We’ve grown as Victoria has grown, but at our heart, we have remained true to our roots. Many years of working with local farmers, being a contributing member of our local community, caring for the environment (we are carbon neutral), hosting Italian wine dinners and always making sure that our vision for our food stays true, have brought us to the place we are now.

    Very disappointing. The spaghetti had a vinegary taste to it and the chicken Parmesan was very poor considering this is an Italian restaurant. Our server seemed preoccupied as well. Poor timing on delivering the courses. Glasses of wine a way overpriced.

    Special night - asado. Our friends that we came with and the other dinner guests were so much fun. The hosts were outstanding- really enjoyed hearing from them during the different courses and wine pairings and speaking with them throughout the meal. Zambri’s staff were on point as always. The asado menu and wine pairings were rich, South American flavours that we all really enjoyed.

    I had the steak and polenta. The steak was great, polenta mediocre. It should have come with some kind of vegetable. My company both had pasta and chicken parmesan and said excellent.

    some of the best Italian food I have ever had and the pairing of the wine was exquisite. The downside is that they do not have any noise baffling and it’s a noisy restaurant that is hard to carry on a conversation. Staff was wonderful and service was great.

    We were pleased to be seated in the atrium area. The ambient noise is less there, and that enhanced our dining experience. Delicious pasta and pizza pleased all. We also enjoyed the seasonal fiddlehead starter. Thank you!
