Restaurants near Merivale Centennial Arena

Went to this restaurant for a date. Upon arrival, the waitress was very kind and got us seated fairly quickly. The ambiance and atmosphere of the place was magnificent and gave a very romantic mood. I have to say, the lighting was very dim but in a good way that gave the perfect vibe for the date to set the mood. We were seated at a small table which included a real burning candle and a rose which smelled amazing. Although the tables are very close together and the noise level was fairly loud when we arrived, it was still a great mood and experience overall. The music which played in the background was R&B. As for the food, I had the Spaghetti Pomodoro and my date had the Spaghetti Meatballs. We were not disapointed with the quality of the food and the price. The food tastes fantastic and the prices are just right. Our waitress was also very attentive and consistently refilled our waters and took our orders for dinner and dessert at the right times. Overall, Cantina Gia is a fantastic restaurant for a romantic evening with that special someone. It does not disappoint.

Great place! The ambiance was beautiful, and everything looked fabulous. The food was of excellent quality, and the dessert and tea were exceptional. I’ll definitely go again!

It's impossible to choose your meal at Joey - everything is amazing. I struggle to go with my favourites or go with something new on the menu. Service as always is impeccable. Ambiance is first rate!

Dinner was fantastic! Chris, our waiter, was attentive and thoughtful. He took great care of us, and as we were celebrating my husband's birthday early, they were kind enough to bring dessert (on the house) with a birthday card.Everything was top-notch. The food was delicious, the drinks were perfect!

Food was great. Appetizer, main and dessert. I was full but not too full. I had the arancini but also sampled the short rib and the duck. Tres leche tiramisu cake was delicious. We were there before it got busy so the noise level was rising by dessert. Coat check was a nice touch. Service attentive and professional.
