Loved this place! Great authentic Italian restaurant with friendly, Italian, service & (finally!) a good Italian pizza! Excellent crust, just the way it should be. Prosciutto è Melone was great, as was the Arugula salad…. Wonderful! White tablecloths, just as you want it. Mille Grazie!

Nous avons une très belle soirée.
Un service courtois & à l'italienne.

Les plats sont excellents,
On nous a conseillé la pizza à l'érable, j'étais sceptique mais je dois avouer qu'elle était excellente.

Merci pour l'excellent service!

The food was ok, not very rich in flavors, the size of the pizza was good, but I think it was a bit overpriced for what they offered.
The service was awful, the guy who served us was fine, but when we asked some questions about the bill, another guy (apparently manager or owner) was extremely rude, he was clearly mad about us questioning what they charged, he finally fixed the bill without saying a word, which made the moment very uncomfortable. Definitely not coming to this place again

Unfortunately, the food didn't live up to our expectations. We ordered the carbonara & the Bari pizza. The pasta was slightly undercooked, & the'sauce' felt more like plain egg yolks than a proper creamy carbonara; it lacked flavor & cohesion. The Bari pizza was topped with vegetables that were extremely bitter & overly salty, which made it hard to enjoy. Even the Greek salad was far too salty. Overall, the food quality was underwhelming, & we left disappointed.

The food was just as great as the service ! The food came in super fast despite being on a Friday night during Formula 1 weekend. Definitely worth a try if you love pizza. A lot of places have a well cooked dough but that doesn't stand under its own weight. That pizza dough was crunchy & tasty. I was really happy with it. The only'downside' I suppose, are the prices for drinks, 20$ for a Martini but it's getting hard to find reasonably priced drinks anywhere these days.

Overall would definitely recommend for sure. I didn't catch our server's name, but a super nice guy from Naples, his smile & jokes made the experience even better !

Une expérience gastronomique exceptionnelle! Le service était irréprochable, l'équipe attentionnée & professionnelle. L'ambiance chaleureuse & conviviale m'a immédiatement charmé. & que dire de la pizza... un véritable délice! Les saveurs étaient parfaitement équilibrées, avec une pâte croustillante & des ingrédients frais. Un lieu incontournable pour les amateurs de bonne cuisine!
