Nice wine options, interesting & tasty flavours in all the traditional pasta sauces we tried & excellent desserts. All around well worth it, we went back again a few days later since we liked it so much!

I almost didn't post this as this was such a delightful locals place. After vacating for 10 days we are no emaciated & were wanting something lighter. We were seated & both quietly enjoyed the sound of our French speaking diners nearby…no English & it was very tranquil….then a large group with children arrived. ;)

One course only - I had Ciccio pasta & my wife had the walleye plate. Forgot to take food photos but it was excellent. Great service & eclectic music playlist. Wines by the glass or bottle. Few options but a great local beer. Full service bar - wife had martini.

Like Nina this is a must for us to return to on a future visit. Reservations are a good idea…we walked in without one.

The bread was served cold. I read a review about that before going & the owner rebutted that the bread is not. Well, it was. But that's fine. If the rest of the meal was good, I would still be positive. It was not.

The wine selection was good & fairly priced, but that's where the dinner experience should have stayed. The food was mediocre. The reviews promised good food & portions. The carbonara was bland & more alfredo than carbonara. Spaghetti with cream & cheese. Nothing flavorful. Not creamy, just sticky. No egg & not fresh pasta. I am sure it came from a jar. The pasta was dried & Costco quality. Over cooked. The Ossobuco was average served with very bland egg noodles. Save yourself the disappointment. Find another place to go.

I was responded to by the owner but instead of trying to improve the food quality, simply insists it's my negative reviews. Should have looked deeper as there are many positive reviews. Saw similar tact in other responses, & the place has great potential, but not there currently. Focus on fixing the food & you'll have a wonderful restaurant & get positive reviews.

WOW! check this place out. Went about 5pm & without reservations but they were still able to fit us in. It was very comfortable & had a homey amazing vibe! I got the eggplant parm appetizer & 10/10(MUST TRY & honestly everyone could get one because I didn't wanna share haha). We got the spicy linguine/spaghetti & the linguine with mushrooms & red sauce. I forgot the exact names but all dishes at our table were well seasoned & very tasty. Coming from America I will say this was probably the best service I've seen in a restaurant in a very long time. They had everything we needed & were beyond on top of it. Before you could think someone was aware & got it. Appreciated the small dining area. Cost was well worth it. The pubs I've been to in old Quebec have been way more expensive for not as good as food/experience. I think cost for two people was $70 with huge meals & wine for one. Only tip is make a reservation because not huge amounts of table & it will be worth it! & street parking is sometimes annoying but expected in a city.

Very nice small restaurant. We didn't have a reservation but they had 1 table open. Servers were all very friendly. Food & wine was great.

By far, the best dining experience of our five days in Quebec. This small Italian bistro tucked on the outskirts of Old Quebec is worth the walk/ride/drive from *anywhere*. It's a formal dining experience in a comfortable & friendly atmosphere. The waiter's wine recommendation was perfect, the spaghetti carbonara was the best I've had, & my husband's fettuccine Alfredo justifies having Olive Garden remove it from their menu as an act of defeat. Then the bill came... & we read it twice to make sure they didn't miss our dessert. We've paid twice as much for half as good. 12/10 must visit.

Excellent service! Servers were very attentive. They bring you bread to start, but we also ordered the cheese appetizer. We split a bottle of the red house wine to drink. I had a caesar salad, & my husband ordered the smoked salmon fettuccine. We shared our dishes. The servers would stop by to refill your water & wine glass often. They also add fresh pepper to your plate. We used what little French we could-always important in my opinion. But we were able to get by just fine ordering in English. The menu is in both languages.
