The service, and the ambiance of the restaurant and the quality and presentation of the food is second to none. I would gladly recommend this establishment. However, I have one issue. I was there this past Saturday and my husband had the risotto with truffles. When he was served the risotto, the chef came and grated fresh truffles onto my plate. He asked my husband to tell him when to stop. When he was finished he left a paper on the table for the waiter that said 9 grams. He was not aware that he would be paying per gram of truffle. He was expecting to pay the price stated on the menu. Instead at the end of our meal we were charged an insane amount of $216.00 for a plate of risotto. He felt cheated. In other fine-dining restaurants, where he ordered similar dishes with truffles, it was all included in the price. I know that white truffles are expensive , but wished that we were made aware that we would be paying per weight of truffles.
We paid the bill and didn't complain to the waiter because they followed the process.. My suggestion to the owner is that they include, for example, 3 pieces of grated truffle with the price of the risotto and if the customer wants more, they should be made aware that it would be extra. Like this there would be no misunderstanding, surprises or ill-feelings.
Other than that, the food was very good. Compliments to the chef...
Read moreWent to this restaurant yesterday and still upset about the experience. Firstly, the waiter spilt an espresso in my wife’s face, no apology, no nothing. Still got charged for the espresso too! Still water was $7. For being in Vaughan and offering nothing unique, this restaurant severely overcharges for food. Thank god there was bread on the table, otherwise we would have left hungry with our $300 bill. I ordered a mixed seafood main for $45 which was the tiniest portion I’ve ever seen. Frutti di Mare misti is a lovely plate, but this was not. It was essentially an appetizer. I guess that’s why it’s called L’antipasto? The only authentic part about this restaurant is the feeling of being ripped off like when you accidentally choose a touristy restaurant in italy. Finally, after asking for the bill, it took 30+ mins to get it. And of course, they cant split the bill because they can’t be bothered. The amount of attitude from these waiters was despicable. As an italian who has worked in both front and back of house in the industry for years, these people deserved to be called out. Save your money and go to a...
Read moreL'Antipasto Ristorante is a true hidden gem that delivers an exceptional dining experience from start to finish. The service was outstanding — warm, attentive, and incredibly knowledgeable. Our server took the time to explain each dish in detail, which added a thoughtful and personal touch to the meal.
The food itself was nothing short of spectacular. Every dish showcased top-quality ingredients, masterful presentation, and creative flair. The flavours were well-balanced and refined, and you could truly taste the passion behind the cooking.
