- DDerekVIPToronto / Ontario •44 reviews5.0Dined 4 days agoGood food in a homey bar-like setting. Service was good, although I'll never understand why an "authentic" pizza place only offers Heineken zero instead of Peroni zero as their only non alcoholic beer choice. 🤔 Arancini was tasty but a bit more breading forward than I'm used to. 7/10 Margherita pizza was tasty, with great crust and a perfect cook. I would have liked a little more basil. 9/10 I'll give it another go sometime soon.More infoLa Cucina - KitchenerPrice: Moderate• Contemporary Italian• Kitchener•4.7
- SSamToronto / Ontario •1 review5.0Dined on Jan 11, 2025Had a great meal for a fair price. Our food was prompt and warm, and our waitress was very attentive, we never had to ask for refills or anything extra, she was always on top of the ball. The only downside, many many fruit flies joined our party.More infoMontana's BBQ & Bar - KitchenerPrice: Moderate• Unspecified• Kitchener•4
