“By far my favourite place to eat in Hamilton! They have incredible sourdough donuts, delicious coffee, stunning atmosphere (with great finishes and art!) and hands down the BEST pizza in town - move over Shorty’s, Cafe Baffico has you beat! Also the staff is so friendly and welcoming. If you have a chance, definitely check this gem of a place out, you won’t be disappointed.“

“I organized a work Christmas party/private event at Berkeley North last week. We rented out the space for our party and it was perfect.

We will definitely be back! Thank you so much“

He organized individual bills accurately and everything came as ordered. He is an excellent member of your staff, and we hope to be served by him at our next visit!!“

“Sam, son & his team 👍👍👍👍👍
Pizza & thin crust 5👍
Sam knows our name, & would know our order if i didn't change it regularly!
When I was gardening pregnant, his driver stopped to help me get a stubborn weed out. You don't get that from Pizza Pizza!' Mom & Pop shops every time. # buy local“

“Cute little place to I go for breakfast or brunch.....or just for a nice long chat with a friend over a delicious cuppa whatever coffee or warm drink you like. It seats around 20 and has table options. Some for that quiet chat, some to be on you own facing the side window and some on the community table if you want to share your space. Food was fresh and tasty. You order and pay at the order area, then go to your table where they will serve your food when it's ready. Parking is side street with a little walk or pay at the street parking meters. Would go there again with a friend to chat with a cappuccino in hand and baked good.“

“For the past year since moving to Hamilton my wife and I have been trying all the great pizza spots and this is for sure top two! It’s a bit out of our way so we don’t go often because usually pizza is chosen for a convenient quick meal, but if we want to have a really good pizza this is the top of the list! The service has always been great and the price is reasonable especially given how good it is. I will always recommend this place to people looking for something new. It’s also super filling and we always have leftovers that reheat really well!“

“Stopped by yesterday for lunch! Shared the fish tacos and duck wings- fantastic! Great beer selection and great staff! Thanks for the delicious grub!“

“We had a really good time at La Luna. My husband and I ordered the platter for 2 people which was quite
good. In my opinion, 3-4 people could have easily ate from it. The lentil soup was so warm and delicious, a really good appetizer to start with. The cold dips like the hummus and baba ganoush were amazing, especially the eggplant one. The meat skewers were also very tender and juicy but we couldn’t finish it after having the appetizers because the portions are just that good! I highly recommend trying out this place if you’re in the area. It’s halal and the staff are very kind, and take time to explain what the menu entails. 10/10!“

“I got to put 10 here. It was excellent. The fries were cooked well. The gravy was delicious. Pulled pork was okay though. A little fatty for my liking but overall I would recommend it. It's got a great atmosphere and a pool table in here.“

“Always good. Always fresh. And I can walk.“

“Great vibes here, I got the spicy tuna and spicy salmon maki rolls, both were absolutely delicious and maintained their flavour without the spicy taking away from it at all. Great blend of quality ingredients and preparation expertise, will be coming back!“

“Best fish and chips !!!!! Fresh, hot and delicious !!!!!“

“very beautiful and fresh food never disappointed love this place“

“Enjoyed a great birthday experience at Born and Raised last evening. The atmosphere made you feel comfortable and the food was spectacular, (make sure you try Nonnas Meatballs). While all of the staff were welcoming and made the evening enjoyable for the nine of us, Alicia went out of her way to ensure we had everything we needed to make the celebration memorable! Thanks guys, you can expect to see us back again, Born and Raised will now become a regular experience.“

“Popped in here try them out as i pass by here on the Bayfront bus all the time. Decent food, the guy behind the counter was pretty cool. Ordered the gyro and pad thai, really good, a litte overpriced but what isn't these days? will definitely be back :)“

“absolutely the best noodles in the world. Get the King, you won't regret it! ❤️❤️❤️“

“That pizza was awesome. Thin crust. Big slices. Cupped pepperonis. And sesame seeds around the crust. I've never had pizza like this before and it was great.“

“Excellent Service and Excellent foods. The place was great. The staff was friendly and good Highly recommended ❤️👏👍“

“I recently ordered a veggie pizza from Domino's, and I must say—it was absolutely incredible! The flavors were perfectly balanced, the vegetables were fresh and well-cooked, and the crust had just the right amount of crispiness. Every bite was bursting with taste, and I could genuinely tell that care had gone into the preparation.

What made the experience even better was the outstanding customer service. I want to give a special shout-out to Mr. Arpit, the manager at Domino's. He was not only polite and professional but went above and beyond to ensure that my order was perfect. It’s rare to come across someone so dedicated and passionate about delivering a great customer experience. His warm attitude and attention to detail truly made a difference.

Thank you, Domino’s, and thank you Mr. Arpit, for making this one of the best pizza experiences I’ve ever had. Highly recommend to anyone looking for both great food and excellent service!“

“Lighting and decor is really nice in the restaurant, and service is great. Got the potato, ground beef and bacon soup, it was not bad, a little too salty for my liking personally, the complementary focaccia was a nice touch. Got the cheese pizza with salami, it was pretty standard and my friend got the scallop + shrimp pesto, it was pretty good.“

“The services were amazing and the manager came to our table to say hi and make sure we were happy. Such a good chicken sandwich wow“

“The food here is always awesome. The handmade noodles (la mein), the cumin beef, the vegetable soup, the mapo doufu (Mrs Po's Tofu/Pockmarked lady bean curd, a dish that has history of several hundred years from Chengdu), the Sichuan (Chinese spelling of Szechuan) noodles, ...

If you don't mind some flavor, there's not much you can go wrong with at this shop. One other person has mentioned the food is greasy. That's not accurate. A lot of it's oily, not greasy. It's Sichuan food, and that's normal for Sichuan food; it allows the flavor to spread throughout the food.

The beef cuts they use are catered more for an Asian taste. They're chewy and fatty so as to impart the most amount of flavor.

I've been going to this place regularly since it opened because it's right next door to our office. I've never once had a visit where I had to wait a long time for food. The other fellow that had to wait a long time for food must have just hit them on a really bad day or something. The longest I've had to wait is 15 to 20 minutes, and that was on a super busy day before covid hit for the pineapple fried rice.

They also have another location on Dundas just east of Hurontario. Hamilton is their second location.

This shop is in my top three Chinese restaurants in Hamilton, and quite possibly my number one. My favorite dish here is the dumplings and chili oil. BEST DUMPLINGS EVER!

Added picture of pot stickers...they were so good, I didn't think to take a picture until they were almost gone!“

“Hands down the best restaurant i've been to, not only is the menu extremely extensive but you cook everything yourself to your own preference...“

“Best food I've ever had my 17 year old loves the sauce ya put on rice,so healthy and fresh definitely recommend Tom yum soup.I always try something different there.Great people“

“I get pizza from here for my board game night and it’s always a hit with my friends! The pizza always tastes great! The garlic sauce is also delicious. Definitely recommend trying this place out.
Toppings are fresh, cheese is good, crust is crisp and not too thick.
If you order ahead of time on Skip and you choose 6:45-7pm for pickup (for example), it’ll be ready at exactly 6:45. So just be aware! The pizza is definitely best when it’s piping hot.
Eventually I’ll have to try other items off their menu!“

“Really delicious food
My daughter loved the Mac and cheese with bacon
And the chicken pad thai was delicious

We also had the coconut snow ball desert was was also delicious and a great way to end the meal.

The chef spoke with us to ask how the meal was and she said everything is homemade and only cooked when ordered and you could definitely tell because it was all excellent home cooked food that you can tell was made with passion and love.“

“We had excellent service tonight. Juliana was so nice and such a people person. Sure went out i ok f her way to make us feel taken care of. Service was exceptional.“
