Nodo Restaurant

What is Nodo Restaurant? Anchoring a lively stretch of Dundas Street West, Nodo Restaurant is the original Junction outpost founded by friends Vito Tomasicchio, Charlie Giordano, and Gianmarco DeZorzi. The converted heritage room pairs restored terrazzo flooring and lofty coffered ceilings with warm pendant lighting, tufted banquettes, and a buzzing full-service bar counter. It operates seamlessly as a vibrant neighbourhood fixture built for relaxed weeknight dinners, lively group gatherings, and casual dates alike.

Nodo Restaurant Menu & What to Order The from-scratch kitchen focuses on regional Italian comfort food executed with contemporary polish. Table staples include the crispy Arancini Siciliani stuffed with ragù and crema di stracciatella, Ontario lamb spiducci, and the silky Pappardelle al Funghi. For something rich, order the house-made Gnocchi New School bathed in truffle cream, sweet corn, and sautéed mushrooms, paired alongside an all-Italian wine pour or a selection from their deep amaro list.

Know Before You Go Nodo takes limited table reservations through OpenTable while holding space for walk-in diners, though prime-time Friday and Saturday evenings routinely see waits for a table. The restaurant is easily accessed via the 30 High Park or 40 Junction TTC buses, with Green P and street parking available along Dundas West. Operating hours run for dinner service on weekdays starting at 5:00 p.m., with continuous lunch and dinner service starting at noon on weekends.
