About this restaurant

Good for special occasions
Charming
Great for fine wines

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.

Fantastic meal. We ordered 6 dishes and three deserts to share among the three of us. We ate it all, and only one dish we would likely not order the next time (but even it was great). Every dish was unique and a culinary experience on its own. All together it was amazing.

The food was delicious, but the service was disappointing. Both the host and our server gave the impression that we weren’t worth their time — from pointed looks to condescending tone — and carried an overall air of superiority that made us feel unwelcome. Unfortunately, their attitude overshadowed the meal. We will not be returning.

North and Navy was a complete experience. Right from the greeting as soon as we entered all the way till we left. The service was excellent. Our server was very knowledgeable and explained the menu and all the items. They accommodated me being a vegetarian. The food was excellent. The ambience and the vibe was so moody. Perfect for our date night.

Good drinks, good food, good wines… what else can you ask for? A great service! We went with friends and the tasting menu was refreshing compared to the a la carte (which is nonetheless always a pleasure to order), nice Italian wines of various regions. Strongly recommend!

Patio was great, tables could be a touch taller. Service was perfect, management was pure class. The food was incredible. We will be back again. Theres a reason this is listed as one of the best restaurants in the country.

Thank you for hosting me and my toddler for a very special dinner! I loved that a high chair was available for us and Stephen (I think that was his name?) even brought us colouring pages and crayons. We had meatballs and the corzetti dish, which my daughter loved!

Food was fabulous! Really enjoyed the tasting menu + wine flight. Service was excellent. Only criticism was that it was a bit loud. Would have preferred a quieter table.
