Excellent service & amazing food!
I've only ever had the cavatelli's from Brama through delivery before this dine-in experience & it was so good I couldn't even imagine how it would taste fresh at the table. They really did not disappoint.
I spent about $275 for two people but I also paid for all the appetizers for 4 people & a drink.
Cavolo Riccio salad (Beets, goat cheese & apple in a kale salad): it was delicious & creamy but a little bit too sweet for me since I wanted something more refreshing. I was mind blown though because this salad tasted exactly like a CREAMSICLE.
Arancini: the sauce was good, everything had great texture, it wasn't dry, very cheese & fluffy. My friends loved it.
Octopus: very delicious, slightly tangy & sweet. The texture was perfect & I like the little pieces of potatoes in there.
Lamb chops: WOW. It was the star of the show. Comes with 3 pieces but you can add another piece for $9. The sauce was refreshing- minty I think, the lamb itself was seasoned to perfection, it wasn't too gamey, so tender & juicy. I would be happy just eating that all night.
Linguini seafood pasta: pasta was cooked just right, seafood was tender & the sauce was very light, very light on the salt & easy to eat. Delicious!
Bolognese Spaghettoni: the texture of this pasta was phenomenal. I love the bite it has, the sauce was delicious but very salty. I love salty foods so it was perfect for me but might be hard for the average Joe to eat.
Fettuccini Rosée: I normally do not get a plain rosée pasta since it's easy to make & seem so simple but WOW I regret not getting that myself. It was so good, flavours were perfectly balanced & I love the pasta shape.
Gnocchi Pancetta: I wasn't too wowed by this but maybe because the gnocchi was so soft & pillowy I was very surprised! I think it was a texture thing for me but I'm sure making gnocchi that soft must take a lot of skills so I would recommend it if you like soft gnocchi/foods!
Fantastic Italian food with authentic flavors! Everything was fresh, flavorful & beautifully prepared. It was delicious, warm atmosphere & excellent service. Can't wait to come back!!!
Last night, we had the pleasure of enjoying a wonderful meal with friends at Brama. While it was their first visit, we had dined there several times before. The stakes were high, as all of our friends are Italian (unlike my husband & I), & their opinion of a restaurant representing their native cuisine mattered greatly. We were a group of four couples.
We began with the calamari, which was light & crispy, served with a flavorful tarragon mayo. While we thoroughly enjoyed it, the portion felt a bit small for the price. The other three couples opted for the octopus salad, beautifully presented with fresh, delicious ingredients. It was a definite crowd-pleaser.
For the main courses, our group enjoyed a variety of pizzas & pastas, all of which were delicious. We ordered the Quattro Pizza, which surprisingly featured a blend of six cheeses, caramelized onions, & arugula. Although I typically don't enjoy salad on pizza-& didn't notice this ingredient listed on the menu-it turned out to be a pleasant surprise. The soft, airy dough with just the right amount of crispness was outstanding, especially paired with the hot honey on the side.
We also shared the ricotta cavatelli with beef cheeks, mushrooms, truffle sauce, & fior di latte-something our friends also ordered. This dish is truly a staple at Brama & an absolute winner. The melding of flavors was mouthwatering & not to be missed.
Another couple enjoyed the cavatelli with spicy sausage & raved about it as well. Additional dishes included a variety of pizzas-Soppressata, Mortadolce, & Salsiccia-a carnivore's dream that our group found flavorful & satisfying.
We toasted the evening with a Ripasso & a Chianti wine, along with Italian Birra Moretti, Heineken, & Sol beers.
Dessert featured carrot cake, hazelnut cheesecake, & a mixed berry gelato. All were enjoyable; however, the carrot cake-normally a favorite of mine-fell a bit short. It was slightly dry & lacked flavor, with minimal icing.
Overall, it was a lovely conclusion to a meal that satisfied our palates & made me proud of my restaurant choice. My Italian friends were genuinely impressed & confirmed they would definitely return.
A special mention goes to Courtney, our energetic & engaging server, who was friendly, professional, & knowledgeable, offering thoughtful details on every dish.
As always, John, the master chef, delivered a stellar experience that truly impressed our Italian guests.
The vibrant staff, inviting atmosphere, & exceptional food combined to create a memorable evening we won't soon forget.
Thank you🙏🏻🙏🏻🎉🎉
Excellent. Quick service, delicious fresh food & impeccable service. Sit at the bar, staff is great.
This is my second time ordering from this Italian restaurant through Uber Eats, & it's just as delicious & fresh as if I were dining there in person
We stumbled upon this restaurant by chance, looking for an alternative to our usual Pizza 900 & we're so glad we did! It's just a five minute walk from home, & it's quickly become a favorite. We've ordered several times, & the quality has been consistently excellent. The pizzas are perfectly cooked with fresh, high-quality ingredients. My sister tried the gnocchi & couldn't stop talking about them. A great local gem we're happy to have discovered!
Absolutely amazing.
I went there tonight with some family for a joint birthday dinner, & I was flabbergasted.
The food is absolutely delicious. We had burrata, arancini & polpette as appetizers, to start. It's ACTUAL burrata, & not what most places claim is burrata when it's just a piece of fresh mozzarella, & it's slightly expensive but the portion size plus the actually what is advertised is crazy good value.
The arancini were magnificent, crunchy, tasty, full of cheese, in a wonderful sauce. The polpette were crazy tender & very flavorful. The sauce the polpette comes with is different from the one that comes with the arancini, which shows great attention to detail.
Our mains were just as delicious, the pizza dough had delicious crunch & bite, the ingredients were top notch, & the absolutely killer hot oil was the highlight of the whole thing, so much that we asked our waiter what was in it & he actually showed us (I could barely believe it!). The other guests had different pasta, & they were all out of this world. The gnocchi were soft & pillowy, the Mac a la Gigi was spectacular, & the fetuccine really tasted home made.
All in a small cozy space that is homey & comfortable.
& the best part? For the quality of food that you get, the PRICE is impossible to beat. Honestly, it's very affordable food. Almost too affordable, & most likely has to do with the location, which is a bit weird right at the line where VSL goes from industrial to residential, but more power to them, since they price their food very reasonably. In any other part of town our bill would've been 50% more expensive.
TL;DR - go there. You won't regret it.
Fresh pasta, delicious octopus & decadent lamb chops! The pistachio cheesecake is a must for dessert!
I do not remember the last time I wrote a review for a restaurant . Went to dinner with my wife at Brama. One of our friends recommended it.
Being of Italian descent, I don't often eat at Italian restaurants & often times get disappointed.
Started with grilled octopus & kale salad.
Probably the best grilled octopus I ever had. Kale salad was perfectly balanced. Both portions were very generous.
Then we ordered the mac alla Gigi pasta & grilled salmon.
Hands down one of the best grilled salmon dishes I have eaten . The pasta was outstanding.
All the food was served hot & ingredients extremely fresh. Price point very reasonable in today's market for the quality of food received.
Thank you to John for the incredible culinary experience. Complimenti to you & your staff .
I must also acknowledge the service we received from our waitress. I apologize for not asking your name.
Will definitely be back very soon & I will get your name next time!

Perfect little place for an out of this world pizza & pasta experience. Home made pasta, fresh ingredients, perfect chewy pizza dough. Give it a try oh & try the pistachio cheese cake. A must. Will be back.
Absolutely phenomenal experience at Brama!
From start to finish, everything was exceptional. The burrata was bursting with flavour & served with perfectly grilled, seasoned baguette slices-truly a standout. The radicchio salad was unbelievable, & the cavatelli? To die for.
Service was outstanding-our waitress was warm & attentive, & we were lucky enough to meet the chef, who not only came out to chat with us but also generously treated us to two incredible desserts.
The tiramisu was easily one of the best I've ever had, but the pistachio cheesecake was next level. Light, perfectly baked, topped with fresh cream & a hint of orange blossom-this dessert changed my life.
I can't wait to go back. 100/100! Highly recommend!
We came here on a Friday afternoon & ordered two pasta dishes to go. The location is industrial, with free but limited street parking only.
The restaurant has a small & cozy dine in area & separate area for take out orders.
We tried the pappardelle Bolognese & cavatelli al guanciale. We noticed for some items the pricing online differed from the menu on site - the prices were cheaper online. I am not sure if this is because the menu wasn't updated or perhaps there is a different charge for dining on site.
We immediately went to the car & tasted the food, the pappardelle is described as cooked in a'slow cooked meat sauce with beef veal, pork & fennel sausage' however the sauce tasted more like plain tomato & was slightly too acidic. It was missing some sweetness & there wasn't nearly enough noticeable meat. The pasta was otherwise well cooked but this was an average dish. I would not re-order.
The cavatelli on the other hand was extremely flavorful, a rich creamy sauce that was very decadent. The only drawback was the shape of the pasta, these looked like fat maggots.
In terms of pricing & portion, I thought this was pretty fair since this is supposed to be fresh handmade pasta.
The location itself was difficult to get to for us & the size of the restaurant was quite small for dine in, we would have to make sure we reserve in advance if we planned on coming back.
We ordered take out from here & the food was delicious. The pizzas are a bit pricey for the size but I guess on par with other pizzerias. The ingredients were fresh & full of flavour. The other appetizers were good too. We feel the pizzas probably would've been best to have had there right out of the oven, & one time we will try eating there as my husband said the restaurant is very nice & service is too.
Absolutely blown away by this place! As someone who's extremely particular about food, I rarely give 5-star reviews, but this restaurant deserves it. The attention to detail in every dish was impeccable. The ingredients were fresh, & the flavors were perfectly balanced-nothing too overpowering or bland. The chef clearly knows how to bring out the best in each component. The service was top-notch, too-attentive without being intrusive, & they really made an effort to customize my order to my preferences. It's hard to find a spot that satisfies someone like me, but this place absolutely nailed it. Highly recommend!"
The pizza was just okay. Fresh ingredients but all the toppings were stuck to the cheese. The Toasted Marshmallow gelato had little chunks of ice in it. Not a fan & it's a small portion for 7CAD. The star of the show is the MUSIC & the PASTA. Wow that pasta was definitely a 9/10. The portion was decently good, the flavor was good. Get the Linguine or Mac. Thank me later. My party enjoyed only the Margherita pizza but you will need to add chili oil & parm. The vibes are good. The staff was kind. The pasta & music saved the day. Skip on the pizza. Skip on the gelato imho.
I ordered by UberEats & it was absolutely incredible. Fresh & good quality ingredients. Generous portions. Will order here again!
