Nous avons passé une excellente soirée notre serveuses Maude très aimable & serviable. Moi j'ai aimé ma pizza & le reste de la table aussi les pâtes fruits mer moins. Nous étions 5. Nous avons apprécié entré de viandes froides & fromaggi
Party of 4, had Arancini & Stella pizza as anti pasti & a plate of pasta each for main.
It was ok
All of it
Good but nothing special
Expensive for the quality
The kind of thing we can easily do at home for a fraction of the price
There should be a better menu on beers, with & without alcohol, we're in Quebec in the 2020s, it's not choice that's lacking.
Not enclined to return, unless it's for their pizza
We had a tomato salad with boccacini & then a pizza…all very good! We had the tiramisu for dessert, also very good. I ordered a Baileys, yes one ounce. It came in an old fashioned glass & it looked like there was nothing there. I complained to the server & she was so adamant . I know it was one ounce but served in the wrong glass made it look ridiculous. I asked for ice before & it could have looked so much more enticing in a smaller more appropriate glass size with the ice in it. Basically, the server was raising her voice at me….at the end of the meal I apologized & she would have none of it. I walked out,,,will never go back again.

Commandé une pizza Calabrese. Pepperoni de pietre qualité. La pizza tout trempé. Une de mes moins bonne pizza a vie. Vraiment déçu. Par contre assiette de pâtes excellente avec fruit de mer pour ma douce.
J'aime Alessia & c'est generalement le restaurant ou nous venons lorsque l'on visite Magog, mais bon Dieu que le menu ne change jamais ! Juste pizza, pasta & escalopes de veau/poulet. Pas de poissons ! Aussi ce que je trouve dommage c'est qu'ils ne font pas la pizza Al Tono avec l'oeuf au milieu qui coule, pour tout vrai restaurant digne de ce nom, c'est un must sur le menu ! Aussi ou est l'option pizza vegetarienne toute garnie ? Poissons ? Nada. Alors le choix se limite a des pizzas tres simples avec peu de garnitures. Les pâtes meme chose, faites des pâtes au limoncello avec crevette & tapenade d'olive !
Visited Alessea Trattoria with my family & really enjoyed the variety of Italian dishes on the menu. We ordered pizzas & shared an entrée of deli meats-both were fresh & flavorful. The kids were thrilled with their chocolate ice cream for dessert, while my husband had the mini cannolis & I had the affogato, which was a nice finish to our meal.
Unfortunately, the service wasn't that great. While most of the staff seemed cheerful & upbeat, our server, Liette, was very cold & didn't smile once throughout the meal. For a family-oriented Italian restaurant, we were expecting a warmer, more welcoming atmosphere.

Très bon resto italien. Polpettes & Arancini en entrée, vraiment délicieux! Pizza Calabrese avec extra burrata & pâte alla gigi, très bon aussi. Le tirais, excellent aussi! Un restaurant où je retournerai certainement!
Tres ordinairee la pizza avait un gout de bruler la serveuse me dit ben on la sert comme sa jlui demabde du beurre elle me dit on na justr de lhuilee icii unnpeu betee jaii dejaa fait de la pizza & le gout de bruler etais desagreable nous avon demander une boite quand meme la ramener vue que nous avoms payer quans meme meme pas quelque chose de la serveuse en retour rabais ou autre elle nous a donne une boite videe avec seulement le focaciaa dedans
2 ième fois à ce restaurant & toujours très satisfaite . Le veau aux champignons, les pâtes alla gigi , les pizzas sont des excellents choix . Nous étions sur la terrasse & nous avons eus un bon service. Un incontournable si vous visitez Magog.
Délicieux repas (pâte Gigi crémeuse & salade César fraîche & croquante).
Service attentionné, mention spéciale à la maître d'hôtel qui nous a trouvé des bancs avec dossier pour le comptoir.
Bémol: un manque de finition sur l'équipement.
- Des tabourets au comptoir ce n'est pas digne de la qualité de la place.
- Un savoureux tiramisu à 12$ ne devrait pas être servi avec une cuillère à soupe.
- Une pizza raffinée mérite plus qu'un couteau à beurre.
