Darlings

An absolute gem of a restaurant in PEC - cocktails were amazing in gorgeous glasses, pizza was delicious, salad was fresh and flavourful and the service was impeccable! We’ll definitely return. Great for a dinner with friends or family.

Recently opened and they just stole the crown. Bow down to the new pizza kings of the County. I asked what style their pizza was and they said New Haven. I had it before in the US but Darlings is exceptional. It's a hybrid of New York and Neapolitan and possibly better than either one. Crust is thin but satisfying with a bit of smokey flavor from the charcoal oven. Modest amount of cheese but its high quality. Sauce is bright and flavorful. The peperoni was curling into cups as they should. Sausage was a bit bland but it was real sausage meat not sausage pellets. 10/10 pizza for real. Salads were impressive too and it takes a lot for a salad to be impressive. Service was friendly and not fake. The margaritas from the bar were world class, really balanced not just sweet. Mocktails were great too. Bartender has skills.

The only downsides is that the acoustics of the place are brutal so it gets real loud as the sound bounces off hard surfaces. They have a patio but since there is a farm across the street you should bring heavy duty mosquito protection if you plan to sit outside. They don't have takeout in the high season but hopefully they can add that moving forward.

I rarely rate reviews but I felt I needed to. We came here this past weekend for my bachelorette. When I say it was the best experience I’ve ever had, I’m not kidding. The service was so homey and personable. The food was phenomenal! We all had the best time. Everyone was so friendly! They shared suggestions with the food they brought us. The focaccia bread and dipping oil was out of this world. If I could give 10 stars I would. Thank you guys so much again from all of us! We had so much fun it really made my night!!

This past Father's Day I went with my son for dinner and I was instantly impressed. I love the unique cozy atmosphere, the very friendly service and not to forgot the different tasty courses including the pizza.
Duncan, the owner shared with us the history of this restaurant and his vision going forward.
I didn't pay attention to a wine-list, but when I asked for a recommendation - I enjoyed a perfectly chilled white wine from Austria.
I WILL be back soon. Christian

Darlings is a great low-key spot for a night out with your favourite motherpupper.

We had the maccheroni, a classic pupperoni pizza, a side of stracciatella cheese, and the "Get Wavy" (mini surprise cocktail which happened to be a margarita that day, a beer, and a shot).

Pros: The maccheroni was doglicious and the plate was massive. Loved the roast pork, it added some richness and texture which was balanced out by the tomato sauce. Great bite on the pasta too. The pizza was thin, crisp, and chewy. The pupperoni curled up into pawfect little cups with crispy, slightly charred edges. The stracciatella cheese was a pizza dip that I didn’t know I needed! (I only wish it was bigger.) Margarita was great too! We were so full we didn’t even have space for dessert!

Cons: service was a bit slow. We made a reservation but still had to wait a bit for our table to become available (that being said, it was a very busy night and we enjoyed watching the cows grazing in the field across the road while we waited on the pawtio).

Overall, 5 woofs out of 5.
