About Abruzzi

The restaurant focuses on providing an experience of gracious hospitality and attentive service, where the staff aims to make diners feel comfortable and well taken care of. The menu features an interpretation of both modern and traditional Italian cuisine, with a primary commitment to using local, sustainable, and seasonal ingredients. Specific offerings include handmade pastas such as spaghetti and ravioli, pizzas, breads, and various entrées like classic duck and grilled fresh fish. The kitchen also prepares dishes using whole lambs and pigs to create pancetta and seasonal braises, as well as rustic ingredients like bison and game. For dessert, the restaurant serves renditions of Italian classics. The beverage program features a value-driven wine list that includes old-world classics, local wines from Niagara, and selections from small production regions. The restaurant sources its produce from organic farmers, sustainable fisheries, and the oldest water-powered flour mill in Canada. It is named after the Abruzzo region of central Italy. While reservations are considered essential for a table, the business welcomes walk-ins at the bar for signature martinis.
