    Great atmosphere, amazing service. I'm a vegetarian and had the Savoy Cabbage; it was delicious!! My wife doesn't usually like lamb but our waiter recommended it and she loved it.

    Amazing team building experience! Our office Christmas lunch was held there this year. We were in the kitchen preparing our gourmet lunch. It was amazing. The food was excellent, the staff were amazing and it's such a cool place to visit as it's a historical house with so much charm from that time period. I'm glad we still have places like this to visit. It was a great experience! I'll be coming back for a couples cooking class!

    I had my wedding here on October 2021. I loved the venue, the food and the service! Although, the food took a little longer but hey, it was worth it! The event manager was very easy to talk to, I’ve probably emailed her a million times and she’s always been quick, informative and friendly in her emails. I would recommend this restaurant/venue for any event really! The place itself has a nice vibe to it, we were able to set up the place the way I wanted it to be! You can be really creative with the space! Overall, they made our day extra special!

    Exceptional service and perfectly executed food. I've been here twice. The first time was for date night. We were in the lot dinning room which was very private and intimate. I had the salmon with the whey sauce, perfectly cooked and full of umami. The second time was for a corporate party. The prices were very reasonable compared to other restaurants. Especially for alcohol. And the events manager was very responsive and accommodating. 35 people in the downstairs party room was quite spacious. The location itself the Elliot house is gorgeous and full of character. Tastefully decorated inside and with a free coat check. I highly recommend this restaurant for special occasions.

    We are eternally grateful for finding Culinaria for our wedding reception! The space is incredibly charming and well decorated in an old century home, and added so much charm to our event. Everyone on the Culinaria team was so lovely to work with, and they went above and beyond to make sure our day went off without a hitch. The food was absolutely incredible and we still have people raving to us about how good it was! We were able to bring in our own decorations and even send our curated Spotify playlist to have on in the background too. It was the perfect location for our intimate reception with 45 people. Pus we've been here for the restaurant as well and they treat you like royalty! One of the gems of Mississauga.

    We chose this venue for our friend’s bridal shower, and no regrets. Firstly, the communication with the event coordinators, Chelsea and Michelle, was excellent. They responded quickly and answered every questions we posed their way. They accommodated our needs, and we could see that they put in their best efforts to make our event extra special. We were given the Library room, and it was charming and intimate, befitting of 14 guests. On the day of the party, our lead server, Vanessa, was super approachable and helpful, and the other servers were equally ready to attend to us every time we called them. They helped us prepare the menu cards and customize our music and, for me, it’s the little touches that make all the difference. The food was decent, but how they prioritize their clients is the most wonderful aspect about this place. Bonus points because the washroom was beautiful. The fact that there was no one in the venue during our celebration truly maintained the mood and helped all the focus be on the Bride-to-Be. Thank you, Culinaria, for an unforgettable experience.

    The entire team at Culinaria are amazing! We wouldn't have been able to pull off our wedding in 3 months without their help. The planning process was seamless, and the ambiance was perfect! Best part is that Culinaria has so much character so additional décor wasn't necessary. All our guests raved about the cocktails and thoroughly enjoyed the food. Highly recommend the salmon, it was cooked just right. If you are looking to host an event for your family and friends look no further!

    Culinaria hosted our Business Dinner Event on April 18, 2023. All the execs and board members from overseas had a wonderful experience. They loved the food, service, and atmosphere. I received several "job well done" and "great choice" compliments from my bosses - thank you Culinaria, you made me look good too. Will definitely book here for future events. Thanks to the friendly wait staff, and great chef - and Michelle (event coordinator) who was so friendly and easy to speak with and made it such a breeze to put it together. Don't hesitate to book any gathering or event here. You won't be disappointed.

    We had an absolutely divine experience at this place! The staff who attended to us were delightful, and the chef and sous-chef were the absolute highlights. They were not only friendly and fun but also incredibly motivating with the group. Oh, I almost forgot to mention – the food was exceptional, and the atmosphere was fantastic. A thousand thanks to the team for making our dining experience so memorable! Highly recommended. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

    Food was pretty good. Caesar salad was tasty but was awkward to eat as it resembles a wedge salad. The lamb was decent, a little tough though.

    Event Date - Fall 2023 My husband and I used this venue for our wedding ceremony and reception location and were so happy with the venue, staff, food, and ambiance. Chelsea and Michelle (on-site event managers) were extremely responsive, understanding, and flexible and went above and beyond to accommodate our needs and help us coordinate our day. They allowed us numerous meetings with them on site to work out the details and took notes on everything so that this was all carried forward through the many months of the planning process since we decorated ourselves and did not have a wedding/event planner or external vendors. Pricing was very reasonable especially for the quality of both the food and cocktails-- all of which got many compliments on from our guests. We had 60 people for dinner and felt it was a good amount of space, though more would be doable but we felt it could get a bit tight. There was a-la-carte service occurring at the same time in private rooms off to the side but this was kept completely separate and we did not noticed at all, nor did it impact our ability to celebrate. It was extremely convenient to complete the reception and ceremony in the same location and have cocktail hour all in one place. Additional time is possible and reasonably priced if your event goes longer than you anticipate. Dance floor is also available but we did not elect to have this option. There was ample parking on site but extra parking is also available at the neighbouring church which Culinaria has an agreement with for bigger events. Washrooms are on the lower level and is something to be aware of for accessibility since it requires stair use. Tasting menus are available and had great portions/pricing if you have committed to the venue (tasting is still available without commitment but is priced higher). For an intimate wedding with great food/drink and great service, I highly recommend this venue. The staff can make or break an event and I cannot speak highly enough of the staff here, who clearly take pride in what they do and were so attentive and kind. Thank you so much to Culinaria and it's amazing staff, with special thanks to Chelsea and Michelle. You helped make it a perfect day!

    The Culinaria would have been a complete 5 star had the food not been cold. Understandable though, due to having to serve over 10 people at the same time, but I'm not a Michelin Chef, yet I know you need to keep 'em warm while waiting for other dishes to serve. (The Manager apologized though but...) On the upside though, the individual spaces make for a private dining experience. We loved the fact you could close the doors, eat, and merry without anyone but wait staff opening the doors. The food was really nice too... Another downside of the night was having limited staff... the one lady must've felt overwhelmed. Catering to multiple people requires adequate staffing. All in all....an experience I'd like to repeat, even if it's only to get it perfect.

    Have dined here on few occasions and I have to say its been a 5-star experience. Excellent customer service (our same waiter on 2 occasions was fantastic), food, atmosphere and venue!

    Such nice space! Attended a friends retirement part. Place was well organized, nicely renovated. Friendly staff. From the beginning to end the staff did a great job. Great finger food and apps were served! Will definitely go back to try their cuisines.

    My boyfriend and I went to the Sicilian couples cooking class to celebrate his birthday and we had a wonderful time. From the minute you walk through the door you’re greeted with warmth and care, throughout the entire night the staff was attentive and super friendly. We had the wonderful opportunity of being taught by Chef Michael he really took his time while teaching us step by step and answered any and every question. The food turned out delicious and we had a fun and great experience! We will definitely be coming back again! Highly recommended!

    I had my wedding reception at the Culinaria, I must say it was a great experience. Michelle the coordinator was awesome, she helped and guided me every step of the way. On the day of the wedding, everything was set up within a timely manner, food was delicious and staff was friendly and courteous. Drinks were well made, and a lovely experience overall. I would choose them again if I was to plan another event in the future

    Was here for an event. Gorgeous venue, lunch was fantastic . They are creative with their ingredients . Steak was overdone but understandable tough when navigating with a large group.

    We came for our wedding anniversary dinner, and just like during our actual wedding years ago everything was splendid. Thank your for welcoming us so warmly and making it so special again. The food was delicious 🤤. The service was incredible. Culinaria has a special place in our hearts. Thank you all for everything. We can’t wait to be back🥰.

    Attended a business dinner here and attendees had multiple options to pick from. The soup tasted good but came out cold, the main dish was so bland and terrible! The meat lacked flavour along with the side veggies ! The sweet is a modern version of a no bake cheesecake, called on the menu Cherry cheesecake but all cherry you taste is the canned cherry on the top!

    An excellent venue to celebrate a special event. Plenty of menu options to accommodate different price points. Food, service, planning support, culinary staff were amazing.

    The ambience and the service is amazing. The food falls a little bit short though. I had the Bolognese pasta which was fine, but my family had the salmon and the Wagyu pasta which was highly seasoned.

    We had our wedding at Culinaria 9 years ago. We go back every year to celebrate our anniversary. The staff was so attentive during and before our wedding, the decor is modern, food is top notch and the managers are very nice. We love supporting small businesses like Culinaria.

    I can only speak for their culinary classes, and not the food in their restaurant.. With that said, the culinary classes are amazing! Chef Andrew and Chef Taylor are incredibly knowledgeable. They are very friendly and easy to talk to. Will answer all your questions and help guide you along the way to becoming a better cook. I very much enjoyed my 8 week boot camp.

  • 5/5 Ricardo B. 2 years ago on Google
    Awesome customer service and overall quality of food and process, we loved our experience at Culinaria; Stefano & Andy are professional, experienced and looking forward to our future events at the establishment.

  • 5/5 Rosabella P. 2 years ago on Google
    Culinaria is perfect for date night, if you want exquisite food, in a cozy setting, and great customer service! Our meals were delicious and just the right portion size, but filling. We had the scallops, beet salad, kale caesar salad, steak, sea bass, and chocolate mousse for desert. SUPPORT THE RESTAURANT INDUSTRY!
