🇨🇦 Toronto | Bar Prima - Where Mystery Meets Italian Elegance 🍝✨

A restaurant where the menu features only Italian dish names—no descriptions, no explanations. This intentional mystery? Chef's way of sparking curiosity! The service shines too: white-aproned staff are warm, friendly, and yes—adorable. 😉 🍴 The Story Behind Bar Prima Fans of Italian cuisine might recognize La Palma—well, Chef Craig & Julian are back with Bar Prima (October 2023). This time, they’ve chosen 1136 Queen West: a moodier, more intimate setting. ✨ Vibe Check Interior Design: By Future Studio (with menu visuals by Lea from Biography Design). Gilded Glamour: Gold-leaf ceilings reflect off mirrored walls, bathing the space in warm, golden light. 💛 Pure opulence. Murano Glass Magic: The front facade features translucent Murano glass bricks, casting a dreamy amber glow—blurring the outside world into poetry. Old-World Nostalgia: Velvet curtains and vintage touches complete the vibe. 🍽️ The Menu (Translated for Clarity!)
