“ You might have guessed that Aperitivo is all about small, appetizer sized portions designed for sharing. There's a bit more to this establishment. I have dined here three times and the menu is dynamic, changing with the season or, perhaps more frequently. Everything I have tasted is delicious and elegantly plated. Don't expect football player sized portions. Yesterday (Thursday night), 4 appetizers and 3 mini tacos were perfect portions for 3 adults. We all enjoyed the variety of flavors. I got distracted by the food and forgot to take a photo until most was eaten:) The venu is small with seating inside and a covered patio. Service is punctual and personal. The kitchen is only separated from the dining area with a counter and everything is spotless. The two unisex washrooms are the cleanest I have seen in the city. I think the prices are very reasonable for the dining experience and less than you would spend at a Steakhouse. This restaurant is perfect for impressing a date, entertaining a client or just a special night out. They have a comprehensive selection of spirits and wines which, I feel, is well curated (quality over quantity). I recommend you make a reservation due to limited seating. ”

“ I have dined here twice so far and I just can't find the words to express how much I love eating here. The freshness and flavors of the food are amazing. The style of dining with smaller portioned shared plates made it possible to sample so many different flavors. Each plate arrives in courses so just as we finished one plate, another would arrive. The menu changes regularly so you get to experience something new almost every time. The food is prepared within your sight line which personally gives me the extra comfort of seeing the cleanliness of where my food is prepared. (I'm sure I've watched too many episodes of Kitchen Nightmares. Lol). It is wonderful to see the chefs work their magic. I highly recommend dining here. ”

“ I’m a foodie. Been to many a good restaurant. This is one of the best restaurants I’ve ever been to in my life. Delicious, beautiful, creative hand made food. Service is top notch. I felt we were family. Very cool space. Cocktails and wine! Do yourself a favour and take the drive to Kanata. ”

“ A gem that one should all come and dine at. If you love small plates, mouth watering dishes, knowledgeable pleasant staff, great ambience and intimate settings then you MUST come here. I came here with another friend and we loved the evening. There is nothing to say negative about this place. We were greeted as soon as we entered and attended to immediately. The food came out in stages that weren’t rushed so we got to enjoy each plate at our own time. Great food and great prices! ”

“ Delicious small (and sometimes large) sharing plates. Good variety of seasonal offerings both for food and drink. Staff are super friendly and helpful with any questions you may have. Not the biggest place, counted 12 tables and the bar, more room in the summer with the patio so would recommend a reservation when possible. Will definitely be back, looking forward to a spring and summer menu. ”

“ We had this restaurant on the list for years and tonight we finally enjoyed the sharing plates dinner menu. The foccacia and pomme aligot were to die for, both had elements of traditional and unique. Everything was extremely fresh. We felt like we ate quite a bit and didn't feel stuffed on the way out, excellent quality food for the price. Cardamom cake was light and full flavoured. ”

“ My husband and I have become regulars here and it is because everything is always incredible - whether it’s the amazing dishes, or the warm and attentive service - all of it is always a 5 star experience for us. We love the seasonal menu changes, and every menu they curate is always something special. This place is a gem! Simply put, we adore it. ”

“ One of the best overall meals I have had in a long time. The fried eggplant starter was amazing. Perfect amount of breading and crisp with a fantastic sauce to compliment. The branzino was prepared very well. The artichokes and other veggies were cooked to perfection. Finally, the pumpkin donut trio was cooked to order and came out very warm. The drinks were tasty as well (grove hibiscus). Will definitely return when I’m back in the area. Service was top notch as well! ”
