Alessa Trattoria delivers an authentic Italian experience with hearty, well prepared dishes and a vibrant, welcoming atmosphere that many reviews describe as ideal for dates, family dinners, and gatherings; the menu often receives praise for pizzas, pasta, and antipasti, and the service is frequently described as friendly, attentive, and professional, though a few guests note that some nights can be noisy and tables feel a bit close together, and that prices can be high for the value with gluten free options mentioned by some diners.
Cozy restaurant, great pizza. It is relatively hot inside, so plan outfits accordingly or have layers. For people with little kids, be aware that it is a cozy place with little tables, so there is no space for kids to move around.
Très bel endroit propre & au goût du jour. Staff très courtoi & bon service. Nourriture excellente avec des prix qui sont resonnables. Je recommande le détour.

Ok, can we talk about the lasagna! One of the best I have ever tasted. Laying of the delicate noodles with bolognese sauce with creamy béchamel was exquisite. We had the pizza Alessia which was very good. The dough was perfect & light. Service was top notch from a young gentleman from Belgium. Very polite, knowledgeable. Posed yet approachable, he brought me back to the times of grand restaurants & white gloves service. A wonderful experience & I will be forever looking to recreate that lasagna! Many thanks!
Nous avons fait 30 minutes de route pour manger à ce restaurant... & nous n'avons pas été déçus! L'ambiance nous a séduits. Le style noir & blanc de la déco avec les tables en marbre apporte de la modernité au restaurant tout en restant dans le style italien. On a l'impression de manger en terrasse même en plein hiver! Comme c'était notre première visite, la serveuse a pris le temps de nous expliquer le menu. Nous avons goûté les pâtes, la pizza & les déserts faits maison & tout était excellent. Les ingrédients étaient d'une qualité plus que satisfaisante pour la saison. Le service a été sublime du début à la fin. Nous y avons passé une super soirée en couple! À essayer si vous cherchez un restaurant italien un peu haut de gamme, mais sans être hors de prix.
The pasta dishes were fresh & delicious. The pizza was very different from an American version but it was very tasty. The cannolis were my favorite! Again just a very different taste palette from American dishes & we enjoyed our meal. The atmosphere was very relaxing but that could just be the time we went, which was for an early dinner.
C'est drôlement fait pour un restaurant. C'est un style différent de ce que j'ai l'habitude de voir. Alors j'étais pas sûr. Mais moi & ma femme on adore explorer. Alors je me suis dit. Pourquoi pas. Les plats & le service étaient impeccables. Moi & ma femme on a étés vraiment étonnés & traités comme un roi & une reine. Les plats étaient extrêmement délicieux. J'aurais bien aimé vivre plus proche pour y retourner plus souvent. C'est vraiment rare que je mange bien comme ça. J'ai même été surpris de la facture. Je pensais que ça serait beaucoup plus que ça. Très belle expérience culinaire. Bravo! On était vraiment proche de la vitre extérieur du restaurant. Un plus ça aurait été d'avoir une vitre qu'on puisse regarder dehors sans se faire regarder à l'intérieur du restaurant.

Service so-so. It took time to be served, Ambiance, deco very nice. Food I was expecting more. Dessert : there is no cake. Chocolate cake is basic & a must in restaurant menu on my opinion
We really enjoyed eating here, food & wine were very good. We went two nights in a row during our stay in Magog. We tried pasta, pizza & salads all were delicious. Would highly recommend. I would suggest getting a reservation if you come on a Friday or Saturday night & want a table, but there seems to be space at the bar without a reservation. Staff were very accommodating & the bar tender was great.

Walking into this Italian joint is like entering a carb-loaded comedy club where pizzas crack cheesy jokes, & the pasta does a little twirl before stealing the spotlight. It's so delicious; I'm convinced the chef has a secret pact with Italian nonnas who sprinkle extra magic into every dish. If food could tell jokes, these pizzas & pastas would be headlining at the Food Comedy Festival. Bravo, Chef - you've turned my taste buds into a standing ovation!"
Dans une ambiance urbaine & chic, c'est une découverte à Magog. La nourriture est excellente & le service impeccable. Nous y sommes aller un dimanche pour le lunch & c'est vraiment sympa.
