This isn't our first time here - we keep coming back because it's the perfect place to unwind & enjoy a great evening. It's become a favorite for us whenever we want to treat ourselves to something truly special.
The cozy atmosphere & carefully chosen background music create a warm, relaxing vibe every time. It's the kind of spot that makes you feel instantly at ease.
We started with the prosciutto, parmesan, & the mushroom arancini, which were crispy on the outside & tender on the inside.
As for the mains, the poulet parmigiana was outstanding - juicy, crisp, & full of flavor. The lobster ravioli was rich & refined, & the lardo & mushroom pizza was absolutely delicious - a perfect combination of indulgence & balance.
The portions are generous, so the pricing feels completely fair. We often take leftovers home - there's always more than enough to enjoy.
One thing we really appreciate: everything is clearly homemade. You can taste the care & craftsmanship in every bite. It's always a pleasure to know that this team puts so much heart into what they do - from scratch, by hand, & with pride.
The restaurant is also immaculately clean, & it's obvious that the staff pays close attention to every detail - from the plating to the warm, attentive service.
This place is a gem - consistent, authentic, & full of soul. We're already looking forward to our next visit.
Pasta made fresh at the restaurant & the quality was outstanding in my opinion. I absolutely loved what I got: gnocchi with mozzarella & tomatoes in a pesto sauce. Cute space & really easy to hear each other talk even though there was music. The pizza looked good but none of us tried it, I like that there were cauliflower crust options & other gluten free options too if you need that. Also lots of veg options. We were served toasted bread & olives with oil & balsamic to start & they were perfect. I definitely recommend this place & especially before all those new condo developments bring in tons more people. We had two cars & were able to park right in front on a Saturday night.

We stumbled on this location when it popped up on the map near our air bnb on a girls weekend away. The atmosphere was romantic & unique with vintage decor with modern elements. The wine selection & liquor for cocktails were great. We chose to ordered a variety of apps & mains. The best & most unique across all 5 of us ... was the bruschetta lard with roasted tomato's! Insane! So delicious. I would eat that everyday. We always all enjoyed the mushroom stuffed gnocchi with cream truffle sauce. The pizza, cesar salad, mushroom aranchini balls, & burata were allllll so amazing. Lots of gluten free pasta choices & pizza. It was quite a quiet area with road construction, parking right out front. It was a romantic vibe. We all snacked on the leftovers overs the next day. Great portions! Our server was lovely! She helped us navigate the language barrier with kindness.
Quand je vois 5*, je pense qu'on a pas été au même endroit. Service minimum sans être mauvais il n'a rien d'exceptionnel. Le lieu ou est situé le restaurant n'a pas d'interêt particulier & l'intérieur est sympa, mais rien de fou non plus. Là ou j'aurai mis 1 seule étoile c'est la cuisine. Aucun intérêt, les pizzas son fades, pauvres, sans goût. Personne n'a fini son plat. Pour ma part j'ai pris la « spécialité » les pâtes « Abruzzo » : c'est des spaghettis sauce tomates avec basilic & 3 morceaux de parmesan dessus, & qui trempent dans l'eau.
FANTASTIC! Everything was excellent. LOVED the gluten free pizza! The waitress was completely awesome. Professional, kind, clearly has learned French in a very short amount of time, she was great. I really enjoyed the place & would highly recommend it to anyone looking to have a wonderful Montréal experience. Also the best homemade pasta I've ever had.
Le restaurant est beau la nourriture est très bonne mais j'ai mangé une pizza sans gluten & étant coeliaque j'ai été malade il y a du avoir une contamination croisée dommage les pizzas étaient excellente.
Ma revue est ambivalante, parce que d'une part, j'ai beaucoup aimé l'endroit, l'ambiance était agréable, on avait un beau petit coin pour notre groupe & on a eu un bon moment. Le service était courtois, par contre notre serveuse semblait avoir de la difficulté à communiquer en français. On a fini par se comprendre, alors c'est ça l'important. La partie de ma revue qui m'amène à trois étoiles est la nourriture. Lors de notre visite, il n'y avait que des pizzas sans gluten au menu. Le gluten est généralement ce qui donne la texture & le goût à une pâte à pizza, je trouve donc étrange pour une restaurait italien de n'offrir que du sans gluten. La pâte était sans goût & la texture laissait à désirer. La prochaine fois, j'irai pour autre chose que de la pizza, d'après-moi, ce sera pour le mieux. (Je vais réviser ma note après ma prochaine visite).
