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.

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.

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!
