BORN AND RAISED REVIEWS

We went for our anniversary. It was excellent. I've been to all the great new spots in Hamilton and this is as good as any. I had the steak, it was absolutely delicious. The service was very attentive and the ambiance was warm and laid back. A great spot and will return for the pizza next time.

Great food! I had the rigatoni bolognese and really enjoyed it. I also tried the Margherita pizza which was fabulous as well. I will definitely return if I'm in Hamilton again.

Had such a great time here! The food was amazing - so fresh and tasty. Our server John was awesome, super friendly and really took care of us. The atmosphere was fun and comfortable, which made the whole night even better.

BACI RISTORANTE REVIEWS

5-star restaurant! Amazing food! We just ordered room service because I have a disability that I can’t sit too long. This was our anniversary dinner and the food and portions were amazing. Thank you for making our dinner as special as it could be. I will for sure recommend this restaurant and hotel. We stayed here the night of our wedding and were never disappointed.

Been to Baci many times and as always the food is amazing and very generous portions. Our server Adriana was very pleasant and friendly and always smiling. She was very helpful with the menu and recommendations. Thanks, Baci for another good night out with friends.

Have been here many times and not once have we been let down. The food, the service and the atmosphere are all amazing. The portions are huge, you will not leave hungry. This is clearly a hidden gem for those of us lucky enough to have gone in, this is not your typical hotel restaurant, this is Italian food at it's finest. Do yourself a favour and start off with one of their Stomboli's you will thank me.

LA SPAGHETT PASTA HOUSE REVIEWS

I am always impressed by dinner at La Spaghett! Their gluten free pasta is excellent. I also appreciate how every sauce is made to order and completely customizable — although with so many options in the menu, I think everyone can find something they like! Fantastic service, good wine menu, and lots of dessert options.

Great, friendly service. Food was delicious and complimentary bread and garlic butter was a nice touch. The food came out quick and hot. I'd recommend booking a reservation a few days before as they get pretty busy.

Wonderful experience! My husband, daughter and I went last night and were blown away by the quality of the food. All fresh ingredients, very flavourful, and the portion sizes were plentiful. Will definitely go again.
