The pizza there is fabulous. Like it's really good in taste & even the dip. One of the best pizzas I have ever had.

Wrote in the reservation notes that we we're celebrating a birthday but it was a surprise. Immediately on arrival, the hostess mentioned the birthday (bummer). Barely any service, it took twenty minutes before I had to ask who I could order with. The waitress came by twice in the +2hours we were there & didn't speak a word. Not one hi & did not check in to see if the food was okay. We honestly didn't even know she spoke English until we asked for the bill. Our entire table works in service & we can all say that the servers go around looking at the tables but don't actually speak to their clients unless its to collect their payment. We never tip less than 20% but tonight, tipping 15% felt wrong considering the only service we truly got was from the bartender (he took our order as well). Probably best as a takeout spot…..

I really enjoyed the Kale Ceasar Salad & the margarita pizza as well as the ragu pasta. The diavolo pizza I was disappointed by. The pastas are well executed!

ORIGINAL REVIEW: Although most people seem to go for the pizza, I go for the salads. Always fresh, well composed & delicious. They may look like a medium sized salad, but trust me there's a lot in that bowl. Only attempt to eat one yourself if you're super hungry.

UPDATE: The loss of the back terrasse is sad. It was so much more pleasant than sitting in a terrasse in a reclaimed parking spot right next to Notre Dame St. Traffic.

The white shop towels are sure to cover any dark clothing with a pile of white lint balls.

What was a great kale Caesar now has an overly sharp dressing with way too much vinegar.

Waiting 45 minutes for a pizza on a Tuesday night just after 5:00 in an empty restaurant is an unacceptable attempt to run a bar bill.

Never again.

My second time going to the restaurant & I liked the experience again but I was not happy to see that they charge tip after tax. You have been in violation of the law for more than 6 months. There is no excuse in my book.

Expérience générale impéccable.

Nous étions deux, assis au bar. Nous avons été pris en charge rapidement par le barman & notre serveur. Leur service était irréprochable.

Côté repas, tous étaient excellents. Arancini & polpettes en entrée, suivi d'une pizza style napolitaine & d'un plat de pâtes fraîches maison savoureux. Mention spéciale pour le gelato, qui était d'une onctuosité comme je n'en avais jamais gouté.

Je recommande vivement!
