    I've been a fan of Bellona since their Jane location opened but it was a bit far for me. So I was thrilled when they announced their new College location. This place is a true gem, offering exceptional food, friendly service, and a welcoming ambiance. Whether you're a plant-based or not, the menu has something for everyone and it is delicious. The dishes are beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. The staff is incredibly attentive and friendly and always goes the extra mile to ensure a delightful dining experience. I've already visited the College location twice and I will definitely be back. I can confidently recommend Bellona to anyone looking for an amazing meal.

    Love, love, Loved! Every review I read about this place was spot on. Love the retro vibe, the music selection, the wine, the food. The service! Also the decor just topped it off for me! It’s the kind of place you want to go and tell your friends about it. Also the cocktail bar afterwards is a must!

    La Bartola has an ambient atmosphere perfect for intimate dates or more lively dinners with colleagues and friends. The staff are attentive and friendly, willing to offer recommendations and explanations of menu items without hesitation. I had their white mole dish, followed by the chocolate cake, and was blown away by how incredible everything tasted. For cocktails, the Oaxacan (pronounced "Wa-ha-kan") Old Fashioned is an unmissable classic, combining the flavours of an Old Fashioned with the unmistakeable smokiness of mescal, which is a Oaxacan specialty. I've been to Bartola twice now and, as a non-vegan, find their menu exciting, intriguing, and, above all, outstanding. I will be back!

    Once again an amazing evening at Zitto Zitto! Scrumptious food! Great company. Cozy atmosphere. Phenomenal staff! Marty as always being his hilarious self. Lovely meeting Ian this evening. The two fellas are dinner and a show! Precision dining watching Marty weave in/out from the kitchen and his sleight of hand when you realize he changed out the silverware while dazzling you with his sparkling personality! Maurice had his favourite cauliflower side dish with today’s special: butternut squash risotto, he added shrimp. It was soo good! I forget which cocktail Ian made him. I had my roasted beets with the melt in your mouth burrata, pistachio pesto, linguine con asttice - OMG! Sooooo good! Pistachio tiramisu for dessert. Marty made me a mocktail, he called Bianca’s something, just delicious. Oh Marty razzle dazzled us with his oil & balsamic swirling skills, to dip our bread. Ask him to make it dirty for ya! Ha! ;o)
