Cook's Shop

Southwestern Ontario


This cozy, dimly lit restaurant specializes in classic Italian dishes. Pasta with your choice of 10 different sauces is the specialty; dishes are often prepared table-side, open flame and all. Appreciative locals have been coming here for almost 40 years – it could use a refresh to its aging decor. Reservations recommended.
