    The vibe was amazing and food was just incredible. Great olives, salad, and pastas. Friendly service, who recommended a great bar afterwards. Would make this a regular spot if I lived in the area!

    Have to admit, my friend and I were skeptical! But I’m easy when it comes to Italian cuisine! I was excited. My friend is not big on Italian food but she was open minded. I had some delicious and fresh focaccia bread with some balsamic oil for dipping. The oil was kind of gross but, I still ate it with that lovely bread. My friend had the ricotta and cherry tomato bruschetta I tried some, excellent! She had pasta near the end but I can’t remember which one. Tried that! Yummy, I was enjoying my wine too much to order dinner so there was my mistake! I really wanted the meatballs so I guess I have to go back! The servers were pleasant and lovely! The lighting was ambient and nice! Beautiful clean ladies washrooms downstairs! I’m actually very much looking forward to going back! Highly recommend! From what I tasted? I’m excited for my next visit! Way to go Bar Vendetta! You’ve captured my heart! 😉👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 🍷🥖

    Starters: the buratta was the creamiest I’ve ever tasted. The focaccia, carpaccio and citrus salad are winners! Pasta: Crown cacio e peppe and the Tagliatelle with ragu were both dry delicious…more winners!

    Will definitely be coming back. Quiet, cozy, and friendly atmosphere. Focaccia and Bitter Greens Salad both unexpectedly blew me away. The meatballs were flavourful and the tomato sauce was fresh. Pastas all tasted amazing and were perfectly al dente. The Trecce was a little heavy for me and my friend (who also shared the Pomodoro). The Pomodoro was simple and done well - no complaints.

    Our glasses were effortlessly always full and our dishes were cleared promptly while being replaced with another, each course more fantastic than the last. Inventive flavours and quality ingredients create transportive culinary works of art in a curated yet no-fuss atmosphere. Inspired cocktails and an almost unbelievable selection of wine ensures that everyone at the table is having a good time. What a treat to see a team of staff so proud of what they do.

    Only quibble is that it got extremely loud, making conversation difficult. Not sure if more soft surfaces would address that issue. Otherwise, excellent service and good food.

    ...my son first took me to this wonderful little restaurant a few months ago. I have since had a dinner date with my husband and have now shared this hidden gem with friends. The food ignites my palate with each returning dining experience and I look forward to each dish with great anticipation. The service has been amazing whether at the bar or table seating. Looking forward to our next dining experience with Bar Vandetta!

    Sat at the bar for a date and had a fantastic evening. The bartender Matthier (sp?) was really friendly, knowledgeable about wine, engaging, and prompt. The food was fantastic. We shared three appetizers and a pasta and left full. The overall experience was fantastic and will definitely come back.

    Food was decent and arrived quickly. Did not appreciate being rushed out at exactly 90 minutes to accommodate another reservation when we had ordered a bottle of wine and were still finishing desert. I understand the need to turn tables but it can be done more graciously.
