Vendetta - Toronto

Came here to celebrate my birthday on a Sunday night for dinner. We were seated on the back covered patio which had a nice ambiance, however a bit tight for my preference. Make sure to make a reservation if coming here over the weekend, as we made a last minute reservation for 9 PM and it was still packed when we came.I got the Glitterball cocktail to drink, which was refreshing but I do wish it was a bit sweeter.We got the beef carpaccio and burrata with a side of focaccia to start. The standout was definitely the focaccia, I would’ve been happy eating this alone.Forgot to take photos but for our mains we got the crown cacio e pepe and rigatoni. The quality of the pasta itself was really good, but we found the rigatoni a bit salty and the cacio e pepe just needed a bit more lemon.

Very popular restaurant in Little Italy. It gets busy around 7pm so reserve ahead if you can. The food is pretty good, I’d recommend their cheesy garlic bread and pasta, especially if it’s stuffed pasta. I didn’t like the crudo that much, it was like a deconstructed salmon bagel — was lacking creativity.

The food was really good. Highly recommend cheesy garlic bread if you like cheese! The meat ball and the pasta were delicious. I would expect some more citrus in the crudo scallops. The food was excellent overall. I'll go back for sure!

My cocktail was mediocre. Some of the food items we ordered were good. However, our server made us feel rushed and generally unwelcome. Our server handed us our bill at the exact same time as the debit machine so we couldn’t even look at it. When I emailed them about this, they apologized but were defensive and claimed their service style was “laid back”. There are many great restaurants in the city, no need to go back to this one I’m afraid.

Cool place for apps and drinks, service was great, totally forgettable pasta.The cacio e pepe might be the worst execution I've eaten. Flavour was good, but my God... why was it served in a strip of uncooked lasagna that's been pinched into a giant tortellini? Wet, soggy mess of sauce.The rigatoni tasted like the smell of the St Lawrence fish market. In a word, embarrassing.
