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 that its definitely reasonable given the quality.I highly recommend this restaurant as it did not disappoint.

True authentic Sicilian food. You feel like you've landed in Italy.We were in the area and took a chance and were able to grab an early dinner reservation time slot which felt lucky since this place is commonly fully booked.The best Italian food I've ever had. The pastas are so fresh they melt in your mouth. The flavors are luxurious and not overpowering. The portions are decent so you are full but not stuffed.We started with the bread which comes with their olive oil. They also sell bottles of their olive oil to take home and I highly recommend it. My favorite olive oil.We had the arancino, crispy, tasty and filled with beef and some veg. We ordered two pastas, I don't remember their names. One was a spaghetti like pasta with anchovy butter and truffles and cheese and it was my favourite. I could have eaten 3 bowls of it. We also ordered a second pasta which was squid ink and shrimp and tomato paste among other ingredients. It was also excellent, juicy shrimp cooked to perfection.I had a mocktail with smoked Rosemary and cranberry and it was really nice too.The space is a gorgeous cozy vibe, great service and a stunning atmosphere. Simple yet elegant. Love this place and no other place in Toronto compares to this authentic and fresh food experience

Came with 4 people. The truffle pasta was great. Pulpo was my favourite. Pizza was solid as well. Service was on point. Canolo for dessert was a great finish. Would recommend. To my taste only thing was food was tad bit too salty for me.

Food quality is not good. I feel like the ingredients in making my pasta was not generous hence flavour was very minimal. Pasta is also overcooked.Home-made pasta would taste so much better and would have more flavor.Pizza was the only thing that was good in our order

Best spot on King East for many years and they didn't miss a beat post covid. We are always looking forward to our next dinner out at Ardo

Nice spot. Hard to find parking in this area. The staff were nice and our waiter was great. The Octopus was very good. The gnocchi was good but a small portion for the price. The pizza was good but we've had much better for much less. All in all a good little sicillian spot. I chose it because it was close to where we were and the web showed a lobster pasta dish that turned out not to be on the menu. In truth, we're over these overpriced small restaurants. Our lunch (pasta from Pasta Bros) at The St. Lawrence Market was a fifth the price, more food and much much better in all respects. Just the honest truth. No need to spend this much on pasta unless you want the sit down dinner atmosphere.

Amazing food and fantastic service. We've been regulars for the past four years. We always go for the burrata (simple yet tasty) and the pulpo for starters. The Ragu pasta is really good. In terms of pizza, I recommend either the Margherita or the Norma. (Note that they don't offer pizzas for lunch service) I have tried the fresh fish once before and I did not think it was that special. It depends on the type of fish though. When I had it, it was a fresh water fish.

Authentic Sicilian Italian restaurant in Toronto . As soon as we walked in we were greeted and seated to our table, reservations recommended. Our server was friendly and informative. The food was fresh and delicious thanks to the chef at the open kitchen. See you soon

Great Italian restaurant, a bit on the pricier side. This place is always busy, even on weeknights. We were seated at the Chef’s table & it was fun to watch the chefs cook your food in front of you. Servers were very attentive. The grilled octopus & mushrooms were delicious & so was the pizza. The spaghetti was also good. The cannoli was incredible.
