Friendly service, the owner knows wine and will recommend you a nice bottle based on your personal taste preferences. Free bread and beans were offered to us and we enjoyed the bread (the beans, not so much). They paced the food coming out time great, allow us to enjoy the fish as the temperature they supposed to be. It feels and tastes like a family restaurant, some people may find it a bit under seasoning, and too blend or one-dimensional. But I personally enjoy this type of cooking. Raw and rustic, but let the original flavour shines! Toilet is located downstairs, for those who cannot go up or down the stairs may be a problem. Patio is small but cosy. Check out this place if you are in the area.

I came here for an anniversary dinner date and was not disappointed at all. The owner is extremely kind, warm, welcoming and funny. He greats his customers and engages with them, it's very refreshing! The servers were also so amazing. So much knowledge on the specials, menus and wines. We ordered a meat and cheese plate which was very delicious. It came with Olives as well. Prior to receiving the appetizer we were given some bread and pickled beans. Both, so yummy! I'll attach photos of the pastas we ordered for mains, both were extremely delicious. So much flavour for pasta. It's also nice to mention our water glasses were never empty. As soon as we would finish one of the servers would come and refill it. Such a small thing to do but also so lovely. I'm so used to waiting over 30 minutes to get a waiters attention for a refill in my water from so many other restaurants. Overall, it was a wonderful experience. The amazing customer service and great food really allowed me and my partner to enjoy our anniversary date. I should mention they have an outdoor patio but it's small. You should try to book a reservation if you can to ensure you can get a spot. I'll be back to try some more things soon.

First class customer service and the food was amazing. It was my first time ordering and Giovanni was so pleasant taking my order over the phone as well as coordinating curb side pick up. I would highly recommend as the food was by far fresh and flavourful. Looking forward to my next order.

Absolutely amazing food and great service too. The server was super friendly, helpful and order came out in decent time. Loved the food and father-in-law who my partner says is hard to please when eating out enjoyed the food. Definitely will come back when in the area.

Delicious authentic Italian food! A little pricey but worth it. Food was fresh and nicely presented.

Foods here are authentic Italian. I really enjoyed the food and service. The owner Mr Jovani is so friendly. We got Fritto Misto “ fried calamari, shrimp and sardin” as an appetizer, Spaghetti carbonara and Linguine De mare. Beans and garlic bread was complimentary.

Had the soup and mussels with a double espresso to close :) Friendly and inviting staff. Pleasant atmosphere. Quality food and good presentation. Thanks for the lunch Giovanni!

Lovely Italian restaurant with delicious pasta!! 😍 We ordered the manicotti and the bolognese. Both were so good 😊 We also received complimentary appetisers which was very much appreciated!

I have been coming here for years, the food is always fresh, delicious, authentic and well priced. The service is amazing; the staff work hard and treat you like family, and the owner always comes out to greet you and check on your meal. The restaurant is both casual and elegant, the vibe and music selection is great and they have a solid selection of wines. Easily one of the best Italian restaurants in the city, a local gem.

The best authentic Italian dishes and dessert (Tiramisu) that I ever have in my entire life. The server are very friendly plus patiently even we arrived late without reservation and they are willing to take us in. We arrived late around 7PM, our plates served within an hour and stayed passed 10PM. They offered appetizer even we didn’t order. Patience is worthwhile because they made homemade cooking which is healthier and not just frozen from microwave or over-heated up. Highly recommended this place. Excellent service and hospitality. The chef will chat with you and get to know you plus even escort you out. Sweet parting. My friend and I will love to come back again.

Amazing food, friendly staff, and a very cozy atmosphere. I totally recommend it.

Excellent food and very friendly staff. Great attention to detail and very accommodating. I definitely recommend this place if you're in the area.

I loooooooved there food and their service, really nice and friendly and the chefs came and talked to us and they were really nice. Would definitely come back here

I love here. Soooo yummy. Everything all good

The food was absolutely delightful! The portion sizes are just right and ingredients fresh. The octopus was incredibly tender and delicious. Would definitely go again! A very Italian restaurant.

Surprised my girlfriend and took her here for her birthday. Neither of us had been but reviews were good and she loves Italian so I took a chance and I'm so glad I did. We both loved everything about this place. Service was great and the food was even better. Still not over that grilled peach appetizer. Definitely going back the next time we want some great Italian food.

Good and friendly service, the owner are always checking on the experience of the customers, the flavor and how they feel, making me feel like home. Our waiter was really nice and gave plenty recomendations. We really enjoyed our dinner and cocktails! We ordered the Fritto, spaghetti carbonara, bolognese penne, ace beer ( soooo good) and a cosmopolitan and let me tell you it was on point.

I was a solo diner on a nice summer evening, and sat on the patio. The service was friendly and detail-oriented, and the food was simple but spectacular. I had grilled sardines to start, followed by spaghetti puttanesca and it was the perfect summer meal. Prices were more than fair. Padella is a gem and I recommend it to anyone.

The owner and staff are incredibly nice. You can tell everyone cares a lot and puts in a lot of hard work. The food was amazing. Perfectly cooked and came out fairly fast despite the dinner rush. Worth all the praise it’s received and the price.

This place is perfect for a dinner on any occasion and even when you just craving for some yummy Italian food, with a perfect atmosphere feeling the warmth of the staff. The salads are fresh and soup is really good. The pasta is really well made and tastes wow with the pizza baked to perfection… the cherry on the top is there to die for Tiramisu… I visited this place last evening with my friends and we had a great time… it’s kids friendly too. Thanks a ton to everyone at Padella for an awesome dinner! We will visit soon.

Nice italian restaurant... food is well prepared and tasty... service is really nice and friendly... Only downside was not having license for serving alcohol... so no wine for us...

My wife, I and my sister attended November11th. Shawn, the owner served us. My main pasta course was terrible. So salty, it was impossible to eat. Shawn was told and he was not happy. Gave me a nasty look, took away the food and said, "I'll fix it." Never asked, "Would you like something else?" The plate came back, and tasted the same. So salty, I said, "I can't eat it." Shawn gave me another nasty look, then offered another meal. It was better. My wife left her pasta meal mostly untouched. We ordered a vanilla cheese cake. It looked old and dried. We ate only half of it and I like cheese cakes. Highly unimpressed with the service, and food. Save your money and go to a better restaurant with nicer staff.

We had the rack of lamb and linguine de mare for dinner, and they were both very delicious! The lava cake tastes so rich and we love it. Thank you for all the good food and warm hospitality. Will definitely come back again.

Risotto and gnocchi were amazing, and highly recommended. The peach risotto was surprisingly a great mix! Gnocchi was done very well, I find many low quality gnocchi to be way too chewey, but this wasn't the case at all. However, the chicken supreme was a bit disappointing. A bit dry, a bit of an unpleasant after taste, the potatoes felt like they had been sitting out too long, and marinated too long in a salty brine. Veggies felt a bit overdone and unimpressive as well. Still this didn't diminish how great our entrees were! I would still recommend this place, and chalk up the chicken to a fluke.

Indulging in the exquisite flavors of authentic Italian cuisine at Padella’s was an absolute delight. From mouthwatering pasta dishes to delicious wines and delectable desserts, every bite was fantastic. Beyond the food, Giovanni's warm and hospitable demeanor elevated the experience. His genuine friendliness and attentiveness ensured that each visit was a memorable and enjoyable one. It's a place where delicious food meets impeccable service, leaving us eagerly anticipating our next visit! As always, thank you for everything and for always ensuring that we are well fed and taken care of 😊

Very friendly and the foods were perfect, 100% recommended.

Loved this little Italian restaurant, you can tell everything is homemade! Food was amazing and atmosphere so accommodating. They booked us for 9 people for same day and it was in a comfortable seating area. The only things I have to say: deserts where amazing in taste but shape and serving was weird . The lava cake was delicious but it was all melted , so that would have been 👍. Overall definitely coming back, Delicious food and service

Best spot for Italian food in the area. We had a large reservation for a birthday event, staff was incredibly hospitable and made our party feel like home. Food was exquisite. Great experience, we'll definitely return. Green P parking lot is available just around the corner and usually has spots.

Had a really great experience here. Italian restaurants I'm always reluctant about because much Italian fare can be made at home with a little planning and practice. But with the intimate space and convenient location were impossible to pass up. My GF and I both enjoy seafood pastas, with mine being a special and hers being a regular menu item, linguine de mare. We also got a charcuterie board which was delicious. The wine selection was good as well. The owner was friendly and had a great sense of humour, and our server was extremely thorough and friendly. Really enjoyed it, and will surely be back to try additional items. Highly recommended.

Each time I’ve been to Padella it has been a wonderful experience. Food is amazing and fresh, the service (staff/owner) is fantastic and attentive! Can’t recommend it enough!

Great Italian food just like Mamma made. Very good service.ate on patio.

Amazing authentic food

What an amazing experience!! We had the octopus, linguini carbonara, seafood fettuccine and tiramisu. The food was amazing and the staff there were so attentive. We would definitely attend again!

We had a great time celebrating a friend's birthday here. We sat on the patio which is on the small side but felt very quaint. The service was fast efficient and our server was very personable! The food was good, including their seafood linguini. We would definitely go back.

Went here for my birthday! Cozy place with lovely service. Can truly tell that they care about the details :)

I am very picky when it comes to Italian restaurants and I absolutely love padella! It's authentic, delicious and Giovanni is so attentive to any special requests. The fresh pasta is delicious and the complimentary rosemary bread is a lovely touch. Will definitely go back!
