Bad service bad food.. Bad atmosphere... I found it over priced for the value. Most Italian restaurants will offer pepper or even parmesan cheese for their pasta... If thats what it was... It was spaghettini not spaghetti.. Poor serving.. Ok taste but lousy presentation.. I would NOT recommend this restaurant and cant understand how they got a 4.5 star rating

I love this place! The grocery store has an awesome selection of specialty Italian foods, which is hard to find in Eastern Ontario. Also this place has the best bread I have ever eaten! Baked goods are superb. Its the real deal, authentic imported goods!!! I can't wait to try the restaurant.

Food was delicious with very fresh ingredients and generous portions but was a bit slow considering we were the only table at the time. Two of the plates were not hot. Service was friendly and attentive, but the patio lacks ambiance. I love the market here and hope they work out the kinks as they ramp up for summer.

Visited once previously and the breakfast was awesome. Visited again for lunch and was disappointed(although the wait staff was really good). The Caesar salad dressing was bland and the lettuce seemed old, the sandwich(veal) was just okay. Then visited the bakery right outside to try a few different desserts. The tiramisu was super disappointing and dry. The fudge brownie was just okay. The quality is disappointing.

First time visiting last night.

First time visiting last night.

Service was excellent, we were seated right away. Our waitress was very knowledgeable and kind.

Portion sizes are very good. We ordered one of their Pizzas and a Burger. The Pizza could have served 2 people. It was well cooked and had lots of flavors.

The burger was perfectly cooked, full of flavors and the bun was super fresh.

The cafe attached has amazing desert / snack options. Highly recommend the over-sized chocolate chip cookie.

One fine food is a boutique grocery store that also has a restaurant as well. I was really unsure how the food would be but it was so good. Walking into the space it seems like a stand alone restaurant. It has a beautiful pizza oven that you notice right away. I started with a cherry whiskey cocktail, it was great. We had two pizzas, a cheesy one and a mushroom one. I was blown away how good the crust was. I would definitely go back.

Love how they carry unusual produce and the chocolate is yummy. Soups are very tasty and prices a little high is some places but I appreciate the variety of choice. Love this place...would like to see more vegan options if possible.

The pizza crust is fabulous. Its something I've routinely tried and have been unable to duplicate. It has me coming here weekly. I think of it often. Sometimes... it's absolutely perfect, with just the right amount of charring, other times it could have used a bit more time in the oven, yet... even at its worst, you would need to get on a plane to find better crust. Other pizza has been ruined. I've spent a lot of time reading pizza blogs, trying to perfect my own crust. It's become futile.

There are 2 reasons I eat out. Because I'm dont want to cook (being lazy), or because I want to eat something better than what I can make. Im rather difficult to satisfy. One Fine Foods pizza... makes me feel blissfully inadequate

I will never go to this restaurant again. Ordered our meal and when it came, it was not what we ordered. The waitress was argumentative, insisted that was what we ordered and provided the worst customer service I have ever encountered . As a small business owner myself, i was taken back by the attitude we received. She eventually brought my lunch guest her original.order but failed to bring mine. I mentioned this to another waitress and when our original waitress returned, after some time, she brought us another lunch plate we had originally ordered. And.of course, her attitude. When we received our bill, you know, she charged us for both meals. $100.00 for lunch. CRAZY. When I tried to talk to her about the bill, she became argumentative and I truly thought she was going to start yelling at us. Nope, will not go back to this place again. If you are contemplating going to One Fine Foods take my advise, , DON'T. Worst customer service ever.

Since posting this review, the owner responded offering us a free lunch. I went to the site he indicated and to date, I have yet to get a response or receive a free lunch. Again, very disappointed.

This was our first visit to the restaurant. We ordered a variety from appetizer and pizza to salad and pasta. The first bread served was cold but once we asked the waitress was more than accommodating to bring warm bread. All the food and alcoholic beverages were superbly done. The place is nice and clean and inviting. The service is very good. If you ask for paper napkins, they are not too generous. They are the small cocktail size. For their mimosa they used real prosecco so quite nice. All and all a very pleasant experience and we will be back.

Had a reservation and arrived to find three parties waiting to be seated. After all of us standing there for 15 minutes without any acknowledgement (and numerous open tables) the parties in front of us gave up and left. We held on. Finally a waitress arrived and said they were very short staffed and we could stay if we wanted but it would take a while. Uncool One Fine Foods! We had company with us and it was completely embarrassing to be caught out with no where to eat when we had booked days ahead. Completely inexcusable that every staff member walked by all of the people waiting and ignored us all. You lost 8 patrons tonight.

Very friendly and helpful staff! Pizza and apps were delish! Definitely my go-to for my pizza needs, or if I want to feel fancy (that bread and balsamic + oil) with a nice glass of wine.
Hands down BEST pizza you will find in this town! Many thanks for making pizza classy again!

First time for me and probably the last. Went with a group and ordered the spaghetti and meatballs and a salad. Salad was very good but the spaghetti was long past its serve by time. It was pasty and the meatballs were cold. I ate about three bites and that was it. Should have sent it back but did not want to delay the group I was with. Waitress did not appear concerned that I had not eaten my entree nor did I wish to have it boxed to go home.

We had the bucatini seafood pasta and the dalla terra fire wood pizza, and they were both really good! We started off with the risotto balls and some bread. The service was good and they have a nice patio out in the parking lot. The mussels in the pasta wasn t fresh at all which was a bit disappointing.

One of my favorite places in Peterborough. From incredible authentic Italian dining, to the wonderful espresso bar, to the bakery and import grocery section attached.... This place really has it all if you're Italian, or a fan of the food/culture/ingredients for cooking. I visit frequently. Incredibly reasonable prices in the restaurant, for the food/portion you receive.

Went here while we were out for our son s Birthday. Didn t have reservations but the hostess was able to find us a spot. The waitress was super nice, the food was great especially the Aglio. Thank you for providing such a wonderful positive and delicious experience. Our first time here but definitely not the last.

Although not a huge store the selection is incredibly. Attached to the store is a bakery and restaurant. If you have the time I would highly suggest eating at the restaurant the food is delicious. The bakery has an excellent selection with some of the best bagels I have had in some time.

Outstanding full service place in Peterborough. Restaurant is fantastic food and service is incredible, wood fired pizza oven produces very authentic Italian pizza, then there's the market, espresso/gelato bar and bakery! This is a must stop if you are passing through or live in Peterborough!

Amazing and unique experience dining there. Food is so interesting and delicious, and a lot is made on premise so it has a natural and good vibes feel to their atmosphere and food! Great also for vegetarians, as there's lots of options for that diet.

Great shopping experience for all things exclusive to kitchen and delicatessen. Restaurant has great pasta and brick pizza oven, hand carved steaks and many unique menu items, presented with pride by friendly staff. Worth a visit. Separate bakery and coffee shop. One Fine Food is just a fun place to stop.
