From the first course onward, the meal showed a clear sense of intention, favoring careful execution over unnecessary flair.

We started generously-both a salad & the soup of the day, a comforting minestrone that tasted like my Nonna had made it. That was followed by the two arancini on offer, each distinct & delicious.

For mains, restraint was not part of the plan. We were excited to hear about the off-menu item: crab-stuffed ravioli in a bisque-style sauce. It was rich without being overwhelming. The gorgonzola ravioli delivered a bold, deeply satisfying contrast. Both dishes wowed us thoroughly. Unapologetically indulgent.

A crisp white wine tied everything together beautifully-though sharing the entire bottle between two people turned out to be more of a commitment than expected 😅🍷

Dessert was non-negotiable: tiramisu & cannolo, both because you can't leave without trying them 🤷?♂?

The ambiance is inviting, the menu thoughtfully curated, & the service genuinely attentive. If it's been on your list, consider this a gentle nudge to finally make the visit. But, bring your appetite because you will be seriously full after this 😜

Nourriture savoureuse, service impeccable. Le risotto était parfait & bien crémeux comme j'aime ! La dernière fois que j'ai mangé comme ça c'était à Rome. Je le recommande à 100%

The place gives a nice Italian buzz...
But then comes a very mediocre service. & when you eventually disturb them for it after 40 minutes waiting for food, manager will come out ant tell you it's all your fault because of they didn't read through your body language that you needed food.
Then he'llake a few quite inappropriate comments boarding familiarity & food will come - dry, because it was waiting for service way too long.
Then you'll leave it on the plate telling it's not really nice, they'll just take it away & bring you a bill...
Of course, not everyone's experience is the same but this was ours. Very disappointing.

So grateful to be living in a neighbourhood with the best Italian restaurant in the city. I go there once (sometimes twice) per week & each time I am shocked at how spectacular the food is. Such an amazing ambience & the owners/staff are wonderful people. Everything is always on point & hits the spot.

Je suis venu dans ce restaurant italien à Montréal l'an dernier avec quelques amis. J'étais simplement là pour les accompagner, mais l'expérience a rapidement pris une tournure très inconfortable.
Après nous être assis, un de mes amis a demandé au serveur s'il était possible d'acheter un pack de bières pour le consommer sur place. J'étais personnellement contre cette idée, mais il a quand même posé la question. La réponse aurait pu être simple & professionnelle, par exemple expliquer que les boissons extérieures ne sont pas autorisées. À la place, le serveur a réagi de manière visiblement agacée & nous a lancé un regard franchement hostile, à tout le groupe.
À partir de ce moment-là, le service s'est nettement détérioré. Le serveur semblait adopter une attitude ciblée envers cet ami, ce qui a créé un malaise constant à table.
Au moment de l'addition, la situation a franchi une ligne très grave. Le serveur a pointé mon ami du doigt & lui a dit en anglais :
« If you were my child, I would drag you into my basement. »
Cette phrase a été entendue par plusieurs personnes à table & enregistrée. Peu importe le ton ou le contexte, ce type de propos est totalement inacceptable dans un cadre professionnel & ne respecte aucune norme de service.
Cette remarque a également provoqué une réelle inquiétude parmi nous. Mon ami a exprimé une crainte, peut être excessive mais compréhensible sur le moment, en se demandant si le serveur pouvait avoir une forme de protection ou d'intimidation derrière lui. Je précise que je ne connais rien à ce sujet & que je ne fais aucune accusation.
Après le paiement, le propriétaire est venu nous voir pour comprendre la situation & a proposé une compensation, que nous avons refusée. Lors de cette discussion, il a tenu à préciser que le serveur était d'origine bangladaise & non italien, & que lui même était le propriétaire italien du restaurant. Il nous a également assuré qu'il n'y avait aucune raison de s'inquiéter.
J'ai apprécié le fait que le propriétaire prenne la situation au sérieux & tente de clarifier les choses. Cependant, cela n'efface pas l'expérience vécue.
