   Third time three new dishes all great. This place deserves way more recognition than it gets highly recommend for well prepared Italian food lovely atmosphere and reasonable prices by the way you can bring your own wine for a reasonable cork fee.

   This is our second time back in 2 months. We made sure not to order anything the same as last time to see if the experience is more rounded. With the exception of not particularly loving the trout everything else was top-notch grilled calamari in balsamic perfectly cooked sweet and sour sauce that went beautifully with it minestrone soup fantastic and the vegetarian penne Rose superb the other great thing is you can bring in your own wine and they charge a court fee and we brought a gorgeous bottle that we ended up sharing a little bit with the owner and it was just so much fun.. very sweet people for an intimate quiet night midweek magnificent. So between two visits they are 7 for 8.. that's a pretty impressive batting average!

   Really enjoyed our return to Baldini post pandemic. It’s a warm environment with traditional but well prepared Italian food. Generous portions and well priced. Wait staff is attentive. Would highly recommend.

   Everything was prepared very well it was quiet because it was a Tuesday night highly recommend for a simple Italian night out with very well prepared food. We had mussels to start,, (very fresh) mushroom risotto and black cod and tiramisu to finish.. reasonably priced as well!

   Quaint little restaurant with good ambience. Visited during the week and got the last table. Restaurant was packed by 8 pm. One waiter serving the tables. We had 1/2 dozen oysters, an order of garlic bread, glass of house wine, top sirloin steak entree and spaghetti bolognese. Oysters and Bolognese were very good, highly recommend the Bolognese. Would not order the garlic bread again as they used 'Costco like' square focaccia bread with garlic butter spread. Their house bread was better. We ordered the top sirloin medium rare. Could not bite through it. My partner spoke to the waiter, waiter said he'd bring a new plate, a few minutes later chef came out with the same plate, said that this is top sirloin, he can cook it more but it will be the same if we gave you another piece. We promptly replied, we'll take it go and shortly thereafter asked for the bill, paid and left.... Needless to say we won't be going back anytime soon. ☹️

   The kitchen was super slow, because even with a lot of people gone, it still took forever for us to get her food. Food was just average nothing special at all.

   Strangely the 4 of us were the only diners that evening, a Wednesday,strange. I had a very dry, very good vodka martini to start. Others stayed with wine. As appetizers the grilled calamari and the garlic shrimp were very good as were the pasta dishes and chicken supreme but the spaghetti carbonara was not up to my expectations. More garlic and bacon definitely needed with a creamier sauce . Not my favourite. But everyone left happy if somewhat puzzled over the lack of customers that night.

    The food was really plain in terms of flavour, it felt like barilla pasta + a store-bought sauce. The waiter was nice, and the music was really low so we could hear each other well. They did not change table cloths nor sanitized between guests.

    This was my first visit, of what will, hopefully, be many! The service was excellent, the staff was friendly and attentive; they provided helpful suggestions about the menu. All Covid protocols were followed and we felt very comfortable. The food was delish and the portions were generous. There were lots of offerings on the menu, we chose pasta dishes and were delighted with the quality of the food! Patrick was one of our servers and he was a consummate professional! I am so grateful that local businesses are hanging in while we migrate through Covid, thank you Baldini 😊

    Review would have been better HOWEVER, food took a very long time. We were a group of 10, so expected a bit of a wait, but 3 course dinner took 3 hrs. Appetizers took 45 minutes (mainly salad) and mains another hour. Service was friendly and attended to water glasses which is good, but throughout the excessively long wait times, there was no communication of a delay and no offering of bread until we asked during our mains. To add insult to injury was an after tax autograt of 20%. If you’re billing above market on your tip, it better be exceptional. Overall it seemed like an unfortunate case of the server knowing they didn’t have to work for their tip. All in all the food was good and they got everything right. On the fence if I’d go back. I certainly wouldn’t recommend this place if you’re more than 4 people.

    We arrived on time for our Valentines Day reservation - behind four other couples with reservations at the same time. Restaurant was either understaffed or unprepared. There were no tables available, no one to greet us, and when I found a server he said we would have to wait until a table was available. 25 minutes later, we were seated. No one offered us a drink - not even water. Throughout the evening, we had to ask for everything. The main course came before we were finished with appetizers. My partner ordered Lobster Papardelle and was served over-salted Lobster with Fettucine. I ordered duck breast - was not asked how I wanted it - and it arrived well-done and dry. Supposedly this restaurant has been around for 17 years .... not sure how that could be possible!

    We were fortunate to get a table on Valentine’s Day. Since we were going to a performance we ordered a few small plates to share. We appreciated the pleasant way we were treated in spite of not ordering the full special for the evening. Service was quick and friendly. Food was delicious and generous.

    Great food, service, and ambience. Only shortcoming was a limited time of 1.5 hrs which we didn't understand until the next patron was waiting. (We were seated@ 17:35) Would have been OK, but they weren't quick to take our order initially. We hustled, and overall it was very good.

    My friend and I had dinner here for her birthday. It was really excellent. Our server was friendly, professional, very helpful regarding dinner choices and a pleasure to meet. The dishes including veal Piccata and veal marsala were perfect. The Caesar salad very good too as well as chocolate tartufo. There will definitely be a return visit.
