I'm sorry, but I went there yesterday the 7th of August because I craved a pizza & this restaurant had a good rating. Believe me, the pizza's we received were not the best. We were having a discussion when we smelled a heavy burning smell, jokingly one of the ladies with me said that it was probably our pizzas. They were! The crust was burn't charcoal & the pepperoni was mushy & soggy. Only a couple of pieces near the crust were cooked. One of the ladies I was with, didn't eat most of it. I ate because I paid 21$ & didn't want my money to go to the garbage. The waiter that served used was screaming in a high pitched voice every time he came to ask us for our order or to refill water. He was high strung! He only calmed down when we asked for the bill. But he was like that with most of the customers he dealt with. I & my two lady companions will not return to this restaurant for pizza again. But, the ice cream section was quite popular. Sorry again, but I say it as I experience it. Thumbs down 👎🏻.View more

We visited this place to check it out before potentially booking a larger table for my daughter's birthday party. I always prefer to visit in advance before giving any establishment a big piece of business.
& wow, I'm glad I did.
This time, we just stopped in to grab some ice cream & order a pizza to go. The experience left a lot to be desired.
First, my spouse asked what the flavor of the day was & was brushed off, almost like she was bothering them just for asking. When I tried to place the pizza order, the staff member barely let me finish before rushing to ring me up, without asking if we wanted anything extra or even acknowledging my mother, who was clearly waiting to order ice cream as well.
I had to ask twice if the two ice creams had even been billed. Still, there was no reaction, no thank you, no basic courtesy. Honestly, I almost didn't want to leave a tip it was some of the worst service I've experienced in Montreal. But of course, if you don't leave a tip, even on takeout, you end up looking like the bad guy.
In the end, the pizza was fantastic, ice cream was good but not great, but we won't be going back. One person having a bad day shouldn't ruin the entire experience, but unfortunately, it did.View more

I loved the food & ice cream! Definitely coming back for more pizza & calamari! The service was a bit disappointing as we felt forgotten multiple times.View more

Ordered a few different types of pizza & pastas. Unfortunately most of them were all soggy in the center 😕 undercooked.
I highly recommend the penne with sweet tomato & basil. Delicious. The pizza with the prosciutto & arugula was the best 👌 so much flavor. Only thing negative i have to say is that it was busy (7pm) & we felt rushed out from our waiter..View more

This is the best Italian restaurant in town!! The staff is super attentive as well, the owner Fabio even came & checked in on us the whole time. Impressive man, tall, built, kind, very handsome. Definitely added to the experience!!View more

An absolute gem of a place! From the moment we walked in, we were welcomed with warm, professional service that set the tone for an unforgettable meal.
Let's start with the pizza - cooked in a real pizza oven, & you can taste the difference. The crust had that perfect wood-fired char, light yet chewy, with toppings that were fresh, balanced, & bursting with flavor. This is real pizza - the kind that makes you close your eyes on the first bite.
& then came the fried gnocchi veau braisé poutine… next level. The crispy gnocchi give every bite a golden crunch on the outside with soft, pillowy centers - all bathed in a rich, savory veal gravy & topped with melt-in-your-mouth braised veal. It's indulgent, comforting, & unforgettable.
Pair that with top-tier service & a cozy, welcoming atmosphere, & you've got a dining experience that hits all the right notes. Can't wait to go back!View more

Malheureusement je n'ai pas pris de photo car nous étions trop pressé de goûter 😅 le repas était succulent ( salade betterave & chèvre , parpadelle champignons & truffes, pizza margharita & pizza au thon )tout était frais & savoureux. Service impeccable & rapide malgré une salle bondé, ambiance festive & familiale juste un peux bruillant pour ceux qui veulent un repas au calme ou en amoureux.View more

Un secret bien gardé de quartier!
Tout est bon sur leur menu. Au delà des pâtes & pizzas fraîchement preparées sur place & cuites dans leur authe tique four à bois, les entrées comme mini- burgers sont succulents ( une vraie boulette de viande hachée avec goût!!), le tartare de boeuf : parfait!!!
Ils ont aussi un excellent vin maison blanc & rouge.
Pour les dents sucrées : vous serez satisfaits avec les différentes options comme desserts ! J'aime beaucoup leur tartufo & gâteau tiramisu.
Terrasse sympa & agréable en été face au soleil.
Il vaut mieux réserver, car c'est toujours plein. Pas étonnant : un vrai restaurant de qualité avec une cuisine italienne authentique.View more
