About this restaurant

Neighbourhood gem
Good for special occasions
Charming

An intimate affair, with a menu of pasta and small plates to share, an all-Italian wine list of much-loved and lesser-known varietals, and an essential collection of cocktails, grappa and amari to start, finish and make the most of the afternoon and evening.

Reservations are available for lunch from 11 am to 3 pm daily, followed by a limited aperitivo menu from 3 pm to 5 pm. Dinner is served from 5 pm to 10 pm every night. Please note, we are unable to accommodate outside food in the restaurant, including birthday cakes. We look forward to breaking bread with you!

La Tana is my go to restaurant. The food, service, and ambience are always outstanding. Perfect for sharing with a small group of friends. As a group of 4, we shared 2 appies and 4 pastas. We each had a favourite, but all were delicious. I especially loved the pasta that looked like wrapped candy with a browned sage sauce...I think. Can't wait to come again. My only small issue is that the noise level is high. Come early or later if you want a quieter dining experience.
