“It's the best pizza I have ever had. Their in-house sauce is addictive. Their menu is customizable. We ordered 2 pizzas, and both were delicious. For spicy pizza lovers, look for superdynamite or spicy chipotle sauce. Pizza crust and topings were perfectly made. I'll preach this place to my friends who visit Kingston.Vegetarian options: All their pizza's are fully customizable. So you can pick any pizza and replace meat with your favorite vegi toppings. Just ask the server, and they are very helpful.“
“What an absolute gem, hole in the wall, gotta try it of a Restaurant Bistro and Bar.Friendly staff, Emma was our waitress and she helped us with our orders.She was friendly and fully dedicated to Bella Bistro's impeccable quality in service and food.The fact that the restaurant also kept everyone working during COVID, proves the importance of keeping a great workers relationship and happiness with the business.The food didn't take long to cook, started off with a nice B52 coffee, being an Italian special Bistro, coffee is very important and it was perfect.Ordered porc shirt rib starter and a homemade bred plate with homemade butter. As well as a plate of eggplant salad. All was very fresh, hot and delicious.As for the main course, I had the beef short rib with potatoes and a red sauce, melt in your mouth meats and the sauce was rich and a hint of sweet.We've also ordered a quarter lemon chicken, that sits on potatoes and covered with a cheese base white sauce. All in all, an absolute pleasure of a soirée.Be mindful, the plates and meals are no slouch either, large portions on the entrées and main course meals. We didn't have enough space left for cakes....and there's so many choices for desserts.I would recommend Bella Bistro for everyone, would also recommend you'd need to reserve ahead to ensure your seating, it gets very busy.Parking is fairly large, but be mindful that you'll lose some space during winter.Enjoy a night out at Bella Bistro.“
“Food was amazing-delicious as previous! Service was perfect.Big downfall was the atmosphere. My husband and I were there for a significant anniversary. Our table was near the open kitchen entrance floating between two other tables. Staff needed to pass through to get to other tables which definitely impacted the romantic intention of the dinner out. It seems everyone’s voice is spinning around in the room-combine that with the open kitchen/dishes it was very loud. We’re not sure if we’ll return.“
“We moved into the Kingston area a year ago and after a year of settling into the community are now discovering restaurants that truly suit our lifestyleThe Pasta Shelf is a gem !!! And we don’t use that term very much truthfullyWe entertain often, serving a wide range of regional favourites that include great dishes from Italy, India, Thai and others so we do enjoy our experiential palate.We both ordered pizza with red wine and we were very pleased. The pizza dough got high marks as did the toppings. If you enjoy “good value and great taste”, the Pasta Shelf has this hands down accompanied by well trained, conscientious staff.“
“In a city of many very fine restaurants, Olivea is our most frequented restaurant. The food and staff are really great. Unfortunately, last evening a new to us server didn’t seem to appreciate that wine is not a separate course but something to be consumed with the meal. When we ordered our wine, we twice requested that we wanted the wine to come with our first course. Halfway through our first course I was able to catch our server’s eye and pointed out we still did not have our wine. We eventually got the wine but long after our first course was finished.“
“Kudos to kitchen and serving staff for the excellent food and service. Staff were very attentive without being over bearing and seemed genuine in their concern for customer satisfaction. The food was great, this was our second time and we will absolutely return. The birthday cake was delicious.“
“Atmosphere is nice, small and fairly intimate, with moderate noise levels so you can carry on a conversation. My partner and I had pizza and it was good! The service was a little underwhelming. Staff were certainly friendly and professional, but I found it slow from start to finish. Despite having a reservation we waited by the entrance to be seated for almost 10 minutes. Slow to get us menus, then drinks, but pizza came out pretty quick once we ordered. I noted only one server, one bartender, and one person cleaning off tables, and one or Teo cooks. Maybe an extra body floating around last night would've sped things up. However, enjoyed our experience overall and happy to see a nice selection of nonalcoholic beverages! Will definitely be back.“
“The food was absolutely delicious, however, given the price of the meals I didn't expect to sit in such close proximity to other people. It really ruined the experience of our date night (which don't happen very often). I really expected something much more intimate.“
“Love love love Pasta Genova. Always get the ravioli and fresh meat sauce. My 12 year old looks forward to the meal. Focaccia is out of this world and the PLT sandwich is a weekly favourite of mine after a long days work. Only comment I have is that a few times I’ve been there and a lady behind the counter wasn’t very pleasant. Not sure what this is all about as the other staff are usually quite friendly. Other than that I hope this store never closes.“
