Even though I made a reservation there was no table ready for us. We ended up in the noisier section of the restaurant. We had to request bread for the table....in a Italian restaurant??? The entrée came quickly & was nice. We then waited over 30 minutes for the main dish. The veal picata had a lovely sauce, but the veal was extremely hard. The veal parmesan had obviously been cooked & the stuck in the oven to melt the cheese. It was dry & chewy. The table d'haute veal was ok, but not wonderful. I ordered the crème brulee for dessert. The crème was delicious, but the sugar on top was burned. The waitress did her best & was very friendly.
For an upscale, rather expensive restaurant it was a very disappointing experience.
Souper fin mai. Saumon dans une sauce au beurre, très bon, légumes tièdes. Escalopes de veau correctes, mais les pâtes qui accompagnaient le plat pas très bonne (avis de la personne qui mange des pâtes depuis 50 ans, dans +++ restos). Dernier convive, côte d'agneau sèche & légumes tièdes. Gâteau au chocolat très sec, sûrement pas frais, qui s'est retrouvé à la poubelle chez moi. Dommage, nous aimions l'ambiance de ce resto, mais la facture ne reflétait pas la pauvre qualité de ces mets, trop dispendieuse pour la qualité. Bonne chance.

DO NOT COME HERE IF U CARE ABOUT GETTING YOUR MONEY'S WORTH
What is up with Italian & Greek restaurants these days? They keep thinking they can just give us some stale bread & unflavoured tomato sauce & price it at 40$. Not taking any of this crap.
The portions are too small considering each plate is 30-50$. When I first took a bite of my linguine primavera I could imagine the cooking process behind it: boil pasta, dump a can of grocery store tomato sauce, sauté some veg & call it a day. I see it being served in a small diner or pop up at a festival, pricing for 10$…. NOT 28$ in a fancy Italian restaurant !! The lemon chicken was fine, pretty basic, accompanied by boiled (or should I say steamed?) vegetables. I took a bite from the chicken & I got Deja vu & then I remembered where I had eaten a similar dish: at my elementary school cafeteria. Not to mention there might have been a little mishap because oops- the deep fried potato was cold- not room temp, but rather FRIDGE cold (they forgot to pop it in the microwave i guess?)
If you are though forced by your own will to dine here I would suggest the shrimp risotto if you're down to pay 38$ for it.
Yeah sure it's fine if you're invited for free supper here- you won't get food poisoning. But if you have to get a dollar out your own wallet: just know you will miss that dollar where you're back home still feeling a bit hungry.

On va bientôt déménager à proximité du Pointe Claire Village & on a voulu tester ce restaurant en premier. En voyant les prix & le style de la salle on s'est dit qu'on allait très bien manger…
Mon mari a commandé des carbonara, j'ai pris des pâtes aux légumes avec sauce au vin blanc puis nous avons partagé une salade César. Le rapport qualité-prix n'est pas bon. Les pâtes carbonara étaient très basiques, mes pâtes avaient peu de goût même si la sauce choisie avait l'air de rajouter de la tenue en bouche, quelques légumes parsemés, puis la salade était au plus simple & peu goûteuse. Un ensemble assez fade qui n'avait pas le goût du reviens-y. Par contre, seulement les mini tranches de pizza qui nous ont été offertes avant de passer commande étaient assez bonnes.
Pour le service, nous avons été servis poliment mais de manière assez brusque. Pas à la hauteur d'un endroit qui à l'air haut de gamme non plus. Les apparences peuvent être trompeuses.
Je ne recommande pas ce restaurant, ou sinon ne vous attendez pas à des plats qui valent les prix sur la carte.
The food was good! But our server messed up in one of the pasta sauces, he never came to see if everything was okay, disnt ask if we wanted anything else to drink. It took for ever to get the bill. I loved the food, but wouldnt recommend this place
Tout est excellent ,les pâtes al denté & les sauces savoureuses . L'accueil de Maria est chaleureux & le service est super . Nous y allons régulièrement & l'avons fait découvrir à plusieurs amis , mon fils dit que jusqu'à maintenant c'est le meilleur veau parmigiana qu'il a mangé C'est dorénavant notre restaurant pour le souper du nouvel an avec toute la famille. Un merci spécial à Tony le serveur ,il est toujours attentif
Me & my boyfriend were very hungry & he has eaten here before & raves about the food. So almost at closing time on a Thursday we were greeted by the hostess & the waiters were very friendly & helpful. The food was extremely fresh & tasty. I highly recommend the Fried Calamari with their house dipping sauce. The romantic atmosphere was great for us,like you are in a hot spot down in old port. Great Italian restaurant in the west island :) GRAZIE!!!
