Had a great 5à7 with office colleagues at Natalino in Dorval. The local, rustic vibe is fantastic, & the place was packed on a Wednesday evening-which says a lot about its popularity.
The food was excellent, especially the Boshcetto pizza & the absolutely delectable arancini. Service was warm & welcoming throughout, making the whole evening feel relaxed & enjoyable.
Definitely a great spot for a nice wine-&-dine, whether it's with colleagues, friends, or a date night. Highly recommended!
A new top favourite! This restaurant did not disappoint in any way. I started out with a cocktail, the cosmopolitan. No skimping on the alcohol. Thank you. Then we went on the appetizer, the Freddo, which is an antipasto for two. Everything on this platter was fresh. The tomatoes, soft mozzarella, prosciutto, salami, chunks of parmigiana & hard cheddar, olives, arugula & melon. For the main meal we ordered wine, the Farnito which is a great red Cabernet Sauvignon. I ordered the AAA steak & my husband ordered the minestrone & the osso buco. The soup, homemade & both cuts of meat an impressive thickness & cooked to perfection & tender. Dessert… I had the affogato which is vanilla ice cream served with a single serve espresso pot & my husband the tartufo. Yum is the only way to describe these two desserts. I ended my night with a Brazilian coffee & again no skimping on the alcohol. Thank you. My husband had a cappuccino. The atmosphere was very nice & not too loud. The service was amazing & on point, attentive, courteous & very friendly. We will be back 100% & we will recommend 100%.
Amazing food..awesome service..& just a wonderful place to have lunch or even supper...my lunch was a wonderful meal & a beautiful bottle of wine suggested by the server named Jack...will recommend this place to all my friends & family
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 .
First time at this restaurant we were 2 It was great! Nice Italian decor & very welcoming. Server was very professional & polite. Food was great! They offer 4 tasty bruchettas & some bread as appetizers which is not something you will get everywhere! (i took the marsala & a dessert) + they have a great wine selection & the house wine is very good!
The service was worthy of a Michelin Star.
The food was delicious. We had the calamari to start with & excellent wine one of the servers recommended. For dinner we had ravioli & the spaghetti alla carbonara. Tiramisu for dessert with espresso & the excellent service continued the whole time. We will absolutely go back, & highly recommend.
I recently had the pleasure of dining on the balcony of Natalino's family business on a beautiful summery day, & it was an experience to remember. From the moment I was warmly welcomed by the owner's son, Giovanni, I knew I was in for a treat. The meal started with their amazing house wine, which perfectly complemented the delightful atmosphere. The homemade house Caesar salad was simply one of the most delicious I've ever had - fresh, flavorful, & perfectly balanced. The highlight of the meal was the linguine with truffle mushroom cream sauce. It was outstanding, with rich & savory flavors that danced on the palate. The service was exceptional, making the entire experience memorable. The beautiful finish with Limoncello & an herbal liqueur, Amaro, dating from the 1800s, offered at the same time, was a nice touch. The restaurant is housed in a historical century-old building in Old Dorval, adding to its charm. Having just returned from Europe, I can confidently say that Natalino's food & service rivals them all. This restaurant is a gem that offers not only fantastic food but also a warm & inviting atmosphere. Highly recommended! 5/5
We were a party of 6 & it was the first time for some of us. The service was amazing considering the resto was packed. The food was incredible as was the wine selection. A cozy family ambiance.
