   We have been driving by this place for years and finally made it for a date night. The service was pleasant and swift and the food was delicious. It was presented beautifully. The plates of pasta are on the small side but the ingredient quality and taste is amazing. I’d go so far as to say this is one of the best Italian joints in the East End.

   The pasta and the desserts were really tasty, but both two main dishes were subpar. Between Ascari Enoteca and what you can get at other restaurants, for example, Enoteca Sociale, I'd choose the latter. It's not worth the price. However, the ambient and staff are all amazing!

   Ascari Leslieville is beyond delicious . Great service great food , wine and ambiance. One of our favourite neighbourhood spots - highly recommend . They even have a little shop a few doors down where you can buy all sorts of yummy stuff including wine to make your own delicious meal.

   Decent meal, nothing exceptional. Fresh pasta was great. Focaccia could have come OO/vinegar or some butter. Had to ask for pepper amd chilli peppers. These things should be a given to offer.

   My daughter and I had a spectacular time at Ascari tonight. Chef Pete's flavors, presentation, and overall presence at the table were perfect; a real talent. Also ken's service was exceptional. It's been a rough time for my daughter and I the last couple months, but thank you for giving us a break from the rigors of life. You have a great team and can't wait to come back. Toronto is lucky to have this group of restauranteurs

    My go-to for a delicious dinner whether a special occasion or a casual date night. This is what quality italian cuisine looks and tastes like-inventive but also timeless. I always appreciate the warmth of the staff and their excellent wine recommendations! Thank you for a perfect birthday dinner. I will be back!

    Smaller menu but that’s not a bad thing. Shared the ragu and focaccia, it was good and the pasta was fresh. Drinks were a bit watery (more spritzy) but service was wonderful. Tight seating between tables, especially near the front.

    Upon arrival we were immediately pushed to order. After 34 minutes we had ordered appetizers and $120 bottle of red. The server must have come over 4 times asking to order the mains. With a 2 hour time limit (sufficient enough) they rushed our entire dinner. Agnolotti was totally undercooked (and not an Aldente way). The server dropped the dessert menu and said you have 30 minutes till the next table arrives. The next table arrived 15 minutes early and staff just couldn’t wait to get us out. We are left feeling absolutely distasteful with this restaurant. The food is mediocre and staff does not provide a dining experience. Seafood Crudo was insanely fishy, Arancini balls barely had anything inside of it. Will not return to this local neighbourhood restaurant unfortunately.

    I thought the food was underwhelming and for the price point, the portions were on the small side. The dessert torte was fantastic! Overall, for me, I won’t return. However, I left the server a good tip because these are issues for the owner to address. 🙏🏽

    Best pasta in Toronto, especially now that it’s previous competitor is currently run by a hedge fund instead of a chef. Yeah I said it! The crown is all Ascari’s.

    Best restaurant meal we've had in several years! A very small menu, but every dish is selected and executed with care and love. In particular the pasta Carbonara was a revelation -- the chef used homemade guanciale and percorino instead of the bacon and parmesan we normally see in this dish.

    This might have been the best carbonara I’ve ever had in Toronto! Our waiter was friendly and informative. I love when the staff knows about the menu and has personally tried it all. The white vermouth spritz was also delicious! If I lived in the area this would definitely be a regular spot!

    We were served by the coolest and nicest guy possible, I didn't manage to get his name, but we made sure to give a good tip. Food was great, the carabonara, the bread and the brocolinni specifically were AMAZING. Please do yourself a favor and order the brocolinni, it's absolutely amazing.

    Stopped here for dinner on my solo trip to TO and was not disappointed! I sat at the bar and was served by, Sam. She was delightful! Super personable, very knowledgeable about wine pairings, and she provided food recommendations. The entire experience was amazing. Great food, great atmosphere, great cocktails.

    Appetizers and fritti were substantial and well executed. Pastas were very good. The osso bucco was fine but nothing to write home about. Depth and complexity of flavour were lacking. Excellent service and ambiance.
