What is Blu Ristorante & Lounge? Positioned on King Street West near the downtown stage district, Blu Ristorante & Lounge delivers contemporary Italian dining with polished, white-tablecloth panache. The room frames rich burgundy banquettes, marble counters, and an overhead chandelier alongside an intimate wine bar and a sought-after sidewalk patio. Weekend live piano and vocal performances bring a warm, clubby energy to this Wellington Place staple.
Blu Ristorante & Lounge Menu & What to Order Start with the truffled beef carpaccio finished with parmigiano or the char-marked grilled calamari. The house pastas hit their mark with precision, specifically the silky sweet potato gnocchi and a deeply simmered classic cavatelli Bolognese. For the centerpiece, the woodfire grilled Australian rack of lamb stands out for its smoky crust and rosy center, leading nicely into a generous portion of pistachio tiramisu.
Know Before You Go Given the restaurant's close proximity to Princess of Wales and the Royal Alexandra Theatre, pre-show seatings between 5:00 p.m. and 7:00 p.m. book solid weeks ahead, making OpenTable reservations essential. Transit via St. Andrew subway station is a straightforward one-block walk, which easily beats navigating King West street parking. Service spans daily lunch and evening dinner shifts, with weekend brunch beginning at 11:00 a.m.
