"We booked a table at Eatalia through Open Table for Saturday night. When we arrived we were given a high table (like a cruiser table) and were told there were no regular tables available. Once we sat down we were told there were no entrees or risotto dishes available due to one of the stoves in the kitchen breaking down. Both of these statements were lies. The restaurant was only half full so there were plenty of tables available. There was a group (wedding - around 20 people) that night and I noticed they were eating chicken, risotto, and other entree items. Apparently they just couldn't handle more orders so they decided to lie about it. They had phone numbers - they could have called instead they made their wait staff lie."

"Eatalia is a small little place on Brant Street with some of the best food in Burlington! I highly recommend the Arctic Char, which was cooked brilliantly and served with a smart assortment of cooked vegetables. Eatalia is perfect for families and couples, but the small environment likely wouldn't make it too accommodating for children. If you haven't already, definitely give Eatalia a try!"

"Although we all enjoyed our food, we were disappointed in terms if drinks. My friend ordered gin and tonic and he thought for sure there was no gin in it. I tried it as well and he was right. There wasn't the slightest hint of gin. We called the waitress to let her know but she insisted she put an ounce of gin. I don't know but maybe someone switched the gin bottle with water in it. Also, I'm not sure why she would be fixing our drinks and not the bar tender. Anyway, I thought the fact that two of us vouched that the drink was not right that she would offer to replace it with something else but she didn't. That was very disappointing."

"We had a great experience at Eatalia on Saturday night. My three friends had never been there before and were very impressed with the restaurant. Taste of Burlington was amazing and very reasonably priced! The restaurant was busy, but the noise level was not bad. Our server was lovely. YOur restaurant is a hidden gem and I really think you should somehow make more people aware of it. Two of my friends with me live and work in Burlington and had no idea how nice Eatalia is. They thought it was more roadhouse type food. Eatalia is definitely fine dining and a fun place to spend an evening. We look forward to coming back!!"

"Eatalia had the misfortine of some technical difficulty on the day of my reservation, but they compensated beautifully. Too bad I could enjoy a nice served meal there, ad I remember having a lovely lunch there last year during the Taste of Burlington event."

"We were just complaining that there were few very good Italian restaurants in Burlington, only some ok/fusion ones but tons of small lovely ones in Toronto. We take it back. This restaurant offered stellar food with great service. Everything was very flavourful and the pasta cooked just perfect. My fiancé had a lamb shank which he pretty much finished in one go. The wine list is not only great, it's reasonable.
We were glad to literally eat our words and will be bringing friends and family on our next Italian craving.
The shape and the decor of the place are great too and we love that they tucked the wine cellar in the old bank vault.

"Food was delicious - but, very small plates. The Scallop dinner related to the size of an appetizer. 2 medium size scallops as a dinner entree with a very small amount of barley & veggies, is less than expected. Cinnamon chicken entree was excellent tasting, but again small portion for an entree. We were thankful for the second plate of mixed breads which were fabulous - & this was after we all had an individual appetizer & entree. Seafood pasta was the expected entree size and again, delicious.
Server was excellent - friendly & helpful.
We will return (4 women), and now know only to order pasta or pizzas as entrees.
Great atmosphere.
