We live 2 hours away from Danny's and would literally make this drive just to eat at this amazing pasta place! Luckily our cottage is only minutes away, so we regularly enjoy a great family meal here. The appetizers, (personal favourites include the escargot, caesar salad and mussels) are absolutely mouth watering. The pasta's (personal favourites include the salmon in a cream sauce and the curry) are to die for and leftovers always taste just as great the next day. There are always daily specials and although its always hard to sway from our favourite dishes, we have never ever been disappointed with any new dish we have ventured to try. There are many pasta options and the wonderful staff are always accommodating if there is a minor changes needed to your order. My family and I have eaten at many five star restaurants throughout the GTA, and by far there is no comparison to Danny's, the quality of food, generous portions, family atmosphere, amazing staff and FANTASTIC flavours in every dish, each meal is worth every penny! We would highly recommend...

Don't expect that this is some Italian spaghetti with meatballs kind of place. For the longest time I had never ordered from the menu because every day there is a new special (and I don't think that I've ever seen a special repeated). Expect things like linguine with lobster, venison, and leeks. I've had dishes with ostrich, boar, seafood, game, and of course your ordinary meats like shrimp, beef, pork, and chicken.
I only ever had one less than excellent experience where the pasta wasn't drained very well before the sauce was added - so it made the sauce thin - but this was at lunch, once out of more than a dozen times and the dish was still very good.
I've never been disappointed in the serving sizes and the service is always top-notch.
I've heard (and read) people complain about the prices but I think the prices are absolutely fair considering what you get. This is fine-dining that people would gladly pay more for if it was located in the centre of a...
   Read moreOur family stopped in at Danny's Justa Pasta on our way back home from South River. We had seen the restaurant a few times as we passed by, this time we stopped in to see if it was any good.
We were seated and waited on immediately. Our waitress was very polite and attentive. We had garlic bread to start, my folks had dinner-portion salads whereas I had the soup of the day and linguine with ground beef, mushrooms, and onions in a cream sauce. The garlic bread was flat and fairly average. The soup was a tomato-cream based seafood soup which was served piping hot and was delicious, however was priced at $8 which is a little steep for soup. The linguine at $13 was a little more value priced, and tasted beautifully. My folks' salads were priced at $18.
Excellent food, excellent service. However, the price will keep me from eating there regularly. The décor definitely leaves something to be desired, and the background music sounds like someone put a Zelda video...
