Our second time at Ascari. This time we sat at the bar and had a wonderful experience. Patrick served up some truly delicious cocktails and provided unparalleled service and company. The food was delicious and the atmosphere and energy in the restaurant was very enjoyable. Will definitely return.

Thursday November 21. The food was very good and service was attentive. When the restaurant was full, the noise level made hearing our group's conversation difficult.

Literally always an amazing dinner at ascari. The food, service is just top notch. I’m so lucky it’s in our neighbourhood - and we say to each other every time we go it gets better somehow. 10/10 best spot in Leslieville!
