3. Bar Vendetta

4.7

Exceptional(609)

$$$$

• Contemporary Canadian • Little Portugal / Dundas West

Booked 34 times today

Bar Vendetta distinguishes itself in a space that had previously been a fairly iconic restaurant, The Black Hoof, with a beautiful (and imposing) Douglas fir ‘glass canopy’ and a completely different, 70s colour scheme, modelled (very loosely) on Jen's teen basement bedroom in Scarborough. Nothing says 70s like brown, orange and cream! We didn’t want it to scream ‘Italian restaurant’ because frankly it’s only Italian-ish, using the philosophies of Italian cooking with locally available ingredients and a strong devotion to seasonality. Our pastas all made in house, by long-time chef, Annalisa Latavo and our front of house team is simply a dream! The sort of secret treehouse-feeling back patio is hugely popular in the summer, but we think of it as the perfect restaurant for a colder evening, cozy for tucking into a beautiful plate of pasta, with one of your favourite songs playing while you have a very nice Italian red.

Wait staff was on point with recommendations. Everything we ordered was great, there was a bit of delay with our salad, this our pasta dish was served first, the salad was served later with a burger. Never less the salad was worth the wait 🥰

As usual, the food and service are consistently excellent at Bar Isabel. It has been years since I have eaten here and I'm pleased that they are as good as I remember. The grilled octopus and Basque cake were standout dishes for me.

The service was exceptional. We had several servers greet us, check on us, take our orders and provide our meal and drinks. It was a little cool on the patio so we were the only ones out there. They did turn the music down when we asked, which was greatly appreciated because it was hard to hear. There are so many menu options available to vegetarians. The food is general good pub food. The location is really handy too.
