Tjrs un endroit agréable où à l'époque on pouvait apercevoir M. G. Lafleur. Belle ambuance. Service un peu inégale Les plats sont chauds & la pizza au four de feu est la star du resto.

Very nice place to eat. We had lunch there the menu had great choices. Can accommodate large groups for office parties. There a huge pizza oven where they make their pizzas. It smells divine.
I wonder why I have driven past this place 1000 times & never appreciated it. Finding places like this in your own neighbourhood that have been overlooked is so nice! Super impressed with everything - service, portions, ambiance, value, quality, cocktails. Scratching me head as to why I haven't been coming regularily here!

I hadn't been here for over 10 years.
The bread they give in the beginning is so moist.
I can say the pasta is still so yummy like I remember, although the portions are huge, definitely dont make the same mistake as us & get the small portion of the pastas because the small is pretty big.
We got the fettuccine & the carbonara & both of them were really good, the pear salad was refreshing, the soup was good aswell. Just to say that we were in a food coma after this. I will definitely come back & not wait 10 years this time

I love this place! It's a classic & such a family-oriented restaurant. I always come here when I'm craving Italian comfort food. My favorite is the chicken parm! The interior is super cute, & the patio in the summer is amazing.
I usually make a reservation since it can get pretty full. The only downside is that service can be inconsistent. I've had amazing experiences with kind & attentive staff, but on my last visit, the server was quite rude & seemed uninterested. She didn't even ask if we wanted bread, & her attitude honestly made me feel unwelcome. Meanwhile, tables around us were getting great service, so maybe it just wasn't her day, but it did leave a sour taste.
Overall, I still love this restaurant & will definitely be back, though maybe I'll stick to takeout next time.
The portions are generous & the food was well prepared. 5 stars.
Atmosphere 4 stars :
The restaurant has only 2 TV screens but the hockey game was playing. There was background music that was very low volume which was great. Just loud enough to be perceptible.
We sat on a corner table & my perception is that it was the darkest corner of the restaurant. I could barely see what I was eating. Maybe add more light.
There was a big table right next to us & they were really loud, so maybe space out the tables more. Or have the 6+ tables in the lower floor area.
Service was a bit slow. It felt like the restaurant might have been short staffed at full capacity. Maybe add one more waiter & one more person in the kitchen. Our waiter Amy was very sweet. 5 stars.

Another perfect experience. Everyone , especially the person who refilled the water, had smiles & personality +++. I ordered a vegan option, which was a small variation on the menu. I was served a delicious dinner without any fuss from chef. I will definitely order this again!
The service was excellent - fast, friendly, & efficient. The pizza was delicious & flavorful. I particularly enjoyed the seafood pasta, which had a delicious sauce. I would highly recommend trying the pizza & tiramisu. While the restaurant is a bit pricey, the quality of the food makes it worthwhile for a special occasion.
