Nous sommes allés au knuckles pour la première fois en mars & on a découvert un bijou de notre quartier!

De la bonne bouffe, dans un décor intentionnel, de la bonne musique en plus d'avoir reçu un service incroyable de notre serveur Olivier

On a été très bien conseillé & on a goûté plusieurs plats sur le menu!

Nous avons pris le panzerotti classique aux tomates & le Montréal Smoked meat en entrée & on a adoré!

On a ensuite pris 2 plats de pâtes à tomber par terre! Les fameux gnocchis verde de Nonna & les classiques marinaras

Le tout accompagné d'un cocktail Spagliato d'hiver, on est sortis de cet établissement le ventre plein & pleinement satisfaits de notre expérience!

Nous y sommes déjà retournés pour une soirée Caccio i pepe, on ne pourrait être plus satisfait. Meilleure façon de passer un mardi soir pluvieux!

Je recommande chaudement!!
Vous nous reverrez très bientôt, c'est certain!

Les gnocchis sont à tomber, & les plats saisonniers sont toujours excellents! Ils peuvent facilement accommoder les végétariens. Je recommande chaudement :)

Accueil & service excellents.
Plats délicieux. Excellent rapport qualité-prix.
Magnifique restaurant, mais un peu bruyant lors de notre visite.
Ce n'est pas la première fois que nous allons souper là & nous prévoyons y retourner :)

Came here a few days ago with my girlfriend, & we ordered the Hawaiian knuckle that was essentially a panzerotti. It was really good & we were able to split it between the two of us.

We also got a nice selection of bottled wine, which was really nice, it was the first time I've ever got an entire bottle of wine at a restaurant before so it was a treat.

We ended up getting the salad that had everything bagel seeds on top with some awesome mixture salad dressing that was just a complete home run

We also got the steak fries with a side of french fries that tasted amazing

The atmosphere was really cool. The staff was extremely friendly & absolutely helpful when we had questions.

The restaurant was clean & with the winter snowy night it just made everything even better. It was like the scene out of a movie, I really enjoyed myself here & will definitely come back again. Definitely recommended that you bring your friends & family out.

Also, the prices are very formidable no complaints & they are good portions for the price you pay.

Première expérience dans ce petit resto de quartier tout chou. Le service était rapide, la bouffe malade, les pâtes étaient fantastiques, les panzerottis étaient croustillantes à souhait & le dessert simplement wow. Le menu table d'hôte nous a remplie de bonheur. Belle découverte culinaire je le recommande fortement
