Favourite place we have visited in Montreal! Beautiful environment & atmosphere, our waiter James gave the sweetest most attentive service i have ever experienced. He was patient with us explaining the menu options & was always offering suggestions for drinks, desserts & meals. Great italian food, the ceasar salad & gnocchi pasta was 10/10! Would 100% recommend trying this place if you're in the area.View more

Overrated. Food was really not impressive. Service was ok, I had to ask for butter for my bread or else I wouldn't get it. The place looked nice but the food was really not good. I won't go back.View more

The food was solid. But I left the meal after 3 hours & they werent done. It was troublingly hot in the courtyard (not their fault). But after fanning yourself with a menu & multiple requests for more water, you just lose your appetite. I think a party > 6 may be too big for them.View more

Très bel endroit, le décor est vraiment réussi. Malheureusement, c'est à peu près le seul point positif. Le service laissait à désirer, même si le restaurant était presque vide. & côté bouffe, grosse déception : toutes les pâtes étaient trop cuites, & les plats ne valaient clairement pas le prix. Dommage, car le lieu avait du potentiel.View more

A hidden gem. Book your table outside & feel transported! Pastas are delicious, personal favorite here is the vongole. Delivers each tine. A lovely spot to bring out of town guests especially after the fine arts museum - it is just down the street!View more

Il faut y aller pour la magnifique terrasse !! La nourriture est ok mais rien de trop mémorable c'est vraiment l'ambiance européenne qui fait le charme de ce restaurant. Le service était aussi très lent, sans serveur attitré à chaque table.View more

the atmosphere was amazing. it's stunning. I didn't think the service was spectacular & same with the food. It was very fancy but I think it was just okay for the price.View more

Like an evening in an Italian piazza, the food is authentic Italian, the service is excellent, a hidden gem in the heart of downtown Montreal. Enjoyed an evening doing outdoors, the ambiance, decor & music transports you to Europe. Highly

Superbe expérience! J'y suis allé en famille pour mon anniversaire & je n'ai pas été déçu. L'endroit était magnifique, surtout à l'extérieur. Les serveurs étaient très accueillants & gentils. Honnêtement je leur tire mon chapeau! Concernant la nourriture, tout était parfait du début à la fin. Coup de coeur pour la Mozzarella Di Bufala en entrée, c'était excellent. Au final, la soirée nous a coûtée une petite somme, mais ça en valait largement le coup!View more
