      Rapscallion & Co. is a mischievous and vibrant part
      of Hamilton’s restaurant scene, dedicated to offering the city’s culinary
      connoisseurs a full nose-to-tail experience. We offer a regularly changing,
      meaty and creative menu in a laid-back setting. Our skilled and
      passionate chefs do it all, whether it’s curing, salting, boning, stuffing,
      wrapping, charring, braising, or just leaving the meat raw.
      Above all, we love to prepare food that pushes boundaries and pulls you outside of your comfort zone — just a little bit. We get tremendous joy out of food and offer items that you are unlikely to find another local restaurants. While we love meat more than some people love their firstborn, we are always happy to accommodate those who don’t. Vegetarians and vegans are always welcome, options available by request.

      I really enjoyed Piano Piano Hamilton. A friend recommended this restaurant and so glad she did. The food and service was excellent. We made Happy Hour Wine and appies with the server making sure we got our first order in for Happy Hour. I had the Meatballs and the yummy bread. The washrooms were clean with a shared sink area. I would go back but I will have to try Piano Piano in Oakville closer to my home. However if I do go to a show at Ontario Place I will definately return to Piano Piano Hamilton.
