    I had an amazing experience last night at Bar Prima. I've been dying to go for the longest time, and it did not disappoint. Jarred took great care of us. In fact, the whole staff was super nice and very attentive. Iain runs a tight ship. The food was well executed, tasted amazing, and looked super sexy. The wine I had was a great find, but now I can't remember the grape. Of course, the decor and ambience is fire. It is perfectly lit and nicely spaced out compared to most cramped places today. We felt well taken care of and I can't wait to go back and my 2nd choices. Oh, and the agnolotti is a MUST. Thanks to everyone for a great night.

    Armonia Armonia is truly a fitting name for this rustic Italian Pasta Bar on Queen West. When you walk in, you’re greeted by the front ‘Chiosco Bar’, open for tasty finger foods and late night snacks. As you walk toward the main dining room, you feel like you’ve been transported to a cozy dining room on the outskirts of a small town in the South of Italy. It feels like home. The food is where the magic of Armonia takes place. Each dish is cultivated for balance and harmony, setting your tastebuds off on an adventure. We tried a variety of dishes that were personally recommended and paired with a tasty wine from Abruzzo. Starting with the freshly marinated antipasto and the radicchio with gorgonzola, each plate was a new experience of perfectly balanced flavour. Admittedly, each plate took the place as my new favourite dish, all the way to the grand finale, the frutti di mare risotto. I am still drooling over the fragrant, uplifting citrus mixed with the smokiness of the grilled prawns. The pasta e fagioli brought back memories of Nonna’s cooking, a feat that is not easy to achieve. The linguine bolognese was rich and the sugo was deep and developed. Many thanks to Armonia Pasta Bar for a memorable meal. We cannot wait to return!
