    Pasta bolognese
    Laura R.

    We came here for Summerlicious and enjoyed our meal. I ordered the tomato bisque, pasta bolognese and the cannoli. The restaurant is located directly across from Bayview Village. There are a few parking spots on the street behind the restaurant. Food was very tasty and service was friendly.

    Cute little spot for an ok Italian food. It's located on a main floor, in the retail portion of a condo building across from the Bayview Village, so the parking was a bit of an issue as there were limited spots behind the building. Apparently, there is more parking in the underground garage, but I can't speak to that as I did not park underground. The stylish restaurant is laid out comfortably with a cafe section in the front and the dining section adjacent to it. There were only a handful of tables (maybe 10?), so if you're planning to visit for a weekend dinner, I would recommend making a reservation. There is also a small patio that had 3-4 tables. We dropped in with an impromptu OpenTable reservation one night and sampled various pasta dishes, Margherita pizza, a couple of salads and shared a bottle of their house red. The salads were good, but on the small side even when we upgraded them for an entree size and we were glad to have ordered 2 to share between 4 people. The Margherita pizza was ok, but my 12 yo would have preferred more cheese on it as she was getting just the crust and the sauce bites for a good portion of it. The teen appreciated the creamy chicken alfredo. The pesto & burata pasta had a good flavour base but the coldness from the burata spreading over the pasta was not my favorite way to eat it. The spaghetti and meatballs was our least favorite (last to arrive as the waiter forgot about this order) as it was something that I could have just whipped up at home. The noodles were overcooked for my preference and the dish was just meh. Their lasagna, however, was the star of the show as the soft tower of well-cooked noodles were layered with delicious meat sauce, cheese and topped with generous shavings of parmesan. Definitely right up there with one of the best lasagnas I've eaten in Toronto. We didn't love the house red which was too young for my liking, but that was just our preference. The wait staff here are friendly but forgetful, as we needed to remind him that one of our mains was missing. Also forgot to refill our water and bring out an extra setting for our group. He was apologetic and the kitchen brought out the missing pasta as fast as they could, but we were almost half way through our dinner when the last main came out. Perhaps these are just growing pains as the restaurants is still relatively new. I definitely see good potential here, but this visit was sadly lacking. I will return to try out other menu when I'm back in the area.

    Finally made it to BÒN Italia Trattoria & Caffè, located in the Bayview area just across from Bayview Village. I'd passed by many times and was drawn in by its elegant cafe look--so I had to give it a try! Dine-in experience: 1. Crostini - Tasty and nicely done 2. Chicken Alfredo - Possibly more authentic in flavour, but felt ordinary and not very memorable 3. Latte al Pistacchio - Beautiful presentation, but too sweet for my taste; I prefer a more balanced coffee-to-milk ratio Takeaway visits: Croissant with Prosciutto - A favourite of mine! Delicious and something I'd happily reorder I'd love to come back to try more of the starters--they seem well-crafted and full of flavour Interior, Seating, Lighting, Pricing: Elegant and comfortable space with chic decor and a modern Italian café vibe, reasonable price for the experience, around $55 for the dishes I ordered and mentioned. However, the table for two was quite small and seating felt a little cramped between other diners--didn't feel very cozy for a date or quiet chat Overall, a pleasant place to sit, but better suited for solo visits or casual coffee catch-ups Overall Value: If you're a fan of Italian flavours and lighter fare like crostini or savoury pastries, this spot has charm. While I didn't enjoy the pistachio latte (too sweet and not enough coffee character), it might appeal to others who like dessert-style drinks. Tip: Try takeaway if you want more space, and don't miss the croissant with prosciutto! Have you been to BÒN Italia? What's your go-to order--or is there something I should try next time?

    A great coffee shop to work from, grab a drink or have a full meal with wine! Came on a weekday to snag a table to do some work and it was quiet but had a few other tables also with laptops. There aren't a lot of tables with plugs so be aware of that before coming. I got the pistachio latte which was recommended by the staff here and they were onto something! It's delicious, creamy, and nutty all in one, while also still giving me that caffeine hit. Staff here were friendly. Ambiance was beautiful. Love that they are a half cafe vibe but also serve a full menu of food and even have wine and cocktails. Parking is a bit tricky, I didn't know where to park since it was on a main road and had nowhere to turn into when you're facing the restaurant. Would love to try their other items someday. Saw that they have delicious looking and sounding sandwiches, pizzas, salads, pastas and more. Definitely check this spot out!

    Margherita Pinsa and Caprese Pasta

    We came here for summerlicious. Food was delicious and service was friendly. Serving sizes were generous. Quite vegetarian friendly. We ordered the Frozen Burrata salad and Tomato bisque for appetizers, and the Caprese pasta and Margherita Pinsa (not Pizza but almost the same). Waiting for dessert now. All for $35 per person with the summerlicious promotion.

    I was in the area looking for a cafe to grab a coffee in between running errands, and came across Bon Italia. Service was friendly, and the cafe was clean & tidy. It wasn't too busy or loud inside, which made for a great environment to do some light reading or have a conversation. My cappuccino was excellent - the espresso roast had enough body without being too bitter or acidic, and it was lovely to sip and enjoy with the complimentary small biscotto. Looking forward to my next visit to try their food!

    Made a reservation and when we arrived it wasn't busy. The table reserved for two had one chair that was quite dirty and stained. Not sure why they thought this was ok for customers to use. Personally I thought it was gross that they couldn't do a quick check to make sure that the chairs were clean enough to sit on especially when it wasn't busy. Otherwise the food was alright. The burrata salad was my favourite and the spaghetti from the pesto burrata pasta wouldn't been better if it was al dente but it was fully cooked. My husband rated the pizza 7/10. Parking is moderately convenient. Worth a try but I wouldn't go back.

    New cafe spot opened at my friend's community, thanks my friend recommended to me, just opposite at bayveiw village Super cozy interior design, comfy seating area, all staff was very friendly and helpful Tried their cafe latte, looks so pretty, definitely back again

    Pistachio latte

    Only 4 reviews on Yelp? This my friends is the definititon of a hidden gem. A coworker and I made plans to meet up and we found this spot on Yelp. They have free wifi, a full menu, and all the coffee we could want so we set the plan in motion. We arrived early on a week day and easily grabbed a table near an outlet so we had plenty of juice as we worked for a few hours. The service was friendly from the jump and our server offered great recommendations on what to order. I went with their pistachio latte and a pistachio croissant. I'm a big fan of the nut so if I can enjoy it two different ways at once, I'm down. The latte was smooth and creamy and the presentation was beautiful. I loved that the cup was rimmed in pistachio crumbs, as I nibbled on them as I sipped my drink. The croissant was everything I wanted in a croissant and more. And I say that being a bit of a croissant snob. I love them and have high standards. This one was stuffed with a pistachio cream that was to die for. I'm still dreaming of it a week later. If I lived near by I would definitely be a regular. I highly suggest paying them a visit.

    Me and my family went for Italian food, and it was delicious! The cappuccino was pretty inexpensive at 4.75$ and the pastas were seasoned very well. We also tried a small charcuterie board that we split together which was absolutely stunning. We requested a to-go box because me and my daughter aren't big eaters, and the servers kindly packed it away for us. The restaurant has a cozy but also modern feel to it. The colours used are bright and darker shades of red, with hints of purple. They have a smaller amount of seating so come earlier when eating in a group. Delicious!

    This is a new coffee shop in the neighbourhood and we got some takeout. The staff was friendly and the shop was spacious. The pistachio croissants was flaky and tasty! The breakfast croissant didn't have much filling and looked kind of sad. Lastly the almond croissant was dry and hard.

The kind, attentive service was outstanding, the food exquisite, and sitting outside in the flower rimmed quiet patio made the ambiance just what we wanted. We had dinner there 3 out of the 5 evenings of our trip, it was so outstanding!!! And, we were welcomed warmly each night by Khalid, making us feel like VIP's! His menu suggestions & wine choices were perfect! And my sincere compliments to the Chef who prepared our fine appetizers, breads, pasta, and dessert. They deserve 5 stars! Truly excellent!!

There is an upstairs balcony seating but I've never sat there. During warm weather, there is plenty of roadside outdoor seating too. This is my fourth time here but I never wrote a review fir the restaurant before. We ordered the following: 1. Shrimp Perno (daily special $6/shrimp). Jumbo Shrimp sautéed in garlic, white wine, tomatoes, scallions, and finished off with a shot of perno liquor. 2. Rack of Lamb (daily special $59.95). Four pieces of lamb in a rack, with a rich portion wine reduced sauce, that has a touch of mint to it, and Penne Pasta in a tomato rose sauce. The table bread was really good. The crust was crispy but the inside was fluffy. The soft butter that came it was so tasty. The bread was perfect for dipping in the sauce that came with the shrimp. We asked for a second basket of bread and they put two loafs in the second basket. It was too much so they were willing to let us take it home. The shrimps were definitely jumbo. It was so filling. Two pieces (per person) were good enough as an appetizer. The shrimps were perfectly cooked. We requested the lamb be cooked medium rare. It was definitely medium rare. It was juicy and did not have a gamey taste. It tastes great. The pasta was perfectly al dente. The tomato rose sauce was really good. They offered to grind parmesan cheese and pepper so we got both. There is free WiFi. The restaurant is wheelchair accessible. There is paid neighbourhood street parking and paid parking lots. Review 2025-187

This is a wine bar - the house lager was bad (maybe my own bad decision) and the red I got was fine ... nothing to write home about. However place fell apart with the food - the shrimp came with 5 medium sized shrimp with the tails, legs and shells on and were under seasoned. The artichokes were mediocre (loved the sauce they came with). Worst of all was the "Ontario peaches" with the burrata were totally canned peaches - could've even been dole brand! This place has amazing potential with the location and vibe - but the food just was not it. Small portions and the price didn't match what was served. The service was friendly but nothing too crazy. Go here for the drinks, but maybe not for the dinner!

Our server was great at helping us pick our wine, he mentioned that their wines are all on the dry side which is perfect for me, I'm not one for sweet wines. We also had two of their small plates the mussels and the burrata. The mussels tasted great with the sauce, a little garlicky which I prefer. The combination of the peach and mint went really well with the burrata. Light and easy to eat. The patio at night is one of the highlights. The only small complaint was it did take a while to get our wine after we ordered it and a little while to get our check. Otherwise cute spot.

Lots of decent beers on draft and they leave water bottle to refill your water cups, which I love. Service is bit slow. Had to sit at the bar since it was crowded at 6:30pm and still had to wait 30 mins. I normally don't eat at the bar, since bartenders are slower and busier with drink orders, but I was starving. Bartender only checked on us once, when food came out. Hard to get their attention too. Food, however, was amazing! Love the savory giant meatball and the rich San Marzano tomato-based marinara sauce, with dab of pesto and plenty of fresh basil. Loved the sauce was not too acidic and pasta cooked perfectly, not al dente. The focaccia bread comes with this rosemary garlic butter, and it was absolutely delicious on focaccia. The focaccia bread alone was just okay, not much rosemary or oil flavor, but I think the spread had all the flavor. Amazing and worth $6.

    Food 3/5 Service 3/5…read moreAmbiance 3/5 Food: I came here for an event. There was a set menu with appetizers (salad, bread etc) most of it I couldn't eat due to food allergies. For the main dish we could choose from gnocchi, salad with salmon or another dish which I can't recall right now. Dessert was ice cream which I also couldn't eat. The gnocchi was very mediocre. I didn't enjoy it at all. I hadn't been here in years but I see their food quality hasn't gotten any better. I was starving by the time the main dish came out so I ate about a quarter of the dish. Then I took the rest of the gnocchi home. Service: The waitstaff were really nice but the service was not very organized. There was a lot of appetizers but I couldn't eat most of it. Which is strange because I gave my food allergies several days in advance of the meal. It took some time to get the main dish as well so the pacing didn't seem great. I looked around at the other tables & we got our main dishes last. I'm not sure if the kitchen was at fault or what. Ambiance: It's quite dark here even on the lunch hour. The decor is dark wood tones, red upholstered banquette seating & wooden tables & chairs. It's not a fancy place. I would not choose to eat here again. Last time I went was several years ago. Sadly I see they haven't gotten any better. There are other better Italian restaurants in this area.
