    Came here to celebrate my partners birthday! We had a great time. Everyone was so friendly and helped us out with getting seated. I love how cozy the restaurant felt and that their menu has amazing options! I had the elderflower martini to drink and it was one of my favourites! We had the Caesar salad and the bruschetta to share. Caesar salad was great and the focaccia for the bruschetta was so soft! For mains I had the cremini rigatoni which was soo good and creamy! Our server was amazing. Everyone was so friendly and helpful. Our tiramisu at the end was the perfect touch to a perfect night! I also signed up for points every time I eat out here! I will definitely be back! Thanks everyone for a special night! ☺️

    Fabulous dinner at La Bartola for my vegan son’s 25th birthday. Excellent professional service by Santana. We had the tastings menu 7 courses - fun way to experience the food. They kindly put a candle in my son’s dessert and brought him a free celebratory glass of sparkling wine without being asked. They also rescheduled our dinner with no problem to a different day with less than 24 hours notice when my son’s flight home was cancelled. All staff and ambience are very charming.

    I had lived in Toronto for many years before moving away from the city. Had to come in a few days for work and decided to visit DaiLo with a friend. Why did I rob myself of this experience for so long? The food was 5-star! We ordered the wontons, pork hock, tacos, and the smoked duck. Every dish hit its mark perfectly with well-balanced flavors. The ambience of the restaurant is very nice and it isn't a place that packs restaurant goers elbow to elbow. Lastly, the service provided by the staff rivals the quality of the food.
