What User likes about La Cantina Ristorante:
A bottle of Chianti, a couple of wood-fire oven za's with creative toppings, terrific service (thanks, Karen)! and a restaurant with pleasant low, ambient lighting - delicious and good fun, all for $70. View all feedback. What User doesn't like about La Cantina Ristorante:
We had a party of 12 make a reservation weeks ago. we arrived last night for 7 PM and we didn't get to leave the restaurant until 9:30. The service was ridiculously slow and we were treated like a major inconvenience. The waitress did apologize for the wait and did say they had plenty of tables come in with no reservations so we were put on the back burner apparently. The food came out at about 9, which was very good... View all feedback.

Loves this place for Italian eating. the personal is super. if you like to eat, you get great portions. I have to go home more and more than half my dinner.

La Cantina is a long-standing Italian restaurant in Hamilton. While some reviewers praised the friendly service and delicious food, others were disappointed by the slow service and lackluster quality of dishes. The menu has changed over the years, with some feeling that the wow factor is missing. Despite the high prices, portion sizes were satisfying. Notably, the restaurant accommodates dietary restrictions such as celiac disease. Overall, La Cantina offers a cozy atmosphere for celebrations or casual dining, with some customers returning for the consistent quality of food and service.

The food was fantastic as usual. I especially enjoyed the pizza and the 80s pricing deal on Tuesdays.
