Great experience & very good service. The sausage sandwich blew us away. The orecchiette were perfect & the yellow tomato sauce was succulent. The foccacia is unlike any other I've had in canada
An absolute gem! This place is beyond adorable - from the cozy vibe to the perfectly brewed espressos & every delicious bite in between. But what really blew me away? The service. Warm, attentive, & so genuine. They really know how to create a memorable experience here. 10/10, would recommend in a heartbeat.

Hands down the best focaccia we've ever tasted-perfectly crisp, fluffy, & full of flavour. The space is small but super cute & cozy, with a great vibe. The drinks were also great. Highly recommend if you're in Montreal & craving something delicious & authentic!
Foccacia was delicious however the orecchiette was so undercooked & hard. Not even al dente, it was difficult to chew & swallow. At $30 a plate I would think my pasta would be atleast soft enough to bite through
Nice cozy place to have lunch with a special person!
We ordered focaccia & pasta. Both were really good !
I recommend to go there but be careful sometimes you need to wait more than 30min to have a spot!
Eravamo andate al parco di Mont Royal e volevamo mangiare qualcosa di italiano. Posto trovato su internet ed è stata una bellissima scoperta....bell'ambiente, la focaccia e il panzerotto ottimi, anche il panino con il capocollo buonissimo, servizio veloce e gentile. Proprietario simpatico...ci siamo fermate anche a fare due chiacchiere. Posto stra consigliato da provare!! Complimenti!
The Best Focaccia in Montreal! My third time at this place. The focaccia is really good. The taste is well balanced. My favorite is the one with hot honey sauce topped with figs. I also ordered the pesto pasta which is quite ok. the Local Beer taste good as well. Friendly service. The place is not so big.
