Caffè Piada se spécialise dans l'artisanat italien authentique en se concentrant sur la piadina traditionnelle, un pain plat mince originaire de la région de Romagne. Chaque piada est préparée à la commande, mettant en vedette des ingrédients de qualité supérieure pliés dans une pâte offrant une texture à la fois croustillante et souple. Le menu met l'accent sur une sélection épurée de garnitures savoureuses comprenant des charcuteries, des fromages importés et des légumes frais sélectionnés pour leur saveur intense. Au-delà des pains plats, l'établissement propose des plats de pâtes artisanales et des pizzas étirées à la main, cuites avec une chaleur constante pour une croûte équilibrée. La cuisine maintient un engagement envers la simplicité en soulignant les caractéristiques naturelles de l'huile d'olive, des herbes fraîches et des sauces tomates. Cette approche culinaire assure que chaque service reflète le style méditerranéen par des techniques de préparation efficaces.

We ate here 3 yrs ago, & we hv been trying to get back ever since, but the last 2 yrs, we've been in BSP on the nights they are closed. We FINALLY lucked out this year! Not only did we hv the opportunity to eat there tonight, but we are most likely returning tomorrow evening since they are open then, too!
This is a small place. I THINK 8-10 tables indoors, if that. It is cozy rather than congested, though. There are tables outside, as well. Despite the size, there is plenty of space separating the tables that you can hv a private conversation. It's quiet & intimate, but also v comfortable & relaxed. There is artwork throughout that is playful & colorful, & fits the restaurant v well. Even the bathroom is lovely, comfortable, & well-decorated!
Our server was just lovely! We are English-speakers, & she so kindly helped us w the French menu, ensuring that all of our questions were answered. Two other lovely young ladies helped to complete our table service & ensure we enjoyed our meal. I specify'young ladies' bc i think that, so often, we are critical of service provided by younger individuals, & our service was friendly, professional, timely (relaxed pacing, but not overly slow), helpful, & my husband & I both felt everyone was truly invested in ensuring we enjoyed our experience. In addition, each seemed to take personal pride in the quality of the food & service.
Our food was amazing!! Neither of us drink, so my husband had a bottle of sparkling water, & I just had flat water. We ordered a vegetable appetizer that was accompanied by their homemade foccacia bread. O.M.G.! It was crispy on the outside & soft on the inside, & the flavors of the veggies & oil were unique & exceptional. I'm a picky eater, especially when it comes to textures, so I'm sometimes am reluctant to try new things. I can't tell you what the spices were, nor exactly how things were prepared, but my God, it was delicious! I'm crossing my fingers that the special appetizer is available tomorrow, too!
For main courses, my husband ordered the Margherita pizza w pesto drizzle, & I had the gnocchi w tomato sauce. The crust of his pizza was perfectly cooked, crispy outside, tender inside, & he thoroughly enjoyed every bite. My gnocchi was light & tender, plated beautifully, & each individual gnocchi precisely sauced, then garnished w a small amt of pesto. The sauce was flavorful & full-bodied, but light & refreshing, not at all heavy or overly rich. My husband isn't a fan of gnocchi bc he finds it to be too heavy. I somewhat begrudgingly gave him my last 1.5 gnocchi bc I thought he shld try it. He thoroughly enjoyed it, couldn't believe how light it was, then used a spoon to finish every last bit of sauce.
Sadly, we didn't save room for dessert, but if we go again tomorrow, as planned, we'll at least get dessert to go, as if their dessert is on par w their food, it's not to be missed!
We're not foodies, & I'm not v good at picking out precise flavors, etc., in order to provide that kind of review. I can tell you, though, that we had a delightful evening, w wonderful service, delicious food, & we can't wait to go back!
The waitress was very rude & kept speaking French to us when we already had told her we didn't speak French. In fact, we speak Italian, English & Spanish but she kept going on.
I'm blown away by the reviews of'true Italian food' they might be from nowhere close to Italy because the pizza it's actually a panini & if they brought this to Napoli they would be called out, 100% sure.
Also she decided to charge 5$ extra because we were going to share a pizza, ridiculous.
Unpleasant & I wouldn't recommend.
This lovely little place had great reviews, so we stopped in on the way back to Quebec City from whale watching. The reviews also mentioned that you don't need reservations, which isn't 100% true throughout the year. We got lucky, but it's safer to call ahead.
That being said, we ordered a bottle of Sangiovese, a pepperoni pizza, a sauteed octopus/calamari dish, meatballs, & several orders of bread to soak up the delicious sauces. We were told that licking the plate in public was frowned upon, but we considered it! 😉 The pizza was also very nice with a light, airy crust & a great sauce.
Our server was as delightful as the food, which is saying a lot!
Loved it! ♥?🇨🇦🇮🇹♥?
PS - Sorry that our photos of the food only showed the remains of the meal. We didn't stop to take photos once we saw & smelled it. In fairness, the meatball sauce shown disappeared after we got another order of bread! 😋
Nous étions de passage sur la baie & avons découvert ce superbe petit restaurant italien. Nous avons choisi les pizzas, un vrai régal & le service était super. 5/5.
Nous séjournons au Manor Richelieu & avons décidé de partir dîner dans la région de Baie St Paul. Nous avons découvert ce charmant restaurant Piada. Absolument délicieux. Les boulettes de viande étaient exactement comme ma grand-mère les fabriquait, la pizza à la saucisse était délicieuse. Les gnocchis étaient excellents. Nous recommandons vivement Piada. Grazie Antonio!
Stopped here late for pizza during Le festif. The pizza was pretty good though not the best. We ordered some wine which was just okay - not their fault but in my opinion they shouldn't bother serving this one.
The service wasn't great with low attention to detail. We weren't initially offered water. We weren't given napkins when the food came. One of our party had food stuck to the inside of his glass which was only noticeable after the wine had been poured. Not more than an'oops' was offered. The wine was thrown away & a new glass was brought but that meant losing part of the bottle we purchased because of the dirty glass.
Un des meilleurs cafés que j'ai manger,les pizzas était parfaites & les entrées aussi top notch👌, aussi je vous recommande le dessert Sorbetto al Limone le meilleur sorbet que j'ai manger de ma vie, chaque dollars valait le coup 🤌
Situé tout juste en face de l'église de Baie St-Paul, le Café Piada est l'endroit idéal pour une authentique cuisine italienne.
Au premier abord, on se demande si c'est un café, un restaurant ou une boutique de produits fins. En fait, c'est tout ça à la fois & c'est tant mieux! L'ambiance est chaleureuse, l'accueil est très agréable & la musique italienne ajoute à l'expérience.
Nous avons adoré notre repas (carpaccio de boeuf, polpettes, pizzas, gnocchis, tiramisu), cuisiné de toute évidence avec des ingrédients de qualité.
Belle endroit bien situé au centre-ville. Belle ambiance. Le propriétaire est très sympathique. Le menu est léger car cela est plus un café qu'un restaurant mais la qualité des produits est excellent. Les pizzas sont vraiment typique de l'Italie & elle sont très bonnes.
