About

Il Bazzali presents a focused menu centered on the technical preparation of authentic Italian pasta dishes and hand-stretched pizzas. The kitchen prioritizes traditional techniques to create firm, perfectly textured doughs alongside rich, slow-simmered sauces. Every plate emphasizes the structural balance between artisanal flour, imported cheeses, and fresh aromatic herbs. The physical space features an open layout that prioritizes communal interaction while maintaining a standard level of functional comfort. Patrons encounter a direct focus on core regional flavor profiles that avoid unnecessary culinary fusion or contemporary over-complication. This establishment maintains a straightforward operational philosophy, ensuring that the consistency of basic ingredients remains the primary driver of each served item. The environment supports a focus on ingredient quality through a simplified, utilitarian approach to the classic Mediterranean culinary framework used for every preparation.

I visited this Italian restaurant about two weeks ago & tried their "MTL à Table" discovery menu, which featured only pasta as the main course. I'd rate the food 4 out of 5 stars-it was very good, but compared to other Italian restaurants I've tried, it didn't quite stand out as much. That said, the pizza here seems very popular, & I'd be interested in coming back to give it a try. The ambiance was great, & the staff were friendly & attentive, making it a nice spot to enjoy a meal. I'd recommend this place for the overall experience, especially if you're in the mood for a cozy atmosphere & welcoming service.

Very nice service with pleasant atmosphere! Opera singing was quite an experience! But I expected more from the food & it didn't deliver. Arancini was delicious. The amount of Pastaa was generous, but the amount of Parmigiano was not matching. Lardon was overcooked. I was open to try, but I didn't like the caramelized onion mixed with the pasta.

An amazing place for a date! The food was great (we had pasta with salmon & carbonara), the service was amazing, & the chef went out to sing opera for us, & then stopped by our table to inquire about our experience. We felt valued & appreciated & will definitely come back ❤️

Bon service, ambiance accueillante. Plats délicieux : j'ai pris la suggestion de pasta à la ricotta / épinard : un délice !!! Le vin était tout aussi excellent.

I came from the Caribbean's craving Pasta & decided to Google restaurants near my neighbourhood. We usually go to a south shore Italian restaurant but it was closed for Easter Sunday. This one picked my curiosity due to its proximity but knew that it was overpriced for the amount of pasta served in the dishes they offer. Once there, I found the atmosphere appealing & the smells were pleasant. The seating was a bit odd but we adapted to it. After looking at the menu I chose the Braised Beef Scoter & my girl the ravioli a la Toscana. To make it simple, the Braised Beef Scoter was the one dish I will go back for & the Arancini without forgetting their interesting private Wine list. The pasta dishes can be an overpriced small quantity for small appetites. Again Braised Beef Scoter 5/5 in my personal opinion!!!

A lot of vegan choices! The pasta here is seriously amazing, full of flavor, & the service is top-notch. Plus, the place has this super chill & cozy vibe that just makes it a go-to spot for a laid-back & delicious meal. Tiramisu is a must!
