La Frasca Cibi & Vini

Food was delicious. Server was excellent and down to earth. She made us feel special.

Really good Italian food - old favourites with delicious additions. They make their own pasta and its excellent. There is a copious wine list - we had a Barbera that was extremely good. The service was cheerful and helpful and the atmosphere is definitely old world. If you go make sure someone has the gelato dessert - a gorgeous confection of fresh raspberries, gelato, raspberry syrup and a special macaron on top - a visual and taste delight. I wish I lived here so I could eat there often.

Seriously good cooking.

Restaurant, great waitress, very nice atmosphere, I recommend

It's a great place to take someone for a birthday dinner or a special event. It is not an everyday dining experience.

Food was good, if a bit pricey and the atmosphere is great. My biggest issue any time I have been here is it has been extremely busy, which leads to order mix-ups, and it feels the smaller tables are lost or forgotten among the large tables.

The food was next level, desserts did not disappoint in any way. We had no drinks. The ambience was great, but the lights to the whole room kept dimming and brightening randomly - seems like an easy fix however. I wish I remembered our server’s name, because she was utterly fantastic!

"Everything was excellent except the pasta portions were small. We don’t want waste or overstuffing ourselves, but for the price we also don’t want to leave not being full"

Dined here during my trip to Halifax. I sat at the bar and Peyton was my server and bartender. Peyton provided excellent service and was very friendly. The food and ambience was also perfect! Shout out to the host for also giving a warm greeting on arrival. I'll definitely be back.

Such a fun place to eat. Celiac safe (in my experience) and most of the menu can be made gf. It tends to be noisy so if you're not into that kind of thing it's something to be aware of. It's a cozy spot and the service is always top notch. Once a dish wasn't what I'd hoped and the server inquired why I wasn't eating much. I didn't want to complain but after I told them I wasn't into it they brought a free dessert after offering to replace the whole meal (I was already full so I didn't want another). The one time I didn't love what I got they more than made up for it with the service. That same day I ate a bunch of another persons pasta and theirs was excellent, I think what I had was a one off and have gone back with 0 issues since.

Dietary restrictions: Celiac here, never had an issue after eating here multiple times!

**Review for La Frasca Cibi & Vini – Halifax**

La Frasca Cibi & Vini offers a true taste of Italy right in the heart of Halifax. My recent dining experience was nothing short of exceptional. I started with the calamari, perfectly cooked with a crispy exterior and tender inside, bursting with flavor. The garlic shrimp were another highlight, packed with a delicious garlicky punch, complementing the shrimp’s natural sweetness.

For dessert, the caramel cheesecake was a divine indulgence—rich, creamy, and perfectly balanced with a drizzle of caramel, making it the ideal way to end the meal.

The ambiance at La Frasca is warm and inviting, with an elegant yet cozy atmosphere, perfect for a relaxed evening. The service was impeccable, with attentive staff who made the experience even more enjoyable.

If you're looking for the best Italian food in Halifax, La Frasca Cibi & Vini is a must-try!
