Amazing amazing! My partner and I have been here 3 nights waiting for them to re-open after Christmas to try their Italian food. Finally, on our third night, we got to try. How delicious! Our two previous nights dinners were $130, this was the best dinner by far and was half the price! Owner is very nice and humble, beautiful display of specialty items that we bought as souvenirs to take back to Toronto. Our waitress was also lovely and very attentive. Nothing but good words to say. Kudos to the owner!
Have loved it since forever. The only place to get actual ravioli. Love the staff, love the food. And always take our friends there.
What a gem this place is!!! The food was incredible and the service was amazing!! Thanks Manny and the rest of his staff for making our weekend away that much better!! If you visit Huntsville this place is a MUST!!
Exceptional!!!! You can't beat the quality for the price. As a matter of fact forget about the price, you CAN'T beat the quality ... period!!! We drive an hour and a half to go eat there and it's worth it.
Welcoming environment and family feel. Food is always awesome. Especially like the mussels and chicken caesar wrap. Yet, to try the pasta which I hear is wonderful. Oh ya, the chocolate squares are to die for.
Excellent food and the WARMEST family atmosphere.
Honestly; one of the best dining experiences in a while!
Can’t wait to go back.
Love it, food was incredible. Love the whole idea of this restaurant, this is a city idea made perfect in a small town

Our meals for all 6 of us, were delicious and fresh. The meatball sandwich was my favourite. The pizza was the favourite of the kids meals. The tiramisu was the best I've ever had. And I've tried a few �
Amazing food and atmosphere!!! If you come to Huntsville, you have to eat here!!!
Authentic italian food, the pizza and pasta were amazing. 100% recommended
Love the handmade pasta! The food was delicious and fresh. Our server was attentive and friendly. We drove from Wasaga Beach to go and eat here and it was worth it. Parking was a little tricky so prepare for that at peak times.
Absolutely amazing!!! Husband had Annie's Famous Lasagna and I had Quattro Formaggi Pizza ..with tomato sauce, mozzarella, blue cheese, provolone & parmesan.
Delicious! We shared of course...and it was so good! This is my favorite place in Huntsville to dine. We will be sure to visit next time we are in the area!
Yum!!

I get to this place at least once a year. I crave the appetizer and i drag anyone who is up there with me to try it.
Atmosphere- Clean and bright. Not the homiest Italian place I have been to but it is clean. There are some over priced paintings on the wall that I notice had not moved in a year.
Food- This is why I come back. I always order the Speck- ( stuffed with cheese and grilled with balsamic glaze and a dot of red sauce for dipping.) It is simply scrumptious. We were disappointed at first when my dish had arrived. it had not been cooked enough. It needs to be crispy but not burned. When I told the waitress she simply said it would be done as per ur order and it came back perfect! Wow! I love that dish. This visit I ordered the special pasta ( black and green olives, capers, and tomatoes in a lemon wine red sauce) I think I could eat that everyday and i would not get sick of it. I was disappointed not to have a gelato ( chocolate is my choice but I really wish they would make grapefruit- my favourite) They have a gelato shop in the back but I was too full to have it but I know it is good. In the past i have had the tiramisu . It is ok but not the best.
Service- Excellent . Always is excellent. Knows the menu and refills water attentively.
Impression- When in the area the appetizer is a must.
Really good lasagna. Food Tastes homemade. Service could've been a bit better. Our group was served by a grumpy waitress that didn't seem to like the 'out of Towners' as she was over the top friendly with a table of regulars who were sitting right beside us. Very obvious.
Food was excellent, reviewed by an Italian. Being Italian I am extremely critical of eating Italian food out at restaurants. I have to say that the food here was excellent. We came after looking in Urbanspoon for good food places in Huntsville. I ordered the seafood linguine. I was hesitant to order though because I prefer that dish with cream sauce and here they serve it with a tomato sauce. However, I was very happy that I ordered it as it was just as good with tomato sauce. I had just wished for more at the end. All the pasta is homemade and you can definitely taste that it is. The other people with me ordered pizza and other pastas and everyone enjoyed it. It is a bit pricey (as is all Italian restaurants) but it is well worth it.
Best little italian restaurant. Every time I'm in Huntsville I try to make a special trip to That Little Place By the Lights, the pasta is to die for, home made right there by hand with love. Great selection of other fine foods too always fresh. In the summer they serve something like icecream, can't remember what it's called but it's non dairy and tastes delightful. Always friendly service too even with it gets really busy in the summer on weekends. Be sure to visit them if your local in the fall winter and spring for a more relaxed visit and a friendly chat with the owners.
Quaint, simple, delicious and friendly. An non-pretentious restaurant. Had homemade soup of the day, homemade focaccia, and linguini puttanesca. Great food and a great price. I'm coming back in the morning for the coffee.
Wow. Great pasta. Lasagna and home made gnocchi were fantastic. Generous portion sizes.
Enjoyed the food. We saw the restaurant on "You Gotta Eat Here!" and decided to try it for dinner. The lasagna is excellent with nice flavour and textures. The chicken piccata was also very good. We enjoyed the whole meal, and the staff were friendly and efficient.
Great restaurant in the Muskokas. We had a wonderful family dinner. Food is very good and the staff are excellent.
Was Pretty Average. Saw them on TV so decided to try it. Had the Spaghetti Bolognese and it was good but nothing spectacular. The sauce was also not very plentiful. Have had better in St Lawrence Market and at my mom's house. According the show they don't put garlic in the sauce and I think they could use some. Need more flavour. I guess they have to keep it pretty neutral to appeal to the most people. The restaurant is surprisingly large inside and everyone is super nice. Will go back for sure and try other things. Once again, the spaghetti was by no means bad it fact it was quite good just didn't blow my mind or anything.
The place is very nice and the lasagna is the best
Absolutely fantastic! Authentic family-owned and operated restaurant. The specials are always amazing and couldn't be made to be fresher. The best of the best homemade meals!
Awesome and looking forward to the next meal. Took my wife for a long drive with this restaurant as our goal for the day. A lovely small restaurant that had such friendly staff as soon as you entered. It was lunch time, and the waitress was patient explaining choices to my wife. She got what she wanted.....a fresh, home made meal that was awesome. We started with the TLP salad plate. Big size and we shared it. I had the lasagna. From the first bite it was heaven in my mouth. The noodles are so thin and the sauce and cheese was perfect. The salad was amazing, thanks to the waitres for advising us on it. My wife's Alfredo with spinach and shrimp was incredible. We are already talking about a return visit for the dinner menu. The staff and the food are exactly what you dream of when you want a time out for great food....thank you
Love this place. Home made pasta that tastes amazing. Very clean and great service. A great place for lunch, dinner and coffee. A must visit in Muskoka.
Fantastic. This place is without a doubt the finest place to eat in Huntsville, if not Muskoka, and possibly in Ontario. The pasta is amazing, pizza is superb, and be sure to take home a lasagna for tomorrow nights dinner! I've eaten lunch and dinner here a tonne of times and Manny, Annie, and the whole crew never disappoints. Where else can you find a family run italian restaurant where Mama is really in the kitchen, especially north of the GTA? This place blows every other restaurant in Huntsville out of the water. Oh I almost forgot....the pricing is so reasonable too. Make the little place by the lights your next dinner or lunch out destination! Keep up the good work Manny, my family loves your restaurant.
It was great. Good prices, good service and simple but tasty menu.
Best food ever. Wish they were in Toronto but everytime were in Huntsville that's the only place we eat. Staff is amazing & so is the owner manny. Love everything on the menu FANTASTIC
Excellent food. Very clean, great spot
I love their penne with tomato sauce, it's so fresh, and mouth watering. I love their penne with tomato sauce, it's so fresh, and mouthwatering! My parents love the seafood dish! Everytime we come up to the cottage I really hope to go there
Surprise Suprise. How often do you drop into an unknown place and get such a wonderful surprise. Great service, wonderful wholesome food that tastes great. We were passing through and lucky for us decided to stop and have lunch. Home made quality and taste.
We went to the restaurant for a dinner of family(4 of us) last night, the food and service was amazing! We never expected an authentic Italian place in a small town - the complimentary home made bread was the same taste we had in Italy, crispy as delivered from oven to table, the pizza was something you couldn’t find in a pizza chain, not salty, not plain, just fabulous crispy, thin pizza, you can savour the juicy of fresh tomatoe cube with melted cheese on pizza. Recommend anyone trying their pizza, 12 inch only cost around $15, the best taste pizza!
So yummy! Went in on a Friday night and was lucky enough to snag a table right away! Ordered a delicious Bellini and the arugula pesto pizza, my husband got the gnocchi and oh my they were both absolutely delicious!!! Would 10/10 recommend this restaurant for a bite if you're in Huntsville! Will definitely be back!
Probably one of the best Italian restaurants I have ever been to. Service was good. Food was sooooo good. Prices were fair because portions were big. Can't wait to come back!
Do not leave without trying the gelato, it's amazing.
We had the speck as appetizer and pizza ,lasagna and gnocchi and everything was delicious. Best gnocchi I've ever had. Kitchen was a bit slow but it was a busy evening and the server let us know about it in advance.
Great place to get some good good.
We had a Caprese salad, pizza and Ravioli, the food was very good, as well as the service.
Will visit again when in Huntsville.
Adorable little place with a great patio that is well spaced out. The service we received here was phenomenal as well! So friendly and the staff knew their menu dishes very well. We enjoyed everything we ordered included the drinks and dessert. A must try when you’re in Huntsville!!! We had the antipasto platter, fresh handmade Gnocchi, spaghetti & meatballs, chicken Marsala, tiramisu.
Aglio, Olio e Peperoncino was really good. It's a little spicy and greasy, but the pepper slice caught the balance well. Caprese was also good.
The best place for date night! They have fantastic food and a great atmosphere. We're beyond excited for the new patio renovations!
