That Little Place By The Lights

I have not yet the pleasure of visiting this restaurant however, do plan a visit when next time passing through Huntsville.
Re: comment of poor customer rating from customer who arrived with wife & children.
Given the otherwise amazing reviews, one can only speculate or wonder why such remarks come from?
What ever the dissatisfaction, this customer should have expressed his issues with Mgmt.
Adding insult to injury only makes one look inept.

Little Place is somewhere that I frequent! This place has amazing food, I've never had a bad thing, their patio in the Summer is a hidden gem. The staff are friendly & are always awesome. It is one of my top places to eat in Huntsville!

Eating here made me think of visiting my husband's Nonna. Excellent food, great wine, and a welcoming atmosphere. Drinks, dinner, dessert, coffee—my husband and I enjoyed everything.

It is a good Italian restaurant I do recommend the frutti di mare and chicken wrap the service is good except missed one of our orders

I would give six stars for the service if I could! This place has great Italian style food with excellent service making it a wonderful dining experience. The prices are very reasonable and worth every penny.

Really enjoyed the food (panino) and the service was great. However, it’s a small but important thing. This restaurant clearly cares about the appearance, taste and aroma of its excellent food. However, the strongly scented hand soap in the washrooms overpowered the sandwiches eaten by hand. I appreciate it’s a local product but its fragrance kind of beats the aroma of the food, literally, hands down. Hope this can be reconsidered. Great place. Update: Hundreds of kilometres and one EnRoute washroom stop later and we’re still smelling the hand soap.

The place is wonderful
Loved the gnocchi, linguini and the lasagna.
The show stealer was the caramel cheesecake.
Shoutout to Michelle for making the experience even more wonderful. She deserves a Michellein star.
Maddy at the desk was helpful.
Sit outside it’s worth the view.

Always a favorite stop when visiting. Best Gelato I have ever had. Friendly staff, clean, and has a great location. There is plenty of parking around town.

I don’t know what all the hype is about. I ordered the lasagna. It was dry and overcooked like it was reheated a few times. My boyfriend ordered the sausage penne and it also was dry. Looked like it too was reheated or sitting under a hot lamp too long. I was looking forward to eating at this place and so disappointed. The service was ok, nothing special.

My family was in Muskoka for a few days and thought we would give this place a try. BIG MISTAKE! It is run down and dingy. They don't take reservations so you have to put your name down on a long list with a minimum of 20-40 minute wait. There was nowhere to sit and wait. I explained to the owner I had a broken leg and it was much too painful for me to stand for such a long time. He absolutely didnt care, and showed no compassion. He was unpleasant, gruff and unfriendly. He told me to go for a walk and look at the shops. I'm in my 70's and my recovery from breaking my leg and ankle has been slow and very difficult. I explained once again to him that my leg was broken and I couldn't walk around. He didn't give a damn. A very kind person who was waiting for her food overheard my conversation with him offered me her seat. I refused at first because I told my husband that I thought we should leave but my husband said we had driven 30 minutes and he didn't want to look for another restaurant since we are not familiar with the restaurants in the area. I gratefully took her up on her offer for her seat, but when her food came I got up thanked the kind person. The people in the table next to me were eating pizza and it looked awful. I had enough when the nasty owner told me we hadn't moved on the list. He obviously didn't care about my disability and I felt this nothing special restaurant did not deserve our business. I strongly recommend you avoid this restaurant.
We drove to Turtle Jack's in Port Carling. It has a beautiful view on the Lake. They were amazing to me and my family. Our waiter was Joey and was outstanding.

After trying a few restaurants in Huntsville, came across this little gem. I had the Gnocchi with Rose sauce (added some shrimp too) and without a doubt, the best pasta dish I have ever had. The sauce was superb and the Gnocchi cooked to perfection. Cannot recommend this restaurant enough!

We tried to dine here last night on the patio, left our name at 6: 30 to be called once a table was ready, it's currently 12: 10pm the following day and we haven't gotten a call. Thanks guys

It's always great having little Italy in the center of Huntsville. Manny and his Mom are wonderful. Moma knows how to cook and raised a good boy. Enjoy the little place by the lights I do

We have eaten here 2 nights in a row. Both times we were not disappointed. Add to that the great view of the lake and the nice service, gladly one last time tomorrow before we continue.

Arrived at 6: 30pm for a table. We had kids and a senior mother (80 years). My wife politely asked can we order before since we had kids. The owner (bald guy) not an employee told my mom 80 year old senior “we do not take orders before and we will serve you like civilized people do ”. My wife asked what pastas do you have for kids, he said rudely said “look at the menu”. We asked him we will never come back, he said “have a good vacation, and said go write whatever you want in the reviews”. Never in my life am I stepping and strong encourage people to boycott this rude and arrogant mans restaurant. We went down the street to main st village kitchen and the owner greeted us and treated us ver utter respect. That’s the only thing we ask. Maybe we were treated like this because we are south Asian.

A great Italian restaurant in Huntsville. The food we enjoyed was excellent. I highly recommend the homemade Gnocchi! Prices ok too with friendly service.

This, by far, is my favorite Italian restaurant. Great portions, excellent quality, and friendly service. If you're anywhere in Muskoka, "You gotta eat here"!

Very nice place in Huntsville. Highly recommended. The food was excellent. Mushroom ravioli was delicious, and the stracciatale ice cream with two shots of expresso was a perfect ending of this pleasant dinner. Michele was very, very nice. Her high class service made this an unforgetfull experience

We had a great dinner here this evening! We ordered the puttanesca and fruitti di Mare. Both were delicious, scallops cooked perfectly. Paired delightfully with a glass of seafood & co which was a refreshing wine I haven't seen offered anywhere else! Service was super friendly and attentive, overall a great experience!

Absolutly NOT recommend! Too long and awkward service. I went there for lunch with my parents and kid. We ordered and waited… I told the server to bring whatever is ready first. But she said they only serve all together. Weird. Then we could only get one greek salad after 30 mins. The tall lady said she will bring other food when ready. I kept watching her.she ignored.and brought some bread and she charged them ><. After 20 mins, we finally had 2 pizza and 2 pasta. There were nothing to take that long time (50 mins!) but it ruined my day today, regret and felt sorry to my family that I said to come here.

Pro:
- Overall the main meals we ordered tasted good.
- They had a good selection of food with variety of options
- When we arrived the restaurant wasn’t full and they were accommodating to a larger group

Cons:
- after eating a couple of pieces of bread, which is served before the main dishes, hair was found on one of the pieces of bread
- it took a long time to get our food. Even though we were a larger group we ordered 6 dishes and 2 drinks - took over an hour to get our food
-one of the dishes they recommended didn’t come out with the rest of the meals
-waited another 20mins for the missing dish and ended up with the incorrect dish
- they apologized but never asked how the rest of the dishes were or how we were doing

Overall, it’s unfortunate the service didn’t match the quality of the main dishes. I recognize that mistakes happen - but really felt like there was a lack of acknowledgment and desire to make things right.

This place is great for families. They are so friendly and the food is amazing. It's hard to say which dish was the best; we had pizza, spaghetti Alfredo and gnocchi! All of it was out of the world yummy! Pasta sauces were creamyily delicious! And dint leave without trying the gelato!
