Service mauvais. Choix de vin moyen
Serveuse ne connaissait pas les vins & me propose un vin de bas de gamme comme étant une importation privée & ce qui explique pourquoi pas sur le site SAQ en référence. Pizza recue froide. Bref mauvais rapport qualite/prix. C'est un bar avant d'être un restaurant donc tout dépend de l'expérience recherchée.
Première expérience il y a deux ans!!! Génial! C'est la raison pour laquelle nous y sommes retournés le 31 janvier!! Plus que décevant, nourriture froide, à l'entrée d'antipastis, pas d'olives frites, calamars frits très très difficiles à manger, pizza au fromage de chèvre, non dispo, tiramisu au menu, non disponible! 2 petites canollis a la place, très durs!!! & pour finir le tout demandons un café & on nous répond que la machine à café est fermée!!! A éviter 👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻
It was ok.
Flavors were bland & missing some spice palates.
Under cooked pizza & unseasoned pasta dishes.
Cold & dark interior made for an unpleasant atmosphere.
Service was slow as they were understaffed.
The hostess did what she could to take orders, make drinks, seat customers.
No manager or owner was present but certainly should have been !
Bartender wasn't much help with anything.
They did have one younger gentleman delivering food to tables who was helpful.
There was no sign of a manager or owner ,
but there should have been someone to make this mess.

+: Accommodement, sommes arrivé 30 minutes plus tôt que notre réservation, vrai four à pizza donc pâte croustillante, plusieurs choix de pizza variés
-: Restaurant pas adapté du tout avec enfant, pas de table à langer, pas de menu enfant, chaise haute remplie de poussières/sel, ont mis un couteau coupant devant mon bebe sous mes yeux abasourdis. Le vin rouge était chaud. Entrée burrata décevante & pas savoureuse.
En sommes, nous n'avons pas eu de coup de coeur. Le personnel était mêlé.
Super bon service, mais la cuisine laisse à désirer... La bavette de veau est à proscrire, la pire qualité de viande que j'ai mangé de ma vie en terme raideur, les frites étaient humides, molles & tièdes, notre pizza était littéralement froide...
Bref, bel endroit, bons employés, mais j'y ai déjà beaucoup mieux mangé par le passé...
Nous sommes ravis le service est excellent, très serviable & gentil. De vrais gentlemans. La pizza Birra & le poulet ParmiGian exquis. Je recommande à tous
The food, the ambiance & the service were great. I gave a four stars because of our appetizer. Even though the cheese size was very good, the greens around it was sparse. I would double the greens & the bread stick to four instead of two since it says that it is shareable. I recommend the Funghi pizza, it's a 10 out of 10.
