C'était un endroit que je voulais aller manger. Par contre j'ai été déçu du rapport qualité/prix. Lasagne minuscule comparativement à l'assiette & cela ne vaut pas 36$. Malgré que sur l'image cela ne paraît pas, il y avait peu de sauce au milieu à mon avis. L'assiette de ma conjointe était mieux mais ses pâtes au saumon avait peu de morceaux de saumon malgré que le goût y était. Encore une fois un peu cher à 38$ l'assiette. Facture de 165$, 1 entrée, 2 plats de pâtes & une bouteille de vin cela est cher payé pour ce que nous avons reçu. Je peux comprendre que tu payes un musicien, une personne à l'accueil, une personne qui s'occupe du vestiaire mais je pense que les assiettes doivent être tout de même mieux garnis. L'ambiance, le service & le décor sont les points forts de l'établissement. Personnellement, je n'y retournerai pas. Je préfère le portofino pas trop loin qui est moins dispendieux.

Hands down the best carbonara I've ever had. Perfectly rich & creamy without being heavy, clearly made with real care & authentic flavors. The ambiance made the experience even better - warm, cozy, & elevated by live accordion music that gave the whole place a charming, European feel. An unforgettable meal from start to finish. Can't wait to come back

Great place to go when in Old Quebec! Great atmosphere & if you're lucky, one of their staff is fantastic with the accordion & plays (& sings) The Beatles, Elton John & other more traditional music. I ordered the Poulet Terazinni & my wife got their Poulet Piccata, delicious 10/10 would come back here.

Quel bonheur de venir souper dans ce restaurant !
La décoration originale & l'ambiance conviviale donnent immédiatement le ton d'une soirée réussie. Les plats, à la fois savoureux & généreux, sont servis avec le sourire, dans une atmosphère des plus joyeuses.
Un immense merci au musicien à l'accordéon, dont les mélodies ont accompagné tout notre repas & nous ont transportés tout droit au coeur de l'Italie.
Un grand merci également à notre serveuse, attentionnée & pleine de bonne humeur, qui nous a offert un service impeccable du début à la fin.
Un seul mot pour résumer cette expérience : je recommande vivement !

So much fun, with live music, friendly atmosphere & delicious food! Our waiter, JC was spot on with all his recommendations. Get the gnocchi Romanoff, just trust me! We also had the prosciutto eith melon, some great cocktails & the strawberry shortcake. This was a nice way to lick off our stay in Quebec City, & we will definitely be coming back.
