  • Great for creative cocktails
  • Good for special occasions
  • Neighbourhood gem
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 is an absolute gem for anyone who appreciates authentic Sicilian flavors and impeccable hospitality. The red wild shrimp and raw scallops were nothing short of exceptional—fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The rigatoni was equally delightful, perfectly cooked and rich with taste. The service was impeccable, attentive without being overbearing, and the evening was made even more special when Chef Roberto Marotta himself took the time to visit our table and chat with us. This personal touch elevated the experience, showcasing the passion and dedication behind the cuisine. Bar ARDO offers a dining experience that’s both memorable and heartfelt. I can’t wait to return!

    Except for the breadcrumbed mushrooms all food was fantastic. The service was good, even though the restaurant was full. Cocktail (Negronis) were great. The price is fair for the quality of the food. The restaurant is very loud, be prepared.

    I love Bar Ado-it’s steps from my condo. Food, service, ambiance, vibe are all great. The music during dinner is too loud for me. I will keep going, but earlier in the day before music is turned up. Thanks!

    Great service, wine and food! I went for my birthday dinner and the chef came out and welcome us. The ambience was perfect for a Saturday night dinner.
