Just Cooking Rustic Italian - Vineland

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 say pretentious? . 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 it wasn't! and the atmosphere is comfortable and then BAM seriously delicious food arrives. Pro tip: get the gelato. It's made in house and it's phenomenal.

I'm going to start off my saying my boyfriend and I are homey good food kind of people. Food with edible flowers and moss need not apply. Starting with drinks, the strawberry soda fulfilled all my wildest dreams of a strawberry lemonade type concoction. While for some people this drink may seem very sour, my whole lemon eating self loved it. My boyfriend got a beer, and beer on a hot summer day on a patio is always good. We got the Ontario Asparagus and Calamari Alla Griglia as appetizers. The Ontario Asparagus was a winner for me, my boyfriend said there is too much lemon on it. The Calamari were okay, I'm not sure if the grill was on very high that day but there was a strong charred flavour to them even though they were well prepared and soft. If you like strong flavours of burnt wood and smokiness then the calamari is for you. For the main my boyfriend got the fish of the day. He inquired with the waitress if it was a whole fish, because he just really wanted a whole fish the waitress said yes but he was brought a little fish cut on a bed of undercooked potatoes. This part of the meal for him was not the best and that is the reason for 4 stars. I got the Vitello and it was a huge piece of juicy meat with some asparagus and mashed potatoes. If you are feeling carnivorous then this is the way to go, the meat was done to my liking and it was a giant piece that I could share with my unimpressed partner. We didn't get dessert but opted for an espresso and cappuccino. The capuccinno was cafe au lait, but what do I know, maybe it was their version of a capuccinno. In any case, if you're looking for good portion sizes and home cooking then you'll find Just Cooking fits the bill nicely.

Totally a hidden gem out of no where. Absolutely loved the food and servers are friendly in beautiful environment. Highly recommend

Food was delicious!! Their foccacia was amazing but their biggest downfall is that their patio faces a busy road.
