Annabelle's Kitchen Downtown

Annabelle’s Kitchen was fantastic. The rigatoni was rich and perfectly cooked, and the pizza had an amazing, airy, blistered crust topped with fresh arugula, earthy mushrooms, and creamy cheese. The strawberry shortcake was a standout; light, fresh, and not too sweet. It’s definitely on the pricier side, but the quality and overall experience make it worth it. Would happily go back.

Overall we had a really nice Valentine’s Day dinner here. The food was amazing and we’ll absolutely come back for that alone. Everything we ordered was super flavorful and well done. The only thing was the pizza crust — it was a bit too hard and crunchy for what we expected from a Neapolitan-style pizza. Still good, just not quite the soft, airy texture we were hoping for. Service was good, especially considering how busy Valentine’s Day was. It did feel like they could have used one extra server on such a full night, but the staff were friendly and doing their best. The drinks weren’t our favorite, but to be fair, at an Italian restaurant wine is probably the move. One small hiccup: we paid without checking the bill and later realized we were double charged for a drink we only had one of. We caught it just before leaving and it was corrected, but definitely worth double checking your bill.

The freshly made pasta here is delicious, I ordered the squid ink linguine and didn’t disappoint, cooked al dente to perfection and I was happy, however, the served it with shrimp or very small prawns (I was expecting prawns as advertised) some of my friends said that their food was a bit cold, I think the server took a bit much to pick up the plates from the kitchen maybe? But I would forgive them since it was a -20C outside. Also, I wish they would bring like a basket of bread and butter to the table while we waited, this is very common in Italian restaurants so the diners don’t have to starve while they wait…I would come back to try other things. Good overall

My first time at this location and I loved it. The place is quite inviting, good music, very clean and organized. Not to mention the food - what a delicious experience, from the starter whipped burrata and toast, to the main course, and the drink. Thank you for the great service!

Have the lasagna which was one of the most uninspired lasagnas I've ever had it was completely Bland we had to add a lot of salt and spices to try and get it some flavor. The best thing on the appetizer menu was the meatballs they were outstanding very tasty some of the best we've ever had. I would not recommend the beet salad they were not crunchy and they had very mild flavor there are much better beets to be found than this. The Bolognese pasta was pretty plain and lacking flavor. The restaurant was comfortable and it was a great place to have a conversation over lunch
