"Involtinin is consistently good and has been for many years. The dedication of the staff is obvious and the experience is a warm and welcoming one. The food is always delicious, perfectly hot and great portion size. I would highly recommend a trip to Oakridge to experience this gem of a restaurant."

"We have gone to Involtini ever since it opened. The combination of good food and warm, attentive service, particularly by Gerry and Tammie, the owners, makes this our most frequented restaurant. Their effort to make every experience memorable shines."

"We had not been there for a couple of years.
Service is still great. The new lay out is a definite improvement.
We each had a different special. My husband was delighted with his, I though my fish was overcooked, a little chewy in spots.
Great presentation and taste."

"We had never even heard of Involtini so we thought we would give it a try. We had some delicious baked Brie as an appetizer. It was outstanding. Our server, (I can't believe I forgot her name) was fantastic. She was just a young girl, perhaps her first serving job, and she did it well. My boyfriend and I are both ex-servers and we thought she did an amazing job. All our food was delicious, however, my food tasted a lot like liquid smoke, and this flavour permeated all my dishes. Other than that, everything was just perfect."

"The service was a little rough. The young kid was quite nervous and almost spilled my wine when grating the cheese. The main waiter was ok, he just kept trying to take our bread away even though we were still nibbling on it. The food was great. Everything we had had great flavour. I would recomment this restaurant if you like Italian food and I will go back."

"Not a vast array of items on the menu to choose from if you didn't like seafood or mushrooms. Hot appetizers were prepared beforehand so were very dry. Mains were very overcooked and risotto was soupy and mushy. Unimpressed with the food. Service was okay but as it was very busy, we sat in the restaurant for 2 hours and still had to go home to eat after. Will not return and highly recommend NOT going to this restaurant."

"You drive up to a strip mall, enter the little entrance...walk in through the double doors and you are transported to a little bit of culinary heaven. There are two rooms ..you wouldn't even know the other room existed....when you are at your table, it is as if you are at your own dining table...there are no people crowded on top of you. The tables are spaced perfectly to give you the privacy you need...good for friends trying to converse, great for couples having a romantic dinner. The ambience is perfect...low light not dark, quiet not silent....
And then the menu...varied and each description is enticing and salivatory.. difficult to choose as each one sounds better than the next..and they are..fish, steak, chicken, pasta, risotto...yum"
