Beau menu, excellente pizza avrec une pâte croustillante & garnitures de qualité, servi avec une belle & bonne salade César. Excellent service, prix ok.
Food mediocre, everything we tried was not what was expected
Tried the octopus, even though it was tender had no flavour & was masked under the hummus it was served with
Cesar salad was generous, either lacking or very little bacon
The big disappointment was the Saumon tartare which was recommended by our waitress that had no taste , however the fries were good
We skipped dessert
Service was pleasant

It's a safe environment for those who are celiac. & there are enough gf options to feel like you can enjoy your dinner without being stuck eating a green salad. The service is always great.
This place is always delicious. We've dined in a few times & the staff is friendly & welcoming, but we usually order in. We've tried every flavor of mussels on the menu & they never disappoint. The portions are generous, which is always a nice bonus. My husband usually goes for the pizza, & the salad & calamari are great too. Really good place, & we'll definitely continue to order from them.
The salads were not good to much green not enough flavor the beets were paper thin a few mango added ;the pizza dough frozen not impressed a real disappointment!!
The pizza was quite good, as was the pasta Primavera! The portions were decent-sized. The calamari app was about average. The large salad was truly large! The server was pleasant & good with a large group. The casual atmosphere was great!
Sorry to say that your prices went up, but your quality went down, proportionally. My friend had to return her wilted & sandy salad. My pasta with cream sauce should have been returned; it was swimming in the sauce which was bland. It gave me an indigestion later on. It was all very disappointing & we won't come back, sorry.

Food was great as always. We arrived on time. We were seated. It was somewhat busy & very noisy. The waitress took our order a few minutes later, but 30 minutes after we arrived, we were still waiting on the appetizer, which was a salad we were sharing. Seems like a long time to wait for a salad. Then when it arrived, so did our main courses, all at once. Seems strange to have it all delivered at once. We didn't have much time for the salad because we didn't want our food to get cold. Otherwise a good experience. Love the food.
Devrait y avoir choix de salades d'accompagnement; pas seulement des grosses salades.
Le serveur a été très efficace malgré un surcroît de travail.
Plat d'entrée de calmars beaucoup trop gros pour une personne!
BYOB places are a rare gem. Ottavio was pleasant, staff was courteous. Food was ok; I ordered the Greek salad, which isn't their specialty. The vegetables were fresh, the cheese tasted slightly old. The after-dinner coffee never showed up, though it's just as well because I saw my colleagues' coffees & they looked very weak.
I don't want to undersell the place; aside from the coffee, my colleagues all seemed quite satisfied with their meals. If you go here, I'd suggest ordering something Italian. Last time I ordered the salmon tartare which was good. Only don't try to order in Italian; the waitress had no idea what tartare di salmone was.
