GAETANO'S RESTAURANT REVIEWS
The hubby and I were hungry for Italian and were in the area of Gaetano’s. There was a wait for others but the bar had some seats open and also has a full menu so we sat there. Our waitress/bar tender was Stephanie, such a welcoming gal and enjoyed her company. The bread and olive oil seasoning they bring you was amazing, I ordered the lasagna and wow it was a huge serving, my husband ordered the chicken parmigiana. We loved the environment and food. Would definitely check this restaurant out again. Give it a try You won’t be disappointed.
The ambiance of this place is so nice, the lighting, the heaters and just all around is a nice date spot. The food is pretty good, portions and pricing are actually pretty good. We had food for dinner and leftovers. There was a little issue with our order but Madie and the manager went above and beyond to help and it was greatly appreciated.
We were on the way back and came out as #1 recommended place. Amazing environment (casual and family focused) flavours were nice and portions were good..

SCARDINO'S ITALIAN RESTAURANT REVIEWS
I usually have dinner at this wonderful Italian restaurant. The Risotto Fileto di Manzo was a highlight, featuring a perfect fillet mignon paired with creamy risotto. The Linguine Pescatore, a seafood pasta, was equally impressive, showcasing a delightful blend of flavors. The servers were attentive, enhancing the overall dining experience, and the atmosphere added a touch of warmth to the evening. Highly recommended for those seeking a taste of authentic Italian cuisine in a delightful setting.
It’s a smaller Italian place, but nice atmosphere and great food! Our family had pizza and it was amazing!!! Seemed very authentic and good service. We would definitely come back for the pizza.
Local italian restaurant with the best food. 30 min wait on a Saturday night at 6 pm so not bad at all. Service was good and nice people on the team. Second time there and will bring my family back.

ALIOTTA’S VIA FIRENZE REVIEWS
Our last hurrah before we return to the U.K. we were recommended to come here and we weren’t disappointed. The risotto was creamy but not too heavy. The focaccia was light and the olive oil was a perfect accompaniment. All the pasta was tasty and full of flavour. It was a great evening and a great way to end our vacation.
This restaurant is amazing! Chef Mike has been a supporter of Race for RP since the beginning and we are grateful for him. He has a true talent with his dishes and I enjoyed every single one! Thanks to Chef Mike, Juan, and Tony for an amazing experience.
The linguine vongole is superb! And the grilled mushroom appetizer! The meatball with the mustard sauce takes a little adjustment. Service very friendly and attentive.
