    Decent place which seems to do more takeout than dine in. The bruschetta was not good as the bread was very thick and not grilled. The tomatoes were also massive so it was a massive mess. The sausage pasta is like a pressed Italian sausage which is very odd. The chicken Marsala was very good but could have used some more flavor. All in all an okay place to go but we have had much better authentic Italian elsewhere.

    I have lived nearby for 9 years and can’t believe I didn’t know this place existed. The food is fantastic and not ridiculously priced for the area and what you are getting. My panini was amazing and had the most unique potato salad I have ever had. It was really good. My friend had a panini that was fantastic and he said he and his buddy got calzones last time which were good too. I guess my wife has been wanting to go for a while. I will be back very soon! Be prepared to pay a 3% fee to use a credit card. Somewhat unique for a restaurant and the owner was ornery about it too. All in all, fantastic!

    Great experience! The staff were extremely friendly even during a very busy dinner rush. The wait was a little longer than usual, but was due to a printer error that put the staff behind. With that unfortunate event they still provided great service and were attending every table as quickly as possible. The food was well worth the wait! I got the vodka pasta with shrimp, and it was a 10/10 dish. If we are ever in the area for another tournament we are definitely stopping in again!

    I kind of hate writing reviews based on service because I know peoples experience and tolerance for this are different.... But this place is actually ridiculous. We placed our order online, husband arrived at estimated pick up time... order wasn't ready. Asked numerous times and kept being told the food was almost ready. Finally an hour after order was supposed to be ready he was informed that the kitchen forgot to make our food. Husband tried to talk to owner about the possibility of a discount for our inconvenience and husband received a dressing down lecture about tolerance of mistakes and an interrogation about his line of work. Food was also just not good. We got pastas and it was edible but not worth the price. Meatballs tasted like chef boyardee, Caesar salad dressing tasted processed. Pasta and sauce could have come from Costco. Not sure why the positive stars from others but we certainly won't be back.

    I ordered the combo which is full sandwich and Italian potato salad and the sandwich was very fresh and delicious. The pizza looks amazing and they have large selection of pasta and chicken dishes as well. Go up to counter order food, get a number and they bring food to your table. No waitresses needed.

    Went there for lunch with some colleagues, hadn’t been there in forever since Covid and working from home. Got the Italian Beef Spicy combo with Chicken Noodle soup. The food was tremendous as always. Too many good options, always makes ordering difficult haha. The wood fired pizza is always great as well. One thing that I need to try is the Calzone. The person at the table next to me ordered one and it looked delicious. The staff in there is the best as well, always so nice and treat you like family. If you are in the area, this is a must stop!

    There were stuffed peppers, tiramisu, veggie lasagna, cheese lasagna, and meat lasagna in the refrigerator case by the cash register. We liked the meat lasagna (which takes an hour to bake). The tiramisu was also very good. The arancini that we ordered for take-out came with a small container of marinara sauce.

    First time customer here, and this is a MUST TRY!! It’s all about good vibes, good food, and good service. I found this restaurant to be very authentic and welcoming. The vino was delicious and paired well with my meal. This place has something for everyone, and honestly, I will certainly be back for more. They are, of course, known for their pizza, but If thought to switch it up a bit and got Alfredo pasta! They’ve earned my highest recommendation.

    I ordered Bontà for the first time tonight using Grub Hub. I got the Quattro Formaggi Pizza. When the driver arrived he had the wrong food. When I let him know it was the wrong order, he replied with, that's what they gave me, call the restaurant and he left. When I called the restaurant, I spoke to a very nice young man, who confirmed what was ordered vs what I received, was very apologetic and patched me to the manager. She as well, was very apologetic and offered to bring us our pizza. She arrived quickly, with our pizza and apologized again and was very pleasant. I am very impressed with Bontà and how they handled things, and the pizza was delicious. Iwill 100% be ordering from Bontà again in the future!

    This place is so good! We started with aranchini. Then had three sandwich combos, one caprese and one meatball, both with soup. The chicken lemon soup (Saturday) was amazing too! Will definitely be back and can't wait to try other dishes.

    Really liked this place! The food was delicious and a good portion. It’s a little bit on the pricier side, but the dinners also include a soup. Wines are also affordable and delicious. Service was friendly and the owner was also friendly and helpful. Will be back!

    Good Italian style deli food. It was a little chilly in the restaurant when I was there. Otherwise, a nice place and decent food. I had a taste for a meatball sandwich and found their sandwich was good but I would have preference the cheese which was just draped over the sandwich cold to have been melted a little.

    This is a really great Italian place. We had sandwiches/panini and it was very tasty and very large portions with soup. There is plenty of space to sit inside the restaurant. Service is fast and very friendly. While there also heard that there pizza is really good. Definitely must try.

    Lovely place, food is gorgeous and delicious! We also had the privilege of being assisted by the owners daughter and she just wonderful as well.

  • 4/5 Gwendolyn E. 2 years ago on Google
    Love their pizza and calamari! The dough can get a bit soggy in the box, especially near the middle of the pizza, but I don’t mind that as this is some of the best pizza I have experienced in the US. The sauce they make is light, tangy and rich in fresh tomato flavor. We’ll have to try their pastas next. Prices are affordable for the size as well. Definitely recommend and would give a 4.5 if Google allowed half stars.

    Locally-owned restaurant with great customer service. The food is first rate, made to order with quality ingredients. Portion sizes are generous. All of us in our party of four needed boxes to take home leftovers. Coke products served here. Wood fired oven in use here. Prices are fair. If you like quality Italian food you'll love this place.

    I’ve been dying for Bontas bruschetta’ for almost a year now. $5 for “half” is a great price. Their half is huge. Add in a $5 aricini and you have the perfect lunch for $10!!!

    Cute little pizzeria tucked back in a strip mall. Blink and you'll miss it driving by. Popular at lunchtime. Huge assortment of various freshly made stone fired pizzas.

    Came in while in town for a work event. They accommodated our party of 20, stayed open after closing time for us. Amazing food! Amazing staff! Great experience! 11/10 recommend! Regina pizza was OUTSTANDING!

    From out of town and got Bontà as a suggestion from my hotel. Did not disappoint one bit! Staff were so friendly and welcoming. Food was out to me fairly quick and tasted amazing! I got the pepperoni pizza and Italian Wedding soup

    I frequent here often for lunch (dine-in) and have found the pizzas and calzones to be really good. The Margherita pizza, Pepperoni pizza, and Buffalo pizza are all good. I tried a lunch combo twice now to change it up, and found it to be just okay. Soup is usually quite salty and the sandwiches are nothing special. I decided to try a pasta last night per a friend's recommendation and was disappointed. A gnocchi pasta with no protein added came out to be $24 and change. The pasta came with a soup (salty as usual) and a side of plain bread. Portion is small and gnocchi themselves are nothing special. While the sauce was flavourful, the gnocchi tasted much like what you get from the grocery store. They also started adding on a 3% credit card fee in the last 6-9 months. I haven't had anything that has tasted "bad" here, but I think I'll stick to the pizzas and calzones moving forward.

    I ordered the Pizza Margherita and it was delicious. It came out perfect, the top had plenty of fresh mozzarella, and the bottom was nice and crispy!
