Déception. Nourriture correcte, mais sans grande originalité pour un prix élevé.Très bruyant. Nous avons commandé du vin & le serveur nous en a proposé un autre, supposément meilleur pour le même prix. Au final, le vin était trois fois plus cher. Nous n'aurions pas dû payer, mais c'était une fête & nous avions baissé notre vigilance. Je n'y retournerai plus jamais : (

One of the best restaurant experiences I've had in a while - great wine, food, & ambience. Be sure to sit downstairs!

Very noisy to have a conversation with friends. Food is good but not for the price we paid. Maybe my expectation is high , Use to much better before, came many times years ago, now I feel the quality dropped . Anyway, still very appreciated.

Visited Da Emma recently with my girlfriend. While the food itself was solid, the overall experience left a lot to be desired.

Right off the bat, we felt like we weren't taken seriously, maybe because we're young, but that's no excuse for dismissive service. I asked the waiter to surprise me with a drink since I'm open to anything, & instead of a recommendation or even a suggestion, I got a flat,'I don't know, it's your choice.' Not the end of the world, but it's not exactly rocket science to pitch your signature cocktail or something you're proud of.

What really took the cake though, cash only. In 2025. With zero heads up until the bill arrived. I don't carry $500 in cash around, & being told to walk to the dep up the street to grab cash? Completely unprofessional.

There are plenty of great places in the city where hospitality is actually part of the service. I'll be supporting Beatrice instead, where we're treated with respect, not judged by age.

Will be telling everyone who goes to MTL to try this restaurant!! First glance at the menu doesn't give enough credit to how delicious this restaurant is. The roasted lamb was so yummy, is very large easily shareable. We also got the Gorgonzola pasta which looks small but is very filling.

The soup of the day was a pastina & reminds me of home, might have been the best part of the meal. The artichokes were marinated in oil & were also very delicious

Overall would come back & would recommend

Nice outdoor setting, relax atmosphere, italian music.

Great cocktails & amazing wine list. Bruschetta was tasty, a very nice touch to start the meal.

Food was ok. Aragula salad seasoning was good, mushrooms pasta was cooked to perfection (but the portion was so small), tiramisu was delicious. No bread was offered to us, we had to ask for pepper & cheese. I had to refill my glass of wine myself, the staff was busy chatting with each other.

Service was not attentive, it could have been better. A little detail, the hostess at the entrance was dress sloppy ( baggy jeans, large hoodie & flip flop!), very odd for a refined italian restaurant. Restroom was dirty with no toilet paper, had to chase a server for it...

Maybe it was just on off night & i was not lucky but i dont think that i will be back...
