We stopped by for dinner tonight, & everything exceeded our expectations. Our server (Esteban) was outstanding, the best service by far since being in Quebec City. He was very attentive & responsive. Really, everyone was great, from the lady that seated us when we got there to the staff that would bring out the food & pick up our plates. The food was excellent as well, from the antipasto, French onion soup, the lasagna, the chicken parmigiana, the salads & pizza. Would definitely be back if in Quebec City again.
Première expérience & sûrement pas la dernière. Nous avons été reçu tout sourire par la charmante Molly. (Bonnes vacances Molly). Étienne & Alexandra nous ont offert un service exceptionnel. Leurs précieuses recommandations ainsi que le désir de nous faire apprécier ce moment ont grandement contribué à notre plaisir. J'ai adoré les Pâtes alla vongole. La cuisson était parfaite & la fraîcheur y était. Mon conjoint a énormément apprécié la Pizza margatita, ( recommandation d'Etienne, il connaît son menu ) le basilic frais & la sauce tomates maison, un pur délice. L'entrée de Polpette bien dosée, tout était parfaite. Je tiens à souligner l'excellent service d'Alexandra, souriante, patiente, en plein festival d'été, & ses conseils pour le vin. Nos plats sont arrivés rapidement & chaud. Je vous recommande cette belle équipe, allez prendre une bonne bouffe à la Polina. Merci encore & à la prochaine.
Wonderful service, great food. I shared a 12" bolognese pizza with my wife. It was delicious. Due to the toppings of this particular dish, we had to eat it with a knife & fork, but that is impossible to avoid with the amount of topings they piled on to this traditional thin crust pizza. I have to say, it was just enough food for us, but if we were hungrier we'd each have had to our own. My daughter had the lasangna, served in a square cast iron dish, still hot from the oven, & she finished it all. They even had a small bowl of fries for our picky son.
pizzeria Polina is a nice place. We went there during Christmas time, & it was okay, nothing special. It's not on my list for a comeback, but if you go once, it's fine.
