Canti tries to be upscale Italian but fails. The first thing that you see when you enter our the same disposable beer cups better found all over the bell center. The appetizers were OK, but I was really not impressed with what the waiter described as'pizza' It looked a lot like a beavertail that you can get at a concession stand with some very nice toppings on top. The service wasn't great either. Our dirty plates & cutlery were left on the table from our appetizers & our water glasses were often empty. The restaurant had music playing, which was quite incongruous to the atmosphere that they are trying to create, & there were some TVs playing a hockey game. This restaurant is convenient since you are already in the bell center, & it is easy to get to your seats for an event. That is the only reason I would recommend it.

The staff & service are AMAZING. Friendly, efficient, & having the chance to come back during events or games to get an extra beverage or more food is very convenient.

Now as for the food, if this restaurant was anywhere else than the Bell center, I don't think I would go back. The octopus was soggy, the fries were cold, the salad was bland & the chicken sandwich was average at best. I also tried the eggplant pasta, which was okay. For this poor quality of food, the price was very high, but again, the staff & the location compensate to some extent for that.

Food was extremely expensive. 84$ for 1 martini & 12 of the worst & driest oysters ive ever had in a restaurant. The people i were with also didnt enjoy their food, meat was lacking seasoning, lemon mousse was just a cheap lemon pudding, black forest cake was a frozen chocolate cake that tasted like a freezer with one cherry added. Would never go back. Only positive was the fries!

Nous y sommes allés un soir de match. À notre arrivée, à 15h50, nous avons dû attendre sur le trottoir que les portes se démarrent à 16h. Puisque j'avais réservé pour une table à 16h, j'aurais aimé en être informée.
Nous avons partagé une Assiette de charcuterie comme entrée. Le proscuito & les fromages étaient excellents, mais les raisins & la roquette étaient plus que défraîchis. Dommage pour un plat à 36$.
Pour le repas, les Pappardelles étaient moins que tiède ainsi que les frites qui accompagnaient la sandwiche de poulet frit. Cette dernière était très goûteuse.

Really a nice place with good food & a superbly located place, before a hockey game or a show. The only down side the noise, It's a cafeteria. Nothing to absorbe sound.

The food was very good & the service was great & fast. The only downside is the lack of options in the menu (very few options).
