We went here for dinner & got the bolognese, pesto tonnarelli, & tiramisu. The food & service were amazing! Would highly recommend to anyone in Montreal.
Some of the best pasta I've ever had. The pesto & the bolognese dishes are beyond amazing. The staff, from the servers to the chefs are just fantastic & so damn welcoming. But please don't sleep on the Caesar salad, minestrone soup & desserts!!
Très bon, sans prétention. Les pâtes au pesto sont un vrai régal. Pareil pour la burrata, la focaccia, la salade César... Bref, tout est très bon. On y retourne encore & encore !
The food was delicious ! We had the pesto pasta & the panzanella salad. They were made with care & quality ingredients & as result were very fresh & flavorful ! An excellent & welcoming service & ambiance too ! I definitely recommend this gem !
Absolutely insane food. Everything was so good, service was fast, & I loved the open kitchen concept by the bar so you can watch the chefs cook! The menu is just right-not too many options so as to be overwhelmed, but every dish had its own spin, be it a unique pasta shape or an unexpected flavor profile. We had the burrata with focaccia (10/10), the bolognese, & one of the pesto pasta dishes. The dessert menu was excellent as well, which is not always the case for dinner establishments-we thoroughly enjoyed the pistachio coffee cake & tiramisu with a bit of an orange zest kick. Servers were prompt & friendly.
Restaurant was mediocre. Apparently all tables only by reservations, however it wasn't that full on a Saturday night & we got seated at the bar. Had antipasti, olives, Caesar salad, swordfish & pesto pasta. Sitting on the bar allowed us to see how the food was cooked & at some point I wish I didn't see it. There was 0 passion in the cooking, food was pretty much tossed around, hands were going in all kinds of containers even the ones that had spoons in them, honestly it was awful to witness. Everything is basically showered in olive oil. Olives were dry & old. Caesar salad didn't have Caesar sauce, it didn't taste like Caesar sauce at all. Swordfish for $36 wasn't fresh & cooked questionably. The pesto pasta was alright, nothing phenomenal. (I'm surprised the reviews are so amazing) The servers were nice though. All around the food was nothing special, the vibe was nice to suggest it's a good restaurant, however after seeing how the food was prepared & tasting it, I can't even give 3 stars.
It's the 4th time I go but unfortunately every time I like it less. The pesto pasta is inconsistent. Last time, I wouldn't call it al dente it was uncooked. The waitresses were clogged up at the station on the terasse bashing the different clients right next to us it was so unprofessional. What shocked us: After our waitress left us the dessert menu we were discussing between ourselves for a few minutes what desserts we would like & she came out of the blue & rudely told us that nothing bad will happen to us whether we order one or another & that it wouldn't cause the end of the world. It wasn't nice & we felt bad...& we were nice to her all through our supper!
