Review Summary

La Casa du Spaghetti offers a mix of strong dishes and a warm Italian atmosphere, with many reviewers praising tasty pastas, wood fired pizzas, generous portions, and attentive service on some visits, but others report mixed experiences including soggy salads, a sour lemon scalopponi, a chewy contrefilet, and occasional misfires that feel overpriced. Service is described as sometimes slow or forgetful when the place is busy, with dirty dishes left on tables and notes not taken, though several visits highlight friendly staff and good value, gluten free options, and appealing desserts. The overall impression is that the restaurant has real potential and can deliver excellent meals, yet inconsistency in service and some dishes can detract depending on the day.View restaurant profile

Verdun

Café Breakfast Crêpes Sandwiches

Review Summary

Across reviews, Café Bénédictins feels like a cozy, old school diner where brunch is simple but heartwarming and prices stay very affordable. The staff are consistently described as friendly and attentive, creating a warm welcome and thoughtful service. The food is reliable and delicious with generous portions, and the breakfast potatoes are especially praised as among the best; dishes like the meat cassolette with eggs and hollandaise are noted as tasty and satisfying. The overall vibe is unpretentious and comforting, with a retro feel, plenty of space, and a casual laid back atmosphere. Some critiques mention chairs that are too soft or worn, a few stains on seating, a dirty table area, and no decaf coffee, along with a need for a light refresh of the furniture, but these do not overshadow the sense of value and promise that make this place a nice option in the neighborhood. In short, Café Bénédictins offers a comforting, affordable brunch experience with friendly service and solid food that many reviewers would return for.View restaurant profile

Rosemère

Italian Pizza Pasta Grill

Review Summary

Scala 20 is described as a beautiful and comfortable dining room with polite and helpful service and delicious Italian dishes, with generous portions that satisfy. The BYO wine policy and the wood-fired pizza are highlighted as positives that pair well with the menu. The atmosphere can feel warm and convivial, though on some evenings it may resemble a cafeteria and can be quite loud. Service is praised for group nights and special occasions, with attentive staff and smooth reservations, while other visits note slower timing, a rushed pace, and a mishap like calamari dropped on the table. Mussels and fries with mayo come up as a tasty standout, while some dishes receive mixed comments about cooking levels, such as vegetables not fully cooked or a steak that is only okay. Facilities such as bathrooms are mentioned as needing renovations. Taken together, Scala 20 appears to offer solid Italian fare and memorable moments for celebrations, with strong service and ambiance on many nights but variability in pace and noise depending on crowd size.View restaurant profile

Reviews portray Ol' Sweet Pastry as a cozy spot where chimney cakes are baked to order, crispy on the outside and soft inside, offered in flavors like cinnamon sugar, pistachio, Nutella, and berry creations, with many saying the pastries are fresh, flavorful and appealing, and that watching them be made adds a special touch; the atmosphere, decor and friendly staff receive frequent praise, and customers often note good value for Montreal, with some calling it a memorable detour and a must visit for dessert lovers; there are occasional notes about limited seating and parking and the wait time during peak periods, and a few reviewers mention variability in taste or sweetness, but the overall sentiment is enthusiastic and many say they will return and recommend Ol' Sweet Pastry; there is one unusual negative anecdote about an incident observed locally, but it does not define the overall positive impression of the fresh, high quality treats and attentive service.View restaurant profile
