We have lived in Collingwood for 3 years and for some reason had never been to San Diego Italian Restaurant- big mistake on our part- we have been missing out on this hidden gem for all that time! Service and food quality were both fantastic. I had the spaghetti carbonara while my wife had the spaghetti bolognaise after ceaser salad and escargot starters. Everything was fresh and flavorful and the pasta was served piping hot- just the way we like it. We are hooked, this will become a regular spot for us and I highly recommend it to those looking for a great Italian meal.Thank you very much for your beautiful review.

We dropped into Toppers for the first time and placed an order as a âwalk inâ customer. We ordered a large pepperoni with an additional topping. Total cost $18.50 plus tax. Grabbed our pizza and left.Afterwards our neighbour did the same but he got the âwalk inâ special of a large pepperoni with no additional toppings. Cost $11.00. So for the additional topping I paid $7.50. The clerk did not even offer the special to us or alert us to the fact that there was a special where you could add an additional item for a smaller charge. They went off of the fact that we were not aware of the special which after checking, is posted on the window. The looked at it that they could make an extra 7 bucks off of us.Very short term thinking. Lost a future customer. Beware.Besides the pizza was mediocre at best and was pretty small for being tabbed a large.

Still good service and food. It could use a total menu restyle or revamp. Some items havenât changed in quite some time. We were in the patio and service did take longer than usual, even though we ordered our usual. We still love it, but would like to be totally impressed sometime soon.

A gift certificate for the Pie Wood Fired Pizza Joint on First Street in Collingwood is what got us to their front door. We had heard about this restaurant, one of many in this tourist-busy town, but had never visited there even though we live in Collingwood.As we walked into Pie Wood Fired Pizza Joint the friendliest greeting ever â in our opinion â greeted us. A receptionist showed us to a booth and the friendliness continued. Our server was Katie and she took our order for Chicken Fettuccine ($16.00) and Porky Pie ($19.00), along with a coffee ($2.25) and a Diet Coke ($2.99). Our drinks were brought to us before our meals arrived and that gave us time to watch what was happening in the largely open-space restaurant, which also has a bar.It seemed to me that people enjoy working here, things were friendly.We enjoyed our meals, but there was quite a bit to the Chicken Fettuccine so my partner opted to take her left-overs home. No problem. A friendly server provided us with a take-away container.Overall the dining experience here was one we would repeat. On our way out to our car, in the parking lot, we met two adults and a youth going in to have some dinner. The man, it turned out, is a major âmover and shakerâ in a Canadian restaurant franchise. While we would recommend Pie Wood Fired Pizza Joint, it would be interesting to know what that in-coming customer thought of it. If you have never been to Pie Wood Fired Pizza Joint, take a few minutes to read through their menu. It's interesting in itself with such things as Queen Pie, Eggs Benny Pie, Beauty Pie and Hedge Hog Pie; just to mention some of the many choices they offer.With tax our total bill came to $45.47 and on their invoice to us they provided a âGratuity Suggestion Guideâ of 18 per cent which equals $7.24. I believe that with the excellent service we found, the staff members at Pie Wood Fired Pizza Joint deserve their gratuities.

Some serious issues with cleanliness, handling money and raw ingredients. Don needs to clean his pans, floor and everything else. Hire some help so he can keep up with orders. Cash only. Pepperoni is poor quality, cheese is good, sauce is sour, crust is homemade and fine. Price is good. Invest in display case so you can sell to kids by the slice. Really like Don though what a character. Takeout only. Maybe panzerotti's are better.

Eatery serving refined Italian cuisine with a focus on local ingredients & fine wines in a homey, elegant atmosphere.

We arrived at this popular spot without a reservation and asked to be seated at the bar. The friendly hostess accommodated us and explained that they were very busy and that drinks would be served immediately but that food could take 20 minutes, which was fine with us. We appreciated her and the other staff doing a great job while very busy. We ordered âcatch of the dayâ which was trout. The menu lists âcatch of the dayâ as always being served with carrot purée and fingerling potatoes. To always accompany a different daily âcatch of the dayâ with the same sides shows lack of creativity. Not all types of fish go with carrot purée and fingerling potatoes. In our case, as we asked for no potatoes and were told theyâd add more puréed carrots. The plate arrived with a generous, well seasoned and properly cooked piece of trout. However, the trout sat in a sea of carrot purée which made the fish skin unappealingly limp and the appearance of the dish wasnât appetizing. We wanted a pasta and chicken fusilli al forno was delicious! Again a generous portion served piping hot. Lovely and cheesy. Note to restaurant: teach staff how to grind pepper over customer orders and make sure there are peppercorns in the pepper mill. Holding a pepper mill horizontally while grinding out no pepper is ineffective. Also, seating at the bar demands better bar stools and tidying up the bar.

Five people, five great dinners. We were all impressed by the wide selection of our favourite classic Italians dishes. From the complimentary antipasto tray through several courses, everything was clearly made fresh and inhouse. The staff were very knowlegeable and accomodating.
