Lillo Eatery is the new Reno restaurant concept from Brittany Walshaw, who owned Pola Poke Bowls until recently. Lillo, which opened in March 2025, is located in the same storefront she ran Pola out of. In addition to salads and a collection of bowls spanning international cuisines, Walshaw kept a few poke bowls on the menu. She also serves creative mocktails and breakfast, made largely using goods baked by Off Center Bagel, which bakes out of the Plumb Lane cafe.
