The pizzas and pastas were really good. The rigatoni bolognese was incredible! The service wasn't that good.

The service was exceptional. Our waiter was very welcoming. The portions were greater than what we anticipated and tasted fantastic. We had the pizza special, calamari, salad special, pizza barrua and the orecchiette. We'll be back soon!

The Aspargus Risotto was outstanding. Everyone else enjoyed their meal but I thought mine could not have been better. I woke up this morning thinking about it and wishing I could enjoy it again. Creamy and dreamy! The waiter was excellent and the cocktail he suggested was perfect.

Amazing food and service! My husband and I had the Cavolo, Cavoletti e Lenticchie salad, which was delicious and was a very good portion size for two. I then ordered the Papardelle pasta with duck ragu, which was delicious. My husband ordered the Rgatoni Bolognese, which he enjoyed as well. I also had one of the cocktails (the Mojito Momila) which was delicious and refreshing for the summer. Service was quick and helpful. Will definitely come back. Thank you!

The food is exceptional and the service is equal to the food served. Nodo has become one of our most favourite restaurants in Toronto!!

I had booked here because I have a disability and use a scooter, it says on this site that they're wheelchair accessible but they're not, there is a 6 inch platform from the sidewalk, I got very upset with the owner of the restaurant I told him that it's unacceptable to have that on the site but clearly he has not removed it because it's still up there a few days later. He did however give me 50% off my bill to try to compensate for the lack of dignity I was shown. Wake up people, there are more people that have disabilities that you realize, accommodate them

Our first visit to Nodo was great. The food was absolutely fantastic. There was a lot of variety of pizza and there were a lot of people picking up some for takeout. A complete set of options for pastas. A short list of secondi kept some choices simple: 1 beef, 1 chicken, 1 fish, etc. We shared a really good salad (with pear, walnut, Gorgonzola, parmigiana on arugula with a light poppyseed dressing). My partner enjoyed a perfectly made and cooked pasta with a tasty assortment of mushrooms. I had the short ribs that was large and delicious, also with a giant mushrooms that was a creamy texture and lighter flavour. We were too full to entertain the notion of desert. Service was mature and knowledgeable— just right. If I was to try to find something to criticize it would be the sound because the place was pretty busy for a Sunday night and the music in the background seemed to be some droning techno beat on an endless loop that made hearing harder without actually adding discernible “music” to the atmosphere. The prices are high, I do need to warn you, but not out of line for the flavour, size of portions, and presentation. Though pricier than I am accustomed to, it was casual not snobby.

Service was mediocre, waiter kept interrupting our conversation and was not keeping an eye on our water bottle or taking empty dishes on time. Most of the food was okay, except my wife's fish dish that was overcooked. It's unfortunate because it has a good ambience, we were hoping to like it and were disappointed.

We arrived around 8 PM with a reservation, and our order was taken shortly after we were seated. However, we waited 40 minutes without receiving anything. Eventually, another waitress came over to apologize and offered to take our order again, as if it had never been placed. This situation was extremely unprofessional. Typically, when such situations occur, restaurants offer something as a gesture of apology. In our case, we were simply asked to place the order again.
Great atmosphere and a welcoming vibe. I really appreciate that they offer a gluten-free pasta option—it's a thoughtful touch for those with dietary needs. Still, it's a bit disappointing that there's no cider on the menu, especially as an alternative for those who don't drink beer.

Absolutely fantastic service, food, and the wine selection is beyond extensive.

Went early as we have kids. Everything was dleicious, grill octopus and the chitarra special were personal favourites. They accomodated the kids with some buttered noodles and cheese since they are picky too. Food came out ina. timely fashioned but was not rushed and the wine with dinner was very nice.
Sharon
Great food . Great service. The only drawback was the noise level. Hard to hear our friends as people were talking extremely loud
