Plus my friend was…read moretreating since she hit the jackpot at the casino :) For entrée we had the fried calamari and smoked salmon. The fried calamari's batter was soft and slightly salty and the meat was fresh and tender, it was served with a wedge of lemon and home made mayo. This will hit the spot if you like fried calamari. The salmon was fresh and tender, it was accompanied with pickled red onions and thin slices of olives. Hints of salty and sour on a canvas of fresh lightly cured salmon nice balance which complemented well with the calamari. Then we had 3 pasta dishes for our mains and skipped the secondo course and opted for dessert instead. The table next to us ordered the short rib main dish and it looked delish but sadly our appetite was not with us, maybe next time. We had the linguine with lobster and rosé sauce, the risotto with porcini mushroom and white truffle oil and gnocchi wit four cheese. The risotto was very fragrant, never thought mushroom had much flavor but in this dish it was very apparent, you could smell the porcini and truffle throughout, and the rice was cooked to perfection soft but not mushy, yum, by far the best risotto I've ever had! The lobster linguine with rosé sauce was just as good. The pasta was fresh and tender without being mushy, it soaked up the sauce very well, so tasty I was already sad after the first bite cuz I knew I would crave this again the next day. The gnocchi was full of cheese a little overwhelming for my taste but if you like cheese I strongly recommend it. The texture is very soft and melts in your mouth. For dessert we had the tiramisu and the profiteroles. The tiramisu was soft and melts in your mouth, with strong coffee flavor it was perfect and hit the spot. The profiteroles were crazy food. The shells were soft they were not hard even when served with ice cream, it was refreshing and drizzled with chocolate sauce yum! Best of all we just walked in with no RSVP and we were seated right away!!! Great place, will be coming here often, the pasta here is really top notch. The pastas all come in entré and main sizes allowing for sampling if you like, the staff is quite friendly and accommodating.

Omg! I have been to hundreds of restaurants over the years, and THIS RESTAURANT, is THE BEST…read moreItalian restaurant on planet Earth! It's a small restaurant but very busy. There's no music, but nonetheless, it's very loud due to the conversations of other patrons. After placing our drinks, we were given bruschetta and bread basket. The bread basket came with a garlicky, savory pureed garlic dip and the bruschetta actually took me off guard as to how good it was! Afterwards, we had the octopus, beef carpaccio, mushroom risotto, seabass, and chocolate souffle. Everything we had was absolutely amazing and I could not have imagined a better meal! Overall, 10 out of 5 stars as this restaurant truly has no competition!

A lengthy wine menu and a much briefer food menu are given on clipboards. Very interesting choices on both. You'll find several types of bread in the basket, all of which we enjoyed. We tried a couple of different salads (one with an amazing type of heirloom tomato), followed by gnocchi (smoky, with proscuitto) and the risotto of the day (duck, that day). We both agreed that the gnocchi was the best either of us had ever tried, and the risotto was in the top 5. The food is not inexpensive, but it was of such quality and we had such good service, I think it was worth every penny! (Or nickel, now that we aren't using pennies?) Next time, I would like to try the cheese plate, and dessert!

Went here with my bf when we dared to venture out into the Canadien cold this winter…read more The concierge at our hotel had this menu and since i eat scallops, i was drawn to their offer of scallops so decided to give this restaurant a try. I was not disappointed. We opened up a delicious bottle of Chardonnay and it was really good. The server was polite and courteous and every dish was timed really well. I enjoyed the atmosphere very much for it was quiet and romantic. We got a booth seat so i can put my jacket next to me and i felt very comfortable. The appetizer course was a butternut soup wihch was really good and i ordered my bf a salad which was amazing with its sherry-shallot vinaigrette. The salad was simple with slivers of parmesan, light dressing and croutons-- just how i love my salads. The soup was good too, not too sweet with croutons to spice up the taste as well. I liked my scallops but they were served a bit cold...there were five scallops and i'm glad that not too little were given. I think the boy enjoyed his sea bass too... Dessert!!! My fave molten cake did not disappoint. I loved it a lot and it even came with a hot chocolate which was really cool. If i visit Montreal again, i think i would return for the salad and the hot chocolate. I would recommend having more vegetarian options though. But overall, love the atmosphere, service, wine and dessert. :)

This place is clearly a neighborhood favorite. Huge tables of families out for Sunday dinner…read more Totally packed, with extra (heated in cold weather) seating out back. Family friendly (lots of kids) in spite of the fact that the menu is really high quality. Incredibly friendly service. The menu looks a little small at first; a few antipast, a few main courses, literally 3 basic pasta dishes. To me this is always a good sign; a small menu tells me this check wants to do a limited number of dishes really well. And oh boy were these good. We had a simple linguini in a cream sauce with lardons, mushrooms and onions. Not too much dairy, not too salty, perfect flavor and texture, perfect al dente fresh pasta. Just heaven. 99% of cream sauces make a dish too heavy to enjoy and this one was so easy to eat. My wife had a gnocci packed full of roasted veg (beats, broccoli) with pesto and almonds and it was so fresh and warm and nourishing. The pizza was unlike any I've ever had - more sauce than i'm used to and it came UNCUT! I've never had a pizza delivered whole which honestly suprised and delighted me (though I did have them take it back and cut it for me, I was gonna butcher that thing.) The crust was delicious and perfect, simple margarita ingredients were perfect. We were too full to try their tiramisu but I bet it's perfection. The chef's personality was present in every dish, mostly in their simple perfection. This is a neighborhood institution for a reason.
