    Went here to check out the new location on the Queensway and I will definitely be coming back. This cute little Italian restaurant has a great atmosphere and wonderful service from whom I think was the owner themselves. We got the 1/2 chicken, octopus and all ortolana calabrese and all were great! Other than that octopus which is light on the stomach but absolutely worth it, the best octopus that I’ve had. The pasta is definitely a must and the chicken was perfectly cooked and massive we had to take it home! Definitely a must try place!

    This is one of the most authentic Italian restaurants you will ever go to in Ontario. The food is absolutely extraordinary and the service is exceptional being all around a 10/10 place to be. My friend and I had pasta and it was amazing. I was also treaded with lots of respects and I would 100% recommend this place.

    Delicious food and a very enjoyable experience. We had calamari, radicchio salad with Gorgonzola and pears, mussels, and pasta - everything was fresh and full of flavor. The food was so good I almost forgot to take pictures! We finished with light, creamy tiramisu. Service was excellent - friendly, attentive, and welcoming. We also took home a jar of hot oil, which had a nice, flavorful kick. We will definitely come again.

    Blue Horse Cucina is a fantastic new find. The location is super convenient right off the highway, and having parking right out front made our visit so easy. Inside, the restaurant is cozy and the Italian music playing in the background really reminded me of being in Italy. The food quality is top-notch. We started with the calamari, and it was so good the whole table ended up ordering a second round! It was a huge hit with the kids as well. The Tagliatelle and Pescatore were delicious, and the salads are incredibly fresh. The skewers and whipped feta was perfect combo and the veal scallops had so much flavour. A huge highlight was their homemade hot sauce—it was so amazing we had to take some home with us. The portions are big and the prices are very reasonable for such great food. We ended with the tiramisu which was very delicious we had to fight for the last bite! A notable mention to Chris, our server. He was so attentive, kind, and easy to talk to. He truly made our experience memorable and took such great care of us. I can’t wait to bring my family and friends back here to try more of the menu. I wish them all the success…you won't be disappointed!
