We had an amazing hot and fresh dinner with options that the kids loved. From the pasta to the pizza - there wasn’t a bad choice on the menu. The drinks were great as well.

I had a wonderful experience at this restaurant! The atmosphere is beautiful, the food is absolutely delicious, and the service is fantastic. I went on the recommendation of a friend, and it was definitely worth it. Highly recommend!

we were excited to try this place because of its high reviews. unfortunately we weren’t blown away by its food. pappardelle wasn’t al dente and the tiramisu was spongy and lacked espresso taste. service was excellent and drinks were great too. but having a close to soggy pasta is a huge turn off from an italian place.

Great for a nice dinner out with high quality food. Modern take on italian cuisine. Everything was delicious.

Came here with a friend for a girls night dinner. This is the second time coming to this location. I have been to Nodo (different locations) many times, and Nodo has always been amazing, however this location is exceptional. We were served by Katherine. She is honestly terrific and has tons of energy. We started with the Arancini Siciliani balls. Honestly, it was so good. The crispy rice balls just melt in your mouth and has tons of flavours with the ragu and peas. For our mains, I got the Rigatoni /// Trinacria (Garlic-Blitzed Cherry Tomato and Zucchini, Basil, Smoked Mozzarella, finished with fresh arugula, shaved ricotta salata) and my friend got the Gnocchi (New School) /// Crema Tartufata Funghi E Mais (Homemade pan-seared potato gnocchi, wild mushroom, corn, truffle-garlic ‘crema’, padano, diced tri-colour peppers). I’ve always gotten the Pappardelle Ai Funghi (Rich Wild Mushroom Raghu, Parmigiano) usually, however I thought I would try something new and I decided on the Rigatoni /// Trinacria. Katherine said the rigatoni was one of her favourites as it was very flavourful but also very light. I was truly satisfied with my decision as the pasta was not too heavy and had fresh flavours from the arugula, tomatoes, and grilled zucchini. The gnocchi was delicious as well. The corn adds a hint of sweetness to it! After that, we had some tea and my friend and I talked for an hour or so. Katherine consistently came to check on us. She helped pour water to top up our cups as well. We did not realize what the time was and we forgot they close at 10pm, however we did not feel rushed. Eventually at 9:50pm Katherine came to ask if we needed anything else and said she was not rushing us at all, but we felt bad that we stayed for so long. She was happy to split our bills in half. Katherine was wonderful and super patient. She made the experience at Nodo so much better and we really enjoyed her service. Thank you again, Katherine! We will definitely come back.

The restaurant is welcoming and cozy inside. The service and food were both excellent. The lamb skewers were flavourful and juicy. The arancini came out super hot with meat and cheese inside, not only tasty but quite a substantial appetizer. The grilled octopus was nicely presented. The tenderness of the octopus contrasted very well with the crispness of the outside of the purple roasted potatoes. The tiramisu was amazing, super light. I would say a must-order item there. Planning on going back!

Me and my friend tried this new restaurant near our house, and it was really good. The staff is friendly, and the atmosphere is cozy. Also, the food is so delicious. The music is nice and not too loud like in many other restaurants.
