Ripe - Sudbury

First of all I'm not a fan of Italian restaurants. My Granddaughter wanted to go to Ripe. I had never been in a restaurant in my own country where I did not understand the menu. I settled with a BBQ chicken pizza I asked that the pineapple and the jalapeños be left off the pizza, and they were. The pizza was so spicy I could not eat it. Personally I will never go back nor recommend Ripe Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner Price per person: CA$100+ Food: 1 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 2

This restaurant not only hit the nail on the head but exploded its standards and expectations. After a 6 hour trip this restaurant held up to its reputation. The food was incredibly priced for what you got. The effort and flavors were unbelievably unique and mind blowing. For dinner I had to try many options to get the experience as recommended by my server, which we will get to this delightful young lady in a minute. To start i had Brussle sprouts, which i usually am never a fan of, but the way these were cooked..... incredible. The BFF pizza was one that was a shocker in its amazing look but unique blend of flavors that really made your mouth and brain work together to comprehend the blends. The pasta dishes.... now that's where this chef made magic happen. With this hand-made gnocchi and love prep put into this dish was to die for. Both the Muchroom Gnocchi and the Marsala Gnocchi were incredibly amazing. Now, onto Miss Millana (my server/waitress) like her unique name, so was she. This refreshing young lady was a sea of information and the details of the items. She really took the time to dive into the menu as she described what the flavors would bring for you to really decide what best suited your mood. Her recommendations and honest experiences with the flavors were above and beyond what I expected. This young lady was overall incredibly passionate and thoughtful. This restaurant, without a doubt, earned my review because of Millana. It is hard to get great service and food that actually reflects its price.

From greet, seat, service, eat and leave. Great service from beginning to end. Host who welcomed us was right off the bat welcoming to the kids and interactive. Our waitress was fantastic. Asking us if we were new to the restaurant, very informative of all the dishes and recommendations. And she to was absolutely amazing about interacting with our kids. Clean, relaxed and great atmosphere. Food. Truely Best gnocchi I ever had. Good variety of picks on the kids' menu, plates are really well portioned and great for little hands. Kids finished their plates without hassle! We even ordered a pizza to take home for at home movie night. Recommend! Will be returning!
