IL FORNELLO AJAX REVIEWS
My husband and I hosted our rehearsal dinner at iL Fornello in the beginning of August and Nikki was a dream to work with. Planning our rehearsal dinner was by far one of the easiest wedding tasks we had to accomplish and it was all thanks to Nikki in the pre-planning but also to the rest of the team at iL Fornello on the day of our dinner. The food was delicious and the service was impeccable. The assistant manager and server that were assigned to our dinner were so attentive to our needs. If you ever need a restaurant to host a private dinner, please consider iL Fornello because you will not forget it.
Really enjoyable Italian restaurant. I had the meatball pizza. My wife tried the vegan lasagna. Both were very tasty! A great place to visit when in Ajax.
Fantastic food, a wonderful server and relaxing atmosphere. We had an amazing meal!

CASA VERDE RESTAURANT REVIEWS
OMG I highly recommend this restaurant. We had the best food and the best service we have ever had. We met the owner who has been in business for 32 years along with her daughter they are beautiful people. I would highly recommend this Italian restaurant.
First time at Casa Verde and loved it ! Food was excellent (and hot) , the service was impeccable and friendly. Enjoyed the atmosphere and the banter with the family who own and operate the restaurant. Will definately return and can't wait to use their charming patio in warmer months.
Amazing italian cuisine, pleasant staff and quaint decor - Casa Verde is perfect if you’re looking for a restaurant for date night.

AUNTY'S RECIPE REVIEWS
Delicious food and staff are very attentive and have a super nice atmosphere. The owner is so kind and provides exceptional service. Plus it’s all at an affordable price. I can totally recommend it and will definitely come back again.
Aunty's recipe is our go to for pizza, always delicious and tastes fresh. We love trying new things here but the Spivak Mazda is delicious! The owners are also sweet and this place is a gem.
What great service. We called the evening before to coordinate our son's birthday and the staff at Auntie's recipe really accommodated us. We were able to book tables, and order our food ahead of time. Food was great, and the atmosphere was very comforting and relaxed. The customer service was exceptional and am definitely going to go back not only for parties but for regular walk-ins.
