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...

One of the best Italian restaurant in Toronto and the food is always great and very consistent.

Beautiful restaurant as well and the staff are always happy to serve you.

Always if you like duck, you need to try their Duck Ragu, wow 🤤🤌

Highly recommended.

We had a great valentine’s three-course dinner there. Had a good time. Our waiter looks like Tom Cruise. A very nice guy. It’s understandable the food was served a little bit slow because it was Valentine’s Day. The kitchen was so busy. They tried their best. The risotto I ordered is salty for me. So, I gave 4 stars for food. But I know a lot of people like salty. The king shrimps are were fresh. It’s just not for me.
