| The inside is dimly lit and blooms a cozy feel |
I have a childhood friend who lives really close to the restaurant, so if she is reading this I wanted to say hello. When Michael and I walked in to the restaurant it seemed really cozy, like a family style restaurant. I liked that there were pictures of John Catucci around the establishment and on their menu.
The menu at Neighbours is really big, there is so much to choose, from pasta, pizza, a combination, or Greek food. It was such a big menu that the three of us, Michael, my aunt and myself, couldn't decided what we wanted and took a good 15 to 20 minutes to decide what we wanted.

| Their most popular dish - baked lasagna |
I initially thought I was going to order the pizza because that's what John got, but everything changed when I saw the menu. After a long time deciding our linner (a combination of lunch and dinner), I got the baked lasagna ($14.95) since the menu claimed it's their most popular dish. It tasted a lot more cheesier then an average lasagna, that was a major plus, and the meat sauce with the lasagna wasn't overwhelming, so everything went really well with the combination. I would describe the food as smooth and very flavorful from the gooey cheese and the light taste of the meat.

| Chicken Mediterranean Dish |
Michael got the Chicken Mediterranean Dish ($15.95), and thought the chicken was nice but it was a little over seasoned and a little salty for his liking. But there were lots of the chicken so that was nice. He said the mushrooms in the chicken was a nice combination as well and that the rice pilaf on the side was very enjoyable - good flavour and mixing well with the chicken. The salad was nice and light, with sprinklings of cheese giving a little creamy taste.

| Canadian bacon and pepperoni pizza |
My aunt got the Canadian bacon and pepperoni ($19.95) pizza, and was ever so nice to let me try. I thought the pizza was really good, meaty and cheesy, and the pizza overall was light so it didn't feel too overwhelming after finishing. I usually leave the crust behind when I finish a slice, but the Neighbour's crust was light and it was far from being dry.
Overall, Michael and I really liked Neighbour's and we wouldn't mind going back to try some more different selections on the menu. For the price that we paid, the amount of food we were served is outrageous. We left the restaurant really full and we can't wait to go back for more food.

Your right, Neighbour's has terrific food; our family has pretty much tried it all as we are regulars there.But we want people to know that Neighbour's is more than a great restaurant. It has a great family that operates it. And more than that, they have hearts of gold. I think it needs to be shared just how good this family is to those around them. Their customers are more than 'just' customers to them. My husband was in the hospital last summer being diagnosed with cancer. My two sons along with myself were sitting in the hospital room visiting with my husband when in walked George with Pizza and Lasagna from the restaurant for my husband to have a treat as a break from the hospital food. He said that he and Mitzi were talking about my husband being so sick and wouldn't he like to have this. Mitzi got right on it and made it up and George drove over to VGH to deliver it.You could have knocked any of us right over with a feather as this was the first time anyone had done such a thing. This really does go beyond the call of duty and i think people should hear about it. And even more; we found out that he visits a lot of people when they are sick and in hospital just like that. That is something our family will never forget and because it made such an impression on us we will 'pay it forward' to others as life goes on. Whenever we go to the restaurant since then they always come and ask how we are all doing.They care! Thanks George, Mitzi and the rest of the family and staff. People like you make the world a nicer place.
