It is our 25th anniversary and our staff welcomes you to a unique dining experience, creating a festive but subtle ambience. During your meal you will catch a glimpse of chef Giovanni who will gladly exchange a few words and make sure that everything is to your taste. It is clearly our hospitality which encourages the development of this fine cuisine that we are proud to call Natalino.
With our lifetime culinary experience, Natalino has earned an endless reputation consisting of great food, surroundings and staff. We are always striving to conquer every goal we encounter, treating our customers like family.
Natalino comes across in reviews as a consistently loved Italian spot with excellent food, attentive service, and a warm, European-inspired ambiance. Diners praise a broad menu featuring pasta favorites, seafood linguini, shrimp Alfredo, veal, ravioli, calamari, and reliable desserts like tiramisu and affogato, as well as solid bruschetta and a good wine list; drinks such as a spicy margarita and strawberry daiquiri get mentions too. The staff are described as polite, friendly, and accommodating, with many noting that service is quick and professional, though a few visits report slower pacing on busier evenings or special events. The terrace and waterfront location add to a charming atmosphere, and most guests consider pricing reasonable for the quality, with several describing returns and recommending to friends. A few reviewers mention that the place can be noisy at times, and one or two dishes were noted as merely good rather than exceptional, but the overall tone remains highly positive with multiple guests calling Natalino a go-to for meals, family outings, or special occasions.
Excellent service, gracious & humorous waiter, warm ambiance & lovely Italian music. The caesar salad was very good, the gluten free pizza was just okay. Very good value.
Loved the experience, went for business at 11:30 & it was very quiet. Quick & friendly service. I loved the cuisine & would go back in the evening with my wife.
Have visited natalinos 4 times & they never disappoint. They give you bruschetta as a complimentary app & some bread. I usually stick to the tortellini but I tried their shrimp Alfredo & omg delicious! So creamy & great flavour. They also make really tasty drinks, my favourite was the spicy margarita. We ended one of dinners with the Affogato & what an amazing way to end our meal. The staff are always very polite & attentive. Will be recommending this place to my friends.

I eat at Natalino all the time: lunch, dinner...I am never disappointed. The food is great & the service is amazing! Great choices of food, reasonable priced & a really nice atmosphere. Will be back soon!
Had a great time here with my family. Service was amazing from the start, food was delicious & drinks were good! My family & I will be coming here more often since we moved close by. Can't wait to try to more things from the menu!
Veille nouvel an, réservé pour 20h, sommes restés jusqu'à presque 23h, service extrêmement lent. Environ 40 min entre chaque service. Avons laissé tomber café & prosecco inclus dans la table d'hôte pour ne pas avoir à réacheminer notre courrier au restaurant. Entrées & salade délicieuses, autres plats bons.

We went for the first time tonight, even though we live in Lachine & WOW were we impressed. Connor gave incredible service, as did all of his colleagues, everyone was so attentive, catering to our every need. My husbands veal & my pasta were perfection, the calamari was amazing & the dessert was amazing, I mean the entire experience was a dream & we can't wait to go back again.
Had my work party there & kind of disappointed. 1st I order wine which never came lol 2nd usually restaurants will bring fork & knives again if they take with your plate. They never brought any .
