Gorgeous restaurant in old stone building in Old Montreal. The food was excellent- we shared Arrancho & Polpette apps which were so good; for mains we ordered Spaghetti Pomodoro which was very tasty & the Seafood pasta which was very tasty but did not have very much seafood in it ( two shrimps & a handful of calamari rings). The service was excellent. We would absolutely return & recommend it to others.

I wanted a cocktail that wasn't on the menu anymore & they were nice enough to make it for me anyway. The waitress was very nice! The atmosphere was warm & agreeable. The pasta was al dente & delicious. The Bruschetta was delicious. I just wish they didn't put capers in it.
