We ordered spaghetti and anchovy pizza there. So disappointed with the food. The tomato sauce is fresh, however the meatball is not only small but not fresh, the pizza is burnt and too salty. I don't want to waste the food so I just eat them, but I will never ordered these dishes again for sure.
P.S: my boyfriend has a stomach ache after eating at this restaurant half an hour. 😔

Isabel is amazing! She is part of the reason we went back to NODO again l. That initial experience she provided from our first visit last summer (2024) was great. She was knowledgeable about the menu and drinks. She recommended the duck ragu (not a big duck eater) but so glad we listened to her. We are always happy to have as our server. Thank you for providing a consistent experience!

Visited recently as a family of four. My wife had the gnocchi, which was lovely. I think I made a poor choice with the ravioli, which, although cooked well, didn't pack a lot lot of flavour.

Our visit was soured slightly by the pizza "chef" not being able to accommodate a fairly simple pizza request for the kids (essentially to add one topping to one half of the pizza). I found this rather odd, and I came away from the restaurant feeling disappointed with our experience.

Delicious fresh pasta and pizza at Nodo. The truffle gnocchi was so good, the duck pappardelle was perfectly cooked, and the pizza was delicious.

All dishes were generous portions. The outdoor patio is fantastic, with a great vibe. Our host, Sophie, was friendly and made our visit enjoyable. I recommend this place for family and friends’ gatherings.

Attended a private function this weekend - a Bridal shower, we are on the second floor, very spacious, rustic brick wall, with antique mirrors design. The tables and chairs are nicely placed with center table act as center piece/dessert table.

The food was delicious and generous portions were served. We are to choose our mains out of fish, chicken or short ribs. I am a lover of anything beef, so short ribs it is. As the foods were served, my friends gave me a piece of their dish and they were all very good. But my short ribs wete the BEST! It was hefty and super duper tender! I would go back just for that.

We had threemain servers at the space and they were very friendly and attentive, offering up champagne and rose at all times to make sure our cups are never empty. All in all we had alot of fun, and felt the space was private enough for us to mingle and enjoy yourself with minimal interruption.

So based in service and food. I will be a returning customer! Thank you Nodo!

I had an incredible experience here! This was my second time here, it was for my surprise birthday dinner and everyone had such a great experience. First, our server was incredible, very accommodating and she went out of her way to meet dietary needs of all the guests. Second, the food was exemplary! Genuinely 11/10 and the focaccia was the best I’ve ever had.

We were 6 family members celebrating a birthday. It was our first time at Nodo Leslieville. Both the food and service were 5 star all the way. Lovely, friendly staff and delicious pastas. Loved the atmosphere. It does not feel too crowded or noisy. I believe that our server's name was Isabelle(?). She was terrific.

We had dinner here as 2 couples. This is a small intimate Italian restaurant with great authentic food. Wine list reasonably priced and regionally well represented. Cocktail offerings quite limited. All dishes we had were very tasty and of good proportion . The only drawback , as noted by others was the loudness of the ambient music which interferes with normal conversation- cannot understand why it must be played so loud and unfortunately would lead us to reconsider returning

Timing of the food was perfect - kale and brussels slaw was fresh and crisply. The beef cheek was tender and the orecchiette pasta was also delicious. I’m not a huge fan of spicy food but this pasta dish had just enough chili for me. The only thumbs down to our evening was the loud music. This took away from the service and delight of our dining experience. I’m afraid the music catered more to the staff, hence the 3 star rating.

We love everything about this place! Great space with wonderful staff. The food is so yummy, and the menu is huge!
