Très bonne pizza, on aurait pris l'entrée de calmars & crevettes chaudes, c'était plutôt tiède & mou, mais pour le reste, endroit très sympa, bons vins.
A good little pizza spot with tasty food, a solid wine selection & friendly staff.
The crust was delicious & nicely blistered, however the toppings didn't quite come together for me. The balsamic vinegar on the fior di latte, micro arugula, & prosciutto pizza felt like a note that pulled the balance off, at least for me.
The Jean Talon market salad however, had me singing. It was fresh & vibrant - especially impressive in the middle of January. I would absolutely recommend the salad.
The tiramisu fell a bit flat for me. I was really hoping for more intensity & flavor.
The atmosphere hit all the markers of a casual neighborhood pizza spot. Overall, it was a very enjoyable stop.

My partner & I visited on a Saturday evening & ordered the Jean Talon salad, fried calamari, Capricciosa, & Diavola pizzas. Located in the heart of Little Italy, the restaurant sits among numerous excellent dining options in the area.
The service was outstanding-attentive, professional, & accommodating. The interior is nicely decorated, though we were seated beneath a large light fixture in the center of the room where the lights continuously flickered in intensity, which became somewhat distracting.
The Jean Talon salad was excellent-fresh greens with a standout vinaigrette. Unfortunately, the fried calamari fell short of expectations. They lacked the crispiness I was hoping for, arriving pale & soft. The seasoning was too mild for my taste, & the accompanying tomato dip was one-dimensional, lacking any depth beyond basic tomato flavor.
The pizzas, however, were excellent. Both were generously sized with well-balanced toppings & a lovely crust.
We'll definitely return, though we'll skip the calamari next time-& hopefully the lighting issue will be resolved.
Quelle belle soirée nous avons vécu dans ce restaurant aux serveurs attentionnés & aux mets délicieux. Nous nous sommes partagés les entrées dont la salade de pieuvre & des croquettes de riz à la romaine. J ai obtenu une délicieuse pizza Hawaï sans fromage comme je l aime, & la végétarienne fut très appréciée. Tout cela accompagné par un vin de toscane soigneusement recommandé par le gérant.
Merci à toute l'équipe, nous reviendrons assurément.
J'ai adoré les vins qui m'ont été recommandés! Pizza bonne comme toujours. Ambiance cozy, toujours rempli. Je suggère au resto de revoir l'ambiance musicale, je pense qu'il y a une belle opportunité :)
