Reviews for ARDO Restaurant in Toronto, ON
Delicious, classy, and elegant! Our waiter was wonderful. He was very knowledgeable on the menu, and went above and beyond to... make our (first) experience memorable and enjoyable! Thank you! Read more
Family run restaurant? Check. Authentic Italian? Check. Astonishingly deep wine list? Check. Sublime and sensationally presented... plates? Check. Warm and friendly room and atmosphere?Check. Best cannoli you will EVER have this side of Naples? Check. We dinedat Ardo a few weeks ago - and are going back soon - and we still look at each other with a stupid grin and go ‘damn that was atremendous dining experience!” Sig other had the braised short rib and - I kid you not, she may have experienced a low levelorgasm, it was that good. Just deep well seasoned flavor and unctuous-ness. I had the daily fish special and I can say I leftthe plate as clean as the moment before they plated it. Meaty flavorful sustainable Northwest Territories whitefish with goldenbeets. I think I passed out temporarily from the umami of crisp fish skin and the soft flaky texture and taste. Honestly,it’s going up on the list of top 10 meals. And I’m already wetting myself with excitement about going back again this week.I cannot wait. Edit: back again and braised beef and squid ink pasta in the back alley outdoor patio. Couple glasses Nerod’Avola, finished with cannoli and dreamy creamy pannacotta Read more
Friendly staff, good menu at fair prices. Portions are decent. Would return again and try the pasta. Be prepared to wait a... little bit longer between dishes.. Read more
Pleasant, lively, chattery atmosphere. Kind and accommodating staff. The food was great! I tried a selection of their dishes and... a few stood out to me. Their chick pea fritters appetizer is one of the best things on their menu. So light, satisfyinglycrispy, and the unique chick pea taste makes these little crisps more addicting than your favorite french fries. Their gnocchiis spectacular. Each bite was so smooth and satisfying. Their cannoli is simply perfect. Everything you expect and more. Theirabsolute best item is the cream with candied lemon and fennel (not sure of its proper name). It is irresistible, such a smoothand elegant taste. I could eat tubs of it. The prices are slightly above my style of eatery, and their other dishes can beaverage. However they have many dishes which make the entire experience worth it. Overall, a pleasant experience!

We were welcomed very warmly by the staff, and particularly enjoyed the decor and musical ambiance. To eat, we shared a burrata,... a margherita pizza and the tartufo, which were all delightful. Our personal highlight was the burrata, which is imported fromItaly. It’s fair to say it’s the best I’ve ever had in Canada. Would recommend this place! Read more
Braised short rib was my favourite, melt in your mouth soft, the cannoli was also amazing. Service was outstanding, our server... Meghan made great recommendations and we enjoyed every dish/drink she suggested. We will be going back often! Reasonable pricesfor great food. Read more
Had a birthday dinner for my dear daughter last night. The restaurant was busy. The service was awesome (shout out to Anthony... for the amazing service and wonderful sense of humour!!) We (there were 5 of us) enjoyed everything we ordered. I orderedGnocchi and it was amazing! I will go back again in the new year :) Read more
Awesome experience! Great ambiance, friendly service and amazing quality of food. We ordered the octopus, truffle pasta and... short ribs. All of which were super tasty! I’m sure some people would say portions are rather small, but I would argue thatits definitely reasonable given the quality. I highly recommend this restaurant as it did not disappoint. Read more
