The atmosphere was perfect and cozy, and the staff were very friendly and welcoming. It was a full house during our visit, which really says a lot about the place!

Other than that, we really enjoyed our visit and would definitely come back.

Came by this place many times. Decided to finally try this place with my dad…read more Ambiance - 3/5: at the back, it was almost like a little keepsake for the original owners. The front was decorated with Christmas decor. There is 1 washroom for ladies and 1 for gents. There were no paper towels in the bathroom. I appreciated the dedication to the original owners. There were newspaper clippings and their photos on the wall. They also incorporated them into the menu. Service - 2/5: we went around 1pm. We were the 2nd table seated and the 1st table was already well situated (already eating their mains). We were greeted and seated quickly (we got to choose our own spot). The server forgot to give us water for a very long time. It didn't come until we started eating the bread. I was going to ask when they brought the food out. My plate was dirty. I ordered the steak and no steak knife was provided. Although the server was nice, the service was severely lacking. Food - 3/5: the bread was cold and felt a little stale. It came with butter packets, a jar of olive oil and a small pot of spicy olive oil. I tried a few drops of the spicy olive oil. It is definitely spicy. Not sure what type of hot peppers are in there but there is also garlic. My dad got the salmon on the grill and I got the Ribeye AAA 10oz. The salmon came with risotto and veggies (can't choose the side - it comes preset). He said it was ok. I tasted a little bit. The salmon was good - moist. The risotto was a little too salty for me. For the ribeye, as mentioned, I didn't get a steak knife. So I was cutting into the steak with the dinner knife. At least it was tender enough to cut through. I ordered medium rare and it was pretty close. I'm a little surprised how light the sauce was. I chose vegetables and those are fine. The food is expensive but it's expected for a restaurant. Overall: 2.8/5 - not in the biggest rush to go back

Professional and courteous service was provided throughout the meal... Both still (not tap) and sparkling water was served, and even the bottles were sealed! Our group ordered a polenta stick and fried calamari as an appetizer to share. The calamari was fried with minimal flour so you will not feel super heavy, yet it still has a crunch to every bite. The polenta stick was new to me as I have never had polenta before, yet I won't turn down the offer. It was crispy on the outside, and soft inside, adding the marinara sauce gave more flavor to the blend polenta. Both appetizers would have tasted better if a little salt or more flavour was added. I have ordered the "tonnarelli zucca e porcini", aka mushroom pasta with butternut squash puree topped with burrata cheese. The pasta was made in-house and cooked to al dente, it has that doughy and chewy texture hence you could tell it's not the supermarket ones. The puree was light so it counteracted the heaviness of the pasta, yet it was little flavour, I was a little disappointed that there wasn't any flavour.

The servers are always checking the table if all is well and checking if your drinking glasses are full. The appetizers (aka the antipasti on their menu) are lovely. One has got to try their Calamari Fritti because the serving is plentiful with a lovely crunch to the batter used. My main which was the $35.00 Pollo seemed very 'piccolo' but was somewhat satisfying to the tastebuds. When we arrived there at around 11:30 AM, parking was plentiful. When we left at 1:30 PM, the parking was full to the point where vehicles were parked illegally. We almost had issues leaving the premises. That is the drawback. The lot isn't that big and this restaurant is very popular in the area.

We had reservations and we were seated promptly. We shared the bruschetta. The tomatoes were very fresh and the focaccia bread was wonderful! For my entree I had capellini sardi, but I substituted penne for the capellini. The flavors in this pasta dish were wonderful! Everyone else enjoyed their dishes as well. Service was great. Drinks refilled as needed and we were checked on.

Nice ambiance but lacking in flavour…read more Atmosphere: The restaurant has both an indoor space and a covered patio space, which is especially nice over the summer when the weather is warm. Went on a weekday for a work social and people were dressed casual to smart casual. Food: The food was a little disappointing, and was more of a modern interpretation of classic Italian food. The bruschetta had a bit too much tomato, and it was diced very finely and was on the watery side rather than the sweet or acidic side. The grilled calamari was interesting with the char, but the red bell pepper on the side tasted on the acidic/sour side, and could use more sweetness. The linguini was cooked well but didn't have the al dente texture of freshly made pasta and again, the tomato sauce tasted too watery and lacked the sweetness and tartness and there was no white wine taste. Service: The server was friendly and generally out of the way, but had trouble understanding us at times. There were a couple of us who were vegetarian and he had trouble hearing, and suggested pizzas with meat on them to the vegetarians, and so we had to repeat ourselves several times for him to understand. The food also came out quite slowly, especially the mains, and felt like we were sitting for a long time. They did clean the table off between courses, which was appreciated. Okay option if you're in the area, but had better food elsewhere.

The food was absolutely incredible. I have never in my life had gnocchi that pillowy soft. The pizza was better than expected. High quality ingredients. A server that actually cared & I'm pretty sure they kidnapped an Italian grandma to cook for them. I could not recommend this place enough. I couldn't be happier. Phillip was absolutely amazing. He made me an espresso martini & the tiramisu was to die for. Try this place...you won't be disappointed!

I was fearful that the sourdough would be soggy but we reheated it once we got home and it was so delicious LOBSTER A LA CATALANA: a good amount of lobster and shrimp mixed in a tangy salad dressing. Portion size is tapas style but definitely a must if you want a nice summer salad ORECCHIETTE PASTA: pasta cook to perfection, yummy shrimp and flavour to the dish CARBONARA: was a little bit oily by the time we got home, but was still very flavourful with the pancetta and bacon. Overall size is a bit smaller on portion, but is definitely worth a visit as there are so many different options to try.

We're not strict veg, we just like to lean that way most nights so we thought we'd check Bellona out. A lot of their menu has a choice between tapas size and full size so we tried a few things. Loved everything. The sliders were addictive. Attached is our bill. $99 including a bottle of wine and we were stuffed (and I'm 6'4" and have an appetite). Desserts looked good too but we were too full. The very nice owner chatted with us at the end and told us about the origin of the place (and that our great server was her daughter). Definitely very happy with this restaurant.

Long story short, they told us to wait 5-10mins and if the next reservation didn't show up, they could seat us. Luckily, we got seated. The staff was nice, the place is cozy and had good vibes. The food was good. The chocolate red wine cake for dessert was really good. I recommend this place.
