I cannot say enough good things about this evening’s dinner. We absolutely loved chef Bennett. The hospitality was unmatched and the food was even better. 5 out of 5 stars. We will 100% be back!

Absolutely amazing service and food. Everything was delicious. Jessica took great care of us and working with our allergies. Everyone there made my mother’s birthday and first time in Toronto worth the trip.

Another awesome dinner. Always top level food and service.

La Bartola has an ambient atmosphere perfect for intimate dates or more lively dinners with colleagues and friends. The staff are attentive and friendly, willing to offer recommendations and explanations of menu items without hesitation. I had their white mole dish, followed by the chocolate cake, and was blown away by how incredible everything tasted. For cocktails, the Oaxacan (pronounced "Wa-ha-kan") Old Fashioned is an unmissable classic, combining the flavours of an Old Fashioned with the unmistakeable smokiness of mescal, which is a Oaxacan specialty. I've been to Bartola twice now and, as a non-vegan, find their menu exciting, intriguing, and, above all, outstanding. I will be back!

Once again an amazing evening at Zitto Zitto! Scrumptious food! Great company. Cozy atmosphere. Phenomenal staff! Marty as always being his hilarious self. Lovely meeting Ian this evening. The two fellas are dinner and a show! Precision dining watching Marty weave in/out from the kitchen and his sleight of hand when you realize he changed out the silverware while dazzling you with his sparkling personality! Maurice had his favourite cauliflower side dish with today’s special: butternut squash risotto, he added shrimp. It was soo good! I forget which cocktail Ian made him. I had my roasted beets with the melt in your mouth burrata, pistachio pesto, linguine con asttice - OMG! Sooooo good! Pistachio tiramisu for dessert. Marty made me a mocktail, he called Bianca’s something, just delicious. Oh Marty razzle dazzled us with his oil & balsamic swirling skills, to dip our bread. Ask him to make it dirty for ya! Ha! ;o)
