La Cantinella: Reviews & Ratings
Authentic Italian spot in the heart of St. George. This place was recommended by someone we know and it didn't disappoint. We had the gnocchi and the linguine pescatore. Both were fantastic and great service and ambiance as well. Highly recommend a visit and we will be back!
Great tasting, high quality Italian food. The vodka penne was our fav. Kelly was very friendly and knew the menu inside and out.
The food here is amazing. I've never had better Italian food! The atmosphere is lovely and the service is great. The owner is very personable and friendly. We brought visitors from Italy and she came out to meet them and talk to them in Italian. They appreciated that very much as did we. Thanks again, we had a great meal and an even better time!
Such a charming and comfortable atmosphere, food and service was great. Well worth the drive if you’re not near St. George and if you live close by you probably already know how great it is.
I've been here twice over the past year and loved it! First time was for my birthday, 2nd was for mine and my husband's 10th wedding anniversary. Both times, the service was fantastic and the food came out at a timely pace. The food itself is delicious. I like the variety and the specials are tasty too. We are so happy that they have our favourite dessert too, creme brulee! The atmosphere is relaxing, warm and inviting. La cantinella is definitely our go-to place for somewhere special to eat.
We have eaten at many great places around the world. We came here for out 5th wedding anniversary. What I ask for in Italian is made from scratch with fresh ingredients at fair prices.We will be back again and again. A little gem in St. George, Ontario.We really enjoyed it. Met the owner, our waitress was great and the food - AMAZING.
A great restaurant! Very friendly and helpful staff! Service with a slime all the way. Our server Laura was wonderful, she was able to answer our questions, describe and recommend dishes and wine. We were here on a weeknight and it was easy to get in. Weekends I would suggest making a reservation. We enjoyed a delicious dinner. Tasty authentic Italian cuisine. Ceasar Salad mmmmm very good with the house dressing that was just perfect. Alfredo Linguine, Veal Parmesan, Chicken Parmesan, Seafood Linguine and Escargot all were DELICIOUS!!! Good selection of cocktails, wine and some beer. Good spot for couples, or family dinners. St George is a small little town, easy to get to. Street parking available or a (free) parking lot across the street. We will be back for sure!
The caprese salad is absolutely incredible!! I could easily eat two or three plates !! The absolute best I’ve ever had. Food is very fresh! Our first time coming and will be coming back again for sure and hopefully soon
