Everything about Civil Engineering and Home. Post Tensioning: Post tensioning has become a common term in the world of construction. From its European beginnings all the way to its widespread use in the U. S as well as in other countries, this building method has become a household name in long-lasting structures. As you read along, you'll learn more about the process of post tensioning, its modern day uses and applications as well as its benefits. Post tensioning is defined as introducing prestressed concrete and other construction materials in the process of building. Prestressing is necessary in order to counteract the heavy weight of service loads that can jeopardize the safety of a certain structure. Furthermore, post tensioning is the process of steel being tensioned after the concrete has been placed. It is done onsite through the installation of post-tensioned tendons. Tendons are the primary element in post tensioning. It consists of one (monostrand) or more (multistrand) prestressed steels and is wrapped with a protective coating in a ductmore...See more text

Found this restaurant by accident while hunting for a sushi place. So glad we ended up here! Our waitress was fast, friendly, and accurate. The food was PERFECT! I actually felt like I was eating at home in Italy. Tiramisu tasted exactly like the home made kind I remember my aunt and uncle having at family gatherings. I only wish I lived closer so I could eat there more often.
I have to say that although the food was okay and I mean just 'okay', but even if it was incredible, I wouldn't go back because the service was so horrible. I'm pretty sure I was reprimanded for questioning the bottle of wine that was brought to the table when it was the wrong one. So I drank wine I didn't order and I'm sure it was more expensive than the one I did order. And it went down from there.
I love Italian food.
I should start off with that. I grew up with it, I cook it, I read about it. Ennio's is the kind of place that I go to when I have a hankering for a good, old-fashioned North-American Italian meal that reminds me of my grandfather's home cooking. I took my family here for my birthday this year, and they raved about it. My father gave a rare thumbs up, my hungry brother devoured everything, and his picky non-Italian girlfriend was quite happy. My Italian mother and I were in our glory: chatting with the wonderful (if slightly forgetful) co-owner and getting our Italian groove on.
It all comes down to their variety of sauces, which are always fresh and flavourful. The mushroom rigatoni is to die for. Yes, the salads are bare-bones, but remind me so much of my grandfather's also very simple house salads. I'm super picky when it comes to dressings, and this is one of the few restaurant vinaigrettes that I'll happily eat. The pazzo bread is deep-fried deliciousness.
And the specials... oh, the specials! My partner and I have signed up for their taste-testing sessions and have been to a few: this is a chef that is genuinely interested in trying new things, without going overboard. He sticks with authentic flavours, and I'm always very happy to try whatever is recommended.
It's a comfortable restaurant, simply put. The kind of place that I go to when I want a reminder of my north end Hamilton heritage; good, hearty and simple. The photos on the wall are wonderful -- real family photos, from the 'old country' and the 'new one'. You can even recognize some of the faces just by looking around the staff.
My favourites: Con Fungi, Gnocchi, Tiramisu
I could not disagree more with the previous review. I have eaten in all 10 provinces, all 50 states and 27 other countries.
Over the last 8 years we have found Ennio's to be consistently among the best casual Italian restaurants anywhere.
It is like dining with family.
Good food, good wine and nice people.

We arrived after 8:30 on a weeknight for a late dinner for two. A number of other parties were relaxing over after-dinner drinks or dessert. We were greeted warmly as usual and shown to our table. The owners have done an excellent job with the interior decorating at the new location on Fairway, creating a semi-open but warm atmosphere. The food is authentic Italian cuisine and the menu provides plenty of variety so you will keep coming back. Wine list is not extensive, but the choices are good. Highly recommended.
