Borgo Antico Cucina Bar

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!!

One of the BEST authentic Italian restaurants in Oakville. I have been a big fan since they opened and have continued to come back for the delicious food and chats with the friendly staff. Service is superb. Definitely top 5 in Oakville on my list. Pictured is the grilled octopus starter and fish plate with shrimp and roasted seasonal veg. I really savoured every bite - such amazing flavours.

I absolutely loved this place. The food was superb and the staff friendly. The owner was awesome too! Highly recommend: I had the fish dish with large grilled Shrimp and it was so fresh and tasty. Had to get the bolognese as it is one of my favorite dishes and got it as a side dish; it is al dente and that is the way it’s supposed to be for those who think it’s not. If you want it more cooked just ask I’m sure they will do it for you but I thought it was perfect!

I’m actually really surprised by the 4.5 rating here. I got the rigatoni bolognese followed by the cheesecake. The pasta was definitely too al dente for my liking, and felt like it needed to be cooked more. The sauce was meh. It was fairly pricey for less than mediocre pasta. They did made a comeback with dessert because I loved the citrus cheesecake. I feel bad giving a mediocre review on the food, because the service was very friendly. I loved the laidback and inviting vibes. Overall, I do not see myself visiting this place again. Overly pricey for below average pasta.

Amazing food and spectacular service. Having dined at nearly all the restaurants in downtown Oakville, Borgia Antico stands above the rest. Authentic Italian food, full of flavour and generous portions, make the dining experience amazing. Service is without a doubt top notch. Several staff checked in with us multiple times but not too many, food was brought out at the right time, and dishes were cleared without us feeling rushed. Muskoka Sun cocktail was a perfect pairing with the sweltering heat outside. Highly recommend for romantic dinners or group gatherings.

I felt like I was in Italy and having authentic Italian cuisine. A must for all foodies and please share your opinion on what you had so I can try the same on my next visit. I asked the owner if they had any more branches and his honest reply was, “we do not want to dilute our quality as he prepares all the delicacies himself and will not trust anyone with his secret recipe.” Starters, Main Course and Desert all par excellence!!! Keep it up

Polenta fries wasn’t that good, you could smell the oil, but the salmon was great.

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.

Ended up here with a table of 8 good friends of mine. Couple weeks prior, we ended up across the street at another spot that was supposed to be the best – don’t waste your time and get over to this restaurant, this weekend. Amazing pasta, mushroom tag is great, great service, the waiter was straight from Italy and could barely understand him in the best way possible. This is the place

Excellent service and food. Very nice atmosphere. Had the linguine mare. So good I cleaned my plate.
