Would give 3.5 but no half point. We were initially happy to have found an authentic italian resto to eat with group of friends & kids. The appetizers came out quickly & were very tasty! (Arancini, polpette, rapini sausages, stuffed pasta). However, we we waited close to 1 hour for the main dishes without much transparent update from service staff. Kids were getting impatient. The dishes finally came & were good. The signature fungi egg pasta dish could have been enhanced by adding different mushrooms than the regular white one. Maybe our orders were mixed up with another or delays in the kitchen but keeping the customer postef would be appreciated.Voir plus

I'm giving this a three star, mostly for the atmosphere & friendly service. I love good Italian food & we were excited to find this almost around the corner in our neighborhood. We often have to drive out of our way to Colbert on Jean-Talon to get a good home made Italian meal so when we discovered this place we were excited. We checked the online menu before heading over to decide what to order & when we got there, my choice of Lasagna a la Nona was not on the menu & my wife's choice of Lamb was also not on the menu. We ended up having to order something else, she had the veal with cognac, in her words, it was "alright" & I had the Spaghetti Bolognese which was, sorry, bland & no real flavor to it. Honestly I wanted to like it but... I don't think we will go back, again, only two dishes but based on the experience of missing items on the menu & not enough alternative to choose from & not enough meat on the menu, very limited dessert choices... It's really too bad because we really liked the decor & again, the service was very friendly.

This was a totally hidden gem. Off the beaten path, stylish decor, wonderful staff, & the food was tremendous. The menu, while varied, is not overly large, & the dishes are more...upscale Italian. Wine selection is decent & well suited to the menu. Pricing reflects the quality of the menu & well worth it. I definitely recommend this place if you are looking for something upscale but away from the usual crowds downtown. We will definitely return!

This restaurant is fantastic. The food is fresh & vibrant. Their tomato sauce is one of the best tomato sauces I've ever had in a restaurant (many other Italian restaurants & reception halls manage to screw up a simple tomato sauce). The grilled octopus is served with a delicious barley & bean salad, & their polenta is served with peppers & sausage & it's just like what nonna would make. Everything is absolutely delectable! (Try their focaccia as an appetizer!) This is also one of the few restaurants that cooks your steak RARE if you ask for rare, not MEDIUM-RARE. They got it right the first time, & I loved that. Also, the fried calamari is fresh & delicious & not too oily.

The decor is modern & chic but still very classic. It makes for a nice romantic dinner as a couple. The music is good too! As for the service, everyone is very nice & respectful. Water glasses are always full & there is always someone around if you need them. I recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for the type of Italian food you would find in an Italian home.

Nice little restaurant. The pizzas are very tasty & well-cooked. Authentic Italian cuisine! It's nice to have a decent Italian restaurant in this part of town.
