Pizzeria Italia Restaurant — Restaurant in Barrie

This was my first time at this restaurant. My bf had been here in the past so we thought we would give it a try. The decor could definitely use an update and it could have been a little cleaner. There was only one other customer and we were there at dinner time. Pizza take out seems to be their main business as the phone was quite busy with pizza orders. I ordered pasta with caesar salad and my bf ordered pizza. Our server was very friendly and served us well. Bread was amazing. My caesar salad was ok. Nothing to write home about. Our order came pretty quickly. My pasta was a good sized portion and the pizza looked really good. I was disappointed with my pasta. Again it was ok. I can definitely make a better pasta at home and I'm not Italian. My bf enjoyed his pizza. My biggest complaint about this restaurant was the fact that we could hear the entire conversations going on in the kitchen as they had the door open the whole time. Everytime our server went into the kitchen she joined in as well. Luckily I didn't have my children with us as there was some pretty interesting language coming out of the kitchen staff mouths. Between the loud conversations coming from the kitchen and the phone ringing I felt more like I was in a fast food restaurant then a sit down family restaurant. I would probably order pizza from there but would definitely...

Ordered Take out dinner; Veal Parma, Gnocchi and house salad. First Impression of the place, it it extremely dated decor, staff friendly. The food was just awful. the veal was more than well over cooked and unbearably salty ( not edible) The Gnocci was over cooked and very starchy with a very odd and outrageously, sweet tasting Alfredo sauce. Awful! By the time I reached my home, less than 10 minutes away, the Gnocchi was like a solid brick in the container. Gross! The salad was fresh, but unfortunately the dressing was caesar, which doesn't work on a green salad piled with far to many olives ( which I hate) The portions were generous, but quite frankly, I would rather pay for smaller portions and good, quality food. I have a suspicion that they have kids ( early twenties) cooking the food as a mature cook, would never serve such poor quality of food to it's patrons. I now understand why the place was empty. I should have taken the time to read the poor reviews online. I will not return. The food...

I don't know what has happened to this place used to be really good food but it sure went downhill. haven't ordered out or a while and about a month ago decided to order spaghetti and meat balls and fettuccine alfredo. with chicken. Order got there and fettuccine was dry, cold and stuck together in one big clump. Phoned and complained, they were apologetic sent out another order ( wife starved ). got there in half an hour and was all right. Last Friday gave them the benefit of doubt and ordered fettuccine alfredo with chicken and lasagna. Order came with no bread, fettuccine sauce was thin as water, six little pieces of chicken and a chicken bone, lasagna noodles were hard and cold, both were uneatable and had to throw out. Phoned and complained was told it would be an hour or better to redo order or would give me a credit for next purchase. I BBQ'd hamburgers that knight and will never order or go there again. Can't give half a star so...
