We stopped into this darling little Italian place for lunch while on a visit from California. We were absolutely delighted with our whole experience - the cheerful service, the lovely ambience, & the delicious food! We enjoyed the salad bar (definitely have the potato salad, it was very good) & bread. The onion roll was our favorite. My husband had the spaghetti & meatballs & absolutely LOVED it. The meatballs were fantastic!! I thoroughly enjoyed the tortellini with rosé sauce. The tortellini was very light, the filling was creamy, & the beautifully balanced sauce was the perfect blend of red & white. Honestly, we ate here on the second to last day of our 6 day trip & our only disappointment was that we didn't find it on day 1 or 2 so we could have gone back for more! Next time we are in Montreal you will definitely be on our list!

We had walked past this place a couple of times before dining tonight. Food was good, service was excellent & be sure to check out the Charles Dickens history from ~183 years ago…

Their wines by the glass were delicious & priced well.

The food was pretty average! Nothing special! We got Salad bar which was a total disappointment & Alfredo chicken which felt short of our lowest expectations! This is a place that we will never try again!
