La Trattoria Italiana - Pender Harbour

What a cute place and the food was fantastic. It’s a farm to table restaurant. The food is incredible. We ordered the wild boar and the special seafood pasta and both were excellent! It was the best food we’ve had so far. The staff were super friendly as well! I’d highly recommend this place.

This restaurant exceeded all expectations. I highly recommend trying the appetizer with wild boar prosciutto if it's available. The seafood in my pasta was incredibly fresh and the wild boar tenderloin in my partner's dish was perfectly charred and smoky. The accompaniments, including the creamy wild mushrooms, were all superb. The house red wine was of great quality and the panna cotta dessert and deconstructed cheesecake were a light and satisfying end to the meal. Despite having a full three-course meal with additional sides and wine, we didn't feel overly full or sick. The atmosphere and service were also fantastic. Definitely worth every penny.

This quaint restaurant is located on a secluded road, surrounded by nature. Situated next to a bird sanctuary with a charming walking bridge and overlooking a lake, it exudes rustic charm. The menu offers delicious classic Italian dishes that are well-prepared. The service is efficient and the food is flavorful. While some items may be pricey, generous portion sizes make up for it. Whether you're looking for a fancy date night or a more casual meal, this hidden gem is definitely worth a visit if you're in the area.

"The Italian food at this restaurant is absolutely delicious and authentic. The outdoor seating area is beautiful, and the interior is comfortable. The service is good, and the location is beautiful. The food is locally sourced, with a focus on game meat, but there are also vegetarian options available. The drink menu is extensive."

We had lunch so the menu might differ at dinner. Although the pasta was good, the Buffalo Burger was excellent. They also had a nice selection of Italian wines. There aren't many decent restaurants in the area so this is a nice treat, reasonable prices, good food and the service was excellent.
