- SStevenOttawa •2 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoI have eaten here about 4 or 5 times. The food and service are always consistent, amazing food, and fantastic service! Dreamland Cafe is now my favorite restaurant!! I had the beet salad and Pesto pasta with chicken, oh wow, absolutely delicious. My only concern was that I was too full to have dessert :) The chef is a wonderful person, an amazing chef, and a kind person. The staff are courteous, kind, and friendly. You need to try this restaurant, but you need to make a reservation because the secret is out there, that this restaurant is so very, very good!More infoDreamLand CafePrice: Expensive• Italian• Little Italy•4.8

- KkellyToronto / Ontario •45 reviews5.0Dined 7 days agoFood is great - always creative and delicious. Concern today as my dining guest mentioned a sensitivity to spinach. She realized her green salad was full of fresh spinach. She picked it out but it could have made her quite sick. Either server did not pass this along or kitchen forgot. Allergies are important to take note of - especially when server asks and gets a reply.More infoCantina GiaPrice: Expensive• Italian• The Glebe•4.6
