An Italian meal that wasn't spectacular but was delicious. However, dessert was a huge disappointment. My sister & I chose the following dishes: - Parfait au Foie Gras (appetizer) ~ $32 - Octopus (appetizer) ~ $26 - Lobster Risotto (main course) ~ $53 - Magret de Canard (main course) ~ $46 - Tiramisu (dessert) ~ $18 - Strawberry Rhubarbe (dessert) ~ $18 Talking about the food, I especially like the foie gras with the combination of cherries that makes the dish very fresh, but still retains the original flavor of the foie gras with a light, fatty elegance & a smooth texture. However, the Lobster Risotto, although the dish that my sister & I were looking forward to, was a bit bland, the flavor was normal & nothing special. Dessert was a real disappointment. This is the worst tiramisu I have ever eaten, whether it is a mid-range restaurant, dessert shops or Michelin restaurants, all have desserts that are superior to this one. My sister & I were having a very comfortable & enjoyable dinner, but the dessert experience made the meal go down a notch. In terms of space, the restaurant will be a bit difficult to find with a rather dark space. The price does not include 15% VAT & 25% tip. The total bill was nearly $300 for 2 people, not too expensive but still not worthy of the quality that my sister & I expected.

Outstanding food & service! Try the lobster risotto + any of their desserts.

As an Italian, I will give my honest review; this is not an upscale Italian restaurant. Atmosphere: too noisy, tables have no cover, poor Ikea chairs, definitely not a place for a date. The only decent dish was the risotto, amazing taste. The other dishes had many cooking mistakes like chili on the seafood pasta or too much bell peppers on the octopus, the dessert was a tasteless disaster strawberry fronzoli. Total price for a couple with a bottle of Franciacorta 330 CAD. How about hire an Italian chef & have some real traditional Italian options like Ossobuco Risotto?

Located in an old foundry in a very offbeat location, the atmosphere is quite nice. The service was efficient & attentive. The food was very good...a pasta & a risotto. The only negative was that the menu was very limited. Overall a positive dining experience.

It was my second time eating here (first time was last year). I came back because my first time was so good. I had lobster risotto both times, & both times it was delicious. Great food & great cocktails. Extensive wine list. Easily one of my favourite restaurants in Montreal! Reservations are recommended. My only wish is if they had more gluten free dessert options.

J'ai bien aimé l'ambiance mais je trouves que pour une assiette de pâtes, elle était trop cher. J'ai pris le risotto & j'étais déçue. 49$ mais ça goûte pas grand chose. Par contre, la tartelette de lapin (entrée) était bonne! La linguine était bonne aussi!

J’ai pris le risotto au homard, grosse déception, un peu trop acide, manque d’assaisonnement, on ne sentait pas le homard… ca fait beaucoup d’erreurs dans une assiette à 45 dollars, je pense même faire mieux maison.

Pour la cuisine :
Les entrées étaient bonnes.

Les plats principaux :
- Risotto au homard : j'avais vu de bonnes reviews sur ce plat donc j'ai voulu l'essayer. Grosse déception. En soit c'est pas mauvais mais pour un plat à ce prix là j'aurais aimé quelque chose de plus relevé. C'était fade, c'est bien dommage.
- Bucatini travers de porc : on s'attendait à avoir un vrai travers de porc. Il s'agit en fait plus de Bucatini avec une sauce au porc. Bien que surprise, le plat était en soit très bon avec un mélange de saveurs très intéressant.
Les desserts étaient bons en particulier le sablé crème au chocolat.

Service
Très bon conseil en vin.
Serveur qui au début donnait un bon service.
Quand nous lui avons dit que nous avions été déçues par le risotto, nous l'avons senti beaucoup plus froid. C'est encore là dommage car cette "critique' s'est faite poliment & n'était pas liée à son service.

Ambiance
Restaurant style industriel.
Trop bruillant à mon goût.
