A Northern Italian kitchen inspired by the Bacari of Venice
Our menu is inspired by tradition and dictated by the quality and availability of ingredients. We play off the similarities between the climates of Eastern Ontario and Northeast Italy, and create our take on classic dishes made with seasonal game, seafood and vegetables. Plus, sometimes we’ll just add whatever we want.

    The staff were all very attentive and explained the Italian names and dishes well although the noise level was quite high making it difficult to hear them. We shared three delicious antipasti to start, house-cured duck and figs, Le Coprin mushrooms in soar and scallops crudo & cucumber foam along with their own ciabatta. Then as per staff's recommendation we each ordered a second course each. The corzetti in salsa rossa was so wonderful I'd order it again. The bigoli & salsa was also delicious and the special pasta of the night, the scarpinocc, small shoe-shaped little pasta, like little dumplings filled with balsamic were also a great treat. We were seated away from the windows so it was a little dark to see our beautiful meal but it would be perfect for the romantic ambiance of other diners. All in all a great first experience of northern Italy's cuisine!

    Our meal was absolutely amazing! We didn’t know what to expect as it was our first time here, but we were blown away. It wasn’t just a meal, it was an experience. Ellen, our hostess, was wonderful. Her choice for our wine pairing with our entrées was sheer perfection! The June menu held very interesting choices I must say. She also contributed to our enjoyment of our whole culinary experience! Highly recommend!!

    Incredibly thoughtful and tasty food. Had Polpette (best ever had), Gnochi with Pesto, and Tournedos Rossini. Service was terrific and I will be back to visit North and Navy again! It's not inexpensive but is worth the money.

    We had the best meal at North and Navy. Everything was amazing from the service, the seating, the food and the ambience. We were lucky enough to sit overlooking the kitchen which was such a fun experience. The amount of detail that goes into cooking and plating the food was quite the event to witness. The food was immaculate. Every dish was worth eating again (which we will by the way).

    My husband and I had booked a table for 2 outdoors. The table was small but it was sufficient. The outdoor ambience was really nice. When the evening temperature started to get cooler, they lit a heater for us and there were blankets for our use. It started to rain and they were able to move us indoors. The food was delicious and our server was very attentive. Great experience overall.

    Amazing food and winr list. Lovely old home. I was especially intrigued by the upper level dining room, which sports reclaimed church light fixtures. We sat on the patio which is nice but it could use a bit of work.

    Food, service, and decor were all as good as it gets! I'd go back regularly if I could afford it. The only minor complaint I have: the cutlery. The vintage cutlery was tarnished and the knife I was given was slightly bent and couldn't cut a thin slice of pickled rutabaga without a lot of "muscle".

    A completely unique dining experience. Most of the items on the menu are unique to North & Navy. Everything was full of flavor and unlike anything we previously tasted. It was all so good and enjoyable. In addition to appetizers and mains, the bread is outstanding and a meal by itself. We went celebrating our wedding anniversary and definitely felt like it was a true celebration with a very special meal. Service provided by Shameen and Dan was exceptional. They both provided a very warm and welcoming experience to an overall extraordinary experience.
