    Went with my wife for supper. I ordered the Halibut and she ordered the Salmon. The halibut was over cooked and rubbery and had no flavor. The waitress seemed disinterested in doing her job or working with us. I might return to try a different meal, but it will probably take a bit of time before that happens.

    Wonderful ambiance, we had the lamb, cheese wheel chicken Alfredo, butternut squash pasta and the surf and turf special which were all delicious. The cheesecake was our favourite dessert .

    Food was very good. Service was decent. Unfortunately there was a large party that was not dresses according to the restaurants dress code which should have been enforced and was extremely disruptive and inconsiderate of the other people around them. Kids and adults wandering around the patio as if they booked a private event not as of they were at a high end restaurant where some class should be upheld. Food all over the floor from sloppy eating.... one of them was eating his lamb with his bare hands. Loudly mocking a small child that was crying at their table. Playing kids shows to keep them occupied. I get families need to eat too but there was zero consideration for those around them and the staff didn't seem to do anything about it. Food was good but the ambiance we were looking for on what should have been a romantic Night out was ruined. Violinas needs to start enforcing their standards. We will likely dine elsewhere for our next date night.

    We're truly sorry to hear that your evening was disrupted and that the atmosphere didn’t meet the standard you expected—especially on a night meant to be special. While we're glad you enjoyed the food and found the service decent, it's clear that the behavior of the large party and the lack of enforcement of our dress code and conduct expectations fell short . Maintaining a refined and respectful environment for all guests is a priority, and your feedback highlights where we must do better. We genuinely appreciate you bringing this to our attention and will be reviewing our policies and staff training to ensure that our standards are consistently upheld. We hope you’ll consider giving us another chance in the future to provide the romantic, high-quality experience you were looking for.

    Everything was fantastic. Our waiter was attentive, helpful and fun. We were lucky enough to sit outdoors and enjoy the weather. The food itself was top notch. I am looking forward to returning.

    A must order is the signature dish. The best fettuccine ever! Service is slow to savour your food and socialize - like Italian cuisine is meant to be. This is not a place to go if you’re in a hurry. My only suggestion is to carry a mocktail menu for the designated drivers:)
    Violino Gastronomia ItalianaResponded on May 14, 2025
    Thank you for the thoughtful review! We're thrilled you enjoyed the signature dish—hearing it's the best fettuccine ever means a lot! We're also glad you embraced the relaxed, social pace of dining with us, just as Italian cuisine is intended. Your suggestion about a mocktail menu is a great one—we truly appreciate the feedback and will certainly take it into consideration. Hope to welcome you back soon for another leisurely, delicious experience!

    My husband and I went here for my birthday. It is the most perfect place for an elegant date night / intimate birthday dinner. The service and food are some of the best I’ve ever had the pleasure of enjoying.
