We went for lunch after 1:00 on Sunday. We were the only table there which was too bad because the food was awesome! Table favourite was the lamb popsicles, followed by the calabrese salad. The truffle fries were amazing. Service was top notch. Presentation of the lamb and salad were gorgeous, sorry, I didn't take photos!

Hidden gem! Pizza is light and airie! Mussel and shrimp are cooked perfectly. Truffle fries mmmmm. Pesto was cooked perfectly and not oily.Monday to Wednesday is all day happy hour. A variety of local beers to choose from.Atmosphere: smaller restaurant with lots of space in between tables so you can have comfortable conversations. Lots of big windows so there is light: a patio area.Will come back once the patios are open ;)

I'd give this place 30 stars if I could. We did a work lunch at Villa Bistro, the entire group of us couldn't stop talking about how great the food was. The atmosphere and service we amazing as well!!Thanks Folks, we left full and happy!!P.SThe short rib truffle pizza is probably the best pizza I've ever had in my life.

This place is a serious hidden gem. If you haven't been, you should go! The kitchen cooks with so much passion, you can taste it in the food. Incredible flavor that tastes like home, rather than your blah chain restaurant menu.As for catering, we're getting married here, and Ariana has been incredible to work with! This is NOT your typical catering menu. We are so excited for our guests to share some amazing food and drinks with us.Seriously amazing little spot downtown ?

Had a second date supper there Saturday evening and am glad the other place we wanted to go was full, it was great!There is plenty of space between tables which I really appreciate and we got lucky getting a corner booth near the back that gave a view of the entire place and still felt private.Our server Kyle was amazing, just so on the ball, great waiter. Created an iced coffee for me with what he has on hand and it turned out amazingly delicious, I will be buying vanilla oat milk!The appetizers we had were the aranccini (oh em jee YUM!!), the lamb popsicles (holy eff delicious!!) And the calamari (not a nice presentation and sadly too salty and were removed from the bill which was nice). We then moved onto the braised beef pizza to share which was quite tasty (the cheeses in every dish were quality!) although I found the beef a bit dry. The carrot cake for dessert was quite tasty although it was a bit different having a sort of tangy lemony zest in the icing that was a little strange but still enjoyable.All in all a great experience and honestly for me the service in a restaurant is AS important as the food so we will return for sure thanks to Kyle! Look forward to trying more of the tempting things on the menu. Thanks!

My new favorite restaurant. The food is very good and comes to the table nice and hot. We have been twice ànd both times have thoroughly enjoyed our choices. We chose the restaurant as it had good reviews and we totally agree. We will be back.

I had a good experience with my group. The male waiter was attentive and kind. The food was good, everyone was pleased.I had a problem on my visit to this restaurant but the restaurant worked to resolve it so this is an updated review.

We've eaten here several times, the food is amazing! We love their prawn and pesto pizza, their arrancini, lamb pops, bruschetta. We have not tried their mains yet but will be back to do that!
Ambience was really nice and the service was excellent. Unfortunately they ran out of tortilla chips and taco shells. We ended up ordering the chicken and Brie sandwich. The chicken wasn't very good and there was hardly any Brie in it. My husband ordered the braised short rib and said it was really good.

Everything about our experience was exceptional. We ordered the Calamari and it was delicious, lightly battered, nice seasoning, and the tomatoes and asparagus were a nice addition. We had the tomato soup with a steak sandwich, again everything was flavourful. We also had the seafood linguine and it was good, plenty of fish and tasted great.

The place was great all around but hard to find! Awnings are completely covered in snow! We were unable to make a reservation during happy hour through Open Table even though there would have been plenty of space for us.

Disappointed that there was no gluten free pasta available considering pasta is a main feature on the menu and it specifies there is gluten free pasta. We specifically opted for the restaurant due to the gluten free options that were on the menu. This is the only reason for the 3 rating.
