I dined at Nirvana with several friends and had a fabulous time! The restaurant has great decor and ambience. The chairs are sooo comfortable! They have great paintings all over the restaurant and a great glass paneled tandoor, so you can see where the magic happens! You can taste the freshness in their ingredients. The menu has great variety and their drink menu is awesome. I just love the Nirvana martini! I heard about their lunch buffet where they serve fresh food on your table. I cant wait to try it next time I'm there.

This restaurant is by far the most delicious Italian restaurant I've ever been to. Not only is the food beautiful to look at, it melts in your mouth and the flavours are tremendous. I will definitely be going back with family and friends.

Loving the wonderful food and recently renovated atmosphere at Mondello Restaurant located on Queen Street in the heart of Streetsville. Chef Nico's special events and creations are a must try for everyone. Loved by families and even for just an appetizer and a nice evening out watching a live band and drinking some good wine with friends. This place makes you feel like home! My starter favourite - the Mondello Platter with it's succulent lamb skewers and cooked to perfection Calamari. And gotta love the PEI Mussels! And you just can't go wrong with any of Chef Nico's features. Bon appetito!

YOU CANT HANDLE GREEKS SERVICE! These guys were on fire! All because I waited 10 minutes to long for my table (which was reserved and occupied a little longer than expected, not to mention it was fully packed), they gave my girlfriend and I a drink on the house. I had Grappa! I live in Kensington Market, so this was out of our way and when your meeting the parents, you make the exception! So, we waited for the parents and when they finally arrived we ordered with the staff manager, as it was very busy. Very cool-headed young guy! We must have stayed an hour past our meal and chatted with our neighboring table, the staff, amongst ourselves... atmosphere was just outstanding its a very rich, non-intimidating place to be and sit around to have a drink. Ok, food? Brilliant. Vegetarian? SCHYT (sorry cant help you there). Order the Greek Paella without Chicken and Sausage... I tried it, and it was darn good!

First thing I like about this restaurant is the customer service, next for sure its the food. I will surely take my co-workers & my family again.

This was a fantastic experience. I went with my wife and we had a great time. We got a bunch of different dishes and it was all very good. We will definitely go again.

Great food and great experience I had!!!!!!!! Wonderful ambience with family. Food was amazing and oil free. Beautiful and hardworking staff. Best of all was the amazing fully stocked bar!!

Have been here a few times and have just told the server what section I want to order from (ie. Pasta or Pizza) and let him choose my dish. I have never been disappointed! My favourite so far is the Gnocci which melts in your mouth.

It's not easy finding a good restaurant that consistently performs in this neighbourhood. I have lived in the area for 7 years and have seen very good places turn into run of the mill, then dives, to eventually disappear; or some just aren't getting enough business to stay afloat. I guess people prefer the same blandness served at the over present chains..... So far I have been at Casalinga 5 or 6 times since it opened and always I am amazed and pleased at the quality and tastes of the food. The service is great, the menu selections and daily specials all very good. The wine selection is small but excellent. I'm sure hoping Casalinga is here to stay!
