  • Great for creative cocktails
  • Neighbourhood gem
  • Charming
The latest addition of the celebrated ARDO Hospitality Group led by co-owners, Sicilian-born Chef Roberto Marotta and Jacqueline Nicosia, Bar ARDO is for the discerning and culinary curious without ever being pretentious. It’s the place you can meet friends for a casual, authentic aperitivo that turns into dinner. It’s an expression of serendipity when a memorable night just happens but feels fated.

Offering an array of small plates for convivial cocktail hour to generously portioned shareable dishes for leisurely repasts, the dining experience is punctuated by a curated selection of Old and New World wines, along with an innovative selection of signature cocktails, like the Carla Carla – an ocean infused martini elevated with caviar, alongside an exceptional assortment of non-alcoholic libations like the perfectly balanced Dry Pina which includes charred pineapple, pink peppercorn and a touch of chili.

    Bar Ardo never disappoints! Great selection of appetizers and main courses - service is top notch and there is a good vibe and atmosphere but you can hear each other talk. Will be back soon!

    Overall the experience wasn't worth its price, the service was subpar, the food was bland (at least the linguine I ordered was), and the wait was unusually long for a restaurant that was only half full at the time. We can never get our waitress when we need her, she is always nowhere to be found.

    Most of the food was excellent. Particularly enjoyed the branzino & meat ravioli specials & the tiramisu (which we’re usually not fans of).

    Dined here as a treat to my mother who was visiting me in the city. Cocktails were very good, food was amazing and the service was outstanding! We went around 6:30pm on a Friday and there were only 4-5 other tables with people; we had a quiet and enjoyable dinner. Definitely recommend this place!

    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!
