BÒN ITALIA TRATTORIA & CAFFÈ

Food was delicious. Pasta was not heavy and authentically flavorful. Restaurant is more like a cafe, very casual, despite the high priced food. For the prices, I would expect a more high end establishment. Parking is difficult to locate and navigate to the restaurant, feels like it's for the condos residents and walk ins. Park at the back of the building either in the underground visitor lot or the few above ground spots. No one answered the intercom for the underground lot but luckily there was a space in the 8 car above ground lot. Walk though the building with little signage to the front where the restaurant is. We were shocked at our bill when it arrived. Would come again for the food but the price and parking situation make it a no for our group.

Back for a 2nd time, food just as delicious and fresh as the first time. It was nice to enjoy their reasonably priced lunch menu, we enjoyed the Sicilian (one with turkey and no eggplant) and the Turkey with provolone and jelly. My daughter ordered bow tie pesto pasta di burrata - out of this world fresh and delish! We ordered bruschetta and heated olives/crostini and the maple pecan salad, the dressing was a bit on the sweet side if you don't mind, we found it scrumptious. Desserts were great, cannoli with pistachio filling, chocolate eclair (we think coffee would be better), tiramisu was ok, and best of all of them however was the nutella filled croissant with fresh strawberries, heaven! Happy to go again, and again, and again :-)

Nice venue, nice decor and very good staff. The food could be better and definitely the coffee needs to improve.

Wonderful food and service in a casual modern setting. Just came into the area to visit family from B.C. and discovered this gem for a late night dinner. Highly reccommend!

We stopped by for breakfast and enjoyed the food and service. Three of us enjoyed the salmon sandwich as recommended by the server and the other member had the ratatouile filling, and various good coffee. The presentation of the sandwiches were lovely and so was the taste. Unlike other restaurants that skimp on the protein, the slices of salmon were decent. Also, the volume of the coffee was also decent. In this era of shrinkflation, we did not feel it at this restaurant. So, thanks for serving proper meals and beverages. We look foward to coming back to try out the italian desserts.

We came for dinner but the price is on the high side in my opinion.

The salad - the portion is small but has prosciutto pieces in it and tasted good. The meatball pasta, the meatball tasted homemade and quite natural and I liked it. However, the pasta was one of the worse… it’s too soft (close to being mushy) in my opinion - not al dente at all. Not what I expected. I guess I can give higher ratings if my dishes doesn’t has pasta. But for the two pasta dish we got, the pasta are too soft in both of the dishes. Due to this and the high price, giving a 3 stars max.

Worth mentioning though is the Tiramisu they sell at the counter where u can also order coffee, tastes good, should try.

Terrible service. Told us they will take our order and went on to go laugh with coworkers. Dont go here unless you want to wait 30-40 minutes just to take your order.

The food was amazing, especially the toasted croissant, pistachio croissant, and ricotta cannoli – definitely must-tries! The ricotta cannoli leaves such a beautiful flavor in your mouth – not too sweet, not sour – just perfectly balanced, and definitely something you’ll want to eat again. I’ve tried croissants at many different places, but I can’t believe I missed such a great café right next to my home. The turkey sandwich could’ve used a more ricotta, but everything was still perfect. At the end, they even offered us a creamy coffee, which was such a nice touch. Excellent service, delicious food, and a lovely atmosphere – we’ll definitely be coming back!

Disappointing! Their pasta is really bad. They don’t even have a real kitchen. I ordered a pesto pasta and it came freezing COLD and the portion was so small that it a 5-year old child wouldn’t even feel full from it. Plus there was NO SERVICE at all, no water, no nothing. Outrageous. If you just want a coffee to go then maybe, but for regular food, immediate NO. Do NOT go here.

A fantastic experience in this cozy place with flavors of Italy and Brazil. The friendly Brazilian staff made the experience even more enjoyable. I'm going to become a regular customer!

Really wanted to love this place. The vibe and interior are amazing, and the location couldn’t be better. But the food/coffee experience has been a letdown. First visit, I ordered a pistachio croissant and coffee — croissant came filled with avocado instead of pistachio cream, and the coffee was cold. Gave it another chance (everyone can have an off day), but same thing: cold coffee again, and the caprese croissant actually made me feel sick afterward. Super disappointing considering how nice and clean the space is.
