Taso's Restaurant and Pizzeria

Nestled in the heart of Peterborough, Taso's Restaurant and Pizzeria offers an inviting Mediterranean-inspired dining experience that masterfully blends authentic Greek flavors with comforting Italian classics. This charming establishment, located at 18 Lindsay Rd, captivates guests with its cozy, petite setting—perfect for casual get-togethers and lively evenings, though a bit on the bustling side for those seeking a quiet, romantic dinner.

The menu at Taso’s is a vibrant celebration of fresh, bold ingredients and generous portions. Highlights include the zesty and crisp Caesar Salad, tender and flavor-packed Chicken Souvlaki Dinner, and the ever-popular Chicken Parmigiana with Fettuccine Alfredo, which balances creamy richness with perfectly cooked poultry. Pizza enthusiasts rave about their wood-burning oven creations, especially the Chicken Bruschetta Pizza and Lucy’s Flatbread, both boasting a remarkably crispy yet tender crust that carries abundant, fresh toppings without slipping into sogginess. Greek favorites like the Spicy Feta Dip & Pita and the hearty Meat Platter invite diners to indulge in a tapestry of textures and tastes that evoke sunny Mediterranean shores.

The culinary journey continues with standout dishes like the Grilled Calamari and the unique Gluten Free Pistachio dessert, reflecting Taso’s thoughtful approach to catering to diverse tastes and dietary needs. For those who enjoy pairing their meal with a drink, the restaurant offers a well-curated selection of spirits that includes smooth Grey Goose Vodka, warming Bulleit Bourbon, and the distinctly aromatic Ouzo, alongside refreshing options like their signature Corona and Pink Lemonade or vibrant Sangria.

Beyond the food, the atmosphere is animated and friendly—a place where prompt, courteous service meets a convivial environment. Customers like Michael Alex appreciate the attentive staff, even though the intimate layout—featuring only about 6 to 7 tables and a compact bar area—can make the space feel lively and somewhat noisy. This buzz is part of the charm for many guests, infusing each visit with an energetic vibe that complements the generous, flavorful dishes.

Patrons repeatedly praise the restaurant's ability to accommodate larger groups seamlessly, as Jam Cheung experienced with their party of eleven, where not a detail was overlooked. Meanwhile, the quality and quantity of the food consistently earn high marks, with Marilynn Kaye recalling a delightful evening filled with shared appetizers like saganaki and tzaziki, followed by satisfying entrees such as souvlaki, pizza, and lasagna—all leaving enough on the plate for indulgent leftovers.

Whether indulging in the hearty Feature Burger or savoring the traditional tastes of the Spaghetti Bolognese and lasagna special offer, regulars and newcomers alike find themselves returning to Taso’s for its genuine flavors, welcoming vibe, and that unbeatable combination of Mediterranean sunshine and Italian comfort on a plate.

For a taste of Peterborough’s flourishing local food scene, Taso's Restaurant and Pizzeria delivers a memorable and authentically satisfying experience—where friends become family around plates heaped with passion and tradition.
