From the greeting we knew it would be a great evening. The staff felt like family & welcomed us from the first our first step into this beautiful setting restaurant. We had focaccia, traditional salt & rosemary which reminded me of my Nonna's when I was young. Excellent wine selection too. We also had the calamari as a side dish. Our main meal was the famous caccio & Pepe & squash agnolotti in a buttery sage sauce. Both dishes were well portioned not to over stuff us. We even had place for an excellent carrot cake with some caramel on top. My wife & I totally enjoyed & wish to share this culinary establishment. The entire team there were looked very proud of their work & food. I would give 6 stars for service if possible.

Arrived at 6:30 & was only seated at 9:15 pm. Was looking forward to showing my friend a night out for her birthday, especially since we both have young kids now & it happens less. This was brutal, & honestly, the food was VERY mid after 2.5 hours of waiting (though in all fairness, I've been here before & really enjoyed my meal on the patio on the summer). The only reason we didn't leave is because we had already ordered a bottle of wine. Fucaccia that no reservation policy - we won't be back until it's changed.

overall cute & cozy vibes with a great wine selection! Our go-to wine night spot!

I go every time I'm in Montreal, often just for a glass of wine. It's the perfect terrasse to sit & people watch. The staff are always so lovely & I've never had something there that I didn't love! 🫶

Good dinner with friends but really nothing special apart from the ambiance.
The appetizers « to share » were really super small & left us disappointed.
Our main pasta dish were good but they have 6 options only.
Wine list was exhaustive & nothing below 60$.
We were told by the server to kindly leave since people were waiting in line to get in (we were there for only 1h45).

I love Barbara. The vibes are immaculate. The food quality is sometimes inconsistent, but overall always satisfied. The wine selection is great & delicious.

I came on a Monday June 30th at 2:45 pm . We were seated & immediately told we had 5 mins to order for the lunch / kitchen was closing at 3 pm !!! We felt super stressed as we cycled from the old port . This was a special occasion as my wife was 8 months post opened heart surgery . We wanted to celebrate but felt super stressed as we were immediately told to order otherwise we were screwed for food !! Ordered a sandwich , pasta a glass of wine & beer . Was given one menu which we were sharing quickly etc etc . We were sitting at the window inside & noticed other clients ordering from the terrace after we finished our lunch so of course I asked the menu & ordered a entree which we missed in the rush of being told to order . Ordered a ricotta foccacia Honey snd more drinks etc later the person who greeted us brought us two chocolatine in a paper bag to take home . I guess he realized it was inappropriate ! Later another server asked if we wanted one or two bills . I said one & brought us the bill & came with payment machine . I told her the lunch bill is 150$ & we will be ordering more stuff as we just wanted to listen to the music & feel humble & grateful be there healthy etc The server said the paper bag on the table made her think we were leaving ! Finally I didn't order anything else & decided to leave ! I gave you 5 stars all around as we are grateful to be healthy & appreciate everything life has to offer . You really need to look at your workflow as many different people came to our table & missed the interaction flow & service from the previous person . I was ordering drinks all along etc Gracias for the chocolatine but you missed out on the human component of why we came to your place . Its was not only about the food the reason we came . In all the moving parts it takes one person to look at the floor & tables & quickly see what experience each table is looking for . It's special when you tune into that as you make a difference in a day of a person / create memories etc Great summe

Darien
Great music, delicious foccacia & great wine.
Service is great & helpful!
Doris
Their focaccia (ricotta & miel) is delicious. Very hip place. Great for lunch & also dinner with an amazing selection of privately imported wine!
Jules
Love their wine list! Personally, I prefer their appetizers over their pasta. The cacio e pepe lacks a bit of flavor. The focaccia, arancini, parmesan fries & polpettes are all delicious. Since they do not take reservations, do expect to wait 45 minutes on busy evenings.

2024: just came for afternoon drinks. Was provided with great wine glass recommendations. Also had the Rome With a View cocktail which was good. 2022: Came here for lunch. Excellent service. Very attentive. Helped find something we thought we lost. Ordered the arancini & the pâte au beurre from the main menu as well the sandwich & smoked salmon from the pop-up. Everything was delicious & well-presented.
Myro
Really cozy place & super friendly staff, great for a glass of wine + comfort food. Definitely recommend but expect a bit of a wait (we walked in & it was quite busy - they eat dinner late here!)
Lilian
I'd come back! Caccio e pepe was too salty to my liking so I couldn't finish it, but good wine selection & love the vibe!
Victoria
Edit* been twice since my first time, Both times I ordered the bolognese & both times they brought me the cacio Pepe. I understand it's a simple mistake but if you're not writing the order down when we're ordering 10 things obviously something is going to get mixed up . Besides that the pastas didn't match the quality of the first time I ate there... probably will not come back Food & wines are yummy, the staff is nice however it got a little ratchet when I was there last time . The Managers were clearly piss drunk, standing on tables barefoot pouring shots from the bottles into eachothers mouths, falling off the tables...etc not sure it's the look they want to be giving off.
Una
The service was outstanding! The servers were very happy to bring a different selection & recommendation of wine when I didn't like the first choice I had made. The food was pretty good. The atmosphere & vibes were fun even if you were waiting for a table!
Andrew
AMAZING focaccia. Perfect for a midday lunch stop. Sandwiches & focaccia dishes were spectacular. Great wine & wonderful service. Relaxed but elevated
Lisa
