Review Summary

Wienstein & Gavino's is a popular downtown destination that draws many visitors for its lively atmosphere, generous portions of Italian cuisine, and varied menu featuring fresh pasta, pizza, and seafood. While many guests praise the exceptional service, high-quality dishes like the risotto and ravioli, and the cozy, rustic decor across multiple levels, experiences can be inconsistent. Some patrons have reported frustrations regarding noise levels, occasional issues with front-of-house reservation management, and mixed feedback on specific menu items like pizza crust or sauce seasoning. Nevertheless, the restaurant remains a favorite for group celebrations and family dinners, with many recurring visitors consistently highlighting the friendly and attentive staff who go out of their way to ensure a memorable visit.

Mon fils de 16 ans était assis sur une chaise au bout de la table, une dame assise à une chaise derrière lui avait reculé sa chaise pour s'étendre les jambes, elle ne laissait aucun espace pour mon fils qui était écrasé contre notre table. Personne n'est intervenu & mon fils a dû changer de place. Le respect pour les jeunes ne semblait pas très important ce soir là.
Malgré tout notre serveur était tout de même très sympathique, s'excusait pour la situation que mon fils avait vécu.

Je n'y retournerai pas.

Great ambiance! Knowledgeable wait staff. Friendly Host/Hostess. Salmon was perfection. Appetizers were tasty. My vongole was bland. I won't be ordering this menu item again. The linguine was cooked to perfection. I'll give the chef credit for that, but the vongole sauce, meh! The drinks were excellent, especially the Red Sangria. We ordered a Pitcher.

We were really disappointed by how the front-of-house staff handled our reservation. We had a table booked for 6 at 7:30 p.m. & arrived at 7:41 p.m., only to be told our table had already been given away. We were asked to wait with no estimate of how long it would be, & both hosts were rude & condescending when we questioned it.

Afterward, I checked our confirmation email & it clearly stated there is a 20-minute grace period, which the restaurant did not honour. We were eventually seated, & our server was pleasant, but the poor experience at the front overshadowed the meal.

The restaurant is also very loud, making conversation difficult. We will not be returning.
