Il Tartufo - Mississauga, Ontario

We had our daughter’s Holy Communion reception at the restaurant on Sunday April 28th 2024. I love that we had the entire restaurant to ourselves as they only open for private functions on the weekends. The owners (Kim and her Husband whose name I neglected to get) were so accommodating. They ... were kind and courteous from the start. Our servers were friendly and very attentive. Our water glasses and wine glasses were filled continuously. We also had access to a full bar. The food was spot on. I have zero complaints and our guests were just a thrilled. I won’t lie, the bill was about $500 higher than we anticipated. It’s an expensive place however we had a wonderful function and we’re happy all around. Read more

As an individual (Black Woman) deeply rooted in the diverse cultural Greater Toronto Area, my recent visit to Il Tartufo on December 5, 2023, left me disheartened for several reasons that highlight the imperative for inclusivity and respect within the hospitality industry. Upon my arrival, I was ushered to my table ... by the mature (Caucasian with long white beard) male owner, whose interaction with me lacked the expected warmth and hospitality. Despite being the first to arrive, my presence seemed to warrant only minimal acknowledgment. This initial impression was reinforced when, moments later, my male colleague (Caucasian) was warmly greeted, offered assistance with his coat, while I was left to manage my own without the courtesy extended to others. Following arrival of my female colleague (Caucasian) further highlighted this disparity in treatment, as she, too, received the gracious reception that had been noticeably absent in my experience. An unfortunate continuation of this trend was evident during our meal service. The owner selective engagement solely with my colleagues regarding their preferences for additional condiments without extending the same courtesy to me was particularly disappointing. Ironically, as a professional immersed in the realm of Human Resources, specializing in fostering inclusive environments, it was evident that the owner lacked an understanding of Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion (DEI) principles. This oversight in acknowledging and embracing diversity within the establishment clientele is not only off-putting but also reflects a critical need for cultural sensitivity and training. Regrettably, based on this encounter, I find it challenging to commend Il Tartufo to others. My rating of 0.5 out of 5 reflects the significant shortfall in providing a welcoming and equitable dining experience. I sincerely hope that this feedback prompts the necessary introspection and proactive measures toward cultivating an inclusive atmosphere that celebrates diversity, so ensuring a more welcoming environment for all customers.

Me and a coworker went out to eat here as we were thinking of getting italian food and it was near my hotel. It was a little off putting that we were the only ones sitting in the restaurant but maybe it was just a fluke. The food was very good! Had ... the Fusilli di Pollo and really enjoyed it. Also had the bruschietta with cheese which was okay but not amazing. The wait staff was very attentive and came to our table often refilling our glasses and checking on how we liked the food. What we weren't aware of is that they charge you for water and presumably they charge by the bottle. Both me and my coworker paid 7.50$ each on both our bills when we had no clue it was being charged for. Next time it should at least be mentioned before dining that water isn't complementary. Plus the service staff kept filling our cups often because they made us use two bottles instead of one. Probably not going back only so I don't have to pay for water. Read more

One of worse places I have ever eaten, the price is high and the portions are extremely small, I cannot talk to much of the other products but the chicken soup was tasteless, the service from the hostess was really bad with a rude behaviour. They have a small restaurant ... at the back, not that fancy and when we got inside the lady did not want to sell us anything because of the commenters we provided previously. Really bad experience.
