Parmesan

The ambiance made it special. However the food was ok at best. I can appreciate that it's still the busy season; however for the price we paid for pasta at this location, make sure the bread you bring at the table is not dried up, butter not so hard, & that the food has been plated all at the same time so that the meal is hot though out. Alfredo sauce tasted like cream only. Lemon picatta chicken, void of capers. Will not return.

C'est un très beau restaurant bien décoré, & l'ambiance y est sympa. J'ai reçu un très bon service.

La nourriture était savoureuse, quoiqu'un peu trop cher, considérant la simplicité des plats que j'ai choisi. (Note: mon expérience se limite seulement à la pizza Margherita - première visite, bruschetta & pasta Fettuccine Alfredo - seconde visite).

La bruschetta était un peu triste : Le mélange était présenté dans un petit bol entouré de 4 petites tranches de baguettes sèches. Je suggérerais de la présenter sur des plus grandes tranches de pain frais avec un peu de parmesan & quelques olives (etc) pour mieux justifier le prix de l'entrée.

Je recommanderais tout-de-même ce restaurant pour l'atmosphère/expérience agréable, & il y a certainement des meilleurs plats à y découvrir que ceux que j'ai mangé.

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.

Not very authentic. Pasta was bland & veal Parmesan was tough. My eggplant was very bitter. Not worth it for us. Staff was very nice & polite.

Nice atmosphere, the service was good, but the food is way overpriced for the quality-you can find much better elsewhere.

PS: When they ask you if you want extra cheese on top of your pasta , they'll charge you an extra $3,95 without warning you about it !!

Tried smoked salmon pasta, second best taste Italian noodles I have had. The dish is a bit smaller than I expected, especially considering the price.

First of all the service here was very very good. These people seemed pretty understaffed & packed but were very attentive as a team. My wife got manicotti she didn't like it but only because the pesto pasta was very strong & flavorful. It was very good pasta. A very well put together dish. I got Alfredo with chicken it was Olive Gardenesque . Not bad & not great. As you read in other review the bread is weird hard cold crunchy bread mixed with cold regular bread & ice cold unspreadable butter. I have eaten in 100's of Italian restaurants this isn't a normal thing. They also have an accordion player. It's pretty cool. You can tell the guy is loved & its the real true mystique & draw of the place. He is very talented . In a city full of amazing restaurants i probably wouldn't go back here. Also, not to be a jerk but it's kinda tacky & childish to put a (.) as a response to a bad review . In fact you literally ask someone why 3 stars not 4 & it almost made me go back & change my review to 3 . When i basically only give 5's Yah yah i know you don't care. 4.1
