Small, Dim and Cozy. Locally Grown, Italian Inspired, Served with LOVE.
Exceptional.
I’ve eaten here several times over the years and it’s previously been fantastic. This time it was just good. The service was a bit slow and unfriendly. The bread we had to ask for twice was stale (toasting didn’t hide it). The pasta was good, but the duck needed more sauce to cut the richness. And charging a pregnant woman (or anyone) $4 for a fountain pop is a bit much. A little disappointed tonight.
The atmosphere is very casual and intimate. For our group of 5 it was perfect but also very nice for a couple. The food was very good and a nice selection without overwhelming you. The wine list is a little tough if you are not familiar with Italian wines. Having someone who is very familiar with them when ordering would be helpful when trying to describe what you are looking for. Would return.
There were some interesting choices, but something for everyone. Fresh garden tomatoes!!! The pizza was fantastic and I know pizza. I order pizza every chance I get including all over Italy. Highly recommend trying Local Kitchen. We’ll be back for more pizza for sure!
Unfortunate, will not recommend nor return.
I’ve been several times in the past and was always impressed. The food was always fantastic. Not sure what happened in the kitchen this time. So I would recommend with a caveat.
The restaurant is nice and cozy. Very friendly service. Great food and drinks. We loved the scallops, mackerel, pizza and Nutella gelato.
Crowded, noisy, busy with great food and great atmosphere – we love it!
I had been there before and I knew that my hubby would love the food and the ambiance. We were there to celebrate our 3rd wedding anniversary! The food was delicious as usual. It was a little noisy and it was unfortunate that they only had Prosecco by the bottle (all other options on the menu weren’t available 😢). Anyway, we ended up having 2 bottles of Prosecco and our waiter Victoria was amazing! I definitely recommend this place if you want to celebrate a special day with your SO or if you want to have some fun with your friends! One last thing: the setlist was something else! Good job guys!
Amazing food, great service, great location
Amazing ambience and food
Awesome restaurant! Food was amazing and staff was exceptional and friendly. Highly recommend!
Some appetizers were good but kale salad was tough and flavourless and mozzarella was hard and salty. Entrees were terrible. One was sent back for something else and replacement was not much better. Will not return.
This is the second time in a week that I’ve been to open kitchen and wine bar. The food is delicious. The Brussels sprouts and scallops were amazing. I had the sea bream during winterlicious and it was so yummy. Definitely going back!
Absolutely perfect!!! The food, the service, the decor and the music was amazing. I can’t wait to go back and try something else or the same thing.

This was the ideal spot for valentines. We came a bit early around 6:15 to avoid the evening dinner rush and cozied up! My experience at local kitchen this time tops every other time I’ve been. The valentine set menu was superb and there were no bumps with my order. The pasta was to die for… left us daydreaming about it for days to come
Everything seemed to be hit or miss. Seared scallop appetizer easy tasty cooked perfectly but a little salty. Ossubuco pasta was bland. Tasted like boiled ground beef and ramen noodle. Fried brussel sprouts were the hit of the night. A nice chat with a great tangy taste. Duck breast was overcooked and the skin was rubbery and chewy. The polenta was bland and lacked seasoning. Steak was good but again the vegetables were bland and unseasoned. The onion rings were reminiscent of ones you’d get from Harvey’s but not crispy. We passed on dessert in favour of going someplace else.
Always a good time
Great small place. Service was good as was the food. Only concern was pasta was not hot when served.
Amazing food, very original. Fresh pasta was delicious. Very reasonably priced compared to some other similar Italian restaurants. The portions were the right size, and everything tasted like it was made from scratch. Would go again and recommend this restaurant to others. It fills up fast, so make reservations early. Accommodating to vegetarians – lots of options on the menu, and they were able to make a non-veg pasta dish into a veg dish.
Fantastic. The food was top notch I would recommend this restaurant 100%. They also have corkage for $30 a bottle. Terrific meal and even better atmosphere.
