About this restaurant

Good for special occasions
Great for fine wines
Romantic

A Northern Italian kitchen inspired by the Bacari of Venice.

Our menu is inspired by tradition and dictated by the quality and availability of ingredients. We play off the similarities between the climates of Eastern Ontario and Northeast Italy, and create our take on classic dishes made with seasonal game, seafood and vegetables. Plus, sometimes we’ll just add whatever we want.

On practically every calle, salizada and ruga in Venice, you’ll find a Bacaro – a casual place to grab a glass of wine or Prosecco and a bite to eat, known as “cichèti.” Bacari are Italy’s answer to the pub, and cichèti are the Italian answer to Spanish tapas. Italians have an answer for everything. Situated at the rear of the restaurant, our Bacaro upholds the Italian tradition of togetherness. It’s the perfect place to meet friends after work, or to share a casual glass of sparkling wine and a small bite to eat.

Some of the best service you will receive in the National Capital Region. Delicious homemade pasta and terrific attention to detail from the servers.

What an incredible experience! It was my wife birthday and we arrived to the best seats in the house and menus that said happy birthday with her name. As the staff passed our table they all wished her a happy birthday The quality of service was second to none. Our server Malcolm was extremely knowledgeable and professional and made the experience that much more incredible.

Tasting menu was not revealed before booking as the menu tab just went to regular menu and a few friends decided not to join us as wanted to know what was being offered and so no info on the food or wine paring or price for both offered . Tax and fee was to be included as per open table info but instead of $150 as per ad the bill came as $237 which was &60 extra and taxed on the $210 now charge. We were never told about the$60 or the wine info before service or extra taxes!

Excellent evening! We were given a private dinning area just big enough for our table of 6 to celebrate my wife’s Birthday. Service was warm and friendly, and the server was very knowledgeable and attentive. He recommended the best Canadian red wine I have ever had. The food was delicious and very nicely presented, whoever, if you are looking for value in terms of quantity vs price, this is not the place to find it.

Great ambiance and service, the food was good but I was not impressed with the filet mignon tower with fois gras and truffle. For 65$ I was expecting something more remarkable. My wife loved her risotto and I enjoyed the entrees. Overall I recommend just avoid the 65$ plate…
