Best Neighbourhood Gem Restaurants in College Area

This place was fantastic. The food is very tasty and the service from Belle was great. She was attentive and very nice. My career was in the restaurant business so I know how it is and this place does it well. I will be back soon and will definitely ask for Belle.

My favorite Italian restaurant. I have been going there since it opened about 15 years ago.

Wonderfully warm welcome. Great service and delicious food. Highly recommend the Arancini with parmesean sauce, lobster/shrimp ravioli and the ravioli with pesto sauce. They were exceptional. The lemon cake was a dream.

Super cute, great food and service. Everything was great

Wormwood absolutely blew us away. We came in for a celebration dinner and had such an incredible experience from start to finish. The food was phenomenal. The chef’s crispy-skin sea bass was easily one of the best dishes I’ve had in a long time — perfectly cooked with that incredible crispy skin. I also highly recommend taking advantage of Happy Hour because it’s truly an elite time to go, but definitely follow it up with a dinner entrée. You won’t regret it. The cocktails were just as impressive — decadent, creative, and beautifully done. I especially loved the Hugo Spritz. And a huge shoutout to Marjorie behind the bar, who was so incredibly kind and generous. She treated us to a digestif cocktail at the end of our meal, which was such a thoughtful touch and the perfect way to end an already amazing celebration dinner. Savannah and Ryan were also fantastic. They had such great menu recommendations and really took the time to make the meal feel special. Their knowledge and enthusiasm genuinely brought the whole experience to life. Between the food, cocktails, service, and atmosphere, Wormwood is absolutely somewhere I’d return to. An exceptional dining experience all around.
