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.

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.
