Mon fils de 16 ans était assis sur une chaise au bout de la table, une dame assise à une chaise derrière lui avait reculé sa chaise pour s'étendre les jambes, elle ne laissait aucun espace pour mon fils qui était écrasé contre notre table. Personne n'est intervenu & mon fils a dû changer de place. Le respect pour les jeunes ne semblait pas très important ce soir là.
Malgré tout notre serveur était tout de même très sympathique, s'excusait pour la situation que mon fils avait vécu.

Je n'y retournerai pas.

Great ambiance! Knowledgeable wait staff. Friendly Host/Hostess. Salmon was perfection. Appetizers were tasty. My vongole was bland. I won't be ordering this menu item again. The linguine was cooked to perfection. I'll give the chef credit for that, but the vongole sauce, meh! The drinks were excellent, especially the Red Sangria. We ordered a Pitcher.

We were really disappointed by how the front-of-house staff handled our reservation. We had a table booked for 6 at 7:30 p.m. & arrived at 7:41 p.m., only to be told our table had already been given away. We were asked to wait with no estimate of how long it would be, & both hosts were rude & condescending when we questioned it.

Afterward, I checked our confirmation email & it clearly stated there is a 20-minute grace period, which the restaurant did not honour. We were eventually seated, & our server was pleasant, but the poor experience at the front overshadowed the meal.

The restaurant is also very loud, making conversation difficult. We will not be returning.

I had the best pizza of my life here. Honestly, before Tuesday night, I had no idea a pizza could taste this good. The same goes for their pasta, it was outstanding. Their gluten-free options were excellent & perfect for my daughter.

The service was very friendly & fast, & the atmosphere was wonderful.

I just recommended this location to a friend who is on his way to Montreal.
We will definitely be back on our next trip to Montreal!
