Review Summary

Nora Gray is frequently praised for its intimate, cozy atmosphere and its selection of high-quality, flavorful Italian-inspired dishes, particularly the fresh pasta and seasonal offerings. Many diners highlight the attentive, knowledgeable staff and the vibrant energy of the space as key factors in an enjoyable evening. However, recurring feedback points to concerns regarding high price points relative to small portion sizes, as well as inconsistencies in food preparation and service pacing. While some guests find the dining experience to be exceptional and well worth a visit, others feel the value does not always align with their expectations, noting that the restaurant can become quite loud and occasionally chilly in colder months.

The food was just fine, but for the portion sizes it was vastly overpriced. It was hard for our table to eat enough despite spending close to $100 per person & we all got pizza afterwards.

I went on a date in this small cozy restaurant located in a beautiful neighbourhood.
The service was professional.
The ambiance was intimate.
The cocktail I ordered was not to my liking (too bitter).
They have only two small toilets, but I suppose it's proportionate to the size of the restaurant.
The food, albeit oily, was very good. I ordered the strozzapreti.
We had the luck to have a terrace spot on a beautiful day. It's a small terrace, bordering a semi-busy street.
The parking situation was easy for us ; it was paid street parking.

Bottomline, I would come back again to enjoy the delicious food & romantic, niche-y experience.

Great experience overall with knowledgable waitress. She pointed us in the right direction with wine choice & we pretty well let her choose our dishes, she did a fantastic job! I still prefer Gia over Nora Gray but I like how it's a different menu.

One of the better meals I've had in my life. Worth the hype.

Great vibe, very decent food. Service was exceedingly slow. Very, very slow service, though the service in general was very polite & gave good insight on the menu. Meal easily took 30-45 minutes longer than it needed to just on service time, & I am not one to nitpick on this, it just killed the flow of an otherwise great dinner.

The food was great quality. Asparagus was great, along with all the pastas. The beef was tough, though it was well cooked with a great sauce. The pork was also very tasty.

I would go back, but only if the service issues are fixed.

My first time at Nora Gray by myself, because my foodie local friend said,'Try, you are in luck if you can get in.' I ordered tuna carpaccio & zucchini pasta. The pasta was impressive, from its aroma to texture & taste, especially its unique after taste sweetness was quite a delight! But the tuna… I had better. Sorry to say I was expecting the melt in your mouth texture with fresh balanced favour but the lemon juice somehow on that night was too overpowering so all was lost. The vibe was cosy, casual elegant. Servers were friendly & professional. Will try again.

Lovely little restaurant aesthetically, great staff. I have been hearing about this spot for a while now & I have to say our experience was a letdown. We ordered most of the menu & everything was simply just okay - plus two people from our party got sick after dining here. I don't think I would try it again, especially considering the price of dishes.
