About this restaurant

Charming
Neighborhood gem
Great for fine wines

Opened in 2011, Nora Gray is one of those perfect little restaurants that never gets old: cozy, warm with exceptional hospitality. Nora Gray serves traditional Italian fare using exclusively the best locally sourced and seasonal ingredients. Fresh handmade pasta, meats grilled over charcoal as well as an award winning wine program have kept Nora Gray one of the top restaurants in Canada for almost 15 years.

Why they're an Icon

Executive chef: Dmetro Sinclair

From the OpenTable editors: Southern Italian cooking and a lively, candle-lit ambiance make for a magical dining experience at Nora Gray. Like the setting, the food feels comforting yet polished, from an always-changing line-up of scratch-made pasta to hearty entrees like Berkshire pork shoulder with rapini. While wine is a classic choice for this soulful fare, the inventive cocktails also stand out.

I did notice there was an odour throughout the restaurant the whole time. Since I have a sensitive nose I chalked it up to my sensitivity but I asked another person in my party and they said they could also smell the smell. It was like really bad breath or kind of like a sewer. I didn’t want to make anyone uncomfortable in the moment so I decided not to say anything. I was also informed that the bill could be split based on each couple since it was a confirmed $100 per person. My mother in law ended up paying the whole bill and I was hoping to avoid that. Overall menu was nice but the smell of the venue and the reluctance to split the bill will not bring me back

Je suis déjà venu ici, je ne sais pas ce qui se passe, mais nous sommes partis déçus. Le service et la salade étaient les seules qualités rédemptrices. Bien sûr, leur carte des vins est incroyable… les suggestions d'appariement n'ont pas été données. Mais la qualité doit être meilleure. Let me be clear. The pasta could have been amazing. It had the potential to be, in the shape of a bonbon. Crafty. However, the sauce.. was.. a complete failure. Fusion of staff knowledge, front of house and kitchen needs improvement. Don’t you have a sommelier?
