My fiance and I were in North Bay for a couple of days while she was on business. We were staying at the comfort inn, and were looking for good restaurants in the immediate area for lunches and dinners. The reviews were very good fr this restaurant so we wanted to give it a try. We went around 5:30 as... More

My girl friend took me here about a month ago and it was a great experience. The staff was nice, the drinks were good, and the food was excellent. I have only been to North Bay a handful of times but this is the best restaurant I have been to there by far! Make a reservation! Cheers

Pleasant décor and ambience. Food quality above average but not particularly special. Service was good.

Seven of us visited Saturday night for supper. Nice table in the back with good service, almost too friendly. Antipasto plate was very good with a nice assortment of meats, cheeses and olives. Bread was excellent. My calamari was just OK. Ate it all but nothing to write home about. The main plates were very generous and tasty. Would go... More

Only had the breakfasts, but the eggs were perfect both times. I would have preferred Canadian bacon with the eggs Benny, but the sausages were tasty and everything was hot and cooked perfectly. As well, the service was also very good and quick, thanks to the waitress (even thogh she had several groups both visits!).

It may be a surprise to find a gem of an authentic Italian restaurant inside a Best Western hotel in a small Northern Ontario city, BUT this is worth visiting! The menu offers delicious options at very reasonable prices. Having been to Rome and sampled some "real" Italian meals, I believe that this little restaurant offers authentic tasting and delicious...

I love Italian, and this restaurant did not disappoint. The food was fresh and well-prepared. The service was quick and very friendly. The wine was pricey, but it is a hotel restaurant. It's worth a stop!

Service ( as in the rest of the hotel) was friendly & efficient. For a small in-venue restaurant the Menu offered a good range of options.

We were a very late arrival for dinner, as we just had a very bad experience at a different restaurant where we finally got up & walked out. We had returned to the hotel to check on our puppy & thought we would try the dining room to see if they could squeeze us in since it is Valentines day... More
