Lardo

Perfect spot for a date night, with excellent service and solid food. Focaccia is fantastic, the arancini was solid, porchetta is quite rich (expected) but so well prepared. You definitely need some wine to cut that richness, or just share with a larger group. I especially loved the cavatelli, you can't go wrong with some sausage, rapini and fresh pasta. Tiramisu was also a perfect end to the meal, and they serve some good espresso to pair with it. I want to shout out GP in particular for being such a pleasant host. Thank you for the great wine suggestion, the conversations you had with myself and my fiancée. This spot can be trusted to have a great meal with friendly service in a fantastic pocket of the city.

Pretty good new Italian place. Friendly staff. Cozy vibe. They have 4-5 tables at the back. The downside is that the kitchen area is curtained off - not so visually pleasing. Their focaccia which I forgot to take pics was great with their house made prosciutto. Their food was overall salty. tartare was good, pasta was good but salty, pork belly was the best dish of the night but still salty. The Nobile salad was aight. Good wine selection though.

A hidden gem in the heart of the city! The cocktails are nothing short of exceptional – creative, perfectly balanced, and a true showcase of Andrea’s talent behind the bar. You can tell he puts real passion and skill into every drink, making each one a unique experience. The focaccia is absolutely divine – light, fluffy, and packed with fresh, flavorful ingredients. A perfect example of how simple things done right can be unforgettable. The atmosphere strikes a great balance between cozy and refined, and the service is warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. If you’re looking for quality, character, and a place that truly delivers on both food and drinks – this is it.

A bit overpriced for the quality and location. They charge $11 for a bottle of water, and the food itself was nothing special. On a Wednesday night, the place was nearly empty—which makes sense. With so many better options in the neighborhood, it's hard to justify the cost here.

A great experience overall, but the cocktails were extremely average (no bad aspects, but average) for the cost, which is basically on par with BarChef. Additionally, some of the plating left a little to be desired as some colour variety for dishes like the pastas and lamb would have been nice, just to break up the darker dishes. However, there are lots of good things! The restaurant is beautiful and calm, and the staff are absolutely amazing, providing impeccable service. Overall, a lovely place for a quiet date night or weekend kick-off for a small party!

We stopped by Lardo for a drink, and it was very pleasant. Nicolas, our server is knowledgeable and friendly. He knows his wine list and suggested the finest Rosè for us. We had a cheese plate complimentary, which was very generous, T.y. Lardo used to be a deli, and this past May 2024, it transformed into a restaurant. We had a tour and loved the layout. We will be back to try a meal on the menu. Everything looks fantastic.

I went out for dinner on Saturday night and we were served by a truly kind and professional Jhonny server He clearly knew his job very well and recommended an excellent wine that paired perfectly with our meal. We had some beautifully cooked meat, full of flavor and prepared to perfection. The service was outstanding, far above the level of the place, and it really made the whole experience special. This place is definitely worth trying it won’t disappoint. Be sure to ask for recommendations!

This was a great experience. Me and my boyfriend just had an amazing dinner at this restaurant. Food was amazing and service was one of the best in Toronto. Huge thank you to the servers that took care of us tonight

This is honestly the best Italian food I've eaten since coming back from a trip to Italy. It's the kind of food that I keep thinking about long after I've eaten there and tell my friends about it. All of the staff made the experience so special thank you for several memorable meals that I've had at your amazing restaurant

Wow, what a meal! We had a spectacular dinner last night at Lardo Tipico. From the first bite of the perfectly textured and seasoned focaccia, accompanied by an incredible bottle of Pinot Noir from northern Italy. we knew were in for a treat. The culinary adventure continued... a unique twist on burrata, with crunchy rosemary breadcrumbs, a beautiful tomato pasta, medallions of duck (with a juniper-berry glaze? so yummy), tender lamb (what was that divine sauce?), beautifully prepared vegetables and salad. And the best tiramisu ever! It was a truly memorable meal, the perfect match to a special family reunion. The owner, GP and his extremely talented chef, Liam, greeted us with warmth and genuine hospitality. You can tell they love what they do; and that shines through in every lovingly prepared dish.Thanks you --- we'll be back for sure!

This place has awesome assorted cold cut sandwiches, prosciutto, mortadella, you name it. Nice little shop with Italian products as well, grab and go type place with some hard to find things like top shelf Amaro and other nice things hard to find elsewhere. I hope they post accurate hours though. I went one day based when they open - wanted a while.
