SPEEKEZZIES CAFE & WINE BAR REVIEWS

Had the medium rare steak and the chocolate crepe… wow! Both were superb. Never been there before and I have no idea why it took me so long, but boy this was really wonderful experience. Terrific service and a really lovely atmosphere. Thank you again. Great meal.

AL DENTE PIZZA PASTA & GRILL REVIEWS

It's a slice of perfection. From the moment you step in, the aroma of freshly baked crust tantalizes your senses. Each bite is a symphony of flavors, with perfectly balanced sauce, cheese, and toppings. The atmosphere is cozy, inviting you to linger over another slice or two. And the service is great. In short, it's the kind of place that keeps you coming back for more, making every visit feel like a delicious adventure. This pizza is unreal and fresh.

Charming little spot on King George! We stopped in to Al Dente on a whim for dinner. We sat on the patio, which is unlike any I've seen in the area. We enjoyed some pizza and wine. The food and drinks were great. The service was great. The staff were so warm and welcoming. We will definitely be back.

Food here is delicious and prepared how we asked for it. Service was prompt and very friendly. Very nice atmosphere, it was nice and quiet and we were in a group of eight. If you like Italian/ Mediterranean, you should come here if you are close.

GRAN SASSO RESTAURANT REVIEWS

Today we had Dinner here and we had a great experience! The ambiance, the food, the service was the best Highly recommended , we will be back soon for sure . The prices so affordable and service was very very kindly and great.

One of the best Italian restaurants in the city, one of the friendliest staff I have ever interacted with. Food is far from good, it’s amazing. The place is really pretty and unique style and atmosphere.

A nice little hidden gem in Brantford! The Wild Boar Pasta followed by a fresh Strawberry and Lemon gelato was a great way to top off a fantastic evening.
