Très bel endroit dans le vieux Montréal. Parfait pour un repas entre amis ou en famille. Le décor & l'ambiance sont très agréables. Les pizzas sont bonnes mais pas excellente. Le service que nous avons reçu était bon mais manquait d'attention & de professionnalisme. Le prix étaient correct relativement à la qualité de la nourriture & du service.

Appelés par les avis positifs nous nous sommes rendus dans cette nouvelle pizzeria à proximité du vieux port. Je dois dire que nous avons été vraiment déçus. Je commence tout de même par les points positifs :

- le nom de la pizzeria est cool & original
- la décoration est vraiment belle
- les serveurs sont tous excellents
- les toilettes réservent une surprise amusante
- l'emplacement est super

Mais est ce que tout cela suffit ? Malheureusement non puisque le gout n'est pas totalement au rendez vous. La margherita est loin d'être mauvaise je dirais même qu'elle est plutôt bonne bien que loin d'être excellente. La pizza aux champignons est quant à elle très fade, pas mauvaise encore une fois mais pas assez explosive, peu goutu en somme. Cela pourrait convenir si le prix n'était pas élevé mais alors voilà la somme déboursée : 71$ dollar (après taxe & pourboire) pour ces deux pizza & un coke. 71$ !!! pour des pizza moyennes. Avec 71$ nous pouvons faire tellement d'autres choses que manger deux pizza moyenne.

Alors pour éviter cette déception il faut vite penser à baisser les prix ou faire les meilleures pizza en ville.

Recently opened in mid May & needed work at that time, but may have sorted things out. Professionally decorated but somehow cold & confused decor. Wait staff attentive to the point of brisk, though there were few customers to serve at the time. Very short menu of standard, uninteresting'Italian' dishes. Stingy wine servings. Prices somewhat high for food this ordinary, which is not surprising in a high tourist area. Gnocchi was cool, stodgy & bland. Pizza was good.
