Ardo Restaurant

Braised short rib was my favourite, melt in your mouth soft, the cannoli was also amazing. Service was outstanding, our server Meghan made great recommendations and we enjoyed every dish/drink she suggested. We will be going back often! Reasonable prices for great food.

Pleasant, lively, chattery atmosphere. Kind and accommodating staff. The food was great! I tried a selection of their dishes and a few stood out to me. Their chick pea fritters appetizer is one of the best things on their menu. So light, satisfyingly crispy, and the unique chick pea taste makes these little crisps more addicting than your favorite french fries. Their gnocchi is spectacular. Each bite was so smooth and satisfying. Their cannoli is simply perfect. Everything you expect and more. Their absolute best item is the cream with candied lemon and fennel (not sure of its proper name). It is irresistible, such a smooth and elegant taste. I could eat tubs of it. The prices are slightly above my style of eatery, and their other dishes can be average. However they have many dishes which make the entire experience worth it. Overall, a pleasant experience!

Family run restaurant? Check. Authentic Italian? Check. Astonishingly deep wine list? Check. Sublime and sensationally presented plates? Check. Warm and friendly room and atmosphere?Check. Best cannoli you will EVER have this side of Naples? Check. We dined at Ardo a few weeks ago - and are going back soon - and we still look at each other with a stupid grin and go ‘damn that was a tremendous dining experience!” Sig other had the braised short rib and - I kid you not, she may have experienced a low level orgasm, it was that good. Just deep well seasoned flavor and unctuous-ness. I had the daily fish special and I can say I left the plate as clean as the moment before they plated it. Meaty flavorful sustainable Northwest Territories whitefish with golden beets. I think I passed out temporarily from the umami of crisp fish skin and the soft flaky texture and taste. Honestly, it’s going up on the list of top 10 meals. And I’m already wetting myself with excitement about going back again this week. I cannot wait. Edit: back again and braised beef and squid ink pasta in the back alley outdoor patio. Couple glasses Nero d’Avola, finished with cannoli and dreamy creamy pannacotta
