Alexandra's Restaurant

A great Italian place to go in Mississauga is Alexandra's Restaurant (sorry, no link that I could find). They have some of the best Italian food in the city that I've come to experience. I highly recommend the Daddy's Calzone for your main course and the Creme Brulee for desert. The service is great, the food is outstanding and the layout of the restaurant is much nicer than you'd expect based on it's location. Alexandria's is a great break from your big-box "Italian" restaurants like East Side Mario's (not that there's anything terribly wrong with that place - but that's for another day). Everything is fresh, and looks and tastes like a lot of effort was put into it.

Alexandra's is on Eglinton Avenue about 2 km west of Renforth - right on the edge of Mississauga and Etobicoke. It's in a small almost strip-mall type of plaza behind the Tim Horton's so pay attention or you may drive by and regret it.
