Price: Expensive
• Contemporary Canadian • Little Portugal / Dundas West
Booked 27 times today
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.

    Loved Linny’s! I highly recommend. We were delighted with our dining experience at Linny’s last night. The food, service and ambiance were exceptional. Very cool vibe. We had the porterhouse and it was delicious. Also, the shake and bake chicken was wonderful. All in all, we had a great time and look forward to returning. Thank you.

    4 of us dined at 8pm on a friday night, great service and it was a fun vibe (not too noisy, cosy and funky decor). We had the tasting menu and it was plentiful, delicious and such a bargain! Bao, charcoal plate and krispie treats were the highlights. I wasn't loving my first mocktail and they kindly replaced it - highly recommend the Red Mystique if you enjoy something on the sweeter side. Can't wait to dine again!

    Beautiful quaint place with the best tacos I ever had. The grilled pineapples along with the chicken on the soft taco shell was absolutely divine. The churros left an unpleasant after taste in the palate. We thought they’d be a show however it didn’t happen nor were we made aware earlier. All in all a good culinary experience
