We had a fantastic dining experience at this Italian restaurant. The food was absolutely delicious & the service was top-notch. We started with the escargot, which was cooked perfectly & had a wonderful garlic butter sauce. The mussels in white sauce were fresh & flavorful, & the seafood risotto was a standout dish. The creamy rice was packed with a variety of fresh seafood, creating a rich & satisfying meal. Overall, we were impressed with the quality of the food & the attentive service. We will definitely be returning to this restaurant in the future.
Excellent. So great we came back 3 days later. Great prices, too. Very convenient access & charming outdoor space away from main road. Owner on site & very attentive & caring.
The pasta & pizza were fantastic, & we were there at a not so busy time, so quickly got a seat. The food did take quite a long time to arrive though, which was a surprise, considering there were only 2 or 3 small groups in the restaurant, so not sure how it would be during the busy time. As for service, I didn't feel particularly welcome or the warmth, but they were friendly, not attentive, just brought the food we asked & that's about it, no greetings, not much talking, maybe the guy was having a bad day, so it was interesting experience.

The cacio e pepe was beautifully balanced - rich in flavor, with a silky, peppery sauce that clung to perfectly al dente pasta. It celebrated simplicity in the best way: just a few high-quality ingredients, expertly prepared. Paired with a glass of red wine, the dish felt even more comforting & indulgent.
The atmosphere was incredibly calming, especially during lunch. It was quiet & relaxed - the kind of setting that invites you to slow down & really enjoy your food. The service mirrored that tone: attentive when needed, but never overbearing.
Portion sizes were a bit modest given the price, but understandable considering the authenticity & care behind the food. This is a place that prioritizes tradition, quality, & experience - & it absolutely delivers.
Fabulous food. We had a vegetarian wood fired pizza that had a marvelous assortment of vegetables, great crust & was very good. We also had the chicken cutlet entree that consisted of a large chicken cutlet parmigiana, linguine with lovely tomato sauce & an amazing assortment of vegetables. The meal was served with some delicious focaccia. The entire meal was truly five star. The service was attentive & polite. My French is terrible & the servers recognized my struggles & shifted to English without pause. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone. The menu was comprehensive & had a lot of dishes to choose from. The value was great & for the quality of the meal was very well priced.
Great pasta. We had the pasta with the squid ink & the one with the duck confit. Both very delicious. We expected the pizzas to be good here when we saw the brick oven & we were not disappointed! Our four cheese pizza was delicious. We even took home the slices we couldn't eat anymore for dinner. Service was attentive & kind. Coming to this restaurant was a good decision & a good way to relax & eat in our day visit to Quebec City.
We had the opportunity to dine at this restaurant over the weekend, sitting at a table by the window on the right side. The service was excellent-attentive & enjoyable. The drinks were outstanding.
However, the table next to us was positioned so closely that it completely blocked our access, with their chairs nearly touching our table. This made it difficult to get up without disturbing them, which was not ideal from a logistical standpoint.
The food, unfortunately, left much to be desired & was probably the least appealing aspect of our experience. The garlic bread with cheese lacked freshness, & the cheese was hard. The salad greens were nice, but the shrimp were the tiniest we had ever encountered. Given the price, it didn't feel worth it. As for the pizza, while the dough & sauce were good, the cheese had an odd taste & there was too much of it. After one bite, we left it untouched. The pasta with meatballs had a good sauce & pasta, but the meatballs were bland & lacked flavor.
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.
Delicious! Everyone in our group enjoyed everything. The service was great, friendly, & attentive without being interruptive. If you're in the mood for Italian this is the place to go.
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.
