About

La Marinara offers a focused menu centered on traditional Italian bistro staples prepared with consistent technical precision. Diners encounter a selection of handmade pasta dishes tossed in rich, herb-infused tomato sauces alongside artisanal pizzas featuring thin, blistered crusts baked in high-temperature ovens. The environment prioritizes an understated aesthetic where polished tables and efficient service facilitate a straightforward culinary experience. Menu items emphasize the integrity of imported ingredients, showcasing cured meats, creamy mozzarella, and seasonal vegetables sourced for their vibrant flavor profiles. The kitchen maintains strict adherence to Mediterranean cooking techniques, ensuring every plate delivers authentic textures and balanced seasoning. Each course reflects a commitment to functional simplicity, favoring robust, satisfying compositions that prioritize the foundational elements of regional Italian cooking over complex or experimental culinary presentations.

The service at La Marinara was first rate. It's a small restaurant & we arived when it was packed with pre-hockey game diners so it was quite noisy. But once a few people left, it was more comfortable to talk. We found the food quite good. A couple of points, though: the tomoato & bocconcini appetizer was really tiny. There were only 4 or 5 thin slices of tomato, each topped with a small piece of cheese. This was not what we were expecting for the price. The minestrone soup was good but much too salty. The main courses we ordered: stuffed tortellini & nerone sauce topped fish were very good. The litre of house wine was excellent. It's a very authentic feeling Italian restaurant.

The food is exquisite! The service is warm & competent! The place has this old world European feel! Don't miss the place... except on any hockey night. Hockey people are noisy!

Vraiment un bon resto italien comme on en trouve pas bcp. Portions généreuses & savoureuses. Le veau Polignac & les pâtes Alfredo sont sublimes & les desserts magnifique le seul bémol une carte des vins un peu sommaire. Mais clairement un endroit où je vais retourner.
