Reviews for Just Cooking Rustic Italian in Vineland, ON

Cutest little Italian spot that has the most delicious food! We ordered the pappardelle bolognese and shared the white wine... mussels to start. The mussels were so delicious and the sauce was amazing. The bread was so fluffy and we dipped it in the saucewhich was to die for. The pasta was so flavourful and delicious as well and the portion sizes are generous! Safe to say we hadenough pasta leftover for another meal when we got home! Read more

Amazing food. The dine in experience is a little loud. But the service is just as amazing as the food. Cute, cozy little place.... Real homemade pasta...need I say more! Read more

We went with a larger party for a birthday dinner. My rating reflects the opinions of some of the other diners in our party as... well. The restaurant was busy for a Sunday night, and the service was great. Attentive and courteous wait staff. We hadcalamari fritti for an appetizer which was very good, served with lemon mayo and salsa verde. The lemon mayo was unexpectedlyvery good with the calamari, and something I've never had. The calamari itself was good, not greasy or chewy, with a lightcrisp batter. My main dish, Penne Salsiccia (penne pasta with red wine tomato sauce, sausage, caramelized onions, and bacon) Ithought was spectacular. Just the right amount of spice, the sauce and the sausage were delicious. The pasta was cookedperfectly. Portion size was just right for me. Other diners felt it was a little salty. I have posted pictures of that dishand the arctic char, which I was told was very good. The specials were quite diverse and sounded amazing. I saw the pork chopdish come out of the kitchen and it looked impressive. It is obvious the chef cares about presentation, and it was done verywell. There is a small selection of bottled and local canned beer, and a nice wine list by the bottle or glass, however pricesI felt were a little high for wine by the glass. I expect to pay more for wine at a higher end restaurant, I just thought it wason the high side. Perhaps a house wine by the half or full litre would be a welcome addition to the menu. There is also asmall selection of nice cocktails like a negroni, chocolate martini, lemoncello wine spritzer. The restaurant itself has acozy decor with a comfortable ambiance, also a great patio out front. There is a big window that looks into the kitchen fromoutside where you can see the chefs at work, which I thought was a great feature. The bathrooms are very nice, super clean andwell appointed with a selection of hair products as well, which I've never seen before! We had some young k Read more

Amazing Octopus appy and delicious pastas. Read the Chef's story on his site, similar to mine - knew he was passionate about... the food. Nothing disappointed! Local wines - red and white! Wanted to say hi to the Chef but saw he was busy cooking! Nexttime! Read more

One of the best Italian restaurants I have ever experienced. Spaghetti, white wine and tiramisu plus double espresso was a... package i felt in love with. Oh, the staff were super friendly and helpful. Read more

Amazing authentic italian restaurant!! A group of friends and I managed to score last minute reservations for the outdoor patio... (such a nice set up). I ordered the marinated olives and one of the specials for the night, the veal ravioli. The food wasabsolutely delicious and everything tasted so fresh and flavorful. I unfortunately was so stuffed I couldn't order dessert but Idefinitely will the next time. On top of the food aspect, the restaurant and it's staff for the quality service. Everyone wasso nice and welcoming. In addition to that, I'd also like to thank the restaurant for being so considerate and stocking theirbathrooms with more than just the typical items. The womens washrooms had feminine hygiene products on a take-what-you needbasis and some very yummy perfume and hand oils as a nice refresher. Read more

We have friends who live in Lincoln and basically live at or off delivery from here so after all their pics we finally decided... to go and SO GLAD WE DID! You know when you almost don’t want to write a review bc your local spot may blow up? This is that???? The food was Sooooo soooo good. Just fresh and flavourful and seasonal and not fancy for no reason (I think I want to saypretentious?). It’s rustic but not sloppy or low end. Definitely on par with any winery or fancy inn restaurants in the area!The service was friendly and accommodating (hubby is allergic to tomatoes which usually makes Italian food an issue— And itwasn’t!) and the atmosphere is comfortable and then BAM seriously delicious food arrives. Pro tip: get the gelato. It’s madein house and it’s phenomenal. Read more
