Lardo was the perfect spot for my wife and I to celebrate our 3rd Wedding Anniversary dinner. The service was top shelf, the food and drinks were outstanding and the overall hospitality and attention to detail was absolutely perfect. Thank you to GP, Giuseppe, and the rest of the staff for the perfect Anniversary dinner experience.

Lardo was amazing! Friendly service, attentive staff, great cocktails, and delicious food. Try the porchetta and the fingerling potatoes. I'll definitely be back!

I hadn't heard of Lardo before but we were certainly missing out! Every dish was delicious, my only feedback is I wish the portions were bigger - however there were four of us so it's probably best to share a pasta between two people versus four. The protein entrees were a great size though and highly recommend getting the pork belly, super tasty and a surprise favourite for all of us! The service was professional and friendly, not stuffy at all.

From the moment we walked in it was a wonderful experience! We felt very welcomed even before we were told “make yourself at home!” We had a lovely corner table and all of our courses were delicious! The servers were friendly and even the owner came to speak to everyone during the evening. We can’t wait to go back!!
