This is a nice place to eat with great food & one of the few places open for lunch. My husband had the pasta with the muscles, clams, lobster, shrimp, calamari, & scallops.....I had the green pasta in a cream saffron sauce with the small shrimp in the pasta & both of these dishes were amazing. This is one of the few places with birra moretti in Montreal which is my husband's favorite. The owner & waiter were nice & helped us with a great selection on lunch & they make you feel like family. I highly recommend this place.

In town for business & I am so happy we found this place. Unbelievable meal, great service. The owner clearly wants to make sure everybody has a great experience & we were not disappointed. Looking for an excuse to go back to Montreal just so I can eat here again!

Great little place downtown Montreal. Ambiance is quiet, nice view of the street. Waiter was very nice, I heard him helping what I think was a Chinese family struggling with the French menu. Food was delicious with bonus amuse-bouche of meatballs to start. Would visit again.

Decided to come here before the hockey game & very glad we did! Small restaurant & quite busy but a very warm atmosphere. Our meal was excellent. We had a salmon special & a pasta feature. Next time I want to try the risotto. The mini meatballs they offered after sitting down were amazing. Just as good was the staff. Very attentive & friendly. I think regulars coming in they know but we felt just as welcome. Will definitely come again when back in town.

5 star experience. The food was amazing, the service impeccable, the atmosphere super cozy & not too loud. A cute & small place that has a lot of history & you can taste true italian flavors! I had the stuffed eggplant & it was one of the best italian meal I ever had!
