   My wife and I visited this restaurant for the first time with a 6:00 PM reservation but arrived a bit early at 5:30 PM. We asked a staff member if it was okay to be seated early, and he kindly said it was no problem. A young hostess led us to our table, gave us water, and told us our server would be with us shortly. It was a bit unsettling that the restaurant was completely empty at what’s typically a busy dinner hour on a Friday night. It was also too dark for my liking almost like it looked closed other than the front of the restaurant. We waited about 10–12 minutes at the table, but no one came by to take our order, even though the restaurant was empty. Eventually, we decided to leave. Unfortunately, I can't comment on the food since we never got to try it. The staff we did interact with seemed pleasant, but for us, good service is essential, and it was noticeably lacking here especially since we were the only customers. Even as we walked out, the hostess never asked why we were leaving. With so many other dining options available in that area, we’re not inclined to give this place another try. That was just our experience. Not bashing just really sharing our experience.

   The food was not good and overpriced. There's no reason for it to be that expensive—the place is just average, not fancy. The tables and chairs are basic, the service was okay, and the food was just okay. The pasta seemed microwaved or not fully defrosted. The pizza lacked flavor—hard to explain, but definitely not good. I’ve been to other Italian restaurants nearby, and they are much better.

   I’m back with another review which might be against the rules but the restaurant just released a new menu and we were there for the first night. There are so many great choices with the extensive new offerings that it will take several visits to try them all. On night one the lamb spiedini was the winner!

   First time at Borgo and the food and service were awesome. Appetizerss/Shareables: Grilled artichokes were tender and seasoned to perfection, and the cauliflower bites were so good. The Burrato was very good too, though the skin on the caramelized squash was a bit tough to contend with - still everything else on that platter was really good. Pasta: we had the Rigatoni and the Gnocchi - fantastic flavours, tender homemade pasta. Service: Attentive, without being intrusive. Atmosphere: a little noisy, not too bad. If you're having dinner just before sunset, you may want to avoid sitting at the very front as the sun might be in your eyes, as was our case. But we will quickly moved to another very nice table further back. We really enjoyed our meals, and will be back.

   Excellent Italian restaurant located in the heart of Oakville downtown Lakeshore. The food is authentic and delicious, and the service is wonderful!
