Went during the day for lunch. All of the party ordered something different and all of the dishes were amazing! They all tasted delicious. I ordered the sausage pasta, my wife ordered the lamb and one of our kids tried the seafood pasta while the other had the bolognese. We all loved our dishes! I love the seafood pasta so much (as did our daughter) that I will order that next time we go there. We also tried their desserts and they were also tasty! I understand other people's reviews about the service and being a bit slow. I could see that but the food made up for it! The owner even brought out the food himself and check in on us which was a nice touch.

I went here with my family for New Years Eve because I had been here before and really enjoyed the experience and thought it would be a great way to ring in the new year.

While I understand they were "busy", their New Years Eve menu had overpriced appetizers, the entrees were extremely subpar considering the price and the service was a huge disappointment. The server was rude, dismissive and unprofessional. In fact, he would come to take our order but be barely actively listening to anything we said. Honestly, if you're not able to support a New Years Eve set menu, maybe don't serve people. Just felt like an inconvenience the whole time we were there.

I don't leave reviews often but this was such an unprofessional and poor experience, I had to share.

The food was delicious and the service was amazing. We’re still raving about the homemade Italian tapenade. We will definitely be going back!

Food was very good! Small menu because everything is fresh.
The bread came with a tapenade (a bit revisited) that was absolutely delicious.
On top of that service was fantastic.
Great place!

Decided to check out BORGO ANTICO again in Oakville. Went on a SATURDAY at 8pm and it was truly fantastic. The service was so on point, the owner greeted us and we had a wonderful chat during dinner. The cuisine was so delicious and full of flavors. I really enjoyed this place. Definite 5 stars. I will be back 100%. Thank You - JAY T WARSH @jaytsandals

How things change.our first experience we had was really good from the service to the food, a 1year and a half later we went back andwere the first ones in the restaurants and after watching everone else get serviced and asking what happen to our dinner they said well you order a beef steak that takes a liitle more time, II've cooked may steaks in my life and steak take about 3 1/2 minutes per side.so didint like that excuse at all.when we finally got our meal the steak was suppose to be a strip lion but was a baseball steak instead and was flavourless and under cooked,
we also order the pasta with sauce and veal which taste good at all, sauce tasted way off hard to discripe just not enjoyable espically for kids, the spigolia over saffron rissotto was extermely skinny and small so all you eat was rissotto.
With eating out today food cost being as high as they are our experience was definatlely one of the worst experiences in a very look time.
Be careful.

Very friendly staff, always warm welcomes and joking around amongst dinner service. Great place to impress a date or friends, food is great. I’ve been a few times and can’t wait to go back.

We tried this place by chance as we couldn’t get seat in another Italian place nearby. The staff was good, not very helpful in explaining the menu. Some of the dishes we ordered lacked flavor like mushroom pasta was okish, but daily dish (linguini was good), fried cauliflower was also good along with fried shrimps and calamari. The mock-tails were not good at all, it was simply soda water with little syrup inside. The menu is very limited but definitely room for improvement.

We checked out this spot because of the good reviews, but nothing about it stood out. The food lacked a lot of flavour, our server seemed distracted, and the overall atmosphere was pretty standard. In particular, the risotto was soupy and the bolognese was very basic.

We've been back numerous times.first time prior to the pandemic. Food and drink has always been incredible. Service, surprisingly, and disappointingly after returning from the pandemic, has not been up to the food standard, and our original experience. Would just like a tiny bit more engagement, and then visible appreciation for our business after we spend a not unsizable $ amount.which we could have chosen to spend anywhere.

Great evening, great food and great service. Creme brulé a little to liquidy, but taste was right on point.

Very nice classic Italian.
The shrimp & calamari app was excellent.
Had the veal chops and was NOT hungry the next day - super delicious & filling.

Lovely place with large windows out front. Lovely and warm staff. Food was delicious from appetizers to dessert. Had Octopus for the first time and it was amazing. And the White was perfect for my Sea Bass.

Parking on the street was free for the night, guessing that's cos it's Sunday.

All in all, I'm surely going back!

Great restaurant in town. They have a reserved spot for bigger parties that is great for families with babies - it's not noisy at all

It was an amazing experience! We have a social set menu for a big group. Fried Cauliflower, veal meatballs, and cheese and tomato were amazing. We had three portions for the main course, the steaks (which I got and was perfectly cooked, however the piece of beef I got was not 100% tender), and the Trout (most got it and they loved it). Will go back there soon for sure

Definitely the worst service I’ve ever received, waiters are beyond lazy, they don’t care about what you ask for and take forever to get one thing as simple as olive oil. I was actually so tired of waiting I went and asked and saw the server on his phone and ignored me when I asked again. Another waitress then helped me. Food was not even anything special. I would definitely not recommend this place. I would give it a 0 if I could. Please do yourself a favour and don’t go here.

Food is great, Patio was lovely but for the cost per plate the service was awful. Hardly saw our server whichever staff it was, two different women were coming to our table and neither one could seem to figure out who was actually supposed to be serving us. Waited about 15 minutes to get our bill (Which had to be fixed 3 times before they were correct) when there were only 2 other tables in our section and no water refill even after having asked. Not to mention the server delivering our bills remarked she just wanted to go home- same! Won’t be returning

I don't typically write reviews however my family persuaded me after going for a mothers day lunch. We sat inside and the decorations were simplistic and not overpowering adding to the elegant feel of the restuaraunt. We were greeted by the owner which was nice. We got the seafood pasta, the tagliolini, and the truffle pasta, each of them were 5 stars. We ended the meal with a tirimisu which was light and delicious. Overall we would rate this place an 11/10. Exceeded our expectations, the staff were top tier and the food was absolutely delicious. We will definetely return and reccomened this place to others.

This is the best Italian restaurant I’ve already eaten! The food is delicious, the service here is extraordinary and the environment is very family-friendly!

Came to this place for the first time to celebrate a friend birthday. Good location in Oakville and ample parking in the back streets.

The restaurant is spacious, bright and nice.
The staff/servers are great, food was amazing.
I recommend this place because of good customer experience.

Took advantage of the Taste of Oakville festival to try this place. Did not disappoint! Food, service and atmosphere all top notch!

We went (3couples) In general it’s OK… nothing special and the decor is tacky, plastic lawn chairs aren’t exactly what I’d call downtown dining unless your on a patio (we weren’t). Food was certainly acceptable and fairly priced. A scoop of Tiramisu in a crystal DARQ glass that looks like it came from a gas station promotion is not exactly downtown either but whatever. Wine was priced at levels close to complete ridiculous levels. Service when he should up was pretty basic. Will I return? Likely not

Extremely disappointing. Food was mediocre, and service was unpolished and slow. Our appetizer came out an hour after we were seated. Calamari was clearly from frozen. The short rib was advertised by our waiter as fall-off-the-bone. I had a tough time chewing, let alone prying it off the bone. Presentation was lack-luster to say the least. The wine and tiramisu, however, was delicious. Really wanted to enjoy this meal, but the entire experience was flat. After tax and tip, dinner for two plus a bottle cost us a little over $300. You’d be better off spending that money somewhere else.

As a local realtor, I open explore the best restaurants for my clients. Borgo Antico is one of them. The wine taste perfect-the last one on the red wine list with the name starting with a letter “R”. The seafood linguine is good and chocolate ice cream is perfect.
