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.

Nice little restaurant close to the Bell Centre, the ambiance is nice, the food is very tasty & overall we were satisfied.
Small critisism: portions are small. You'd think that a $24 bowl of pasta would be a full bowl.... (The bowl wasn't big)

So it's a trade off of great location, but not great portions.

Service was good too, not a bad thing to say there.

I recommend it.

My husband & I were pleasantly surprised. The food was excellent. A very efficient & excellent serving staff. We had the escargots. Delicious. My husband had the tortellini & I had a meat-filled cannelloni. It took about an hour between the escargots & our main meal, but the restaurant was full & my cannelloni required some baking time. Very understandable. We had a show to attend afterwards so our schedule was tighter. We will definitely stay longer the next time we go back. We will go back. Good idea to reserve too. We went on a Friday evening & we were happy we reserved a table.
