Many patrons rave about the delicious, authentic pizzas and flavorful pasta dishes, with frequent praise directed at the generous portions and the availability of gluten-free options.

J'ai adoré la planche de fromages & les pizza. Nous étions situés en haut, table à deux, tranquille. Personnel accueillant & efficace. Ambiance plaisante. Nous avions réservé d'avance.

Nous avons choisi ce petit bistrot pour un léger goûter en après-midi. 2 bières froide, une frite aux truffes & parmesan ainsi qu'un flatbread 1608 le tout à partager. Le tout était excellent mention spéciale pour le flatbread 1608 délicieux

Go here if you like cold pasta & dry pizza for 50$. All the cheese & toppings in pizza comes ripping off the crust in first bite. Expect to pay a tip for nothing exceptional in service.

We had an amazing experience at Sapristi during our visit to Quebec from Miami. From the moment we arrived, everything was excellent. Since we don't speak French, we were relying on a friend to translate for us, but then the waitress heard us speaking Spanish & introduced herself as Virginia, letting us know she also spoke Spanish. That immediately made us feel welcome & comfortable.
Virginia's service was truly 5 stars - she was kind, attentive, professional, & made our experience even more special. The food was phenomenal, full of flavor, fresh, & beautifully prepared. Every dish exceeded our expectations.
If you're visiting Quebec & looking for authentic Italian food with outstanding service, we highly recommend this place. Thank you, Virginia, & the entire team at Sapristi for such a memorable evening!
