The service here was amazing, the staff was attentive & kept making sure we were taken care of.
However, the portions are small & items are overpriced. A soda is $9 & they charge for a refill. The pastas are hit or miss & truly depends on what you order.
If you go here I'd suggest just sharing a few small appetizers.
Stumbled into this place on accident & wow it was such a treat. My partner & I had a few cocktails, the beef carpaccio, focaccia, & two incredible pasta dishes. Highly recommend to anyone in the area. Service & vibes were outstanding.
Had a drink & pasta both were incredible! Service was on point & very friendly. Quick & attentive service was a nice change of place to some places in Montreal.
From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere felt warm, vibrant, & authentically Italian without trying too hard. The service was flawless, attentive, knowledgeable, & genuinely passionate about the food & wine.
Every dish was outstanding. The ingredients were clearly top quality, & the execution was spot on: simple, refined, & full of flavour. You can really feel the regional Italian influence in every plate, with a menu that changes often & keeps things exciting.
The pasta was a highlight...perfectly cooked & beautifully balanced. Pair that with an excellent wine list & thoughtful recommendations from the staff, & the whole experience just comes together seamlessly.
It's rare to find a place that delivers at this level across the board-food, service, atmosphere-all top tier. Easily one of the best Italian meals I've had.
Highly recommend, & I'll definitely be back.
AMAZING experience here!! Everyone was genuinely so nice & accommodating. The food was absolutely incredible, the food was all super fresh & pasta tastes so authentic to that I've had in Italy. My favorite was definitely the steak, it just melts in your mouth & was cooked to perfection. Can't wait to go back.
The perfect mix of traditional Italian authentic cuisine in an upscale atmosphere.

We will be back!
Ambiance:
A beautiful exterior of a corner heritage building with an impressive entry. Sat at the bar which was comfortable & cosy.
Main room seemed lively, with a bright bar area at the front & tables proceeding down the room, flanked by an open kitchen. The two bar seats we had were comfortable & not too cramped, with solid stools but no under counter hangers for bags. Service:
Initially was very friendly with a warm welcome & a laid back approach to get things started. Unfortunately it detiorated from there.
Drinks:
A small selection of specialty cocktails plus an even smaller offering of wines by the glass. I had a 5oz glass of an Italian Chardonnay which cost $19 (bottle retail is under $30). Small wine list - chose an Antinori Chianti Reserve which incurred an acceptable 200% markup.
Food:
Starters were a beef carpaccio, which was small for $28 but exceptional quality & taste.
Beet salad with blood orange & ricotta sounded better than it tasted. The ricotta was piped around the salad & tasted more like a Kraft cream cheese.
Also ordered was home made focaccia which was exceptional with a high quality EVOO liberally poured over top.
Mains:
Not so good. Dishes ordered:
Cappelli with rapini & sausage:
Pasta very al-dente with no spiciness from the sausage. Very bland & stodgy.
Chicken Saltamboca: Chicken was way too thick & tasted like a fried chicken breast wrapped in tasteless prosciutto. The sauce was equally bland with a few sprigs of tasteless sage.
Potatoes: acceptable but boring
Dessert: Not taken
Overall experience:
Started well but deteriorated over the evening with it becoming a really clique atmosphere developing between owners (?) & their friends, which created a non-inclusive environment for the minority at the bar.
Admittedly it's a new venture & will take a lot more staff training, but there needs to be a more overall professional approach to be taken. Less of the'buddy' atmosphere & more attention to creating solid regulars who you'll need to become your bread & butter later on.
Good luck guys - unfortunately we won't be coming back.
Memorable evening & can't wait to return! Very authentic, hand-made fresh pasta (worth the cheat meal), beautifully decorated & very affordable! Looking forward to my next visit 🍝😁
Amazing food , we had branzino & many different pastas. Everything we tried was delicious. Cheese cake was the best we've ever eaten. Good service & wonderful atmosphere. Highly recommend it.
