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.

OMG!!!! I haven't eaten so much in years!! The veal milanese, spaghetti & vegetables were all amazing & so tasty. My Husband's gluten free spaghetti olio was also very good. We were so happy with our dinner & would not hesitate to recommend this restaurant to anyone. Well worth it.

Malgré une soirée d'hochey & des clients bruyants, nous avons été servis avec beaucoup de gentillesse, la bouffe était très bonne particulièrement la salade César.

J'ai mangé à la Marinara souvent le midi, pendant des années, & c'était toujours bon. J'ai d'ailleurs toujours dit que le chef savait comment cuire son poisson, ce qui est rare.
Malheureusement hier soir, avec un visiteur de Toronto, j'ai été très déçue de mon plat de poisson, morue avec une sauce poireaux & amandes. Le poisson était trop cuit & la sauce beaucoup trop salée. J'en ai laissé la moitié.
Cela dit, les escargots dans leur sauce à la crème sont toujours aussi bons.
