i loved it! ordered the spaghetti with branzino & panna cotta for dessert & it was all delicious. incredibly simple & well executed dishes, with a very nice emphasis on good ingredients.

the spaghetti was a great meal, & a nice contrast between the richness of the sauce & the bright flavour of the cherry tomatoes. honestly i found that the fish didn't really need to be in there at all, it would have been just as good if not better as a vegetarian dish.
panna cotta was great too, i loved that the main flavour was really the fresh sweet cream, with some slight hints of lemon & vanilla.

the rest of the table ordered the filet mignon, fettucini ragu, beet salad, & eggplant parmigiana, as well as the lava cake & lemon tart for dessert, & everyone was quite happy with their food. lovely place for a very special occasion, as its quite pricey & the service is a lot more involved & upscale than i am typically used to!

Je ne m'attendais pas à ça! C'était notre première fois, nous étions au Rialto & nous cherchions un resto pas trop loin, italien de préférence. Voilà, on appelle, on réserve, on y va. Un 50 places environ, service très attentionné. Maintenant, pour la nourriture: La qualité des ingrédients, l'authenticité des produits (beaucoup d'importation d'Italie), tout fait maison. Ce n'était pas seulement manger un repas italien, c'était une expérience de la Gastronomie italienne. Lorsque la panacotta est à base de crème & ne contient pas de gélatine, ça en dit long sur la qualité & l'attention mis sur ce qu'on sert. Pas un repas petit budget, mais pour ce que nous avons reçu dans l'ensemble, je crois avoir payer le juste prix. 3 services+vin: 230$ avant pourboire.

The opposite of pretentious, lovely staff & clientèle. Super clean. The gnocchi were the first excellent gnocchi I've had in North America. My wife loved this place. Service was excellent. On the imperfect side, the coffee served was way sour, the food salty for the salt-sensitive. That said, they accomodated & gave us a less salty appetizer ; we will definitely return & recommend it.

Vraiment un resto où l on se sent complètement ailleurs. Mon mari étant sicilien a adoré ce resto sympa & accueillant. C'est un des meilleurs restos qu' il a visité depuis longtemps à Montréal. L ambiance, le service, la bouffe & le vin tout était parfait. Petites lumières tamisées & ambiance romantique. Je vous le recommande fortement. Merveilleux endroit pour un petit souper à deux.

Very neat restaurant & we are not big eaters, so we ordered an appetizer, a pasta & a secondi to share. They separated the dish into two for us. Very accommodating. Foods are good.
