This elegant Italian restaurant located in the heart of downtown on rue Drummond is truly a gem of Montreal. The pizzas & pastas are to die for especially the pizza inspired by the Montreal Canadians which has maple sirop! A must try is the traditional tiramisu as well! Super comfortable & elegant chairs & table set up & the servers including Pablo & the rest of the staff go above & beyond in order to deliver service & friendliness beyond what I have ever experienced' if you want true Italy in Montreal, go here! You will be blown away. The pizzas are made in a stone oven, just like in Italy & the pasta is succulent, fresh & extraordinary! grazie mille al team di signori che si sono presi cura di noi come se fossimo delle celebrità I will return again & tell everyone I. Know about this gem & fully recommend it as one of my favorite if not my preferred Italian restaurant in Montreal !!!!

The food was amazing. I ordered the Penne Santa Barbara & it was served hot & looked fantastic. It was very creamy & the salmon was perfect. The staff was amazing & very friendly. Very funny & I never had to wait too long for anything I ordered or asked for.

The servers were rude & acted like they didn't care about our orders, they didn't serve us any water for 30 minutes, took forever to take our orders & we had to wait 40 mins for our food to be served. We had to leave before our food arrived because it was taking a long time & they tried to charge us for the food we didn't get to eat. The only reason I give 4 stars in food is because the appetizer was good, I just wish I had gotten to try the other stuff.

Didn't have a great experience. My tagliatele noodles were undercooked (below al dente) though others who ordered thinner noodles like spaghetti were al dente, which makes me believe they cook all types of noodles the same amount of time. Wrong. Everyone did agree on flavour being good though. Servers were a bit confused & all over the place. A touch rude when answering menu questions but nothing overboard. We were asked if we wanted flat or sparkling, we said flat & were served that, but then other servers came in & refilled our cups with sparkling (which we didn't want but tolerated). We were then all charged for sparkling. It's a small amount so I let it slide, but it bugged me on the principle of being charged for their mistake... Overall, multiple small but tolerable mistakes for an okay meal. Still, at this price range, I expect better & I wouldn't go back. You go to these types of places to have a good business lunch. Nobody wants to nitpick on mistakes in that setting.

Arrogant service people, overpriced average food, restaurant personnel have absolutely no respect for customers. I have eaten there twice. The first & last time.

We were a table of 8 plus a baby. Brought my family whom was from out of town to come eat to celebrate my stepson's admission into the army. The owner/waiters were so attentive & caring & gave us extra attention by conversating with us as well as showing how they are family oriented. It was exceptional service that we have never gotten in any other restaurant i have been to in Montreal or even anywhere. The food was excellent with not a long wait between courses. The whole meal ended with a little extra thought by the waiter whom brings a little glass filled with candy. The finishing touch that makes the clientele want to come back. Thank you for the lovely evening. It was the perfect memorable soirée :-)

Restaurant italien authentique. Mon entrée d'escargots & mon plat rigatoni gigi étaient très délicieux, les pâtes goûteuses, bien assaisonnées & parfaitement aldente! Mini bémol: même si vous prenez de l'eau plate, elle est chargée en supplément, mais sinon le staff & service c'était parfait.
