From the moment we walked in (with no reservations) we were greeted warmly by Sophia. She made sure to squeeze us in & sat us at one of the nicest tables in the place. Instead of turning us away she was so kind to make it work, it made our night & made us feel so special. Our server Isabella was equally as sweet & provided us with amazing service. We really enjoyed our time dinning here. Thanks again from Vancouver, BC

The entire area around the restaurant is absolutely stunning with old French style architecture. The Italian food we had here for delicious & completely surpassed our expectations. We got a steak, which was the highlight for us. The pastas were great except maybe the carbonara (wasn't salty enough). The burrata was one of the best parts of the meal. Our server, she was so friendly & was a montreal local. She was so patient with our group of 10.

AMAZING. La parfaite soirée en amoureux à ce restaurant qu'on avait trop hâte d'essayer! On sera certainement de retour avec des amis ! Le restaurant est magnifique, la musique met une superbe ambiance, le service était plus que parfait, mais surtout… que dire de la nourriture? Nous avons partagé une entrée de calmars & 2 plats de pâtes. Rien à dire! C'était complètement délicieux & les portions étaient parfaites! On recommande certainement!

Food was delicious & some of the best calamari I ever had! The carbonara was flavorful & tortellini was great. Our server was amazing & sweet. Beautiful restaurant, very cozy & intimate vibes.

Only problem was the hostess. We made it to our reservation for two people on time but when we got there, she was helping two other girls in front of us. We heard the hostess say to them'you are so lucky we have an open table for you which doesn't usually happen' & she gave them a table. Then when it was our turn, she said there's no available tables even though we made a reservation for the exact time...She said it'll be a 20 minute wait & she'll text us when our table is ready. So basically, she gave our table to those 2 girls with no reservation in front of us. 30 Minutes pass & no text, so we go back to the host & ask what's up. She apologizes & gets us seated & we notice there's multiple open tables. So she also forgot to text us. It was the young blonde girl...

Great place, incredible good, though your experience depends heavily on the seating you get. Reserve a window seat in advance if you can.

A delightful Italian trattoria in the center of Montreal's charming Old Town. It is tough to get a reservation, which is a good thing. So, we dined at the bar, waited on by the hospitable chief bartender. I selected ragu pasta, my wife really enjoyed her gnocchi. Tiramissu was to die for.

The location & atmosphere is good. The service is friendly. Wait was quite long.

I liked the appetizers.

Unfortunately pasta doesn't taste good lol. We had the pesto pasta with nuts & the clam pasta. Avoid them.

It is very overpriced: almost $200 for 2 after taxes & tips.

Filet ordered medium was served well done/tough. Not worth 58CAD. Veggies were very salty. Crowded-together tables meant the waiters' butts were often bumping into & onto our tables. Windows were open but there were no fans to help assuage the uncomfortable warmth of the dining area. The Caesar salad was great. Ravioli & focaccia bread were very good.
