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.

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.

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!

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
Recommended!!
