I admittedly have never eaten here & now likely never will. My 4 year old daughter needed to urgently go to the washroom as we were walking near the Science Center of the old port during the evening. I ran across the street to find most restaurants were closing or already closed. This restaurant had their door wide open, so we walked in. No one seemed to take notice of us, but as I was in a rush we immediately went to the washroom which I helped my daughter to use. What could have been a pleasant experience quickly turned negative, as we left the washroom & we were berated by an older gentleman who worked there, asking "How did you get in?!" & "What, you ignore all the signs?!" I explained that I didn't see any signs, as any parent would know that when your small child is "holding it in" you could be on a short timer. We also took all of 5 minutes in a completely empty restaurant. He continued accosting us as we were walking out, asking, "Do I go walk into your house?!" This pointless argument was hardly worth my time, especially in front of my young daughter, so I apologized for whatever mild inconvenience my daughter using the washroom had caused & left before the argument escalated. He never explained what signs he was talking about, but on the way out I caught a glimpse of one -by the floor- about washrooms only for customers. Had he asked nicely I honestly would've paid for whatever small item I could, but definitely not with how we were treated & definitely a place I will avoid in future. The staff, at least this gentleman, could use some serious lessons in customer service. I would highly recommend a "not kid-friendly" tag for this place.

I came here for a quick meal, I got an aperol spritz & the rose pasta & they were both delicious. The older man (looked like the owner) was so lovely & very helpful! He gave me one of their super cool looking water glasses! I will definitely be returning here!

Trop cher pour ce que c'est. L'assiette de pâte est minuscule & la pizza est de très mauvaise qualité.

Totally nailed the Italian cuisine vibe here, from the flavorful pasta to the ambiance that just makes you feel welcome. The crew's always up for a chat, making you feel right at home. Easily one of the top spots in Kanata for a tasty meal & a good time.

The pizza here is average at best. The Margherita pizza was missing basil. The chicken & olive pizza was also adequate. Service was fine but nothing special. Sitting on the patio was enjoyable.

We were first greeted at the door, passing by, exhausted & hungry. The older gentleman asked if we would like a table, made some small talk as he sat us & called his waitress over. She only spoke french, but we were able to order just fine. I ordered the margarita pizza (basil tomatoes & cheese traditionally) & my husband, the bolognase (his favorite dish). First redflag.....the restaurant we realized was totally empty, & the old man was trying to get people to stop. Second red flag.... I ordered a vodka cranberry that tasted like water with a hint of cranberry. There was no vodka in my drink. Third... the wait wasn't bad if it was good food, but I received a burnt cheese pizza & & my husband had 5 minutes noodles with jar sauce. Zero flavor & very watery. We flagged down the waitress to pay the bill & the bill was much higher than I thought. $100! (USD) I didn't think the menu had this high of prices listed but we were tired & hungry so maybe they did. The food was edible...but not at all good & certainly not worth the cost.

We stopped in for dinner on a whim while in Montreal for the Grand Prix. We were greeted immediately by the owner, who was friendly, welcoming & attentive. The food was very good - our table had a combination of the pizza, ceaser salads & pastas & shared a bottle of house wine. The food was a solid "two thumbs" up by all the parties involved - with maybe the odd opinion that the pasta dishes could have been a bit bigger. It was a nice relaxing dinner - & while shopping the next day we dropped in to chat about hockey for a bit longer with the owner. Thanks for the great evening!
