Chef Sean came out to chat with us at the bar and nerded out on pizza and other food culture things- ranging from past Toronto restaurants to Bill Buford books- for nearly 3 hours. An experience of a lifetime. Also the lamps are cute. Pretty good wine too!

Lovely new find in Parkdale. Food was delicious. I particularly enjoyed the Potato Pizza! Cocktails were perfect. Service was friendly and attentive. And very affordable for Toronto.

Cozy and cute atmosphere! Food is really nice, we got a couple pizzas and they were very tasty. Dough is crisp, not too thick and had generous toppings. Cocktails are refreshing and service was very friendly! Great addition to Parkdale 💖

One of my favourites places to dine out. I have tried various menu items and they are all absolutely delicious. The menu is on the smaller side, so they perfect what they serve. And they definitely do. They also seem to use in-season fruits and vegetables, and change up their menu based on the availability and freshness of ingredients. These are both things I personally appreciate. The vibes are great as well. Its super cozy and chill. It is obvious that the staff work well together and they are very kind and friendly with the customers. 11/10, give this place a try.

We had a lovely server <3 and food was so amazing that I needed to order a 3rd dish. Pastas and pizzas were delightful.

Tried this place out last night after a “not so pleasant” experience at another restaurant in the area and we were greatly impressed! Cozy atmosphere, great service and we tried the chicken rigatoni and pepperoni pizza and they were delicious. Will definitely be back for more date nights!

Lovely back patio, and wow, the weekly mussels were to die for. Its not often that a restaurant knows how to salt their food properly, but this crew knows their seasonings!

Food is outstanding. Back patio is a little too crowded with tables and chairs. I would suggest one table and chairs be removed to make a little more space. Upstairs bar is awesome with live music throughout the week.

This place is so good I wanna cry. It is NOT an Italian restaurant, its a restaurant that makes you feel like you were invited to your best friends mom place for a hearty meal, which happens to be Italian. Food

We dined at this fabulous restaurant last night before a show. We ran into a bit of a time restraint and the staff were very accommodating ! Wonderful really. The food was fantastic! Truly the BEST pizza I have ever tasted. I cannot wait to go back for my next meal. Thank you The Bell & The Beacon for your kindness and delicious offerings

Another gem from the most welcoming and hospitable team. Pizzas were delicious- the tomato sauce on the margherita was so well balanced, the crust was nice and crispy. Definitely try the mushroom pizza - so rich and flavourful. I can t say enough about what wonderful spaces that Maggie and her team create in our community.

This is a fun new spot. We sat in the downstairs, which is a bit more restaurant (upstairs is more bar), and it was super cozy. Split a bunch of mains, and were stuffed. Really recommend the shrooms pizza and wedge Caesar!

This was the best gastronomical experience I have had in years! We went to celebrate a birthday, and absolutely everything was exquisite! We had all the offerings on the specials board and ordered an extra pizza for our trip back home to the Ottawa area tomorrow! The texture, flavour combinations and serving sizes were perfect! Thank you!
