Prosciutto and arugula salad
Catherine S.

Cute little spot for an ok Italian food. It's located on a main floor, in the retail portion of a condo building across from the Bayview Village, so the parking was a bit of an issue as there were limited spots behind the building. Apparently, there is more parking in the underground garage, but I can't speak to that as I did not park underground. The stylish restaurant is laid out comfortably with a cafe section in the front and the dining section adjacent to it. There were only a handful of tables (maybe 10?), so if you're planning to visit for a weekend dinner, I would recommend making a reservation. There is also a small patio that had 3-4 tables. We dropped in with an impromptu OpenTable reservation one night and sampled various pasta dishes, Margherita pizza, a couple of salads and shared a bottle of their house red. The salads were good, but on the small side even when we upgraded them for an entree size and we were glad to have ordered 2 to share between 4 people. The Margherita pizza was ok, but my 12 yo would have preferred more cheese on it as she was getting just the crust and the sauce bites for a good portion of it. The teen appreciated the creamy chicken alfredo. The pesto & burata pasta had a good flavour base but the coldness from the burata spreading over the pasta was not my favorite way to eat it. The spaghetti and meatballs was our least favorite (last to arrive as the waiter forgot about this order) as it was something that I could have just whipped up at home. The noodles were overcooked for my preference and the dish was just meh. Their lasagna, however, was the star of the show as the soft tower of well-cooked noodles were layered with delicious meat sauce, cheese and topped with generous shavings of parmesan. Definitely right up there with one of the best lasagnas I've eaten in Toronto. We didn't love the house red which was too young for my liking, but that was just our preference. The wait staff here are friendly but forgetful, as we needed to remind him that one of our mains was missing. Also forgot to refill our water and bring out an extra setting for our group. He was apologetic and the kitchen brought out the missing pasta as fast as they could, but we were almost half way through our dinner when the last main came out. Perhaps these are just growing pains as the restaurants is still relatively new. I definitely see good potential here, but this visit was sadly lacking. I will return to try out other menu when I'm back in the area.

Finally made it to BÒN Italia Trattoria & Caffè, located in the Bayview area just across from Bayview Village. I'd passed by many times and was drawn in by its elegant cafe look--so I had to give it a try! Dine-in experience: 1. Crostini - Tasty and nicely done 2. Chicken Alfredo - Possibly more authentic in flavour, but felt ordinary and not very memorable 3. Latte al Pistacchio - Beautiful presentation, but too sweet for my taste; I prefer a more balanced coffee-to-milk ratio Takeaway visits: Croissant with Prosciutto - A favourite of mine! Delicious and something I'd happily reorder I'd love to come back to try more of the starters--they seem well-crafted and full of flavour Interior, Seating, Lighting, Pricing: Elegant and comfortable space with chic decor and a modern Italian café vibe, reasonable price for the experience, around $55 for the dishes I ordered and mentioned. However, the table for two was quite small and seating felt a little cramped between other diners--didn't feel very cozy for a date or quiet chat Overall, a pleasant place to sit, but better suited for solo visits or casual coffee catch-ups Overall Value: If you're a fan of Italian flavours and lighter fare like crostini or savoury pastries, this spot has charm. While I didn't enjoy the pistachio latte (too sweet and not enough coffee character), it might appeal to others who like dessert-style drinks. Tip: Try takeaway if you want more space, and don't miss the croissant with prosciutto! Have you been to BÒN Italia? What's your go-to order--or is there something I should try next time?

Margherita Pinsa and Caprese Pasta
Partha M.

We came here for summerlicious. Food was delicious and service was friendly. Serving sizes were generous. Quite vegetarian friendly. We ordered the Frozen Burrata salad and Tomato bisque for appetizers, and the Caprese pasta and Margherita Pinsa (not Pizza but almost the same). Waiting for dessert now. All for $35 per person with the summerlicious promotion.

I was in the area looking for a cafe to grab a coffee in between running errands, and came across Bon Italia. Service was friendly, and the cafe was clean & tidy. It wasn't too busy or loud inside, which made for a great environment to do some light reading or have a conversation. My cappuccino was excellent - the espresso roast had enough body without being too bitter or acidic, and it was lovely to sip and enjoy with the complimentary small biscotto. Looking forward to my next visit to try their food!

Made a reservation and when we arrived it wasn't busy. The table reserved for two had one chair that was quite dirty and stained. Not sure why they thought this was ok for customers to use. Personally I thought it was gross that they couldn't do a quick check to make sure that the chairs were clean enough to sit on especially when it wasn't busy. Otherwise the food was alright. The burrata salad was my favourite and the spaghetti from the pesto burrata pasta wouldn't been better if it was al dente but it was fully cooked. My husband rated the pizza 7/10. Parking is moderately convenient. Worth a try but I wouldn't go back.

Pistachio latte
Jayme H.

Only 4 reviews on Yelp? This my friends is the definititon of a hidden gem. A coworker and I made plans to meet up and we found this spot on Yelp. They have free wifi, a full menu, and all the coffee we could want so we set the plan in motion. We arrived early on a week day and easily grabbed a table near an outlet so we had plenty of juice as we worked for a few hours. The service was friendly from the jump and our server offered great recommendations on what to order. I went with their pistachio latte and a pistachio croissant. I'm a big fan of the nut so if I can enjoy it two different ways at once, I'm down. The latte was smooth and creamy and the presentation was beautiful. I loved that the cup was rimmed in pistachio crumbs, as I nibbled on them as I sipped my drink. The croissant was everything I wanted in a croissant and more. And I say that being a bit of a croissant snob. I love them and have high standards. This one was stuffed with a pistachio cream that was to die for. I'm still dreaming of it a week later. If I lived near by I would definitely be a regular. I highly suggest paying them a visit.

Cafe Latte

New cafe spot opened at my friend's community, thanks my friend recommended to me, just opposite at bayveiw village Super cozy interior design, comfy seating area, all staff was very friendly and helpful Tried their cafe latte, looks so pretty, definitely back again

Pasta sacchetti
Kitman L.

Me and my family went for Italian food, and it was delicious! The cappuccino was pretty inexpensive at 4.75$ and the pastas were seasoned very well. We also tried a small charcuterie board that we split together which was absolutely stunning. We requested a to-go box because me and my daughter aren't big eaters, and the servers kindly packed it away for us. The restaurant has a cozy but also modern feel to it. The colours used are bright and darker shades of red, with hints of purple. They have a smaller amount of seating so come earlier when eating in a group. Delicious!

Butternut squash soup
Bonnie W.

This is a new coffee shop in the neighbourhood and we got some takeout. The staff was friendly and the shop was spacious. The pistachio croissants was flaky and tasty! The breakfast croissant didn't have much filling and looked kind of sad. Lastly the almond croissant was dry and hard.

This place gets a solid 4.5/5 for its authentic southern Italian food and very friendly & attentive…read moreservice. It has a very homey, old-school Italian American restaurant ambience - the opposite of the stylish, hipster or touristy restaurant vibe. Apparently this restaurants gets a lot of regulars, and I could see why. As soon as you walk in, you feel like you're transported back to the 1960s with the red-and-white checkered tablecloths, red chairs, old-style wax candles, brick walls, and a large black-and-white photo of an Italian family on the wall (perhaps the founder or owner's?). I could see this place being a movie set for films that need an old, classic Italian American restaurant as a setting. In addition to the décor, I love the 1960s music being played in the background. Size-wise, the inside of the restaurant isn't that big so it feels very cozy. It can get very busy and crowded after 5 pm, as most people seem to come here for dinner. We came during lunch hour and we were the only patrons there. The southern Italian touches are very apparent in most of their dishes - with heavy reliance on olive oil, tomato-based sauces (especially in the fish and seafood dishes), fresh seafood, herbs, peppers, and vegetables such as eggplant. This is in contrast to northern Italian cuisine that is characterized by rich, creamy dishes using butter, lard, and cheeses, and puts more emphasis on rice, polenta, and meat-heavy dishes (where as seafood is more prevalent in the south). Dishes that we tried: 1) Baccala (Pan-Seared Black Cod) - This was the BEST and my favourite dish here. The black cod had a crispy exterior and flaky interior, and came with roasted mini potatoes and mixed vegetables (zucchini, red bell pepper, Brussels sprouts, eggplant) roasted with garlic -- such a well-rounded and wholesome dish. The roasted mini potatoes were so flavourful, and the vegetables had a nice char. I asked for the puttanesca sauce on the side, as the fish was already flavourful on its own without the sauce. But the sauce was better than I expected - it contained actual whole chunks of cherry tomatoes and olives. 2) Steamed Mixed Fish & Seafood in Tomato Sauce - This dish wasn't on the website menu, but it was on the printed menu in the restaurant. It reminded me of cioppino (Italian-American mixed seafood stew with tomato sauce, herbs, and spices). It came presented as wrapped inside aluminum tin foil, which the server then opened in front of us on the table with steam coming out. The fish was salmon, and seafood consisted of mussels and shrimps. This dish was just alright. For almost $50, there wasn't much seafood. 3) Pizza Funghi - I liked the very thin and crispy crust, and the sliced roasted mushrooms as toppings, but I wasn't a fan of the "truffled honey" they added on top of the pizza. I didn't taste any truffle, and the honey made it very sweet. Not a fan of sweet pizza. 4) SIDES: Rapini, Brussels Sprouts, Mushrooms - They got bonus points for being able to customize the sides. They didn't have asparagus that day, so they substituted it for steamed Brussels sprouts with garlic instead - which was heavenly. The Brussels sprouts weren't overcooked at all, and they were generous with the garlic (anything with extra garlic gets extra thumbs up from me). The rapini came out chopped with a side of lemon wedge. Mushrooms weren't on the menu as a side, but we asked and they were able to make a simple side of just mushrooms. Overall the vegetables got 9/10. The chef was very friendly as he came out and talked to us. The server was extremely attentive. Great service overall.

Nice local Italian restaurant that is enjoyed by us locals as well as those who come down for shows…read moreat the St Lawrence ctr for the arts and the Meridian Hall as well as sports fan here for games. They have a great stock of wines and an impressive drink list that we don't get to enjoy as we can't handle drinks these days. We do enjoy the food and the friendly service immensely tho. Lots of options for shareable apps; excellent options on pizzas and pastas; and I am always impressed with their mains (as someone that has to limit carbs, options can be limited at some Italian restos). They are also understanding of reasonable diet requests. They have gluten-free options as well. It is more of a "quiet" restaurant in terms of the clientele chatter, at least for the times I was there, so I can hear the music they play ("oldies"!!!!)
