Founded in 1960 by brothers Peppino and Federico Corneli, the restaurant continues to uphold the same authentic recipes passed down through generations. A true family business, it is now proudly run by the new generation — Nicola, Pina, and Alex Corneli, together with Chef Joe Nicodemo. Our homemade pasta, hand-crafted by Nonna Donna, remains the heart and soul of our cuisine. And of course, our pizza baked in an oven imported from Italy delivers that traditional taste we’re famous for.

Whether it's for simple pasta or sophisticated dish, they master it all!!
We tried the Penne Alfredo with Parmesan it was absolutely delicious. & then went for the homemade lasagna which is AMAZING!!
The service is very friendly, our waiter Rayan was extremely friendly & helpful with a lot of class!! His recommendations were on point especially the wine that I invite you try as well
Personnel professionnel. Cuisine : pas très raffinée. Ce que l'on n'a pas en qualité, nous l'avons en quantité. Nous avons été reçu avec des bouchées de pizza avec du piment mariné, ça c'était bon. Ensuite nous avons pris des calamars fris, étonnamment c'était pas mal du tout. Le dessert était copieux, j'ai pris un tiramisu. J'aurais aimé un peu plus de café & moins de crème, mais la portion était généreuse. J'ai été plus déçue de l'escalope. Beaucoup trop de panure & pas croustillante. En accompagnement J'ai pris les légumes car c'est rare qu'un restaurant au Québec propose des légumes grillés. Ils n'étaient pas grillés ni très appétissant. L'expérience était bonne mais si je dois y retourner, je me contenterais des pâtes.
Great - east Italian spot.. This place is a full package of cozy atmosphere, delecious yummy food, prompt & friendly service & reasonable prices.
I came here with 2 of my friends, we shared a pizza with prosciutto, & an unforgettable salad with mixed greens aritichoke hearts, bococcini & balsamic vinaiger everything was so perfect, we wouldn't change anything.
The service is on another level! our server Kathryn was just addorable, she was patient until we decided what to take we loved her.
Not only we recommend this place but we can't wait to come again for more delecious options.
Had a great lunch here a week ago, got the ravioli alla Gigi it was a generous portion & so delicious! We also started with baked brie with honey & walnuts that was also delicious just felt that the crustini's that came with it weren't enough but we just asked for more bread to compensate. Finally we had the Ferrero Roche cake for dessert & shared it by 2 it was more than enough. Very rich & delicious my only note was that it was a bit too cold for me, definitely came out of the fridge but it tasted fresh. I will definitely be back to try the pizza next time. The space was really nice & had a good ambiance & music. Our waiter was super nice & attentive!
