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.
I've been an invited guest to the hall upstairs for an engagement party & sadly after a funeral. A selection of four entrées as well as a main course made it simpler to choose & get back to offering comfort & conversation to the family. Warm bread was brought within minutes of sitting down & coffee. The service was excellent & the waiter who was working alone still managed to provide an efficient & pleasant atmosphere to all guests. The meal was followed by a white chocolate cake with whipped cream which reflected the holiday period. A coat rack & washrooms on the same floor offered convenience to twenty guests.
We went there 3 times. Food is excellent. The reason why I put only 2 stars is because of the service. I was not impressed the 2 first times but that was ok, not great, not bad. The 3rd time, we booked the table, arrived on time & the restaurant was full. That is ok, we can wait. They showed us where we were going to seat as guests were paying their bill. Fine. A new group of customers entered the restaurant, clearly people who are used to eat there. They arrived 10 minutes after us &, apparently, they also had a booking at the same time than us (they were late). As soon as "our" table was free, the waitress proposed them to seat at "our" table without even looking at us or without saying one word. When we asked her whether it was a mistake, she told us we can wait a bit longer, there will be a new table soon... That is elegant. Not a great experience. Regarding the atmosphere, in the evening it tends to be quite dark. A bit more light would be nice.
Repas, tout est délicieux Le service est ok sans plus sensation de déranger Atmosphère assez bruyant malgré la spécification d'avoir une table dans un coin tranquille. On s'est éternisé un peu, versc14 hres, il n'y avait plus personne sur place le personnel à jugé bon de monter le volume de la radio à un niveau agressant mais on a tenu bon & resté jusqu'à 15hre30 La bouffe y est excellente & les prix sont corrects pour dîner, $$$ au souper les prix ne sont pas les mêmes du tout 🤔 $$$$

Had an incredible dining experience at lunch. The lobster bisque & pistachio tartuffo were hands down the best I have ever had. Veal & pasta were cooked to perfection. Service was quick & staff was very knowledgeable & friendly. The chef even came to see us. I cannot recommend Natalino enough & will be back!
We chose Natalino's for a family celebration event. We were a group of 16-18 persons so we went with the group menu. Having eating at this resto before, we already knew that it has good food & ambience. The section where we were seated was nice & secluded which made it itimate. Add to that our assigned server Conner was very attentive, always within reach if any thing was needed, & seamlessly made sure our guests were all attended to. Portion sizes were good, birthday cake delish! Came out feeling satified , our guests all had only positive feedback. Will definitely be back & recommend .
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.

Je suis allée chez Natalino pour une occasion spéciale avec ma fille le 13 octobre.
D’abord, le service était familier & peu professionnel, la serveuse étant semi-infantilisante (voir condescendante) avec ma fille de 7 ans.
La nourriture fut passable. De petites toasts Melba offertes avec sauce & fromage grillé digne des années 80 en entrée, pizza équivalente à une chaîne telle Dominos & pâtes vongole pour moi, bonnes.
Lors de notre visite, toute une section du restaurant était en rénovation & fermée par un plastique “scellé”. Quiconque ayant fait des rénovations sait à quel point cela n’est jamais hermétique complètement, ce qui est choquant pour un environnement où l’hygiène est de mise.
Le comble fut de constater que des ouvriers étaient en plein travaux, une fois notre repas commandé. Bruits de perceuse, marteau, échafaudages qui font un vacarme nous ont accompagné tout le long du repas. J’étais abasourdie que l’on ne vienne pas nous voir pour s’excuser, d’emblée. Après que j’aie soulevé le point à un serveur qui circulait comme si tout était normal, je me suis fait répondre que cela allait cesser d’ici 5 min, ce ne fut évidement pas le cas. Suite à mon commentaire, le volume de la musique fut significativement augmenté pour en faire un beau capharnaüm. C’était risible mais comme j’étais avec ma fille, je me suis retenue de me lever & de partir.
J’ai par la suite demandé à être déplacée de l’autre côté du restaurant car on nous avait assises à 1 pied de la pellicule de plastique. On m’a repondu que cela n’allait faire aucune différence (?) & que cela allait terminer incessamment. Évidemment, ce ne fut pas le cas & à nouveau, aucune excuse du serveur. Comme si tout était normal.
Après avoir payé & sur le pas de la porte, la serveuse est venue me donner un coupon rabais de 50$, ce qui fut apprécié mais c’était trop peu trop tard.
Ce qui m’a le plus choqué, c’est que tous les clients ont mangé sans broncher. Natalino est chanceux d’avoir des clients aussi dociles. Peut-être venaient-ils en toute connaissance de cause? Alors que tout coûte de plus en plus cher, je les trouve effrontés d’opérer pendant ces travaux.
Pour ma part, avant de m’assoir pour passer un moment de qualité avec ma fille, après une semaine chargée, j’aurais aimé qu’on m’avertisse des travaux en cours afin que je choisisse d’y souper, ou non.
Je cherche maintenant quelqu’un à qui donner ce certificat cadeau car je n‘y reviendrai en aucun cas.
