The music was too loud and the pizza was awful Really surprized that at an Italian place would have a pizza that horrible. The dough was awful and when the pizza was delivered to me, 1/2 the pizza was burnt and half raw. My husband's was raw. Pizza dough should be like it is at Oro di Napoli or Marchello's Unless you change the dough, we don't recommend nor ever come back for pizza at La Vecchia

Another wonderful business lunch on the patio yesterday...this is becoming a bit of a tradition for me, as my friends from the GTA will eagerly accept an invitation to my favorite local spot. The new lunch menu doesn't include some of my favorites, but that just means I try others.

I'm new to the area and have eaten here a few times now. First experience was just ok, 2md much better and now was really good but with new staff, service was slow, and a little off. Drinks were very slow we had to order 4 at a time to avoid delays. The veal was amazing as is the Frutta di Mare and carpaccio. However again, had to ask for table To be cleared, for fresh cutley, straws. Basics that made it a little annoying, however the food and vibe makes up for it. I'd go back I'm sure.

Good food, service wasn't too bad but the food took quite a while to come. Mains were ordered well after the appetizers were finished when realistically they should've been entered once the appetizers were served. Otherwise, the waiter was nice and made sure we were attended to even when it was busy. He did seem a little franticed and stressed though.

Second time there. Noted it was for birthday and no special attention made. Even request on reservation to sit on patio and was seated indoors. Asked if after finished our dinner if we could move to patio and they refused. They entire 2.5 hrs we were there we saw a table for 4 sit empty on the patio. Not happy. We left and walked in at Eden up the street and got seated on the patio and had a way better experience with a free birthday shot! Will think twice next time I want to dine by the lake about coming back here.

Always a favorite of ours. Fantastic menu, wonderful staff and an engaging atmosphere. Great views of the waterfront. Year round outdoor patio with heaters if necessary. Perfect location for an after dinner stroll along the waterfront. Highly recommend this restaurant but be sure to make reservations!
