Second, the staff, friendly, considerate and responsive. I also appreciated not feeling like I was only asked how things were when my mouth was full. Often a issue at many restaurants I've been too. Third, the food, well it was tasty, filling, a true delight to the palette. After finishing dinner we discussed the need to return and order more things from the menu. Overall it was a true dining experience that's worthwhile to experience multiple times. The menus only issue was it was filled with mouthwatering options.

They have a lovely bunch of options for pastas (pennes, spaghettini, and linguini's). We ordered the colossal chicken parm which came with fettucini underneath. It was huge! The chicken tasted alright and the sauce was very tomato-y and fresh. It was really salty though and mushy (soggy breading and slightly over cooked pasta). We also got the lemon shrimp spaghettini. This one was far less salty - almost too bland, but I enjoyed the lemony flavour. The shrimp was perfectly cooked!!! This pasta was also a much better texture. Pretty great to have an Italian place with some fresh sauces.

Wow, seriously loved this place. It's too bad it's so far away from downtown but worth the drive…read more Stopped in for lunch yesterday. No reservations, and it was busy, but we were given a table right away. Wine came right away while we checked out the menu and we're given recommendations by the lovely women sitting at the next table, who apparently were there once a week. We started with the grilled calamari and garlic bread with cheese (any excuse for melted cheese). I've never had calamari like it. First of all it was the most incredibly tender calamari I've ever had. Melted in your mouth. Dish had a bit of spice with peas, corn, grilled red onion, and pancetta. Excellent. I'd go back just for that. Bread took awhile to get to us and it was forgettable. Way to garlic buttery, which means it was wet and the cheese wasn't browned enough. I'd pass next time. Split the warm mushroom salad. Loved it. A ton of fried mushrooms on spinach with a warm dressing. Not sure what those croutons were but I'd also pass on them. Then we both had a chicken pizza with pesto and roasted peppers. It was perfect. The right charring with large grilled pieces of chicken breast. Loved it. We were stuffed by the time we had 2 pieces, packed up the rest for home. No room for dessert but the selection was great. Especially the selection of gelato. Next time.

That's just the weirds stuff that I like... the FOCACCIA -- they're baking it right there! There's only two sandwiches. This is a GOOD THING... meat or veggie.

This all before mentioning their namesake dish... pasta... six feet away from the baking, a lady pulling noodles out of a pasta machine, which I'll have to experience next time.

Since moving to Toronto, I miss Pasta Genova deeply…read more They have some of the very best focaccia anywhere, which alone is enough to recommend them. But they also have nearly peerless homemade pastas (of which the smoked paprika linguine is my favourite, though they often only make it by request), spectacular prepared sauces, and regular specials on essentials that will get you things like premium olive oil or balsamic vinegar* at supermarket prices. * Genova is one of the few places I've regularly found a variety of pure, aged balsamic vinegar free from sulphites. AWESOME. So, here's some tips: 1) They ONLY TAKE CASH, no exceptions. I once witnessed a woman curse them out for this fact and declare she'd tell all her friends not to shop there; when she left, everyone in the tiny shop, myself included, burst out laughing, and one of the guys declared "we can barely keep up with the customers we have, we don't need her!". Very jovial, and they took her bitch-fest so perfectly in-stride they could give lessons on how to turn the other cheek. 2) If you need a quick lunch, pick up a focaccia sandwich -- they're about $4 if memory serves, with salami, lettuce, tomato, and mustard, and they're fantastic! If you want to suddenly realize you're hungry, walk down Wellington around 11:00am for the wafting glory of baking focaccia and just try to resist the pull. 3) When ordering pasta instead of ordering by weight, order by serving size. Say things like "I'm having a dinner party for six, four big eaters and two regular", and they'll give you an incredibly accurate amount of what you need, plus a little extra (because people WILL want seconds, believe me!). 4) Their homemade calabrese olives are out of this world good. They use a puree of oil-marinated chilis, oregano, fennel (I think), and oil, and very, very good sun cured olives... and damn, these things are so good I eat them until I hurt. 5) Ask what's on special, or if they have any leftovers. I've scored half servings of pasta, day old (but still delicious) focaccia, and nearly expired but still awesome cheese for cheap. Finally, I'll also mention that the staff here are fabulous -- very nice people who greet with a smile, always bid a good day, and work diligently to help provide you with exactly what you need to hit a homerun with whatever it is you're cooking. Only downside: Toronto Maple Leaf fans. Egads!

When my wife and I were going to be making a random stop in Belleville for a couple nights, I did…read moremy thing and looked up what to do and eat while in town. I'm from an even smaller town, so I'm used to short lists for those things, but I was glad when I randomly came across The Lark. It wasn't on one of the review sites or a travel blog, but just simply perusing the downtown landscape on Google Maps. Their space on Bridge Street is airy and spacious, but the small footprint keeps things intimate, with a stunning bar that beckons to slake your thirst. Although the restaurant's name isn't on-the-nose Italian, the menu is very much so. With a handful each of primi, secondi and dolci, chances are that you won't suffer from choice paralysis while ordering, but what they have is nonetheless quite enticing. Burrata is always an easy choice, especially at a restaurant like The Lark where you know you're going to get good quality cheese and accoutrements. They didn't disappoint! The milky, semi-solid cheese paired well with tender hunks of sweet butternut squash and the crisp savouriness of fried sage. Pomegranate seeds and hazelnuts brought some sweetness and crunch, while house-made sourdough was good enough to be eaten on its own. For my main, I went with the beef cheek pappardelle. The succulent shreds of cheek took the place of ground beef in the rich Bolognese, and my taste buds were all the better for it. The fresh pappardelle was luxuriously tender, with its delicate folds sopping up all that delicious sauce. Rounded out with parm and basil, it shows that you don't have to recreate the wheel to make an excellent dish. My wife's brown butter gnocchi was no slouch either, with a decadent cream sauce, and nice hint of char to the lovely and light pasta pillows. Not to be beaten, the apple cobbler was absolutely amazing. Definitely sized for two, but no judgment if you solo it, every part was fall dessert perfection. Service was wonderfully knowledgeable on the food and drink side, as well as friendly and easygoing. I was getting strong owner-vibes, but I'm too lazy to do the amount of Googling required for a confirm. The Lark is getting done dirty by the algorithm on the major review sites and if they won't loudly announce their possession of the title as "best restaurant in Belleville", I sure will.
