Bon petit resto italien dans le vieux Montréal a pris très raisonnable pour le secteur. Nous étions un grand groupe de 15 & les plats ont été servis rapidement & encore chauds, la serveuse nous a également bien conseillé pour les entrées à partager & nous avons pu réarranger les tables pour que tout le groupe puisse se voir pendant le souper. À essayer si vous avez besoin d'un resto dans le vieux avec très bon rapport qualité prix!

We had to ask for our food several times. Waitress forgot some items & food was very late. Frankly speaking , not with all the waiting.

Absolutely amazing! The price is definitely worth it! I loved the tortellini & the fried calamari. I didn't love the seafood pasta but my friend liked it.

Charmante dinette avec un service a la hauteur de sa députation. Entrée délicieuse d'arancino, pâtes pomodoro cuites al dente mais la sauce hier était des plus ordinaire. Les carbon de ma femme donnaient un horrible gout âcre en fin de bouche, quelque chose n'allait pas dans la sauce crémeuse, ... très décevant. Le plateau de pain(7$) ciabattas, qui avaient l'air délicieuses, étaient en fait froides & sèches (raide). C'était la 3e fois à cet incontournable & nous avons mal frappé.

A favourite dining experience for us in Montreal. Wonderfully kind staff who were nice enough to accommodate our requests. Stunning historic room with large windows that open up to the streets of old Montreal for a lively view. We absolutely loved the dishes we ordered & will certainly dine here again. Ordered the aubergine appetizer (similar to an eggplant Parmigiano or lasagna), beautiful tomato sauce & lightly fried eggplant. We also ordered the carbonara pasta & tartufo gnocchi (made fresh in house!) Lovely meal, generous portions, wonderful ambience & kind staff. We wish we had room for dessert! Recommend booking a table in advance, it was a full room on a Tuesday night!
