    Fantastic Valentine 💌 dinner!! Their 4 course set menu was amazing. Loved the perfectly cooked, crispy skin branzino and the beautiful, melt in your mouth gnocchi (best gnocchi I’ve ever had!!). Great wines by the glass to pair with your courses. The chocolate toffee pudding was sublime.

    Just a casual get together with friends, chanced upon the Ascarilicious menu, which was great value for a 3 course meal. Recommended wine pairing also came at a great price. Service was attentive and timely, and the food was excellent.

    The brussel sprouts were divine, and the agnolotti were incredible. The service was top-notch as always

    Very cozy but amazing food and service. Minor annoyance on sitting arrangements as dinner was booked on Open but restaurant did not have table ready. Overall great location and always busy.

    Food was okay, arancinis were excellent, but service left us really disappointed. We haven’t even been offered a coat check - that on a -15C night. Our server made us feel like he was doing us a favour by serving us, it was really impersonal. Wouldn’t come back.

    I haven't eaten at Ascari in quite a while but last night proved that this restaurant continues as one of the best in the east end. The dinner was delicious and our server friendly and very helpful. Great dinner!
