Wine Vini Spumanti Vini Rossi in Bottiglia Wines by the Glass White Red Vini Bianchi in Bottiglia
Yes, Da Maurizio is certainly among the top 3 restaurants in Halifax. The atmosphere is classically influenced, yet crisp & elegant.
The wine selection has plenty to offer even the most dedicated oenophile.
The food is nothing less than perfect. There is simply no better place in Halifax for northern Italian cuisine with a continental flair.
This is quite simply the best restaurant in Halifax. The staff are extremely courteous and friendly, and the food is excellent. Treat yourself to Da Maurizio's on a special occasion, and you won't regret it. The prices were reasonable for the food quality and service, considering I've paid more for a worse meal in Halifax. A+
