    We recently had dinner at Nola and it was wonderful! The food is delicious, especially the pasta which is made in-house, and the mushroom croquettes are memorable. Service is excellent and the ambience very welcoming. It was our first time dining at Nola and we highly recommend it and will definitely return!

    Fantastic experience!! It was after the rush on Sunday, so we had an opportunity to talk to the fabulous staff about the history of the restaurant and the menu. (The liver pate brule was one of the BEST liver pates I have ever had at such a reasonable price point!) Our server was knowledgeable friendly and very efficient. The other staff members were warm and charming; the owner of the restaurant even made my daughter a waffle birthday cake which we so appreciated! The place has a warm and intimate vibe to it, we will definitely go again!

    This is one of my favorite restaurants in Toronto. Everything is just perfect. The service is friendly and professional, the atmosphere is delightful, and most importantly the food is amazing. I highly recommend the Beef Tartare.
