Excellent restaurant très bien situé dans le quartier champlain. Leurs pâtes & pizzas sont excellentes. Les portions sont bonnes à un prix raisonnable. Une bonne sélection de boisson pour accompagner le repas. Le service était excellent, les serveurs respectueux, serviables & à l'écoute. Si vous devez visiter le quartier, vous ne serez pas déçu si vous choisissez de manger à ce restaurant.
We accidentally booked a reservation for the wrong date, but they accommodated us, which was great. A common problem I find is language. The food was excellent, although our entrées arrived before our appetizers. It was a mixed bag, but overall very enjoyable. The calamari was cooked perfectly; the pizza sauce burned my tongue.

Ordered the salmon tartare, mushroom & chicken pasta, & the mushroom & ham pizza. (Forgot the exact dish names)
The salmon tartare was nice, i ordered it with a medium spice level which was perfect if you're looking for something flavorful without overpowering the salmon taste. It went very well with the crouton, however I wish they provided more than just 3 as you're left with over half the tartare after finishing the crouton.
The pizza was very Quebec style, the cheese & dough were softer rather than the crunchy/crispy crust you'd find at a wood-fired restaurant. The toppings complemented the more neutral-tasting cheese & overall it was good. This is definitely a more fork & knife kind of pizza rather than one you'd pick up slice by slice.
The pasta was decent, had a very Herby & mushroom flavor with an olive-oil based sauce. The noodles were on the softer side & the tomatoes went well with the rest of the flavors.
Overall, the atmosphere was quite lively & can get a little louder but the interior design provided an old-intimate kind of feel.
Great gluten free pasta absolutely amazing! The food was incredible & delicious! Major factor for stopping by to eat here was the gluten free options for pasta & pizza & it was the best gluten free pasta I've ever for sure! PSA if there is inclement weather definitely make a reservation for dinner.
C'était bon mais on a dû demander le pain ainsi que les épices & parmesan... Pourtant nous étions seul au 2 eme & pas beaucoup de clients au rdc. Un peu déçu pour un resto de pâte & pizza!
Nette Location mit schöner Terrasse. Wirkt sehr italienisch. Es gibt leckeres Peroni und ordentliche Weine. Die Pizza war leider sehr klein, aber glücklicherweise lecker.
Ce restaurant italien, niché au coeur du Vieux-Québec, est une véritable adresse incontournable pour les amateurs de pizza authentique. L'ambiance chaleureuse & accueillante en fait un lieu parfait pour tous, des familles aux couples, en passant par les groupes d'amis. L'endroit respire l'Italie avec son décor rustique & son atmosphère conviviale qui invite à la détente.
Les pizzas, préparées avec des ingrédients frais & de qualité, sont un délice : une pâte fine & légèrement croustillante, garnie de produits savoureux, alliant tradition & créativité. Le menu offre un large choix, avec des options pour tous les goûts, des plus classiques aux plus audacieuses. De plus, le service est impeccable, rapide & souriant, idéal pour une sortie en famille ou entre amis.
Ce restaurant est un véritable coup de coeur pour ceux qui recherchent une expérience culinaire italienne authentique dans un cadre charmant & adapté à tous les âges. Un excellent choix pour une soirée réussie à Québec !
