Enjoyed the vibe. Clearly popular with the after-work crowd. Friendly service. Nice bevy selection. Fantastic pasta dishes.

Outside seating was faster than inside and since it was a nice day out, we decided to do outside. Waiter seated us and took our order, but then it took forever to get our food. We waited for more than 45 minutes. When the food did come out it was lukewarm to cold. It seemed like it was sitting for a while before it was brought over to us. I had high expectations food wise, regardless of the slow service. The pizza was okay, I have had way better. The spag pollo lacked so much flavor! I thought it would be so flavorful because of the herbs but nope! The arrabiata pasta lacked flavor as well. Overall, I had high expectations considering the reviews I read were positive. But huge disappointment and waste of time/ money/ and still leaving hungry! We did tip but the waitress didn't deserve a tip. She wasn't even the one who brought the food over! read more

Pretty decent! Stopped here for lunch while visiting QC. Pasta was good, cute atmosphere!

Amazing gnocchi special and pizza special! The creme brûlée was perfection! The wait staff was great- low staff the night we went and the maître d' was a bit frazzled, but when we came back at the suggested time she was very pleasant and the staff was attentive for an oddly busy Monday night. Would absolutely return to this cute and cozy Italian restaurant! read more

Loved the menu, the waitstaff, quality of the food, variety of alcoholic drinks. Only issue is that the restaurant gets very noisy. Also be careful when you make reservations, as there are 2 locations in Old Quebec City. read more

Great pasta, great atmosphere. It is a great place to have lunch or dinner and just to have a drink or two

So as to not wreck my stomach, I stuck with Italian food for dinner as it was consistent with everything else I had eaten that day. It ended being a smart move. The seafood pasta I ordered is delicious. Yes, delicious. Ribbon-y pasta, fresh seafood in every forkful of food, great color of the dish, it combines the elements of Italy and a bit of Canada flair in one. Adding salmon to this dish not only added good contrast, but superb flavor. The rest of the seafood just adds more character to an already insane pasta dish. I only wish they gave me free bread instead of charging me for it. That stinks. The restaurant does get busy around 4 pm and stays busy for the rest of the night, so get here early or only come for lunch. Either way, this is one plate of food you have to eat. read more

The service is longer than expected. We ordered an appetizer but never came but they didn't charge it neither. The food was subpar. Felt like a tourist traps. The pasta was nothing special. My duck confit was lack of favor and my wife's seafood pasta was ok. Wish we have gone somewhere else. read more

Service was good and waitresses are nice but food was mixed. Ambiance was good with family friendly noise level. Bbq flatbread was good but the carbonara needs help. Flavorless and clumpy. Spaghetti meatball okay but we had a hair in it. The Carnivore pizza was not bad but we struggled to slice the pizza. Would have been nice if the pizza was pre-sliced. read more

Awesome waitress with an excellent menu. The question to be asked "Do we eat there again the 2nd night?"

Amazing food, service and drinks! Thank you all so much :) a great way to kick off my trip to Quebec City :)

Sapristi was so good and I loved my experience here. We ordered the two salmons pasta and buffalo pizza. My favorite was the buffalo pizza. I'm not a huge pizza person but this pizza was so good. The pizza had so much flavor but it wasn't super overpowering which I liked. The two salmons pasta was also very delicious. I've never had salmon in my pizza so it was interesting but still very good. The restaurant is so cute inside and the servers were very helpful! read more

Great food-nice atmosphere. I had the sushi pizza. Amazing. Good location too. There you go.

We live in Montreal and we were going to go to Vermont to eat Olive Gardens, but instead we went to Quebec City, I chose this place as a normal Italian food, but i loved it, I said "Wow! It's been a long time since I've eaten something that good!" The Ambiance was super nice with a lot of rustic decorations, and we were attended by a woman very charismatic, this place is amazing , 5 stars. read more

Was pretty disappointed by this place, even though it had pretty good reviews. our wait staff was not very welcoming or friendly, she seemed annoyed when we didn't know what we wanted to order and when we asked for some more time she said "you get me when your ready" so then we had to try to flag her down when we were ready to order which just felt odd and not good service. We ordered the burrata which was good, it came with only 4 little pieces of bread, then I ordered the seafood pasta and my husband ordered the pesto pasta, both were some of the most flavorless things we have ever eaten! It actually had me questioning if they watered down the sauces? We will not be returning and I would not recommend to anyone. Hopefully maybe their pizzas are better? Not worth it in my opinion though. read more

Very mediocre food and super slow service. We ordered the Buffalo flatbread which was pretty good, but the starter fries and Greek pizza were average. The arrabiata pasta was extremely under seasoned, it said it was going to be spicy with chili flakes but there was no spice and I had to add a ton of salt. Pretty place to sit and take in the city but not worth the long wait. read more

Very nice place to sit and have a bite and drink. Came here after a long walk touring the Old Québec and decided to have a small bite. Server was nice and polite, service is a bit slow but it's alright, I think the city is still recovering from the lockdown and not a whole lot of employees during the lunch shift. Nonetheless, wife and I enjoyed the Salmon Tartare and Margherita Flatbread and few glass of Pinot. Love the outdoor as the temp starting to cool off. I would dine here again maybe at night as it is so close to a church, Parliament and the Bridge that is lit at night. -Las Vegas, NV read more

Après le Musée de la Civilisation et une promenade le long du fleuve et à travers le Quatier Petit Champlain; Je me suis arrêté à Sapristi pour le déjeuner. J'ai été agréablement accueilli, rapidement assis et j'ai commandé un fiero spritz, un panier de frites allumettes et la tartare de boeuf. Les frites étaient parfaites. Chaud, fin et croustillant et le tartare de boeuf était délicieux, je l'ai commandé moyennement épicé puis en dessert; crème brûlée et un expresso. Un super endroit pour déjeuner dans le Vieux-Québec. ***** After the Museum of Civilization and a walk along the river and through the Quatier Petit Champlain; I stopped at Sapristi for lunch. I was pleasantly welcomed, quickly seated and ordered a fiero spritz, a basket of matchstick fries and the beef tartare. The fries were perfect. Hot, thin and crispy and the beef tartare was delicious, I ordered it medium spicy then for dessert; creme brulee and an espresso. A great place for lunch in Old Quebec. read more

Actual rating: 3 1/2 stars. Our first meal in Quebec. We were recommended this place by the hotel attendant. It's located at the lower end near the fortification of Old Quebec. There is indoor and outdoor seating available. Indoor seating has more of a pub feel and outdoor seating has more of a Mediterranean feel. Neither of the dishes we ordered were particularly outstanding. We had the spaghetti and meatballs and the funghi pizza. The funghi pizza with its mushrooms, bechamel sauce, pine nuts, white wine, cheddar, and chives sounded the most interesting, but turned out to be quite bland. The spaghetti and meatballs were okay. In general, the food just wasn't very memorable. Despite it all, the service, location, price, and ambiance made up for it. It's also nice that they have vegetarian and gluten free menu options available. If you're looking for affordable Italian fare with great service and ambiance, Sapristi may be what you're looking for. read more

We made a reservation for an 8PM dinner on our first night in town. We were able to grab a table on a Sunday night easily. The service was good and we were greeted promptly by the hostess and brought waters by the waitress. I'm sort of a French Onion Soup fanatic. Have been my whole life. When I was a teenager, I begged my Mom to make it for me but she wasn't so sure about making it so I got a recipe and made a huge cauldron of it for my entire family - even made the toast crouton and the gooey cheese. It came out pretty good but the soup I had last night at Sapristi was much, much better. It was magnifique!!!! We shared a bowl and it was plenty. The pasta dishes we tried were the POLLO (chicken) and the De Mari (seafood). I liked the POLLO dish much better than my seafood as mine was sort of the bland side, unfortunately, and the fish pieces were almost too small to be meaningful. The POLLO had a delightful fresh herb mix and was not too buttery or salty. We asked the waitress to find out what herb tasted slightly like licorice and she found out from the chef that he uses tarragon. It was perfect to balance out the sauce. We tried the half bottle of J Lohr and it was really terrific. I liked our meal here and it's a cute place. read more

The staff was friendly and attentive, and all the guests seemed to be satisfied and having a good time. We ordered the salmon tartare and chorizo pizza, both of which were delicious. The salad that accompanied my salad was also surprisingly good. I can see why this restaurant was busy with people seeking reasonably priced mainstream cuisine and good service in a comfortable environment. read more
