Respect Is Burning
A retro Italian bistro on Durham Street downtown, with recipes from the owner's family. Its beef carpaccio and meatballs are highly rated.
Located at 82 Durham Street downtown, inside The Durham Social. It is one of Sudbury's best-known independent restaurants, known for its retro décor that blends a pub with a small Italian trattoria. The dishes draw on the owner's family recipes and travel inspiration, and the sauces are made fresh and full of herbs. Often praised are thinly sliced raw beef, Deep Forest Italian toasted bread with garlic, crispy mushroom salad, meatballs and a pistachio dessert, and pizza is also available. The restaurant is lively and somewhat noisy, and there is a large patio in summer. Booking is recommended on weekends. Prices average CAD 40–60 per person, making it a good stop after walking the downtown sights.
