The arugula salad omg absolutely delicious, so simple but soo good! We also had the vegetarian pizza, it had so much flavour, we loved it. Not the typical veg pizza. & the tiramisu, to die for! A very generous piece. Our waiter was excellent too. His recommendations hit the spot. Would definitely go back again.

Family of four, with an 11 year & 3 year old. We came when they opened, 5pm. One of the best meals we have had in years.

Zucchini appetizer was out of this world amazing.

Everyone's pizza was some of the best you can have. My wife who doesn't like pizza proclaimed to our amazing server'this is the best pizza she had ever had!'

I had the pepperoni, my wife had the vegetarian & our kids split the four cheese. Amazing location, phenomenal food & great staff!

New restaurant in early 2025 so they havent stacked the reviews yet but Balboa is onto something & they will be well known very soon!

Me & my friends spontaneously picked this restaurant earlier in the day while we were in Old Port because of Italian food craving. First thing we noticed was how welcoming Dil (sorry i might've misheard his name but the server with curly hair & glasses working a dinner shift oct. 28) was 😁 we were asked where we wanted to sit & was able to grab the table with a rear view of the whole restaurant. We're from Toronto so the interiors of the restaurants in our area aren't usually spacious but we were actually amazes by how nice the interior of the restaurant. Food was amazing. The pepporoni pizza was cooked in wood oven & has the perfect balance between salty & sweet. They were very generous with the pepporoni too. The vegetarian pizza tasted so fresh & flavourful, the pesto wasn't overpowering anything & the vegetables are perfectly cooked. Funghi pasta was probably the best funghi pasta we've ever had. Our server specifically said they cook it Italian style, so there's really not much cream but the flavour would still be there. For someone who gets tired of cream-heavy food, this was probably the most perfectly cooked funghi pasta for us. Service was perfect. Our server wasn't really on our face the whole time, would check up on us to ask how the food is so far & then later on pour us water. We didn't really need to ask for more things as we felt like everything was provided. Honestly, we don't speak French so it was nice being served nicely still despite the language barrier. The overall vibe of the restaurant was definitely a 10/10. It's so sad that they don't have a branch in Toronto but we would definitely go back when we get the chance! 🤍

The food is amazing!!! So delicious that we have to unbutton our pants to make more room 😭🙏🏻🍕 we ordered Pepperoni pizza, Vegetarian pizza & Funghi tagliatelle, & the flavours of all are worth for the price. The space is such a vibe, cozy & if you are with your group, it's intimate in a way that you all will enjoy the conversation with one another while enjoying the food in front of you. Wonderful service as well! Very welcoming & friendly. Truly a great place to dine & enjoy the night out ☺?

I am writing this while stuffed on pizza after a day of being on my feet around the city. I had the vegetarian pizza my buddy had the mortadella. This pizza SLAPS 👏 its TASTY 👏 its REASONABLY PRICED 👏 the staff was great & very friendly & did not judge us too hard on my very poor french. The pizza was delicious & if we didnt come in so late I would've washed it down with coffee & a Gelato.

I also have a nut allergy & the pesto is nut free (not seed free) which was amazing!! Considering how delicious it was!! & they included it on the receipt so I know they checked for sure (I've had restaurants not do this!) If you're in Montreal for the first time or a repeat person this place is it!! Check it out!! Merci!!!
