OLIVEA REVIEWS
Recently was invited to a company dinner being held at Olivea restaurant. It is located in the heart of downtown Kingston with parking located within a 2 minute walk. The restaurant has a great vibe, beautiful decor and a great outdoor patio area as well. The staff were very friendly, provided great service and the turnaround time on our orders was very quick. We ended spending a few hours there and did not even realize where the time went. The menu has a wide selection of options, there is something for everyone. My favourite were the desert options. A definite must visit when you are in Kingston, you wont be disappointed.
Pesto for vegetarians and a pile of seafood for seafood lovers on their pasta. Amazing tasting dishes. Thanks
Amazing food. We ate here for lunch before returning home after spending the weekend in Kingston. We are coming back to Kingston in April and will be going back to Olivea for dinner next time.

EAST SIDE MARIO'S REVIEWS
Our large family recently had dinner at this location and had a fantastic experience with our server Kasey. While restaurant was very busy, Kasey was extremely efficient and explained all the steps to ordering for a large party so the whole process went quickly and smoothly. The food and drinks came out promptly and everything was delicious. While it was busy, we did not feel rushed at any point, and Kasey took the time to chat with our party and make us feel welcome. Another staff member also came over to congratulate one of our family members on a milestone that we were celebrating. Great experience overall.
Always a great selection & good prices. My wife and I were sat right away by the bar. My wife had cheese capaletti and i the chicken parm. it was cooked well, large portion. My wedding soup , delish. Our server was spectacular and we had an over the top experience. Her boyfriend the bartender was amazing and prepared all our dri gs spectacular. We had such a great Valentines day.
Kyle C. offered us the best service we've had in a long time. He went over and above every step of the way. I cannot say enough good things about him and I hope this finds its way to him and his manager. I would go back just for his service it was so good. So pleasant to deal with and an ideal employee. My family hopes to see him there again!

BELLA BISTRO REVIEWS
Our meal was fantastic. Sam, our server was knowledgeable, friendly and lovely. Restaurant was full and busy but still managed to make you feel like the only people there. Vegetarian options: Good choices Parking: A little tricky, but worth figuring out.
Great Kingston restaurant. Dine in, takeout, it's always consistent and delicious. Their pizza is fantastic, and I believe their arancini balls are the best around! Kid friendly, you won't be dissapointed.
Bella's Bistro is a great location for smaller family get togethers, or date night! It has a some indoor seating, in the warmer weather there is outdoor seating too. The food is always flavourful and perfectly portioned. Delicious treats, a must visit if you're in the mood for some upscale Italian. Try to make reservations, but the friendly staff will try to accommodate you if there isn't a reservation.
