Great spot in the heart of Old Quebec City! The fazzoletti was excellent! Highly recommend if your craving authentic Italian! We'll have to come back & try the wood fired pizza.

The entrance host was very rude & probably racist to be honest. Told us to wait outside & will call us once there is a table for 2. Another couple went in without a reservation like us & got seated immediately. We were like'ok they are busy maybe they messed up' & got seated after another 5 min of wait.
Food was fantastic until we found a hair inside the pizza & it ruined the mood. They removed the pizza from the bill & gave us a tiramisu for the inconvenience but it was too late for the mood.
The restaurant was very loud for our liking.
The pasta was really good.
I personally never felt this much disrespect at a restaurant & felt it was because of my skin color. In hindsight we should have left the moment we felt that the host was not good. Would not go again & won't be recommending it. This place needs to realize that there are colored people & they also deserve the same respect as other.

Gnocchi délicieux ! Pizza calabrese un peu décevante mais dans l'ensemble c'était top!!

It was an okay experience overall. The food was average-I tried the prosciutto pizza & salad, which were decent. The waitress was friendly & attentive, & the drinks arrived quickly. However, the seating process was frustrating. When we arrived, we had to wait to be seated, & the hostess walked past us multiple times before finally acknowledging us. That lack of attention put a damper on the experience, but aside from that, it was a decent visit.

Stopped in to pick up a couple of pizzas & a salad later in the evening. Service was great & pizzas were delicious! We will return on our next trip.

The waitress/staff were amazing - very attentive & friendly. The margherita pizza was really good, the bolognese was not great. The restaurant was extremely loud. We could not hear each other or the waitress.

Very disappointed because the food didn't taste good at all. We had a marguerita pizza which was awful & the mushroom ball entree with the minestrone. Minestrone was ok but way below any Italian standard (even in North America & that says a lot). The mushroom balls were bad, just deep fried with not a lot of taste. Our daughter had pasta fettuccine & she was satisfied. It's not that difficult to make good tasting food, I don't understand how businesses charge the maximum amount of $ ($28 for a margarita) & they're not able to make it taste good. It was just full of cheese (way too much, & cheap cheese) & the dough was tough. I could have eaten a pizza at a nearby Domino & it would have been better. Step up the game if you charge the big bucks! Be proud of your work & the quality of it, not just a tourist trap. But I guess that's true for a lot of Quebec City restaurants nowadays. As a business, I'd be ashamed to sell this quality of food for this much money.

Had a great dinner here. If over a weekend, strongly advise making reservations. Atmosphere was nice, albeit a little noisy as there was a large party of 14 near us. Service was excellent & the pastas & pizzas were delicious. Would highly recommend.
