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.
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
