Came here with hubby & 5 year old son while on vacation. Really loved the atmosphere, decor, vibe- not many places like this left! Service was also excellent.

Food was unfortunately hit or miss. Bruschetta was too chunky & watery. Chicken scaloppini with Marsala sauce was OK, but a bit heavy on the sauce/soggy. Kiddo ordered chicken fingers & they seemed cooked from frozen. Hubby ordered mussels- this was a big mistake. They smelled awful & were inedible. Stay away from them on the menu. That said, our waiter was very apologetic & deducted them from our bill.

J'adore le Parmesan, c'est une institution dans le Vieux-Québec, rien de moins. Le service est bon & la nourriture aussi. Bien que les prix soient assez élevés, on retrouve les mêmes goûts qu'il y a 20 ans. L'accordéoniste, très gentil, ajoute évidemment à l'ambiance & ce, en plus du décor.

Menu pour enfants (15$) inclus
- Penne Alfredo
- Spaghetti sauce rosé
- Croquettes & frites

Plusieurs plats au gratin ou pâtes tous aussi délicieux les uns que les autres.

Restaurant très agréable, avec une décoration soignée & une ambiance chaleureuse. Le service est également un point fort : les serveurs sont attentionnés, professionnels & veillent à ce que les clients ne manquent de rien.

En revanche, nous avons été un peu déçus par la qualité des plats. Le potage du jour était excellent, savoureux & parfaitement réalisé. Cependant, la pizza & les cannellonis ne nous ont pas pleinement convaincus & n'ont pas été à la hauteur de nos attentes. Compte tenu des tarifs pratiqués, nous avons trouvé le rapport qualité-prix légèrement décevant.

Une belle expérience dans l'ensemble grâce au cadre & au service, mais la cuisine gagnerait à être davantage à la hauteur de l'établissement

Very unique italian restaurant. Nice decor. Good live musique. Food is copious & friendly pricing. Cozy place & quite crowded, feel like squeezed. But despite the crowd, it was easy to talk.
Food is good. Not the typical italian, a little trended to US italian. But still, very delicious.

On a passé une très belle soirée moi & ma conjointe l'ambiance, le service, l'accordéoniste, le décor original & oui c'est bien à cet endroit que se déroule le film de Ricardo Troji qu'on adore ! Le café flambé vaut le détour ne serait-ce que pour voir la technique bien maîtrisée du personnel pour le préparer. Les assiettes sont copieuses & le personnel attentionné.

We were there last night & I would say this is a great place for families & kids. My little daughter who just turned 10 loved the atmosphere & decorations, it's a fun & beautiful setting, & the food was good. Our server Laura was the best server I've had in years - highly attuned to us always despite her having a full house to serve (including a table of 10 behind us with 3 birthdays), & always pleasant & smiling & friendly. Every time I even thought we might need something - she was there. The live music was great too, my daughter loved the accordion songs. Fantastic night there.
