Mappatura Bistro

Cozy little Italian Bistro!

Reviewed By Regishill

Went recently with 9 women for lunch. We all enjoyed our meals. Three of us had the three different feature salads and they were all lovely, flavourful and very different ingredients that worked well together. It was a very busy lunch hour and quite noisy but it settled once the crowd thinned out a bit.Thanks for dining with us!

Awful attention to detail. Little things that "fine-dining" should be doing that they just ignore. For these prices, I expected more. Other restaurants in the area provide better experiences: taking your coat, wiping the table between courses.. We had 3 servers provide us service during one visit. If you're going to call yourself fine dining, then be fine dining.

Four of us went to this restaurant for supper and not one of us was disappointed in our choice. Two great appetizers to share (Risotto croquettes and Bruschetta). We each had a different main course, Chicken stuffed Ravioli, 8-Layer Lasagna, Penne Salsiccia with homemade sausage and Fettuccine with Jumbo Shrimp. Got to taste each others dish as the portions were a good size. Oh and we loved that the plates were hot so the dishes stayed warm right up to the finish. No room for dessert this time but will be going back.

Ristorante a Mano

Reviewed By sai-john1225

Much of what I had to say when I last reviewed this restaurant as excellent in 2016 still applies and is even better with new decor. The more open and cozy atmosphere now provides a better ambiance. the menu is unchanged for the most part. Food is delicious as always with excellent service - that is why Restaurante El Mano had become our favorite lunch location several times a month despite Bishops Landing parking being a constant challenge.A couple of months ago the wine list changed. The current list remains decent and extensive, however, several excellent yet affordable choices have been eliminated and replaced with more costly choices. The least expensive per bottle Italian red wine Valpolicella is now @58.00 and the least expensive Chianti is $52.00 - a 20%+ increase.

The Vines

Reviewed By Alex R

We have been going to Vines Pasta Grill for about 15 years now for family special events. This week we celebrated two family birthdays with 18 folks. The hosting was on par with what one can expect from much more expensive restaurants. Ian was friendly, patient and had a great sense of humour. Never intrusive but always attentive to our needs - customer service is obviously a high priority at Vines. Every plate was a delicious tasting and filling experience. More than one in our party went home with some left overs. We chose a nice Italian Red to accompany the pasta and a complimentary bottle of Champagne for the birthday table was an amazing surprize. As usual many were raving about Vine's renowned Caesar Salad, a must have for new patrons. I would recommend Vines Pasta Grill to Halifax visitors and local folks who want a romantic dinner for two or that want to hold a large family event that won't break the bank. This is quality cuisine that keeps us coming back year after year! As stated in another review, this truly is a gem in Dartmouth/Cole Harbour. Bon Appétit!

Da Maurizio Dining Room

Reviewed By Thomas H

This is a fine dining establishment. Taking the advice of the hotel desk clerk, I arrived in blue jeans and sneakers and was under dressed. The food was very good, with the possible exception of one bite of halibut which may have been a bit off. The server was outstanding. My daughter-in-law asked him to select a wine pairing and she announced his choice was perfect, especially for the radicchio salad that came before her fish course. My son's lobster ravioli was outstanding. We enjoyed ourselves quite a bit.

The food was fantastic, everything was perfect. Everyone had something different from appetizers and mains. So we all had a bit of each others. There was not a plate set on that table that your comments was not "Oh my Heavens" the kitchen was just rocking it. Which topped the meal was our service, she was absolutely lovely and added so much to our meal. She had only been working for three months at La Frasca but boy did she know her menu and her suggestions where bank on. ( Can't remember her name) 10/11/2019

We had a pleasant experience on our recent visit. The service was amazing, the food was yummy, and the wine was divine. Why is it so so loud in there? Not a spot for a romantic quiet dinner.

Five friends had the most incredible lunch at this restaurant today! We were celebrating a birthday and the birthday girl always gets to choose the restaurant. We had all separately eaten there previously and always enjoyed it but today was even more spectacular. Gigi, our server is a gem and a naturally kind, friendly and so very efficient. I had mentioned that I didn't like the soup of the day which went along with my choice of sandwich. She went to the kitchen and within minutes returned to ask if I liked another kind and said that would also be offered. How often does someone take the time or care enough to do something like that. And it says volumes for the chef, owner, etc. to be so customer focused and wanting to please everyone. The food was absolutely amazing, so beautifully presented and the flavors were off the chart delicious! Fabulous on all levels! Thank you for such an incredible dining experience.

Reviewed By jjluke

Tomavino’s is on the walkway by the Halifax Seaport Farmer’s Market. The style of restaurant is a sit down, quick service style in nature – you pay for your meal and it is delivered to your table. That said, the ambience was quite nice and the food was quite filling. I had the lobster roll with Caesar Salad and it was a very solid meal indeed, even the salad was quite nice. My wife had the lasagna and enjoyed it as well. Both were portioned fairly well for the $20 price tag at time of writing. Very good value for what you pay and great flavors.Please indicate if you found this review to be helpful as it will help me focus my future efforts. Enjoy your trip!
