    One of my new favorite pasta places in montreal ! The restaurant has lovely ambience, and the owner…read moreis so cute and quirky as well! The way you order is that first you decide your pasta sauce choice, and then decide which type of pasta you want We asked about wine options, and I think it was BYOW, but there was a dep right across the street and if you're unsure about what to get, the owner has recommendations as well. There's so many pasta sauce options that my friends and I took forever to decide (as usual), but I finally opted for the bow tie pasta with marinara, bacon, mushrooms, grilled chicken, white wine, and cream and it was delicious! I also tried a bite of my friends clam (and I don't remember what else) linguini, which was very tasty as well. Portions are generous, and my friends and I food comaed for at least half an hour after we finished eating The owner was super funny because he'd always tease us with desserts before he brought them to the table which ordered them Definitely coming back here again hehe

    If i could give this place a big fat zero star, i would. Where do i start??? I've had bad service…read more I've had bad food. But never did i have both with a dab of misogynistic and racist behaviour from the owner! I am not a violent person...but omg i wanted to punch him! The menu is long and everything on it is expensive. We ordered two green salads. Felix ordered a fettuccini olive oil and garlic sauce for 13$!!! At that price, we thought that the ingredients would be top notch. Right? Wrong! I got the spaghetti meat ball. No "s". It was A meatball. The owner flat out asked my husband, because he doesn't talk to women, if his Chinese immigrant friend knows what ground BEEF meat was. My husband told him that he could ask me himself. The owner said he didn't bother because he knows i wouldn't understand him. I speak three languages. He then wrote down our plate numbers on paper table setting. What a schmuck! He wasn't shy on telling us that he buys his ingredients (fake parmesan, bread, salad dressing and so on) at Costco. Nothing against Costco. But when you charge 13-20$ a plate of pasta with sauce from a jar, i think you're ripping us off and taking us for idiots! I can go on and on... He also told my husband that we're better eating the whole thing because he will not let us have doggy bags. Food this nasty, no f-ing way! Worst meal of my life! Worst place ever!

    The food sucked. I…read morecame here for a surprise birthday party for one of my gfs in Dec '18. We had a private room and a special group menu consisting of entrée (soup or salad) + main (4 choices) + coffee + dessert for 34$ plus tax and tip (alcohol and other beverages not included). The potage soup served as entrée was ok. Just ok. Nothing to go out of one's way for. Definitely the better choice over the salad tho. I chose the pizza as my main, uninterested by the other options. The pizza was just...i mean how do u f up a 4-cheese n bacon pizza fer crissake?? I smothered it in (seemed like Kraft Shredded) "fresh" parmesan they offer and that saved it a little bit, but barely. The leftovers were inedible. They did put real bacon on it though and not the fake sh*t tho so bonus points for that. The dessert was a f*kin joke, nasty lil piece of overly spiced apple cake with a dollop of ice cream literally in a small baby-food-jar. Pitiful and gross. I tried a bite and offered it up with no takers. Coffee that came with dessert. Well it didn't suck but that's it. For a place named Fratello I expected a better coffee game. The other plates my friends had: (see photo of group menu I took for actual names of dishes) - The cavatelli with celery in cream and lemon sauce, such a FAIL it's incredible and yet it was definitely the most edible item served. I need to go on a bit of a rant of this supposed best dish, so please forgive me. The celery was sliced thin and RAW just tossed into the pasta as if it was supposed to somehow compliment or accompany the tastes in someway...it did not. It was distracting and offputting and an extremely curious choice imo. The lemon in cream sauce, I was a fan ... But wtf did they do to their cavatelli for it to be so limp and stringy?! The sundried tomatoes sparse and just not enuf to save the dish. My friend absolutely adored her meal of it and polished it damn near to the last bite. (Which prompted me to tell her she must come eat with us yelpers from now on because she clearly has never had a good meal in her life if she thinks that was good, let alone delicious. And I'm not being a snob here, I am seriously perplexed how one could actually enjoy that meal?! McDs 10 times out of 10 when presented with the choice of this or that, not even a contest.) - The fish, well it didn't taste fishy and i liked the texture (keep in mind I hate seafood) but it was so incredibly bland there was nothing to it. The veggies it came with were delicious but so few of them, not worth the price. - The chicken: the only plate offered I didn't get to try. My friend called it "good". Then she went on to tell me how much spicy mayo she used to try n finish it because it was quite dry. She ran outta mayo so stopped eating it.... Um no, that doesn't sound that good to me afterall, lol. Island prices on the south shore is pretty lame but understandable considering less clientele and still hafta pay rent n whatnot, but then to serve that low quality generic schlop seemed like insult to injury. Loved the decor and ambiance. Absolutely adored our cozy private room with glass doors with access to a/v equipment (tvs, projectors, sound system etc). Enabled my friend to play a gorgeous slideshow she prepared (of photos of us all throughout the years) with music. Absolutely adored the service: friendly, spot on, saved the night (if you ask me) and great team work ! But that menu for groups eeeeeeesh! What a disaster! I would be willing to come back n give them a shot à-la-carte to see if it's just their group-game that sux n not the entire menu. It is a very nice classy place, with a great staff. I really did wana give them 5 stars, but I simply can't! And I do wish them luck, I think they're guna need it.
