Kyo S. • April 23, 2016Have a Polish comfort meal. Pierogis are fantastic as are their kielbasa and cabbage rolls. Open Wed-Sun

Cameron D. • December 5, 2016Fantastic. I went for the small pepperoni — tomato sauce was great, the crust was just perfect. Very filling!

Ashley R. • May 6, 2018Super friendly service, incredibly inspired food coming out of a ridiculously small kitchen. Pork neck pancakes where incredible.

Hillary H. • March 29, 2018Rotating specialty ice cream flavors — they do several beer or liquor-flavored ones that are delicious. The green tea always goes fast and they don’t make it that often — so good.

Chris K. • May 5, 2018Great neighbourhood vibe, awesome patio on warm days, coffee is some of the best in the city. Staff are a bit aloof though.

Joanna S. • September 6, 2014Ascari is known for great pasta and Killer wine Mondays but they are also very local with great appetizers and bomb desserts.
