    The space is well designed, all of the staff from arrival, our main waiter and the new bus boy, Milan, were attentive, friendly and professional. Look forward to our next experience.

    The staff gave us exceptional service and made my girlfriend’s birthday dinner into an awesome evening. The food was amazing as well. Nodo Leslieville never disappoints!

    Food was good for our 3pm late lunch for a party of seven. Service was spotty though, especially when they changed our server near the end of the meal. Asking us, "Did you still want your drinks?" about 15 minutes after they brought out dessert with no tea is a funny/strange thing to ask your customers.

    Always an amazing experience at Nodo. This is our family birthday celebration dinner restaurant and we love it so much that we keep coming back. Pastas made just like Nonna makes.

    Excellent authentic Italian food - perfectly prepared - we’re going back ! Only issue is the kitchen closes at 9pm so our 8:30 reservation and asked to leave at 10pm cut our friends outing short

    Hi, It's us again. The ones who find table 14 the best place to be. What started as a book club pre-meeting for two has become a much more meaningful experience. Our visit started off with the Burrata Caprese salad, followed by a bottle of Bine Gavi wine and then the Trinacria. What a wonderful combination!! Add to that a discussion of Anthony Doerr's Cloud Cuckoo Land - and there's not much else to say. Except there is...more. Our hosts, who make us feel so welcomed. We had been away for a while and wondered if the they would still be there. They were. Sophia and Jenna (Jessica was off to our dismay) filled us in with their latest observations, intentions and aspirations (there was also a new host whose name we did not get...but will!). Truly remarkable when people are so excited about...life. More so that a company can retain (maybe contain is a better word) them. As we discuss our book, it's ideas and themes - this particular night everything seemed to converge toward the words from a singular chapter heading in Cloud Cuckoo Land: Chapter 22 "What You Already Have is Better Than What You so Desperatley Seek". This best described our time here - no need to look elsewhere. Very Special people and amazing food and wine. Yes, this is no longer an impartial review, going forward it will never be. We don't know how this came about - we do know there is nothing else to look for. It's all about people. Know that and you can't lose.
