance. 10/10 would not recommend, simply because of the horrible help and subpar pizza

Lauren Bourque

We loved this place! What a lovely dining experience. Old Winery has tables set up outside the restaurant to accommodate more customers during covid. The view from outside was amazing. The ambiance was so relaxing and my fiancé and I were able to have a very romantic dinner. The food was so good! We had the gnocchi and orechiette pasta. They were so flavorful and tasty. Our waiter Luis was so friendly and very kind. Will absolutely visit again!

dsp108

The food here was delicious. There were a few vegetarian options beyond the usual pasta. The staff were safe and all had PPE. The tables were spread out enough and it felt comfortable being on the patio. I recommend making a reservation as it was quite busy on a Saturday evening.

Sally

The taste and quality of the food was really good. However, I found the portions to be a bit lacking as I felt a tad unsatisfied at the end for the amount of food we ordered (2 pizza's, 2 entree's, and an appetizer for 4 adults). The pizza toppings were not spread out uniformly so there was quite a few bites of just dry dough as well. Good flavors to the pizza, just wished they had spread out the toppings evenly.

Lolu Adegun

Amazing wine and literally the fastest service I've ever seen! Our pizzas and pasta were out in like 10 minutes, all absolutely delicious!

Rudi Andre

Great food and ambiance! Staff is very friendly too.

Steven Hall

This was awesome food was amazing

Martin Whyte

Beautiful menu and excellent service. The wood fired pizza is one of our personal favorites. As is the Lidnt creme brulee for dessert.

Eric LEMAY

We thought we'd treat ourselves to a patio meal so decided to go to the old winery. The service and our meals were very good. Our waitress wore her mask protecting us. We wore our masks whenever she came over to us to protect her. All of the other wait staff were wearing masks. This was awsome and we will return. Keep up the great work ????

Greg Pakula

Always great food and service!

Andrea Meinen

Delicious pizza and burger. I would go back.

Diana Battista

Great selection of local wines, wood fired pizza oven, great music on Saturday night

Lise Schnierle

Lovely ambience and atmosphere. The menu is limited with dairy free and vegetarian options but substitutions were accommodated.

Daniella S

We came here for a work party and it was awesome. The food was super good. I was really impressed with the coordination of how the food was brought out. And they were very organized. My husband and I will definitely come back here for dinner again.

Antiques on Creek, Virgil, On. Straker

Excellent food and service

Kenneth Phillip

Great food for not a crazy price. Would definitely recommend

Matthew McGregor

Great food and ambiance. The staff are friendly and welcoming. We go there as family and everyone enjoy the food. Our usual items are pizza, pasta and burger. The soup is really nice.

Glenda Hall

Amazing wood oven pizza and nice atmosphere. I'm sure the patio would be beautiful in the summer

Todd Sanders

The food and service was excellent. I highly recommend this restaurant. You got to eat here show . Should visit this place.

Sel Scalzi

Took a while to get our table even though we had a reservation, but overall good service, food was pretty good. The catch of the day salmon with chowder was probably the best cooked fish I've had at a restaurant. Pasta dishes were pretty yummy as well.

Ian Castor

Delicious pasta! Quaint area and beautiful restaurant. They know what they're doing ????

Natasha Marangoni

Excellent food. Inviting staff and atmosphere. Didn't break the bank. 5 stars. Would return!

Theresa Eagles

Great service and really good food Great experience!

Michael Moore

Try their Lindt chocolate cream and Riesling pizza

Haydn Kirby

Really good pizza with gluten free options as well. Their wine was tasty and their coffee was delicious. The only reason i gave them 4 star is that they stopped us from leaving and asked for a correction payment because they forgot to add taxes to the amount charged on the credit card.

Rose MacCannell

Food was delicious.

Matthew G.

Ordered pizza and salad for dinner. Excellent, by far the best we've had in town.

Henry Pinkney

Always awesome food, service, and atmosphere. Reasonable prices for their dishes and wines compared to other restaurants. Staff have always been great.
