North & Navy

North & Navy is a northern Italian kitchen inspired by the bacari of Venice. Italians have an answer for everything.

On practically every calle, salizada and ruga in Venice, you’ll find a Bacaro – a casual place to grab a glass of wine or Prosecco and a bite to eat, known as “cichèti.”

Bacari are Italy’s answer to the pub, and cichèti are the Italian answer to Spanish tapas. Our Bacaro upholds the Italian tradition of togetherness. It’s the perfect place to meet friends after work, or to share a casual glass of sparkling wine and a small bite to eat.

Terrine de Campagne Truffée for our Tour de France wine dinner. As the Tour starts in Italy this year we were inspired to make this labour of love dish as a throwback to the early years when the racers would fuel up on baguettes, charcuterie, wine & beer instead of energy bars and energy drinks from cafés and shops along the way.

This house made terrine is made with pork, pistachios and Alba truffles and wrapped with Lonza ⚜️ served with baby romaine from and plum vinaigrette

For the first time in the 121 year history of the Tour de France, one of the world’s most grueling athletic achievements, is starting in Italy.

As a tribute to the Italian stages of the race and of the years when the racers would drink wine & beer to keep fuelled along the way, we will showcase food from the regions the racers are biking through paired with wine poured by of from Tuscany, Emilia-Romagna & Piedmont finishing with some French Champagne for the podium finish 🍾🚵‍♀️🇫🇷🍷🇮🇹

No cycling involved (unless you’d like to bike on over for dinner) we’d love to see you there!

The curing program has and always will be an integral part of NoNa. It has evolved every year with the restaurant, and become one of our favourite parts of coming to work. When a recipe is just meat, salt and time the flavour of the final product is entirely a reflection of the love put into it.

Bistecca alla Fiorentina⚜️ from the land of pasta not typically known for red meat. A mountainous country covered in grape vines and olive groves there is little room to graze cows. The exception is of course the Chianina Cow that rules the Tuscan countryside. From here we get the king of steaks Bistecca all Fiorentina. With striploin on one side and tenderloin on the other. It’s seared hard and the meat left rare in the middle for that tender & crunchy, rich & salty bite. Perfect sharing platter for groups over the party season ⚜️

The Parkfale Food Centre is a community organization that seeks to go beyond the services of a typical food bank. They offer a free grocery service, but they also operate a full kitchen that prepares breakfast, lunch and coffee time through out the week. They offer free prepared meals to go with a no questions asked policy. Anyone who wants to eat is served. The philosophy is built around the Algonquin word Mino’Weesini meaning “good eats” and focuses on the transformative power of sharing good food. From this space they run a variety of programs aimed at helping various groups in our area. What connects them all is a warm kitchen with good food. They’re doing such amazing work, we’re hoping to give them a little hand through cooking something special with love 💙
