   We were a group of eight and we were place in a lovely alcove which was more private and quiet. The service and the atmosphere were perfect. A great evening.

   Great food and great service, but the ambience is very modest. Overall, highly recommend it but if you are looking to impress your guest, pick a place with better decor/ambience.

   We came on the recommendation of my friend’s daughter and it didn’t disappoint. We had the bread with olive oil and salt, shrimp salad and lemon tart. Everything was tasty and the salad was super fresh! We will definitely return!

   Great service -- hostess and wait staff were attentive and efficient. My only complaint was the noise level, but that's not the resto's fault. We'll be back!

   I took my team for a holiday lunch and the food was not good at all. "Warm bread" was cold and stale and the rest was mediocre at best. Of a group of 7 only 2 were satisfied with the apps and entrées. It was costly and abizmal holiday event which was expensive for what it was. I would never go back or recommend this restaurant to anyone.

   The restaurant was nice. We had great service. The entrees were great. We ordered the burrata for an appetizer. The menu said it came with crostini but instead it came with 3 skinny bread straws. Burrata needs to be spread on bread. This was not ideal. However, overall, we had a great time.

   This was our first visit to Cantina, and found it a wonderful dining experience. We were long-time customers of the original Toronto St. location, and were very happy to find so many delicious memories here. Even the Primitivo was there, and very much as remembered and enjoyed. The carbonara was the best I have had in a very long time. Only the noise level was a bit of a challenge, although this seems normal these days. We’ll be back!

   Beautiful environment with lovely food and drinks. The large windows gave us the ability to people watch. Very nice experience.

    Not impressed with the food. The pizza was an oversized pita with cheap ingredients - mozzarella was sub par. The carbonara dish had way tougher much pepper and the raw egg on top was cold. Keep your eggs out so they come to room temperature. We didn’t even have time to eat our appetizer and the mains were already served. Not impressed with the wait staff’s demeanour either. Never returning.
