Pomona

Two of my children were in town and I'd heard great things, so I figured we'd give Pomona a try.
Brilliant decision. It's a lovely, small restaurant with very friendly staff and excellent food. My children, in particular, raved about our appetizer (but, alas, I can't remember what it was).
I'm a vegetarian and it was easy for me to find something to eat, too.
Highly recommended.

Many businesses could take a lesson or two from the owners of Pomona; guests are made to feel welcome, valued, and appreciated. Lisa and her staff are attentive to their customers and their needs. The food is always incredible, regardless of what is ordered. Can not say enough good about this establishment!
AMAZING! AMAZING! AMAZING!
(I always forget to take pictures of the food because it looks so good that I dive right in!)

What a fantastic dining experience! If you want truly authentic Italian food, you must dine at Pomona. Lisa and her husband are the ultimate restauranteurs, they make you feel welcome from the moment you walk in. The dishes tasted just like my nonna used to make, it was an absolute feast for the senses. So much of the food is sourced locally, and you can literally taste the love in each dish.

We started with the burrata, melanzane and shrimp for our appetizers, pasta bolognese, pasta alla genovese and mushroom marsala for our mains, and torta alla nonna and crème brûlée for dessert. Everything was packed with flavor and cooked perfectly. I had the added bonus of enjoying a wonderful Calabrese conversation with Lisa, a special treat that happens very rarely.

Looking forward to going back and enjoying more fabulous meals and conversations.

A charming & elegant little spot in the heart of Colborne, Ontario. This homey trattoria deserves all the praise when it comes to showcasing their Italian heritage, while still infusing international flavours and using fresh local ingredients.

My wife and I had the wonderful opportunity to enjoy a visit, in between our travel to Toronto from Ottawa. We made reservations online and were able to book for a 6 pm opening on a Sunday evening (Highly recommend making reservations online to ensure seating).

Lisa and her husband (the owners) are the definite heart and soul of this place. We are greeted by Lisa's warm welcome, and felt right at home, as we received more sweet smiles and positive affirmations from the local regular guests dining that evening. We also had the honour of speaking with the brain and hands of this operation, Chef Chelsea, who suggested the amazing specials that we had the pleasure to enjoy during our dinner. Service & Atmosphere a perfect score, 5 out of 5.

We tried 3 different appetizers: an order of their fresh Burrata with broccolini and a honey pepper glaze, their special grilled jumbo black shrimp with white bean puree, and their special ribs with ragu polenta. All the dishes definitely held their end of the bargain. Only suggestion would be maybe having a side of that honey pepper sauce for the Burrata and bread, since it was so good. For our main dishes, my wife had the chicken marsala and I had their special beef pasta. Just as the appetizers, these dishes did not disappoint and filled our bellies with all things wonderful. We topped of the night with a lemon creme brulee to share since we were too full for any other dishes. Food: a whopping 5 out of 5.

Overall, an unforgettable 5 star experience and will definitely come back for another visit when we're in this part of town again.

What a delightful spot! We came on a Friday evening in early December. A reservation is probably a good idea as there is limited seating. Our server Meagan was super friendly and efficient. Food portions were very generous. Everything was delicious, made with fresh ingredients in house, served piping hot. Desserts are made in house too. There is a limited wine list but with a good variety of price - something for every budget. This place is brand new and will quickly be the best place in town. Get here quick!
