Bar Vendetta distinguishes itself in a space that had previously been a fairly iconic restaurant, The Black Hoof, with a beautiful (and imposing) Douglas fir ‘glass canopy’ and a completely different, 70s colour scheme, modelled (very loosely) on Jen's teen basement bedroom in Scarborough. Nothing says 70s like brown, orange and cream! We didn’t want it to scream ‘Italian restaurant’ because frankly it’s only Italian-ish, using the philosophies of Italian cooking with locally available ingredients and a strong devotion to seasonality. Our pastas all made in house, by long-time chef, Annalisa Latavo and our front of house team is simply a dream! The sort of secret treehouse-feeling back patio is hugely popular in the summer, but we think of it as the perfect restaurant for a colder evening, cozy for tucking into a beautiful plate of pasta, with one of your favourite songs playing while you have a very nice Italian red.

    John was an excellent server, and the food was delicious. I'd love to return and check out the patio when the weather warms up.

    I had a wonderful dinner date at Bar Vendetta last night. The service was excellent—the staff was incredibly kind and attentive throughout the evening. Our food arrived at the perfect pace, allowing us to enjoy each dish without feeling rushed. Although we didn’t get to try the cocktails, the pasta and small plates were outstanding, with just the right balance of flavors and seasoning. The ambiance was fantastic—from the beautifully decorated walls to the cozy seating, every detail added to the experience. The only thing that could be improved is the music selection, which didn’t quite enhance the atmosphere as much as it could. A more curated playlist could elevate the mood even further. Overall, it's a great spot for a date or a night out, and I’d definitely come back!

    Great dining experience staff was so friendly went on Monday which is happy hour so oysters were a steal at $2 a pop and they were amazing. Lus Basicly half prices drinks all night. Highly recommend, the food was very good not top tier but very good. And the mains are fairly priced but maybe a bit bigger portions for the price. But all in all it was great experience highly recommend.

    This restaurant is so authentically Spanish! The ambiance is cozy, and the menu is everything you’d expect from traditional Spanish food and drinks, not to mention the food was so delicious. Our waiter was absolutely wonderful, he was so sweet, gave great recommendations that did not disappoint and even gave us a complimentary treat at the end which added to such a great experience! Great place for date night.
