Best Contemporary Italian Restaurants in Jefferson Park

What a lovely trattoria. Great service from maitre’ d Seth, my server Alane and her support team. The food was excellent, gnocchi and polenta stole my heart as well as the authentic and mouthwatering puntarelle insalata. Approachable in all areas for the casual diner to the elegant wine savant. 10/10.

It was a fantastic experience. We sat upstairs in a little room. Cozy atmosphere. The food and drinks were fantastic. Highly recommended.

We were a large party of 9. We were welcomed and seated immediately. Drinks and food came out fast. The staff was so patient with us taking our time to decided between multiple amazingly sounding foods. When the food came out, it was off the charts amazing. I frequent the Holly St location of this establishment and have never been disappointed so I had similar expectations here and it was everything I expected. The rest of party had never been before and they were raving about the food and asking to come back. We will definitely be back.

The service and ambience were amazing! We have appetizers, 4 pasta and the pork chop shared between 4 adults which worked out perfect. The food was excellent noting the Cavatelli (Ragu) I think is the best in the city. Thanks Bar Dough for a memorable experience.

It was our second visit and it was just as wonderful. The staff is knowledgeable and friendly. The ambience takes you back in time with their touch of old school class. The barware they’ve chosen, white tablecloths, dark walls. This is not a place where you are competing with the noise of an open kitchen and music that is too loud. Just the right amount of sound coming from conversation and eating utensils hitting the plate. Prices are right and the food is excellent. It’s not a big menu but we hope to try everything at some point!
