From Pola to Lillo
Before Lillo Eatery, there was Pola Poke Bowls — a beloved local Reno poke bowl restaurant known for its fresh ingredients, big portions, and laid-back island vibes. After 7 years in business, owner Brittany Walshaw felt a shift was coming: in the community, in her vision, and in the kind of food she wanted to share with others.
Lillo was born from that desire to grow and evolve while still honoring what made Pola Poke so special. It was a big decision to make and a huge risk to take to rebrand our restaurant. However, using the same passion, purpose, and principles that made Pola Poke the best poke restaurant in Reno, we’ve created a cafe with an inspired menu that’s sure to please our patrons’ palates.
About the Owner:
Meet Brittany Walshaw
Local Reno business owner Brittany Walshaw has spent years crafting food that brings people together. Her journey started with a love for Hawaiian cuisine that led her to open Pola Poke Bowl in 2018. But as time passed, a desire for change inspired Brittany to pursue her dream of opening a cafe.
With a strong belief in sourcing quality ingredients, sustainable practices, and local collaboration, the new restaurant has already made a name for itself. Brittany is the beating heart and guiding light at Lillo. From dishes to decor to events and more, Lillo is where her hospitality, creativity, and love of food really get to shine!
