We scoped out a few places and landed here for a change from the typical pub vibe, Italian pasta joints around the corner, or chains like Jack Astor's. We beat the lunch crowd, arriving just before 2 PM. Service was great--we were seated immediately and ordered a few tapas: some roasted Brussels sprouts and a selection of meat options including Persian BBQ lamb, achiote grilled chicken, and sticky pork ribs. The chicken was my least favorite, though it wasn't bad. Everything else was absolutely delicious and flavorful. I'd really like to come back another time for proper drinks--they have an impressive wine list and a nice selection of sangrias that caught my eye. Definitely worth a return visit if you're passing through Kingston.

Our party of four began with cocktails, warm olives, and focaccia, followed by the root vegetable salad, scallops, another round of that irresistible focaccia, the cod, and finally the lamb dish. Every course was exceptional--beautifully prepared, perfectly balanced, and absolutely delicious. We couldn't manage dessert this time, but that just gives us the perfect reason to return.

What an incredible experience. The food was on point, delicious and the perfect quantity.

And they offer halal options to boot! It may sound hyperbolic, but this was as perfect a dining experience as I can remember having. Will make it a point to come back here next time in town, and will be my first recommendation to others. Special thanks to Valeria and the young friendly gentleman (I am sorry the name is escaping me ) for providing such great service! Bravo!

I came here a few years ago on a girls trip and have been thinking about the pizza here ever since!…read moreSpecifically the Nona Mela pizza, which has apple butter, roasted garlic, cheddar, caramelized onions, and blackened chicken. Normally I would never get this type of pizza as I love a red sauce, but this was recommended by one of my friend's friends so we tried it. And I'm so glad we did! This pizza is amazing and the flavours are prefectly balanced. Fast forward to this year, I was on a road trip with my husband and my dog and I just HAD to have this pizza again. We ordered the Nona Mela and the Citta pizza (the Citta has prosciutto and brie), and they were both delicious! The Nona Mela was especially good, and my husband agreed that it was a lot better than what he expected. We couldn't finish the two pizzas between us, so we brought the leftovers home and reheated it two days later. Somehow, the pizza was even better than the day of! We actually ordered an extra Nona Mela to bring home to one of my friends who was on the girls trip a few years ago, as she also has been thinking of this pizza. That's how good it is! The pizza is on the pricier side though, but very worth. We sat on the patio since we had a dog and the waiters/waitresses were very nice and gave my dog a water bowl.

We found them on Google. It's a tiny little place in a strip mall in kanata. We were pleasantly pleased when we called and they had a table. When you walk in, you are greeted with a smile and a welcome both times. It is comfortable and beautifully decorated. It's very classy but you can also come in casually dressed. Their menu is diverse, and everything I've had both times here has been beyond delicious. We usually try a few appetizers to share, dinner, and dessert. Whatever brand of prosecco they have, there is the beat I've tasted in a restaurant. The bartender/waitress/owner is super friendly. Both times, we had such a nice chat with her, and you just get these genuinely nice vibes. I've left happy and relaxed both times and have recommended this restaurant to so many people. The tataki, tartars, and fruit and cheese platter appetizers are really good. You will leave pleasantly satiated.

We had the endive and blood orange salad, the leek and shrimp salad and three of the four pastas on the menu after our server suggested that rather than one full order and one half order we could sample three.

Service was really friendly. Their brunch are small sharing plates, like tapas. They recommend 2 per person, but we just shared 3 between two people and it was enough. We got the chicken and waffles, duck breast with egg and potatoes, and French toast. The chicken and waffles came with sautéed corn and kale and hollandaise sauce. It was tasty, but there was also a lot of different flavours going on at the same time. The duck breast was cooked medium but it was a little bit on the dry side. It came with roasted carrot and bok choy, an egg, and potatoes. Lastly, the French toast was yummy, with chantilly cream and berries.
