Alioli Ristorante

I had a great experience at this restaurant! The food was fantastic—flavorful, well-presented, and clearly made with high-quality ingredients. The ambience was cozy and inviting, with a nice balance of lighting and decor that made the atmosphere comfortable and relaxed. Service was excellent, with attentive and friendly staff who made sure we had everything we needed. The only downside is that it's a bit on the pricier side, but the overall experience definitely justifies the cost. Would definitely recommend!

Thank you Antonio, and the rest of staff for making our girls lunch so enjoyable. Antonio is their Sommelier, and server extraordinaire. He recommended an amazing wine based on our description. He nailed it. The rest of the meal was incredible. Everything was cooked and seasoned to perfection. Will definitely be back! Grazie!!

Alioli Restaurant provided an ideal backdrop for a birthday celebration, marked by a sumptuous dinner in a cozy, sophisticated ambiance. The varied menu offered an appealing conundrum, solved by selecting crostini di funghi and calamari alla griglia to begin, followed by risotto ai funghi and rigatoni alla boscaiola. The birthday surprise was thoughtfully presented in the form of tiramisu. Gelato and coffee latte rounded out the meal. Throughout, our courteous waiter provided expert guidance, making Alioli Restaurant an exemplary choice for special occasions.

We began our meal with a basket of freshly baked Focaccia, served alongside olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and a side of grated Parmesan cheese. The Focaccia itself was a delight—soft, airy, and fragrant with that unmistakable aroma of freshly baked bread. The texture was light, and when dipped into the olive oil and balsamic, it delivered a rich, tangy burst of flavor, enhanced by the sharpness of the Parmesan. Each bite felt like a perfect start, setting a high standard for what was to come. Next, we enjoyed the Caesar salad, a classic done right. The greens were crisp, the dressing creamy yet balanced, with a hint of anchovy that didn’t overpower but rather added depth. The croutons were crunchy and fresh, providing a satisfying contrast to the leafy base. The highlight of the evening was undoubtedly the Lobster and Shrimp Linguine. As the restaurant’s special, it came with high expectations, and I’m pleased to say it did not disappoint. The lobster was cooked to perfection, tender and seasoned just enough to enhance its natural sweetness without overshadowing it. The shrimp complemented the dish beautifully, adding a slight brininess that paired wonderfully with the creamy, cheesy sauce coating the linguine. The sauce was rich, but not overwhelming—a delicate balance of flavors that left you wanting more with each bite. The Rigatoni al Forno, another standout, featured a velvety blend of creamy and spicy sauces. As someone who enjoys a bit of heat, this dish hit all the right notes for me. The sauce had a perfect kick, without being too overpowering, and the creaminess balanced it out, making for a satisfying and flavorful bite. The rigatoni itself was cooked to al dente perfection, with just the right amount of chewiness to hold the sauce. To accompany the meal, I opted for a glass of Cabernet Illicit. While I don’t typically gravitate toward dry wines, this one had a surprisingly pleasant taste—smooth with subtle notes of dark fruit. It was a great choice for someone like me, who doesn’t have a strong palate for wine, but still enjoys a well-balanced, flavorful drink. Overall, the evening was a success, with each dish standing out in its own way. The combination of excellent food, thoughtful preparation, and attentive service made for a truly memorable dining experience.

Yesterday, I had the pleasure of celebrating my birthday with my cousin at a fantastic restaurant right in the heart of Mississauga. Johnny and his team took excellent care of us, and both the food and service were outstanding. We began with a seafood platter and espresso martinis, followed by delicious mushroom ravioli and risotto, and finished with the lightest, most decadent tiramisu. Simply superb.

Partner made a reservation here for our anniversary. We were seated immediately even though we came early. Server was attentive and witty. We ordered their focaccia as a starter and it was some of the best bread I’ve ever had-crispy on the outside and so soft and fluffy on the inside. Also got their calamari that was decent. Pasta was also amazing, their ravioli was a stand out. Would love to come back.

Place is way overated. We came here based only on the amazing google reviews. It tasted like was prepared by the staff of a pizza franchise. We sat on the outside and the host/ staff looked at us like we could not afford to eat here and did us a favor by giving us a table at 5:45 pm in an empty restaurant. LOL! Guys, I travel the world for food. Risotto tasted like bought from Costco and was microwaved just before servings. Lamb chop tasted gamey ( and I love lamb and enjoy it often) Seafood app was the worst tasting dish I have had in years. Tough low quality products offered at a high price. Seafood pasta- forgetfull and under seasoned. Would have enjoyed it more if they bought frozen prepared seafood pasta from Costco. It tasted like to prepared in a air fyer. There was a lack of executation and seasoning in the all the food we ordered tonight. But food presention was nice. They have a fake show where they open the sun vents for 5 minutes, kinda cool unless you are sitting nearby. All the debris fell on the guest and food. They were NOT happy. Only good things was how pour the wine into a decanter. ( kinda cool the first time you see it) It may have high review ONLY If you dont compare it to any decent Italian restaurants in Toronto. It is very busy so they have lots of regular clients but save your time and money to go downtown or there is a few good Italian places in Brampton . I had better Italian food in a one $ / star establishment. It is a dated style restaurants with very senior staff that only take care of their regular customers. The new females staff was useless on a Saterday night when we arrived ealry in their dinner service so it was not busy. She forgot about our table when we asked for items amd had to ask her a second time on 3 occasions. Senior Staff seems to have have worked there for 30 years+ and it shows. Was not a refined dinning experience at all, it was kind of sad. It was like a 16 year old son borrowing his dad car wearing an oversized suit for his first date in high school. Then eating in a expensive place- trying way too hard to impress everyone and they failed to make a positive expression with me.
