| - My rating is 4.5 stars. This is my go to place to consistent quality delicious Italian food in Richmond Hill. The recommendation came surprisingly from a odd source (a cemetery director), but I'm so glad we found this place.
This place is seriously busy on weekends, to the point where we have waited up to 40 minutes to be seated. The food is definitely worth the wait!
On our first dining experience at Abruzzo, we ordered the Special pizza (bacon, green peppers, onions, mushrooms, pepperoni, cheese and tomato sauce), the Vince pasta (named after one of the owners, this pasta is one of my favourites), veal parmigiana (so tender!), a panzerotto (MASSIVE!) and a house salad. The service was on point, and it was a particularly nice touch that Vince himself came around to speak with the restaurant patrons. After chatting with my husband's family and myself, he even offered us complimentary cappuccinos. This first very positive experience, fantastic service, Vince's warm welcoming personality, and the delicious food is what keeps us coming back for more.
Several months later, our family makes a point of dining every several weeks at Abruzzo. We have since tried their lasagna, which was delicious the first time we tried it but a bit off on one occasion when green peas (?!?) were to be found in the sauce. The chicken wings (we favour the honey garlic flavour) are super crispy and addictive. The calamari was also nicely seasoned and tender. The Special pizza is still one of our go-to menu items. However the last time we dined in, a fellow patron mentioned that her go-to pizza contains roasted eggplant and anchovies, so we are looking forward to trying this combination on our next visit.
Don't let the non-descript sign and strip plaza location fool you. This is definitely one of the GTA's best places for pizza, pasta, and wings!
