We chose Bellona - College after reading about this restaurant's positive reviews and it did no disappoint. From the moment we arrived at the Restaurant we greeted so warmly. We asked to change our table and it was done so without any fuss. Even though we were early we were seated immediately. The service was excellent. The staff polite and attentive without being intrusive, going above and beyond to provide a wonderful dining experience. I cannot say enough about the food and drinks.. The food was delicious and fresh with great menu choices. Thank you for such a great evening.

We absolutely loved La Vecchia! Our server Sophie was incredible and such a joy to chat with. She helped us pair a bottle of wine with our meal, and gave us food recommendations based on our dietary preferences. The food was fantastic too. We tried two pastas, both very flavourful and well seasoned. For dessert, we had the tiramisu, and it was fantastic. The gentleman (who I assume is the owner) was very kind and funny and constantly came to check on us to ensure we were having a good time. One of the most fun and tasty Italian spots I have been to in a minute. Will absolutely be coming back!
