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

A hearty helping of Ennios fantastic meat sauce over spaghetti.
Server was incredibly rude!!! Even the Manager was rude! My advice stay away. Many other restaurants offer fine Italian food and treat their customers kindly.
Ennio's never fails to please! Last night we were in a bit of a rush as we had concert tickets. Explained to our waitress who speeded up the process by getting us our invoice very quickly. (Thank-you) The speeded up process did not make us feel rushed. We feel like family at Ennio's and the food is fresh, fantastic and friendly! Thank-you Ennio & Rosa and family!
I've been hearing a lot this past year than Ennio's is one of the better places to eat in K-W. If you wanted real, simple Italian food, this was the place to go. Judging by the large amount of people eating at their Kitchener location this Friday night, what I have been hearing was correct.
We decided to give it a try, seeing that we were in the area. We arrived around 7pm, and when we opened the door we were hit with a wall of sound. The place was packed. We were told that we would have a 45 minute wait for a table, which was fine.
The inside of the restaurant is very warm. Lots of dark red, burnt orange and brown. Most restaurants these days seem to have a minimalist approach to design, Ennio's uses every space available.
We were taken to our table in the bar area, and our drinks arrived within a minute. Two Shirley Temples.
For our starters, we ordered Bruschetta, and off the specials menu, Pork Belly on Crostini with Chipotle Mayo.
As I said above, the restaurant was very busy, so we had to wait a while for our food, but that didn't bother us. The Bruschetta was amazing. Fresh out of the oven, topped with lots of tomato, basil & mozzarella. No question, the best I've had. Better than most pizza to be honest.
As I write this, I am noticing a big food trend with Pork Belly. I see it on television being prepared lately, and several restaurants I've dined at this year have offered a Pork Belly dish. I understand why, it is a delicious and affordable cut of pork.
Their belly dish was good, but not great. The pork when ate alone, tasted wonderful. The crostini was also very fresh and soft. The Chipotle mayo just didn't blend well with the belly. It didn't taste bad, but a mayonnaise wasn't the best choice to top the pork.
For our main courses, I went simple with Spaghetti & Meatballs, my guest with White Wine & Garlic Mussels.
The Mussels were not very good. My guest loves mussels, orders them often in restaurants, but she was dead against these. She claimed the broth tasted like water, and the taste of the seafood was completely gone. She ate 6 quickly, then I noticed she slowed down and was pretty much finished with them. I tried one, and although the texture was very soft, the taste was bad. Mussels aren't for everyone obviously, but the taste was just off. The plating looked great, but my guest did not enjoy them. She was also given no bread with the dish. Nothing to dip into the broth. Just mussels.
On a more positive note, my Spaghetti & Meatballs were fantastic. The pasta cooked al-dente, a beautiful tomato sauce, and the meatballs were great. The meatballs were very strong, lots of good flavor inside. The best Spaghetti & Meatballs I've had.
I wanted to order Tiramisu, but my stomach was saying no. So I passed on dessert.
The friendly waitress was quick at taking our empty plates away when finished, and kept her eye on us the entire time.
It was a good meal, with the exception to the Mussels. We enjoyed everything but. I would like to return and try some other items off their menu, because I am sure they would be delicious.
The place was alive, with couples on dates, families, and groups of friends. No doubt, a hot spot in Kitchener right now. For the most part, we enjoyed our meal, and the atmosphere of the restaurant.
Went for MIL's Bday and she is tough to impress and yet she was. She often doesn't finish her meal and ate the whole lugini and even ordered cheesecake as well! Husband had pizza and hurt himself eating it all (to be fair he also had 3 pieces of bread). My kids both had children's pizza which was a great price ($7 for pizza and drink and ice cream!). I had gnoccis and it was wonderful! I also had the most decadent chocolate cake afterwards that I didn't mind sharing with the kids as it was too much (and I am not a light eater). So rich I wish I had ordered milk!
I will happily go again but will make sure the kids have something more then just crayons and a picture as the food took a bit long to make but it was worth it.
3 adults, 2 kids with full meals, apps, desserts and drinks (no alcohol) = $85.
I visited this restaurant with my girlfriend for dinner. The service was quick and we had a very friendly waitress. The decor was also very nice.
The food? I ordered the alfredo. The portion was generous but I didn't enjoy it very much. I could've easily cooked the same meal with a jar of alfredo sauce, some dried bacon bits, and pasta from the food basics right across the street for 1/4 of the price I paid here.
