Lovely restaurant on the Harbourfront! Kind staff, fantastic selection of dishes, and reasonable prices! My group ordered the Gambero Rose (pasta), Funghi (pasta; vegan), and Calabrese (pizza) to share, as well as a coffee and chocolate cake to end off the night. All food was delicious!

Came here for my birthday and had a great experience! Elliott was a great server, he made us feel special even though he was busy with many other tables. We had the focaccia with honey whipped ricotta to share, and I had the wagyu beef gnocchi for my main. Both were great! I also got a free gelato with sparklers for my birthday. The atmosphere was very nice and elevated with a great view of the lake. Nice, clean bathrooms as well!

I came here for happy hour, and I was surprised by how beautiful this restaurant was right on the water. The decor and aesthetic was absolutely stunning, with breathtaking views that make this spot feel like a hidden gem. We ordered a few appetizers and entrees, and every bite was pure Italian indulgence. The flavors were rich, authentic, and perfectly balanced. The Simona Spritz was also a highlight—so refreshing and perfect for the setting. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking to unwind with great food, drinks, and a spectacular view.

Wow! Every bite melted in my mouth!! Pure perfection! Currently finishing my meal and had to write a review as this was such a pleasant meal especially spending this time with my mom whom never goes out. Our server was Fawaz, very welcoming and knowledgeable! Thank you for the recommendations and attentive service! The hostess was also pleasant... the restaurant is beautiful and no loud! My mom and I will be back! This was a perfect Sunday

Absolutely love this place!! My first time going and now my favourite place and I am raving about it. The full package!!! They make everything from scratch! Pasta, sauces etc. Drink menu is incredible. It is so spacious and beautiful inside. Love the vibe. Waitresses Sam and Veronica were so lovely, warm, kind and provided incredible service. There are individual bathrooms. Decor is so beautiful and really amplifies and creates a luxury experience. There are cushions on chairs and a variety of seating options. The food was absolutely divine. I prefer vegan/vegetarian and they had incredible options. Loved the Funghi Pasta, bruschetta, and artichoke appetizer. This place is a gem and I had not even left and was already getting lit up thinking about who I wanted to come back with. I was out with my boyfriend but wanted to come back with my family, friends, and business partner. So versatile that way. Something for everyone!! The drinks are amazing. Their bar is beautiful. I cannot wait to come in the summer as the Waitress Sam was saying they have flowers and the Harbourfront Water is right there. So excited to have discovered such an exceptional place. Truly one of a kind and I was delighted with my experience and eager to return!!

We went out for my friend’s birthday last night and had an absolutely amazing experience at Simona! From the moment we walked in, we were taken care of like VIPs, all thanks to Kieran—our waiter and bartender for the evening. He went above and beyond to make us feel welcome, gave us spot-on wine recommendations, and really took the time to ensure our experience was perfect from start to finish. We're not locals, but every time we’re back in town, Simona (and Kieran!) will be a must on our list. Incredible service, delicious food, and a warm, memorable vibe. Highly recommend!

We hosted a large (100 guests) private cocktail party at Simona Restaurant last evening and everything was perfect! From planning the event with Hannah in the ownership company (Fab Restaurant Concepts) to interacting with Jamie, the front of the house manager and her expert team of servers, bartenders to the kitchen staff and chefs, everything went smoothly and very professionally. Jamie and Avi made sure we were taken care of all evening long. There was sufficient food and bar servers so service was on point and timely. We were able to enjoy the party. Our guests were so impressed with the food quality/variety/quantity, the top notch service and the cocktails. Simona was able to handle food allergies and accommodate special requests. The venue is absolutely gorgeous and the backdrop of the lake adds an extra special touch. I highly recommend booking Simona for your next party, wedding, or event of any size. You are in good hands with Simona’s professional team. It’s also a great restaurant choice for brunch, lunch or dinner! The patio will be fabulous in the warmer weather.

I had the pleasure of dining at Simona, today. The food was impeccable. I ordered a Pizza, that was the most delicious I’ve had; the bread was just the right thickness all fresh toppings, the sauce made from scratch. The server was the only one working and she did a great job! Atmosphere was airy, with sea views and a lovely interior.
