Everything was wonderful! We’ve previously visited ARDO Restaurant, and were not disappointed with Bar ARDO. Service, ambiance, and food all set a great tone for a date night. Thank you!

Amano was amazing! The ambiance was very cool. It was pretty crowded but our server was attentive throughout the meal. And most importantly, the food was wonderful! We got the arancini and focaccia appetizers to share, I got the mushroom tagliatelle and my husband got the braised short rib entree, and we finished with the tiramisu and pumpkin panna cotta for dessert. We loved everything and didn’t feel ridiculously full when we left. We will definitely go back next time we’re in Toronto!

The occasion of this visit was a pre-Christmas lunch with some colleagues and friends. There were four of us. Two of us had the veal special, one the veal parmigana, and the fourth had the chicken. We shared a sampling of appetizers including the carpaccio - a favorite of mine. Everything was excellent. In fact, over the years that I've dined at Carisma, I have never had anything less than an excellent meal. The service always complements the food in quality. Looking forward to my next visit, in 2025.

We had heard about Piano Piano, but for some reason we had never tried it. We realized quickly that we should’ve come by sooner, because it was amazing. We dined in their basement area, where the vibes were incredible. The food was absolutely delicious, and the service was excellent as well. Would definitely recommend coming
