    Incredible experience at Da Maurizio. From the staff to the ambiance and the food - it was all very good. Get the arancini!! The warm radicchio salad was divine!

    Outstanding dining experience. Staff are attentive, more than accommodating, and the food was topnotch. Was dining with a friend who had a couple of special requests because of dietary needs, requests were met immediately and with good cheer. Second time there, and I certainly will be back and I recommend this for beautiful Italian food.

    This is absolutely the best place to dine in Halifax. Elegant surroundings, excellent, exquisite food and experience. Tanya was very welcoming and has a magnificent and knowledgeable staff. We enjoyed our server Hannah as she made us feel like family. Tanya stirred up the best Martini and Cosmo we've ever had. I can vouch for the award winning menu and wine list. Fine dining at it's best.

    Friends of ours told us of their experiences at the restaurant so we went to see for ourselves and it did not disappoint. The food was excellent and the servers were all lovely and attentive. Definitely recommend this for any special occasion with its elevated atmosphere or just to have a fabulous meal for no special reason at all. Thank you!!

    Wonderful evening at Da Maurizio. Greeted and seated by the owner, Tanya, she is always so welcoming. Fantastic new menu. Waited on by Kelly. He is the best. Drinks and wine selection were great! The food was delicious. My husband and I started with the Caesar salad and he had the Fruiti de Mare, seafood with pasta and I had the Quattro Fromagi Gnocchi. Chocolate cake and a cake with sauce topped off a great evening. Can't wait to go back!

    The food was good but expensive for what you are getting. It took a long time to get our mains and the waitress kept forgetting to bring water. I guess it was ok but when you are paying $35+ for a pasta dish you expect more.
