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!

the caesar salad was very good but for the veal scalop the taste was like not fresh meat & the quality of the gorgonzola cheese was poor.

Pas de salade maison, seulement caesar. Choix de menu limité - pas de pizza. Peut-être envisager des demi-portions pour les entrées. Par contre les gnocchis & l'osseux bucco étaient excellents.

J'ai pris un jarret de veau & il était excellent ; juste pas tout à fait assez chaud. Les pâtes de ma conjointe était très bonne. & le fait que l'on peut apportez notre vin & bien manger est très attirant. Le seul point négatif est qu'ils servent une salade César très ordinaire (pas tout mangé) avec la table d'hôte au lieu de nous servir une bonne salade italienne maison. La prochaine fois je vais essayé leur lasagne.
