The food was absolutely mouth watering! Best homemade gnocchi I've ever had - they tasted like perfect soft clouds, they were so delicious. The owner Ralph is so accommodating! Will definitely be making this restaurant a staple I'll keep going back to. Vibe & atmosphere is amazing for family Gatherings too!
The food was amazing! Eddy & Ralph make you feel right at home. They always accommodate my food preferences. Highly recommend this gem. Try the seafood pasta, octopus & / or salmon tartare are my favorites. I love that as you sit down they bring you some foods to snack on. Finally, I've never had trouble with parking!
Discovered this utter gem near Jean Talon Market last night. Exquisite entrée of grilled octopus followed by a fresh pasta dish of mushroom tagliatelle that I cannot stop raving about! Dessert was probably the best tiramisu I've ever had & a perfect cappuccino. Wine list is lovely & not too contrived or confusing. & service? Absolutely hands-down spot-on. Highly recommend this little eatery, but make reservations because it was -understandably- packed on a Friday evening.
Holy shit! The food & service was extraordinary. Would highly recommend. I had the spaghetti putanesca. Soon good. Tasted my friend plates, the braised beef & the snails. They were super good.
An awesome find & short walk from the shopping on St. Hubert Street. Amazing homemade pastas, fantastic burrata & focaccia bread that is perfectly crispy on the outside & warm & soft on the inside. If we are ever again in the area, we will be back! Gratzie!
Took my fiancé for dinner here on a Friday night. Each & every plate was excellent; had 2 appetizers (octopus & the tuna tartare) & 2 main plates (braised beef on the bone & a white fish). I also tried their pasta & it was amazing; a classic Italian dish. Ended the evening with a wonderful tartufo! The service was top notch & the ambiance was quite nice. It's located in a cute little neighbourhood right near the Jean-Talon market. Finding parking was fairly simple too. Definitely going to return.
