About Sempre Uno
Sempre Uno is a regional Italian fusion restaurant at 1 Lonsdale Avenue in Lower Lonsdale, serving dinner and weekend lunches near the waterfront.
Right where Lower Lonsdale meets the waterfront and the Shipyards, 1 Lonsdale Avenue hosts a restaurant with deep roots in our community. Sempre Uno began as an original cafe on the shipyards before evolving into an Italian dining spot in the early eighties, accumulating over forty years of local loyalty along the way. The kitchen now focuses on regional Italian fusion to broaden the flavour profile beyond traditional expectations. With dinner service running Tuesday through Sunday and lunch available Friday through Sunday, this is a place designed for a polished experience rather than a quick bite, so making a reservation is encouraged to secure your table.
This corner serves as a gateway for folks arriving via SeaBus or strolling down from Central and Upper Lonsdale, making it ideal when you want a proper night out instead of casual takeout pasta. The open concept kitchen anchors a room that welcomes romantic evenings and gatherings with friends, supported by a wine list and gluten-friendly options like Spaghetti AC. Few spots offer such a symbolic connection to the harbour and Quay, providing a classic anchor for anniversaries or visiting relatives without relying solely on nostalgia. It remains relevant for newer residents seeking an upscale Italian meal before a walk along the water, proving that history and contemporary dining can coexist beautifully on the North Shore.
Hours can change, so check with the business before you set out.
