Great track record

We come through Barrie fairly often, and have enjoyed the meals here many times. The helpings are generous of typical Italian comfort food. I'd single out the panzarotti and cannelloni.

Give it a miss

It's an italian restaurant but they managed to over cook the pasta! My husband rated his dish 2 out of 10 and he's not difficult to please when it comes to food.
The decor inside is very tired and the place feels grubby.
Service is friendly but not amazing because there is only one person and they seem to do... more

Best Pizza in Barria

I'm not a fan of chain pizzerias. They all are the same, they virtually weigh out every ingredient, and its impossible to get an old fashioned "loaded" pizza. Well Pizzeria Italia is an old fashioned family owned pizzeria. There pizza is loaded with whatever toppings you ask for, as well as ample cheese to cover everything. The pizzas are a... more

Love it

Great panzo's love the Caesar salad downfall simulated bacon bits ?? Why? It's still a good salad ......great dressing!!!!! Service is usually great we usually have the same nice lady so friendly.... This time we had a younger girl and she was slow we were there early and only 1 other table and we waited forever to get a drink........ more

Best sandwiches

Had the veal parmesan and meatball sandwich takeout. Had a lasagna and penne carbonara with the wife in the dining room. Caesar salad was good we shared. All fantastic. Love that fresh bread and sauce. Will always be back.

best food and service

best pizza and pasta in barrie.. I love it there...old place and nothing to fancy but great food. great friendly service and I always take home food because of there is so much.

Old School

This Barrie restaurant was our regular "after closing" spot 40 years ago when we lived over the old hardware store on nearby Dunlop Street. Since then, Barrie has doubled in size, and lost some of the old small town "soul" that we enjoyed at the time. That said, the Pizzaria Italia, has remained remarkably unchanged. The decor appears exactly the... more

Food is Delicious

My husband and I went to this restaurant 35 years ago when we were dating, and thought we would give it a try for old time sake :) Glad we did, the food was very good. We started with bruscetta (very good) and a garden salad.The veal parmagiana was nice and thin, the sauce had a nice tang the only... more

A great place to eat

Great food. I love their pizza and their service (sarella) with his big smile. You never leave this place hungry. I will definitely go back to try their other stuff! Thank you

Great Pizza

One of the oldest Italian eateries in Barrie. Really great pizza that is the real thing, not the fast-food type of pizza.

Best Pizza EVER

I frequent this Pizzera and tell everyone I know about it. Amazing pizza and Panzerotti! Baked Panzerotti to dine in or take away is the best thing in the world. They make them fresh and to order so you can pick what you want inside (add or remove from standard menu).
You will never want to eat fast food pizza... more

Anyone for delicious pizza

We used tripadvisor to discover this authentic family-owned Italian pizzeria in downtown Barrie and we have to agree "it's delicious". We called ahead to ensure that they had room for us - Five adults and a two year old. Once seated we were quickly served their fresh Italian bread. We ordered two large caesar salads (and must agree the dressing... more

great downtown italian

good place for pizza, calzone, caesar salad. fresh home baked italian white loaf included. lots of good sandwiches as well. convenient to downtown core.

Never go wrong

This is a Barrie institution. I don't go a lot but I love it every time I go. The food is fantastic, you have to try it at least once.

One of my all time faves in barrie

Frankie has the best sauce in Central Ontario and the home made bread just rocks.
Great pizza, pasta and salads and you really feel at home in the restaurant.
Not fancy but AWESOME FOOD

We are regulars

I thought I would finally write a review when I realized that this was one of my favorite spots in Barrie to dine!! The owner (Angie) is so friendly and knows what we want as soon as we walk in the door. The food is top notch. If you love pastas and pizzas........they are truly the best in town. They... more

I wanted pizza on my birthday so I decided to go with Pizzeria Italia after hearing so many glowing reviews -- "The best pizza in Barrie!" "Everything on the menu is fantastic!" "Surprisingly delicious!" etc. I would be crazy not to, right?

I ordered two large pizzas (for pickup) for four people, thinking the size would be comparable to your average "large pizza" from your average pizza chain,... more

Great Food

Cozy Atmosphere very quaint and authentic.
Small and Intimate and great service
Love the Food

Mamma Mia

Not great, not bad...just hearty Italian food a little less good than Nino's but still pretty good.

You won't be sorry - good food and prices

We have been going her for years, and very little has changed. Which is a positive. From the outside you question whether to go in, but inside is open and bright. It is run by a brother/sister duo who took over from their parents. We have been there for lunch, both business and pleasure; dinner; parties where they prepare different... more

Great local restaurant

We grew up in Barrie and started going to this family owned restaurant back in the 60's. It was good then and it's still good.We have moved out of town and decided to try it once again. The bread is home made and you get big slabs served with butter. The sauces all home made. You have your choice of... more

Yummy, real Italian food for the meat lover

We visited the Pizzeria Italia in downtown Barrie after reading great reviews about the place. The outside is nothing fancy, and the inside is certainly unpretentious, but the food was great value for money! Main meals include salad and Italian bread – note that there was not a vegetable in sight with the main course. We had the veal al... more

Excellent Value

This is an Italian restaurant that looks like a take out/delivery place from the outside. Passed by it for years and finally was told that it was a sit down restaurant.
We have been going now for about 5 years.
The decor is nothing to write home about but the food is fantastic. From the homemade Italian bread put on... more

Best Pizza in Barrie

What a great little hidden gem. Pizzeria Italia has been our "go-to" restaurant for about 20 years. It is time to share the love. No trendy decor or fake Italianisms here. Just let the great food and friendly staff do the talking. The pizzas are so delicious and clearly made with love. Piled high with fresh toppings on a light... more

I highly recommend Mom?s Restaurant in Barrie. Both the food and staff are great. Whenever I?m looking for a restaurant in Barrie, I always choose Mom?s!

This is a great restaurant. The food and wine are fabulous. The service is excellent. The price is right. Parking is not ideal, but there was sufficient space when I last visited

best pizza in Barrie

this place has the absolute best pizza in town..hands down!!! trust me once you've had it you will never order from another pizza place again... more

Had a fantastic meal there tonight - scallops were huge and cooked to perfection. Beer was extra cold too!

this business is great because the staff care about each customers as a person NOT a tip

Fine selection of seafood; nice atmosphere and great service.

Its a really nice, business-style restaurant during the day and warm and romantic in the evenings.

spaghetti

I love their spaghetti. I order it out mostly, comes with garlic bread and not a long wait time!

LOVE the fresh bread! Amazing pizza! Where else can a family of 3 have dinner for under $60 (including wine) and

I've dined here since I was a child. What can I say - the business has been around for 30+ years and the food is still good!

Have been there more than 10 times now, above are some of the things I have tried. The service is always great, the portions are always really big, and the food is always great. I have never had a bad experience with anything I've ordered, and find the different sauces very delicious. Bacon carbonara is exceptional I don't know why somebody would say that it is store bought, it is pretty simple... more
