    Phenomenal meal - completely surpassed even my highest expectations. Excellent, top notch service that was the perfect amount of attentive and professional that was never disruptive but always available. The signature tasting menu is incredible and a testament to the chefs’ vision and heritage, and both the premium and the classic wine pairings are not to be missed with their thoughtful craftsmanship and creativity. Elements such as the eel gelato were new to my family and myself, however I have never been so thankful that I put my trust in the chefs. I truly cannot recommend highly enough.

    Alioli is one of my favourite restaurants and possibly the best place to eat in Mississauga. The food is delicious, high quality, and well suited to my Italian taste buds. The service is friendly and whether you’re celebrating a birthday (like I was) or just having a romantic or fun night out, they know how to make you feel special. Thank you Alioli for another wonderful night!
