10. Domenic's Pizza

I've driven by the sign in binbrook many times and seen the Detroit style pizza sign. I drove 20 mins from Hamilton to pick up what I considered a very worthy pizza. This small pizza shop is tucked downtown in binbrook and you might miss it if you blink but trust me the pizza is worth finding it. Reasonable prices $16.99 for the deep dish Detroit style pizza with 3 toppings, the wings were a bit smaller but good taste. The fluffy dough was a great Match with the crispy crust, the prefect combination. Highly recommend checking this place out. My only complaint is they do not accept debit or credit, although they have an atm.

Whether sitting no outside on the patio during the summer or dining inside the menu is rich with selection. We love the ambience and always enjoy ourselves with their options they provide. Huge fan of the gourmet twist on Italian food with the spinach pesto linguine being a favourite.

My Wife and I were at Hotel C for a meeting regarding our upcoming wedding in November. We decided to dine in Baci to get a feel for what the food tasted like since our wedding will be catered by the restaurant. Well first off Luana served us and right away we felt at ease and taken care of . Luana attention to detail was impressive. Luana definitely went out of her way to make us feel comfortable and feeling great about our upcoming wedding meal . The food was amazing and the gentleman making the pizza did an amazing job as well . Baci is definitely an experience I would come back for again and again ! Way to go Luana and team !Thank you for your fantastic review. We very much appreciate all the great things that Luana does for us here at Baci, and how could you go wrong with a wood burning pizza oven! hope to see you again soon.

We love this place. Literally stumbled into it the first time during a storm, when the restaurant we were originally going to was closed. Beautiful ambiance, wonderful food, great service. The only reason I'm not giving it 5 stars is because they don't make their own gnocchi. Which for me, in an Italian restaurant, is a Cardinal sin. Plus, two people ordering the same dish, same size - one got almost 1/3 more food than the other. Best Carbonara I've ever had. Shout out to Mike, our favourite waiter.
6. lo Presti's at Maxwell's

Reviewed By Meredith I
Last evening 6 of our family shared in a birthday dinner in celebration of my daughter's 50th. From the greeting at the door to the assigned private dining area to the impeccable service by Gary, our waiter, to the beautifully presented food choices and how much they were all enjoyed, Lo Presti certainly made it a very special evening. The cocktails before dinner and the Wolf Blass cabernet with dinner made the evening even more enjoyable. Make this your "go to" destination for special occasions.

La Spaghett is a cozy little restaurant on Hamilton mountain. The Italian dishes are exceptional. Following an appetizer of delicious garlic bread I had Shrimp Sienna, a pasta entree with leeks, shrimp and creamy feta cheese. Itâs the best Italian food I have ever eaten. Portions are substantial.

Had a great dinner here. The food was amazing. My first Deep dish experience. It was love at first cheese stretch. Pull a slice of this pizza and there was cheese for miles. I highly recommend this place. Both food and service was great. It was a real good value. Make a reservation if you can. It is a small place so you may have to wait a little if you don't.

Our family had a super dinner here on the patio early September. The food was fresh and tasty. Portions were adequate and service was excellent. The restaurant was busy on a Saturday night - always a good sign. We opted for the outside patio facing King Street since we had our grandson (age 5 with us). We had several dishes including pizza, lasagne, calamari, spaghetti and meatballs - all very good. Be prepared for street noise if you choose the patio on a Saturday night. King Street is like a drag strip for fast cars and motorcycles! The noise can be almost deafening so be prepared. Great entertainment!We would come back again but maybe reserve a table inside!Hi Skootamattaken,I am happy to hear you had a lovely dinner! Our intersection is a top choice for cars showing off for some odd reason, but as you said - Great entertainment! We will see you inside soon!
