Je suis vraiment mystifié par la note élevée de ce restaurant. La nourriture est de basse qualité & les plats sont beaucoup trop salés. Mon assiette de tartare de boeuf avait des frites congelées & du clou de girofle dans la mayonnaise à l'intérieur du tartare. Si ça ne sonne pas bon, vous avez raison!
L'atmosphère était bien, je dois leur donner ça. D'autres restaurants italiens sont bien meilleurs dans le coin(nina pizza, ect)
Prime pizza spot! We had the Fantasia & the Four cheeses pizzas. The dough is really airy & the best pizzas we've had ever! The Fantasia is really loaded with prosciutto, & the Four cheeses had a nice cheese mix. We also splurged on a chocolate cake at the end, which was not too sweet, perfect & rich. The service was really good & we felt really cared for throughout the meal. It was a bit loud as we were in rush hour, but i see it more as a sign of great success & happy customers.
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!
J'ai choisi une pizza 4 fromages & j'y ai ajouté du pépéroni, puisque je ne peut m'en passer😃 elle était excellente..Sans parler de la gentille barmaid qui m'a conseille & servi. Bravo!
Bonne ambiance ! Bien reçus par la serveuse.
Ma pizza n'était pas énorme mais néanmoins bonne & consistante au final. Bon choix de bières. Menu enfant correct
