Great wine list. Delicious salads and pasta dishes. Server was gracious and friendly. Noise level was manageable. Lovely spot.

Food was excellent. We made a reservation, arrived, was told we were 7 minutes early (a bit rude). We were seated at the very back in front of a door and a speaker. It was freezing and incredibly loud. Every table should be a perfect experience, in my opinion. I was disappointed and we couldn't get out of there fast enough.

Loved all of the food we had, meatballs were possibly the best I’ve had at a restaurant. Only thing we didn’t like was the Cannoli milk wash cocktail, it tasted watery, which only got worse because they put a bunch of small vs a large ice cube in it. Server didn’t seem in the best mood so didn’t add to our experience and never once asked us how anything was. Was also unimpressed that she took away our meatball plate with the sauce we were using to dip garlic bread without asking and I wasn’t fast enough to stop her. Food is unreal and classic Jen Agg restaurant good vibes so definitely recommend a visit.

Very dark inside unless you're at the bar, so if you like that vibe then it's for you. Food was quite good, and there were some unique dishes. I thought the garlic cheesy bread was way way overpriced, and the service was pretty laid back, but again that's what they're going for. Some good dishes, and it's a solid choice overall.

I came here with my girl friends last night because they had been several times and raved about the food and particularly the pasta. The food was incredible as described, however the service was the worse I’ve ever experienced in my life. Our server continuously just dropped things on the table and walked away. When asked a question we got extremely rude and sharp responses. Our entire table continued to try and be nice to this person but it was truly astonishing how rude they were. Our whole table left the dinner shell shocked by how we were spoken to and treated by this server. It was unprompted and we don’t know this person so maybe it was an off night? But it was very disappointing considering the food was incredible and the atmosphere was fantastic, I would love to come back again and hopefully have a different server and service experience.

My favourite restaurant in the city has never disappointed, from service to food to drink. Ultimately, I'm a sucker for interior decor and atmosphere, and Vendetta executes this superbly with the retro oranges and mahogany browns, soft lighting and band posters, and, of course—the Spy v Spy wall! What a treat to dine here. Thank you for always making my dining experience chill, enjoyable, and cool. PS, keep the new potatoes dish! Unreal!!

Went here for a birthday dinner just before the new year. Nice dark ambiance to the space, which is quite small, but cute. The food was really good, portions were nice and it was all super tasty. Only criticism would be feeling a bit neglected with service.

A very cute and cozy spot, I have been here twice already. The first time I visited in April, I was very impressed, basically love everything I ordered. Last week I visited again and the menu seemed changed from the last time, which is good.

I enjoyed the garlic bread. But the tomato bruschetta wasn’t as good as last time, don’t know if the recipe changed. Overall it’s still a pleasant experience.

So delicious! Found out they have half portion size options for solo diners which was perfect! Got to try many things on the menu and loved everything. The bartender who served me was wonderful, as well. Would absolutely go back and recommend to others!

Christian

Perfect restaurant for an intimate night out. The by the glass menu had enough variety to appeal to the whole table.

Delicious food and delicious wine. Highly recommend a glass of the pearl morisette. For dinner we had the cheesy garlic bread, meatballs, the crown, and rigatoni with peppers and fennel. Everything was perfect. Looking forward to going back again to try other dishes.

Vibey, hole in the wall, hidden gem. Menu was straightforward - there's only 4 pastas to order for mains. A few interesting appetizers, with your standard Italian options. The meatballs were great. I couldn't tell how fresh the focaccia bread was or if it was just freshly warmed up. Might have got more attention with a couple more herbs.
I also enjoyed the new potatoes with the caviar - that was unique but the potatoes could have had more flavor (perhaps BBQ'd instead of boiled).
The pastas sealed the deal and really pushed up my opinion of the restaurant. Serious attention was paid to the flavour combinations. We tried three out of four and they were great.
