Fantastic experience! My partner and I discovered Pomona by chance and we were not disappointed. The staff were so friendly, atmosphere was great and the food was amazing! The meals took some time to be prepared because everything is made from scratch, and can you ever taste it! A very cute place for a date night out. Will 100% be coming back here again!
Our first time trying Pomona did not disappoint! The owners and staff were so friendly and inviting- I appreciated how they took the time to really engage with customers. The food was so delicious, freshly made and I loved hearing about the process of how they made some dishes! The portions were a great size and fairly priced. Definitely a new favourite of mine and can’t wait to go back!
We had dinner on our honeymoon here and the food was to die for. Lisa was so friendly we felt like we were family.
We had the Burrata and Bresaola to start with the special for the day pappardelle pasta with a rabbit ragu as a main.
For desert we both had the tiramisu and without question one of the best I’ve had in my life. (No pictures as we both inhaled it)

Wow. We had an amazing dining experience at Pomona ! The service was excellent and the food was even better. The lamb shank was perfect and the mashed potatoes were heavenly paired with absolutely delicious vegetables! The gnocchi was done just right and was so tasty. This is a gem hidden in Colborne and worth the stop !!

( 2nd visit) Another great meal! Thank you Lisa & co.
The scallops as an app this time, fantastic!
Chicken Marsala, Pasta Bolognese, Beet & Gorgonzola Appy, Burrata, Oyster Mushroom Marsala, Sable fish, Creme Brulee & Nonna's pastry dessert were all delicious! The parents, brother & veggie sister in law all super happy! We're all already planning the next time we're nearby! Can't wait, definitely by far our new fave in the area!
*** (1st visit) Delicious! Holy cow! The scallops! The rabbit ragu! Everything actually! Awesome place to have nearby! ( p.s. my pics don't do the food justice!)

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.
