We had dinner on the back patio & really enjoyed our meal. My husband got the spaghetti & meatballs & I got the sapristi pasta & added chicken. Our son enjoyed his kids pasta & dessert. We would certainly dine here again!
We had an amazing Italian dinner here! The pastas were absolutely delicious, & we really enjoyed almost everything we ordered. The only dish that didn't quite live up to the rest was the cheese pizza, which could have been prepared a little better.
The staff was friendly, attentive, & made the experience even more enjoyable. Overall, it was a fantastic meal, & I'd definitely recommend this place for lunch or dinner if you're visiting Quebec City.

Good option for 18-24$ range! Great service. We got some pizzas & pastas, everyone was happy. The'gin fizz mango lavender' cocktail was delicious! We ordered it twice!
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 ordered a margarita pizza & a mushroom pasta. We asked for no pine nuts on the pasta, the pasta came with pine nuts (I'm severely allergic) & we decided to let it go & my wife had the pasta. The pasta has too much Parmesan in its base sauce & was very acidic. The pizza's crust was super nice & thin but it lacked a bit of pizza sauce & felt bread-y.
Pour la pizza carnivore, c'est un 10 sur 10, vraiment délicieuse avec une combinaison de saveurs excellente. Les pâtes étaient bonnes, mais la sauce à la crème avait un goût un peu étrange, comme s'il manquait quelque chose, parce que le goût de la ciboulette dominait & on ne sentait pas vraiment le bacon. Cependant, dans l'ensemble, c'était bien. Le service de Virginia était excellent, & on y retournerait sans hésiter, mais pour la pizza, pas pour les pâtes.
For the carnivora pizza, it's a 10 out of 10, really delicious with an excellent combination of flavors. The pastas were good, but the cream sauce had a bit of a strange taste, like something was missing, because the chives flavor dominated & we couldn't really taste the bacon. Still, overall everything was good. Virginia's service was excellent, & we'd definitely go back-but for the pizza, not the pasta.
Excellent service & delicious food! We were in Quebec City a couple of weeks ago for vacation & visited this place on a very busy Saturday night without a reservation. Thanks to the lady at the door, she helped us find a table even without a booking. We only waited about 10 minutes, which was totally fine since the restaurant was packed.
Our server was very nice & explained the dishes, & the kitchen was impressively fast.
We tried different pizzas & pastas, & they were all great. Whatever you order, make sure to get at least one appetizer, the'Fondue Parmesan' was both delicious & creative.
Thank you again!
Wow! Christmas time & they deliver! First thanks to Virginia, not only because how we she seated us but also because she directed other guests without reservation to another restaurant of the chain. Bravo! Then the server & the food, we had salad & Sapristi pasta, everything delicious & the cocktails were great. 100% recommend, you will love it!
