Over-the-top kitschy Italian vibe & it works. Parmesan squeezes more tables into this footprint than I've ever seen in a restaurant, too. It's lively & the staff is hustling. We didn't have reservations, but were able to get a table after waiting a minute or two. Because it's so packed the kitchen is slow. Waitress arrived in seconds (everyone spoke French & English) to take our drink orders & they arrived with a basket of bread. 10 minutes later, our order was placed & our salad arrived a few minutes later. Then we waited. About 30 minutes after we were seated, a couple next to us arrived & ordered. Their food came out 15 minutes later while we were still waiting -- for two pasta & sauce plates. We politely called over a waiter & he apologized for the delay saying they were busy & the kitchen was backed up, despite the neighboring table enjoying their meal. He said he would check on the order & came back 5 minutes later, again apologizing & saying they didn't forget us. We think the order didn't get placed. A few minutes later, the food was delivered & it was delicious. Only reason for the four stars was the 50 minute wait for our meals. Enjoyable night at Parmesan despite the wait.

I went here very recently with my family & it was probably the most standout dining experience we had while visiting Quebec!! Everyone was so lively & friendly, & the food was wonderful - the spaghetti bolognese was genuinely maybe the best spaghetti I have had ??? I will have dreams about it. It was someone's birthday & the whole restaurant got together at moments to sing happy birthday (happy birthday gina!!). Please please PLEASE come here if you're in the area & want italian.
