Ziraldo's Italian - Fenelon Falls

The CKLPSB would like to sincerely thank Lynne for a wonderful evening. Thanks

We love this place. The service was awesome, and the food was delicious. Great wine selection, and the after 8 creme brulee was out of this world.Highly recommend.

We booked based on Google reviews.we were traveling through Fenlon on the boat. On first 9impression it was a quaint older home with what appeared to be great atmosphere. The initial drink order took 20 minutes which, being a long weekend was ok. We ordered apps. Grilled calamari, mussels and warm olives. The olives were delicious. The one small piece of calamari was not grilled and raw in the middle. Out of the 20 or so mussels at least 5 mussels were closed and left in bowl and was a watery flavorless sauce. No bread was served until requested, another 10 minutes. Main courses. 1 steak and lobster was good. Two lobster ravioli specials were so under cooked they were barely edible. Third dish which is one of my favorites. Orchecitte with sausage and rapini was cooked nicely al dente lots of flavor but the sausage was not good or grilled enough. Basically ate the pasta and Rapini only. Then waited 45 minutes for second drink. After alerting staff to deficiencies we were given our $500 bill with no deductions. That we paid in full! All in all certainly was painful . Too bad ?In response to the management. She was crying because she was overwhelmed. Dishes were piled on our table and not cleared. We told her it was not her fault she didn't cook the food! The only thing rude here is management's response to deflect responsibility!

Read pretty good reviews so decided we'd take a drive and try it. Not all was bad but my main course certainly was. Was sick about 2 hours later. More disappointing, I called the restaurant when they opened the next day, explained left a message for manager or owner to call me as I thought this was an urgent issue. 3 hours later, no call. For a highly rated restaurant, that is poor service in my books. Couple next to us had to send back the mussels because of how bad they smelled. Chef is obviously trying to use up old product.

We had such a wonderful lunch today.The staff were fantastic and so friendly. Our meal was perfect. Absolutely great price for the quality and service.
