We ate at this restaurant several years ago while travelling through Quebec City with an Italian friend of mine. We really enjoyed the meal & returned last weekend while on another cycling trip. Completely happy with the entire experience. While we would always prefer lower prices, the experience was worth the price. We made reservations in advance & were seated immediately. We shared the beef carpacio appetizer since my sons had never tried it & it was a bit unusual to see. It was excellent & made for a special treat. The pasta was fresh, the sauces were very flavorful, & the service was excellent. & they had live musicians playing in the corner which added to the ambiance. The Formula 1 paraphernalia spread throughout the restaurant was also very cool. Will hopefully be back the next time we are in Quebec City.
Overall, the food was incredible, for the most part the service was great, & the food came so fast, we could not believe that we were in & out within an hour, having gotten an appetizer, main courses, & a dessert. The atmosphere & service I gave 4 stars because the restaurant was unbelievably crowded/packed in. We were placed at a table where twice we were asked to move/watch our heads so servers could get bottles of wine out of the cabinet that was beside us. We were also right outside the kitchen entrance & twice when I was moving to put my bag & coat on my chair I bumped, & was bumped by servers bringing food & dishes in & out of the kitchen. I was nervous too move too much as I didn't want to knock anything out of the hands of servers. It was also just so loud. We went thinking it was more of a finer dining experience based on reviews/photos, which I would not classify the ambience of the restaurant as. The hostess who greeted us as the front was beyond lovely. I have very rough French speaking abilities & she very quickly switched to speaking English but thanked me for my attempt at French. We were then met by a man who we originally thought was our server, he gave us the impression that it was a nuisance to be dealing with us. He brought us water, asked how we were & as we tried to respond he walked away & we did not see him again. That being said, our server was so kind & quick & asked us where we were from, if we've liked Quebec, & wished us the best for the rest of our honeymoon. She was absolutely wonderful. The food was amazing. We got the garlic bread with cheese as a starer & it came within 5 minutes, & was so hot & fresh. For our mains my husband got the house lasagne & I got the fettuccine with pesto & they were both incredible. Some of the best pasta we have ever had. For dessert we got the creme brûlée which was also just amazing. It came with some strawberries & a berry sauce on the side which complimented the dish perfectly. I would still rate the experience a 5/5, as ultimately the volume & crowded atmosphere of the restaurant did not take away from our enjoyment at all, but could have made it a more relaxed dinner had it of been a little less loud & crammed. There was also love music which was absolutely amazing. My husband got a beer & I had the espresso martini which was fantastic & for having 1 bartender, the drinks came quick quickly. We would 100% come back if we are back in Quebec City.
Best Tiramisu I have ever had!!!! 🤍 Great place, vibe is so cool, live music 🎵 👌🏻 Hosts were very amicable. Both outdoor & indoor seating available, since it's cold, we sat at the bar & fun watching cocktail making..

We, a party of 2, waited about 15 min for a table on a Saturday night The restaurant was filled with locals - & large groups of them - as well as tourists. We accepted a seat at the bar where the bartender made us some great Margaritas. We enjoyed them so much we had another round enjoying the fabulous musical duo. We had rice balls & bruschetta for appetizers. Followed with a plate of Carbonara & veal parmigiana. The food was amazing. The owner was making sure his guests were well cared for & his staff was just as attentive & considerate. This place is a gem.
I ate spaghetti carbonara, it was great. The people serving me were very friendly & kind. Music was also good.it was rainyand they let me stay till it stopped. Thank you guys🙂
Pictures don't do it justice! Their tomato sauce is incredible - fresh, authentic flavour. Both our pastas were great. (Penne arrabista & house lasagna) great wine too! (villa maria blanc) They had live music while we were there & music after was great. Didn't care for the bruschetta but that's ok!
