Restaurant italien de style classique. Acceuil chaleureux, serveurs courtois, cocktails classiques (cosmo & negroni) bien exécutés, impressionnante carte des vins, nourriture savoureuse!
Les fleurs de zucchini farcis avec sauce tomate sont un régal. J ai bien aimé les calamars frits par contre j aurais préféré une mayonnaise assaisonnée au lieu d une sauce cocktail. Les pâtes étaient cuites à la perfection & la sauce bolognaise, généreuse, semblait tout droit sortir de la cuisine d une authentique Nonna italienne! Endroit parfaitement situé pour aller manger un bon repas avant un concert ou une partie de hockey au Centre Bell. À bientôt La Medusa!
Super souper pour l'anniversaire de ma mère la nourriture était parfaite tout comme Paolo notre super serveur c'est à refaire! Je recommande fortement pour de la nourriture typiquement Italienne.
Our new favorite place in Montreal! Been searching for a great Italian restaurant & found it. Food was great. Service was friendly & the interior was nice. Wanted to come back the next day but closed on Sunday. Our loss!
The experience was far below expectations. The price of the food was as expected but the food itself was not appetizing at all. My breaded veal was extremely soggy & dry from within, same with the cannelloni. Definitely would not recommend it.
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.

I ate at this restaurant with my family & I rate it at a perfect 10. The food, the service, the atmosphere was absolutely out of this world. We all ordered different dishes & all the meal was delicious. The wine list was plenty of good choices to choose from. Thanks to the great staff for our evening an enjoyable one. I highly recommend this restaurant to everyone
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 !
