Bit of an odd place with very casual staff supporting an upscale pizza & wine menu. Food was tasty & the layout of the restaurant is novel with a raised rear dining area.View more

We were so grateful to find this spot after a few of our other ideas were full up at 7pm with a 2 hour wait. We walked in & the hostess was happy to have us & eager to know we enjoyed. We felt welcomed & well taken care of & had delicious, comforting pasta & pizza! (The fungi pizza is so good!)

This is in the location where one of my old favorites used to be (Mangiafocco) so it's fun that the new spot was also delicious.View more

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.View more

This is the place to dine in Montreal! Julie was fabulous, friendly & accommodating! The funghi pizza is sumptuous, tasty, & perfectly crusted, rivals all the pizzas I have had in Italy!View more

Retro charm, sourdough pizzas that slap, & cocktails with serious spritz cred. Feels like your Italian grandma opened a pizzeria & invited the cool kids. Busy, lovely, & worth the carbs.

Pro tip: fried olives.View more

Cost-effective Italian leopard print pizza?the pores on the outside of pizza are like the diamond pattern on a charcoal grilled steak, which is the source of aroma & taste.
High-quality meat + high-quality dough creates a delicious pizza that makes you want more, enough to even finish the sides.

I recommend , you make the decision!View more

Superb Little Italian!!!
(I always try to be fair in my reviews & don't criticise unless necessary & only praise if it truly deserves it. This restaurant falls into the latter category).

We found this restaurant by chance on our arrival in Montreal as we dashed in from the rain. Lovely welcome. Two very waiters who told us about the wine & beers. We both had a pizza - really thin & lovely dough. Delicious!!!
Then, my husband - a pudding expert - had a tiramisu. Said it was the best he had ever had. I was allowed a couple of spoonfuls & I entirely agree - exquisite!
The lady owner's little twin girls were in for part of the evening wiping down tables, filling up water - they were absolute stars!!!
A fabulous restaurant which deserves 5* for simply everything. Thank you very much a super start to our stay in Montreal xxxView more
