My wife & I always wanted to try this Restaurant since we are from Ste. Dorothée. Are we glad we did.
Valentine's Menu was a plus. 3 course meal including warm Italian bread, bruschetta starter, entré, main meal, dessert & cappuccino. No longer bring your own wine, decent price wine by the glass or Italian beer.

Food was wonderful! We had grilled calamari, caprese salad, seafood pasta & my partner had ossobuco. For dessert we had the chocolate tortufo & ferraro roche cake.
The only reason I'm not giving the food 5 stars is because the caprese was chilled so I could tell it was prepared ahead of time & stored in the fridge. I would have preferred room temperature & fresh.

Made a reservation for 2 on a Friday night (July 5) at 6:30 pm to celebrate our anniversary with romantic atmosphere. We walked in to a boisterous group party of about 30 people. The waiter showed us to our table about 20 feet away & apologized in advance for the noise. We ordered a bottle of Ruffino Prosecco Rosé. It was chilled & perfect. But, with the wait staff disappearing for prolonged periods of time throughout the night, our glasses were always empty & so I ended up pouring & serving ourselves the Prosecco in our glasses all night. That's not right. Complementary bruschetta was nice touch & tasty. Commentary ciabatta bread. Good. Ordered one meatball to share. It was tepid in temperature but meatball & sauce itself were tasty. Ordered a caeser salad. Portion was good & dressing was tasty but a bit heavy on the dressing. Ordered rapini & sausage. It was okay. Main meals: (1) meat tortellini rosé which was an ok portion & pretty good. As opposed to the meatball, it came out piping hot. (2) veal Dijonnaise with side of 4 baby potatoes, a stem of broccoli & one roasted red pepper. Heavy on the sauce but overall dish was pretty good. Then wait staff came to a grinding halt & no one came back for about 20 minutes. When they finally did come to clear the dishes, they offered dessert menus. We ordered limoncello cake & tiramisu & espresso. The desserts were both excellent. Again waited a good 25 minutes for anyone to come back to tend to our table. We asked for the bill & it was finally brought. They also brought two slices of watermelon which we a nice touch. But Honest question & curious about this next point: we remember coming in past & being offered a grappa or limoncello digestive. The three tables before us who were brought bills & settling up the bill were brought digestives. Makes us wonder if the couples ordered them, or if it was an oversight on the part of our waitress or if our $190 bill didn't meet the mark of $200 to be offered this? It used to be a nice touch. Whole experience took 2.5 hours mainly due to absent or slow service. Suggestion to partition restaurant when there is a group party from other patrons. Overall disappointed with our experience.

The best casual BYOB Italian restaurant in the entire Montreal region. Superb homemade classic Italian salads, pastas, meats & desserts. Warm & inviting ambiance, like visiting an Italian aunt's home during holiday season. Very relaxed, & very comfortable. Amazing chef, prompt service, be sure to make a reservation for Thurs - Sat as they sell out often those nights!

Ce restaurant vaut la peine d'être connu. La nourriture est excellente & le service impeccable. Chaleureuse ambiance.

J'ai noté 4 étoiles au lieu de 5 à cause du niveau de bruit assez élevé & du peu d'espace entre les tables. Aussi, j'ai été déçue que mon dessert préféré n'etait plus disponible, & ce, à 21 hres 30.
