i would rate the food here as good. however, service could be a little better. we were seated at such a small table that we had to ask the waiter to take things away. can use a better layout and tables. the fish was good
Went with friends to what appeared to be a nice upscale Italian restaurant. While the atmosphere was quite nice, the other components of a good restaurant experience were severely lacking. The manager on staff was rude, interrupting me mid sentence when asked for a possible substitution and making passive-aggressive remarks when a guest dropped an empty plate. The waitress, while new, was very kind. The food was by far the worst of any restaurant I’ve been to at this price range. The risotto I was served had no seasoning whatsoever, it tasted of rice pudding without any saltiness or richness of the “Parmesan” it was supposed to contain. The quail that accompanied it was drier than the Turkey in National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation. My partner’s Cannelloni (just the 1 for the high price) looked like it was born and raised under a heat lamp. The only thing meriting a star was the arancini which were tasty and well seasoned. 200+$ later I am severely unimpressed. I won’t be returning. Were it not for my guests and their good company, I’d have left and refused to pay for the food.
Very friendly service, nice place... not so good food. Shrimps and scallops were way overcooked, like chewy overcooked. And everything was too salty. Very disappointed and will not be going back.
Overall. We enjoyed going out for dinner here. The atmosphere is nice and decor is elegant and tasteful. I love when expectations are surpassed by restaurants. The two appetizers were delicious. The meatballs were soft, juicy and cooked to perfection. The Arancini balls were tasty as well with the sauces that come with them. The main course was Pollo Osceno. It was slightly disappointing and honestly not worth mentioning. I would still recommend this place but stick to the appetizers.
We love Italian food and this is one of the best Italian restaurants we have ever been to. The service was great and they played a clarinet on Thursday night which made the wonderful ambience. The food is really amazing, strongly recommend: veal piccata; octopus and stuffed quail - this restaurant is really a hidden gem and the price is actually reasonable for what you experience.
We went here for our Anniversary. We walked in and we were greeted at the door. They sat us in the cool side booths. We started off with White wine and Red wine. Then, we had 2 appetizers: Bruschetta and Arancini. They were delicious. For the entree, I had the Duck confit cannelloni with a salad. I got my meal and it was the perfect size. While, we were eating a saxophonist was playing in the restaurant. It was a nice ambience. We would definitely come back! The staff were super friendly. The meals are worth the price. We had a great experience!
The restaurant was surprising. I mean, Google recommends it to me regularly, but I dismiss it because it just doesn’t seem like the kind of neighbourhood or general location that would have the kind of restaurant that the reviews and photos promise. This time I gave in because it seemed like the best option in the area of the activities planned for the evening. The moment we walked in, I was awed by the atmosphere. Very chic. And we hadn’t been there five minutes before the waitress offered to send their sommelier over to help with the wine selection. Shortly after that, I went to wash my hands. Even the bathroom was fancy. There were like six different kinds of fancy hand soap to choose from. The service was impeccable. The food was outstanding. It made me sad that we were the only ones there in the entire place, because this is a serious dining experience, and I’d hate to see this place go out of business.
The food is by far the best thing about this place and I also have only good things to say about the service and the location! Our waiter was providing excellent service and was helpful with menu suggestions. Attentive but never overbearing. The scallops appetizer was perfectly cooked and beyond tasty and my shrimp risotto was nice and creamy. Deserts sounded amazing but I was full already, portions are very generous. Will definitely be going back :D
Overall disappointed with this first experience, very limited lunch menu, very frustrating quantity on the plates (fish of the day), inedible canolli dessert. Fortunately the service was correct and the setting pleasant, ultimately poor value for money.
A charming Italian restaurant where the dishes are tasty and carefully prepared.
Dinner in the private lounge. Slow service, expensive plate. This was my fourth and final visit to this restaurant.
We had a great time and we even had the privilege of being served by the gm Francis. Amazing experience
great service and ambience but the food was meh. first italian restaurant i have been to with no risotto on the menu.
Good ambiance for a date, good service at the tables, but deceiving plating. This is imitation cuisine. An assembly line for refrigerated and/or canned ingredients. The cool focaccia had the aromas of an overfilled refrigerator, the sauce was plain and even the parmesan was not adding the expected saltiness to the dish. It would be an insult to anyone able to recognize a freshly cooked meal from a rewarmed left over. Both me and my significant other spent a torturous 30 min in the bathroom , in pain and purging, within a few hours after consumption of their food. We will never go back there.
It was a great experience that we had on Tuesday evening. A wow not to be missed if you go to Gatineau!
Perfectly tender, the veal marsala escalope was almost cut with a fork and the chicken parmigiana was just as succulent. Both outgoing and very friendly, Annie-Pier provided service beyond our expectations. Very satisfied with our meal.
What a disappointment for our entire group. Not only was the wait time to get our main meals too long, but from an individual point of view, my meal was more than average for the price, i.e. the stew (EX: the sausages were burnt ). In addition, our entire group who ordered the fruit cannolis unfortunately returned them because they were inedible (the filling had no taste and the crust left a very unpleasant taste in the mouth). Very disappointing and Im not ready to go back, especially considering the price. For one person in the group: the vegetables that accompanied the salmon were cold (not lukewarm, but literally cold). Another person from the group: the carbonaras were seriously lacking in seasoning and I confirm having tasted it. Finally, there were several desserts on the menu that were no longer available (tiramisu, gelato) and it was not possible to order an espresso coffee (due to a problem with the machine and the electricity of the place, which has been going on for a long time).
Amazing experience. Foods so traditional and tasty Lumache snail entrée was so great. Focaccia bread is also highly recommended. Thanks to the chef ! Food : 5/5 |
They call this a tiramisu?? Their tiramisu doesnt look like an actual tiramisu
Wish I could give a zero or even a minus. Service was unbelievably slow. 2.5 hours before our mains were served. When it did 2/4 meals were cold. Having a steak served cold is a next level of evil. Worse part? Managers reaction was rude and abrasive. Told us that they had a large party that s why they were a bit slow. Offered to reheat our food I understand that mistakes happen but how you take ownership and do damage control is equally or even more important. I wouldn t recommend this place to my worst enemy. Do better.
Its just WOW!!! Perhaps the best Ossobuco Ive eaten! THANKS.
We loved the meal, the service. Everything was perfect. I walked with a walker and the waitresses and the one who took care of us were on point. We were at the restaurant for my party and our forty wedding anniversary. To recommend. A couple from Montérégie
Excellent service Attention to details Pro
I am satisfied with my experience at La Squadra because the service was excellent and the dishes authentic. The menu may lack variety (pizzas with other types of pasta for example) but overall it was very good. The salmon was good, the bed of orzo a little simple and I would have preferred more vegetables on the plate options and as an accompaniment. Otherwise it was good and the focaccia was excellent.
Very pricy for average fare.
Upscale italian fare. Friendly service but very pricey.
Not bad but the value for money is unfortunately not there.
Very expensive for very little. There was a lot missing on the menu, i.e. squid sauce. NOT very generous portion for the price. ACADEMY IS A BETTER CHOICE.
My wife and I went for Valentines Day. The server was efficient and very knowledgeable about the wines. The atmosphere was superb, with Prosecco for everyone. The arancini starter was very good, although it lacked marinara sauce. The squid was rubbery. For the main course, the lobster tail duo was good, same thing for the spaghetti carbonara, although they were quite dry. Generally, I believe that the quality of the cuisine is not what it was a few years ago. We left disappointed, considering the price of the bill. Where I was outraged was that when you pay, the terminal does not offer you the choice of entering the tip amount (% or $). You absolutely must choose one of the pre-determined choices: 15%, 18%, 20% or 25%. It would have been necessary to carry out two separate operations. Ridiculous.
Had a reservation for valentine s day around 8pm. Waited 30 minutes before the waitress first came to see us. After having only water on our table for another 30 minutes, we decided to leave. I think our waitress was just overwhelmed with the service, which could ve been avoided if more servers were on the floor. Disappointed since we went there before and had a great time..
What a lovely spot. Wonderful service, beautiful food, and just the right atmosphere. Can t wait to go again.
This is a very modern restaurant and located in a convenient location in the old Hull sector of Gatineau. Our server was pleasant. We were a party of 4. Unfortunately, 3 of our 4 meals were overcooked (baked too long). The lasagna was so crusty on top that you couldnt eat it. The chicken parm was dry and left too long in the oven as the cheese was crusty and burnt. Our appetizers were overcooked as well. The pasta side dishes were fresh, and their spaghetti sauce was excellent. It almost seemed like our dinner was reheated food from lunch or yesterdays dinner. Wheelchair accessibility: They are located at ground level, so it is very easy to access.
This is a wonderfully romantic spot. Service was TEN stars! Staff and the Director offered exceptional service in what was a hugely memorable evening for my wife and I, celebrating 10 years. Food was excellent - prices were competitive. We will be back often! Parking: Can be tricky or go behind a street and theres a large city paid lot.
Good service and excellent food.
The food is excellent and very reasonably priced. The wine is, like many restaurants, 3 times the SAQ price...Already looking forward to my next visit..
Best italian restaurant in the area! Impeccable food everytime and very good service. I recommend to everyone who wish to have a great dinning experience!
Good price, excellent service and the food is just wow!
We loved our first experience at La Squadra. Our waitress Kiana was friendly, courteous and efficient. The food is absolutely amazing. I will go back there often.
Went for birthday dinner on a Tuesday 7PM (January). Food was good. Lots of tables for seating. Ambiance was good, but would have been much nicer if the fireplace would have been in function. Service was just ok. Kitchen closed at 8PM so had to rush to put our order in. Was not made aware that dessert should have been ordered also in advance ... so no birthday desserts for us that night.
Found a nice gem in Hull! Loved everything, amazing service, delicious food and huge wine selection. Just found my favorite place to go with friends and date nights with my hubby!
The dishes were delicious, however the service left something to be desired. The restaurant was half empty, but the waitress didnt seem to come to check on us. The first time she came to serve us water and give us the menus was after at least 15 minutes. We then tell him that we are ready to order because we are hungry and we want to order the drinks and dishes as quickly as possible. She says shes going to get her tablet for the order and comes right back... We only see her again 20 minutes later, after weve asked her twice to order... The sevreuae seemed in a big hurry to get rid of the dishes: I was taking my last bite, fork in my mouth, when she removed my plate. There were also several things missing even though we were there on Saturday evening: no Prosecco for the cocktails, no amaretto, no lemon tart... Everything I asked for!
Very good meal. I haven t eaten such excellent Carbonara in a long time! Very good service
A big thank you to Francis for the magnificent service on the evening of February 16! We arrived like crazy and the gentleman gave us excellent service and everything was excellent!! I highly recommend!! Thank you very much for this beautiful evening!!
Everything was really good and well seasoned, from the octopus entree to the quail and pasta dishes.
TERRIBLE experience! Firstly, we had called a few days before to reserve in advance for X people. Once we arrived there, they brought us to a table with 3 places less than reserved. I had to persist with the manager who mentioned that it was impossible that we could have reserved for this number of people. I even had to prove to him the day and time I called on my phone for the reservation because otherwise he wouldnt prepare the table we had reserved (how can you treat your customers as liars!) In addition, they made mistakes on several of our plates (rosé sauce replaced by tomato sauce, linguini by spaghetti, non-alcoholic glass with alcohol, etc.) In short, we should have left since the manager seemed more proud to accept their mistake than to block tables from us. NOT RECOMMENDED! Spend your money elsewhere!
The service was great and the atmosphere very cozy. However, they are charging way too high prices for the quality of food. I ordered a chicken Parmigiano and they gave me rotisserie chicken with melted cheese on top. For future reference, cut the raw chicken breast in half long ways, cook it in the oven with some spices. Add mozzarella cheese and tomato sauce a la fin. The service took a little long for cold calamaris and rotisserie chicken that was just warmed up. A lot of potential, just needs the right direction. Je me souviens
I can only put a 3 star because I found a hair in my salad. It was blond like I am but wouldnt take a chance. The server swich my salad right away. She was so kind. The place is jazzy, very romantic and the desserts were to die for.
It s a place that s genuine.
Best testaurant. Best service.
First time eating here. Staff are very friendly and knowledgeable. Food was very well presented & well prepared. Our server was very attentive & my second cup of coffee was served in a new cup. Tiramisu was heaven. Will certainly recommend & we will come back! Kid-friendliness: Not really kid friendly of which I am glad! Don t want to have dinner while listening to whining and crying. Really enjoyed the atmosphere.
Good rental
Excellent The veal is simply perfect and delicious. Impeccable service.
Fantastic place, good portions of hot and delicious plates. Real cooks with young and courteous service, in a clean and inviting place, truly wonderful. Dietary restrictions: Gluten-free pasta available.
This was an excellent experience. The drinks were awesome. I had the Paper Plane and it was so good. I ordered the lasagna and it was out of this world. I m a lasagna guy and this is the best lasagna I ever had. To top it off, the service was very good and friendly. Will definitely go back soon. Parking: The only negative thing I have to say is about the lack of parking in the area but it was definitely worth the 1/2 kilometre walk. Lol!!
Havent even been and already disappointed. Clearly not an Italian soul behind this cooking.
We quite possibly found the best Italian restaurant in Gatineau on Saturday evening. A wide choice of delicious and hearty dishes, a pleasant atmosphere and excellent service from Jaëlle. Fairly high prices, the worst is the wine list, but rich and varied flavors that will make you salivate with every bite. We dont celebrate birthdays, its a shame. Buon appetito!
Had a disappointing experience here with a group of about 15 people. The kitchen I believe was extremely understaffed. I felt the servers were doing their absolute best to manage things, our orders were not taken promptly and our main came over two hours after we sat down, having had only an appetizer beforehand. Reservations made well in advance, so management should have scheduled accordingly. The staff were very friendly and warm, gave good wine advice. the issues definitely lies elsewhere, likely management. The food was hit and miss, but on better day I think it would be quite good.
Had the BEST experience here as a member of a bachelorette party! They were so accommodating and welcoming to our group, even when we were a little bit late. The food was amazing and our waitress did a great job . Dietary restrictions: Gluten-free available
Moderate portion, which is best if you dont want to feel too full. Taste amazing
This is the worst Italian restaurant in the area. My veal picata was boiled, my pasta was cold. The scallops, as a starter, were decent but three scallops for $22 when its quite ordinary, no thanks. Apart from that, usually when you enter an Italian restaurant you can smell all kinds of smells that make you hungry. Not there. It doesnt smell like anything. So, in conclusion, abstain.
WOW, Its a must, the food the service ambiance is amazing. Thank you so much for this amazing evening five stars all the way, looking forward to coming back very soon.
Gorgeous.
thank you for this good meal and your welcome
Very good Italian restaurant with interesting choices on the menu. The portions are good and well balanced. The service is attentive to customers in a chic and relaxed atmosphere. Parking is behind the building. We will definitely come back, thank you!
Great food. Great staff. Must try if youre in the area.
Hello, I went to your restaurant for dinner (lunch) the lunch menu was not at all up to par with your restaurant, in addition it was impossible to have your à la carte menu, the waitress offered us mediocre service , she was more interested in setting up the tables, she even moved a small dividing wall next to us without wondering if it could be disturbing, in addition for the wine she did not want to tell us that she was your wine house when we asked her, she answered, it is good. I liked this restaurant but I wont go back. An unpleasant experience.
Rather disappointing experience. At $30 for a pasta dish, you expect at least an offering of bread/butter and parmesan. Pepper maybe? Nothing! The waitress didnt even ask us if it was good... Dont try to make substitutions either (eg: penne instead of linguini), it will be refused. If you go with a child, forget the half plates, they cost the same price as a full plate. The English expression overrated takes on its full meaning here. There are a ton of Italian restaurants with better quality/price/service/atmosphere in the area to come back here.
First time and not the last. Very good veal Marsala, small downside the spaghetti with pepper could have been hotter. Excellent service. Small negative point: the water glasses were not clean when we arrived.
We went for a birthday, it was again very good. We received excellent service from Jaelle. We met Francis, the manager, whom we had already met almost 10 years ago in another restaurant. Hes still so friendly. The service was very friendly, the food was good, the atmosphere pleasant and the prices affordable. We went for a birthday celebration, still very good. We received excellent service from Jaelle. We met Francis, the manager, whom we had already met nearly 10 years ago in another restaurant, he is still just as funny and friendly. The service was very welcoming, the food was good, the atmosphere pleasant, and the prices affordable. Original review from 6 years ago, Friendly service, food was good, nice atmosphere and affordable.
Weve eaten here a few times over the past years, but the foods not as good now. The service is good, nice staff. My linguini pasta dish had very little pasta and just a few shrimps covered in too much sauce. I asked why it was so small compared to before, and they said they didn t size portions before but they do now to avoid waste. But they didnt lower the price, of course and I was left disappointed. The lemon pie tasted off to me, like the crust ingredients was not fresh with an overpowered lemon peel flavour making it bitter. Maybe they had an off day? Still, I wont be coming back anytime soon. Good luck. PS: They don t offer or serve free bread.
Great restaurant, we had a lovely evening. Good favorite, great discovery
Very limited menu during lunch to add to it some options on the limited menu werent available. But the food still available was yummi.
A necessary stop for foodies. Superb cellar, if you know a little about wine you will find a gem. Then the service is courteous, warm and impeccable. Perfect execution also on the food, and whats more the portions are generous. We come from afar and are only passing through, but we keep this address in our list of restaurants to revisit.
It was our first time there tonight and this salmon was literally the best we have had so far! Everything was great and we will definitely come back soon
I have been going to this restaurants for years now and Im not sure why but the last 2 times I have been extremely disapointed. Our service last thrusday was not up to part. They seemed to be short staff and the waitress in all honesty lacked finess. My guess had veal dish which she had to return as it wasnt warm and I had pasta and mine as well was not warm and dry; thinking that it had been sitting on the burner for the past little while. So I will unfortunately not be returning
Excellent meal and impeccable service
We were there for lunch and their menu is very small, not many options to choose from. Parking: We were lucky to find a spot.
The dishes are up to date and the service impeccable. Vegetarian options: Specific menu for them. Parking: Behind the building where the restaurant is located. Kid-friendliness: Children can go there but it is mainly designed for adults. Wheelchair accessibility: Door leading to the sidewalk.
No idea if there was a change of chef in the kitchen but our experience last Saturday had nothing to do with the previous one. Mushroom pasta that only tastes like truffle oil; the bread is extra. My Scallop starter was delicious. A young waiter who was very respectful and polite but made sporadic visits. At $700 for five, we expected more.
Excellent service, snail starter a delight, plate of wonderful salmon on the other hand, the veal escalope a disaster! Please remove this plate from the menu! Parking: Easy to access
As part of the Outaouais on the menu we have chosen your restaurant. We were very disappointed, the service was very slow, of the two dishes offered to choose from, you only had one left and nothing else was offered to us, better we asked for bread and in exchange we were asked for extra!!!Shocking!!! The dishes would have benefited from being a little hotter, it lacked flavor and refinement. It is understood that we will not return to the Squadra. Parking: I do not know
This restaurant is a neighborhood restaurant where the cuisine deserves a Michelin star. Supreme of guinea fowl half cockerel in juice. The fishermans plate with white sauce etc. Next to rue de Carouge we have our Old Chateau Robert the unemployed neighbor
We had a pleasant evening. The penne was delicious. And a special thank you to Martin, our server!
Very good cannelloni, nice atmosphere and courteous service
The excellent tartares (meals) have been removed from the menu. They are only offered as a starter (French for appetizer).
Pasta! Sublime! Outstanding service!
I bought 2 Italian boxes to take away. Unfortunately, the meals were extremely salty. In addition, the entry in one of the 2 boxes did not correspond to what should have been in the box.
Great ambiance, cozy and chic, amazing service, good wine selection. Sadly the carbonara was weak and tasted like a big plate of salt.
Impeccable welcome We had a very good dinner, no pressure Very nice atmosphere, nice evening
fresh, authentic, new, yummy, we all had pasta, chefs special and chicken parm. If your in the mood for Italian this is the place and the service was 5 .
Simply excellent Italian cuisine.
Very good service from Sophie Anne. Delicious meal, very nice atmosphere. Thank you very happy to have discovered you well done
Delicious food, great wine selection, lovely atmosphere. However its heavy on seafood and meat so theres not a lot of vegetarian options.
If you have tastebuds, bring them here! Flavor, taste, vibe.... best meal I have had in a very long time.
Service is poor, very expensive for the quality
A little lacking in taste for certain dishes but generally very good.
Excellent food.great services in a charming environment well designed. Congratulations
SUPER good salmon! I recommend it without hesitation. However, the cheesecake was not great Amazing service! I will go back
I would rather throw my money In The drain than go to that place . I never wrote a review about a restaurant before but I feel like I need to.. . the food was tasteless ( needs more flavour) it was just salty and oily Food way too over priced for the quality I think they were trying to create a fancy restaurant but nothing is fancy about it One positive thing I have to say is the staff was very friendly and helpful
Beautiful, comfortable restaurant, lovely atmosphere, warm welcome, attentive service. We ate well, pasta al dente and well seasoned, wine list very generous with Italian wines. We had a memorable evening, thank you to the whole team.
The service is impeccable, I recommend it and we will return there on our vacation
Excellent food! Duck cannelloni a must! Very nice evening with jazz music! I will go back!
One of the best pizzas in town! I would recommend it 100%. The attention is really good as well!
Superb food, beautiful atmosphere, warm decor. Parking: Free parking in the back Wheelchair accessibility: Easy access
Great wine cellar and variety. The sommeliers suggestion was perfect. Very impressive cellar. The sommeliers suggestion was perfect. Parking: Parking is behind the restaurant Parking is located behind the restaurant
Good morning, We always appreciate the service at the Squandra. The waitresses are pleasant and offer exceptional service. Our daughter loves olives, and the waitresses make sure to spoil her. The pot au feu is exceptional! Lots of other delicacies.
Very warm welcome and very good dishes. Lots of waiting between courses. Cozy and classy setting. Reasonable prices. A beautiful wine cellar.
Wow the octopus
The best octopus I have ordered!! I recommend to everyone!
Beautiful atmosphere, delicious food and very reasonable quantities. If you go on a Thursday evening, you will enjoy an excellent performance by Martin Longpré on the clarinet. Its absolutely perfect! Very happy to have discovered this restaurant!
Excellent Italian restaurant! Prices are reasonable, food was fresh and delicious, great service and beautiful ambiance! Highly recommend.
We received our bottle of wine after the starters, the piccata limone without lemon and served with onions and capers?
From starter to dessert WOW! Bravo to the cozy musical atmosphere. TOP service. Until next time.
Excellent as usual Generous portions.
Nice cozy place for some Italian food. Prices are fair and comparable to other Italian restaurants. Service was ok .. the dishes were generous and definitely filling .. I would probably go back if I m in Ottawa
Extraordinary atmosphere, excellent cuisine, very beautiful decor and even the bathroom with a choice of soap for the ladies is very inviting. A place to visit without hesitation
Overall good experience at the restaurant. The Buratta plate: very blend, nit enough salt and balsamic glaze. Presentation was great The Caille: the truffle risotto was good but not wow. The caille was amazing. The best part of the dinner. Well cooked and the stuffing was very tasty. Unfortunately due to the shortage of staff or maybe due to lack of customer, i don t know, they were missing a bunch of things on the menu. The ambiance was really nice. The servers were professional and really nice. Will probably not come back due to the blend taste of some food. But if you re into wine, they have a huge selection.
Great food and service.
Correct... No more! This evening was my 2nd visit to this restaurant, the service from the waitress was very ordinary.. The waitress seemed very rushed and impatient for us to order, when we had just arrived. We chatted a little before ordering, drank our drinks while relaxing a little after a long day, but we felt a lot of pressure from him (it was 5:15 a.m. when we arrived). This one brought us bread, without butter or olive/balsamic oil, we asked for some, but we had to remind her 3 times to bring us some. She seemed to have forgotten everything, 2nd glass of beer, salt and pepper, etc. It was annoying always having to ask. As for food, I took the salmon that many people sold to me, this one was overcooked, very dry, spinach and orzo really lacked seasoning. My partner received his order of pot au four, bland, lacked seasoning and most of the clams received in the shell were mostly empty. My mother was not able to eat all of her plate of pasta, because a lot too salty! Ahh and also, I ordered a non-alcoholic cocktail, this one cost as much as one with alcohol.. In short, the food and customer experience was not at all up to the price paid!! I really dont think Ill return or recommend...
Excellent food with beautiful presentation. The portions are still generous. Warm atmosphere. We will return.
The service was excellent but the veal picata was not tender and the accompanying pasta was cold I expected better
A gem in Gatineau, what a beautiful place with super friendly staff. I recommend it.
Our meal was super delicious!! And the service was great :)
Excellent service, however the meal is not worth the price. A little disappointed. The 3 chocolate cake was not fresh. Fish overcooked and cold. No nice plate presentation. Undrinkable cappuccino. Dietary restrictions: Gluten free ok.
Atmosphere, service, decor, food, all excellent!
Great setting! The food isnt as authentically Italian as they claim. A lot of dishes were north Americanized, which was a bit of a disappointment. Great wine selection, and amazing staff!
It was an extraordinary experience
Good selection of privately imported wine A good Italian restaurant Good atmosphere despite a choice of music not always appropriate We will return
Impeccable service! Delicious food and good portion! Really a nice place for a meal with friends.
Nice casual, fine dining in Gatineau. I really enjoyed the salmon dish. Excellent wine selection.
Top notch!! Very friendly staff, excellent atmosphere and the food was terrific!! I highly recommend this place and we will be back soon!!
Food amazing, employees happy, beautiful place! Loved it
We had booked for a group and unfortunately we did not have access to the full menu, which was never mentioned to us over the phone when booking. The service from the waitress was impeccable, however the service from the manager is a completely different story. The waitress did what she could to help us but came. So unfortunately the restaurant lost a group that evening because we went elsewhere. I understand that this may be a restaurant policy but advise on the phone when making a reservation because we would not have booked. We had access to not much on the menu, around 3 to 5 starters and 4-5 main courses.
A wonderful place for a group of 25 people or less and the A1 staff a big thank you to our server Ulrich
Always a pleasure to go there for a good Italian meal
I am giving this restaurant 2 stars based on the appalling service I received today. The place has only one small menu for the month of December which was news to me as they have a posted menu online but thats not what they offer and no options with the exception of the soup is vegetarian. I ordered the eggplant soup which was tasty and when I asked for the bill the server told me that she would charge for the whole menu which included mains which I did not order. when I corrected her she gave me attitude for not letting her know that I was staying just for the soup (again they didnt have any vegetarian mains). The service soured my entire lunch and I will not be returning.
Very good restaurant with nice atmosphere
December 2022 The Scaloppina Al Marsala dish arrived grayish in color, the broccoli yellow and the pasta tasteless and not even parmesan. The calamari was bland! A total disappointment!!!!
First time and certainly not the last! Great service it was very good from a to z.
Excellent all round, welcome, atmosphere, efficient service, and my meal = divine!
Delicious food with quality ingredients. Very good service, friendly and welcoming. Staff is knowledgeable on the food, menu, wines, beers, etc. The dining room is beautiful and has a nice vibe. Perfect date restaurant or just casually with friends. Looking forward to being able to come again (post confinement).
The best lasagna I have ever eaten!! Service is A1. Maître D came to our table to make sure everything was to our satisfaction. Covid friendly!!
Thanks to Jérémie and the whole team for the good dishes prepared for us for my wifes birthday. We really appreciated everything was ready to take away at the agreed time. To do again.
Great dining experience. To try, the cost of the visit is in relation to the quality of the food.$$$
Audrey and Francis were the epitome of exceptional customer service. We were celebrating my girlfriends call to the Bar and they ensured her night was extra special. Beyond that the food was amazing. Will definitely be a retuning customer.
Very good and good service
Absolutely amazing experience. Wonderful staff. Had their seafood linguine it was also amazing. Best home made gluten free pasta Ive ever tasted.
Super good food. Super good service. Super good atmosphere (music not too loud or aggressive)
Delicious carbonnara & lasagna. Also good service!
The food was delicious and the selection of wine is spectacular. Good job to francis who is running the show over there and the employee are the best in town!!
One of the best Italian restaurants I have ever eaten..
Beautiful decor, truly wow. Good selection of wines and nice menu, but lacked refinement in the dishes and flavors
Excellent restaurant! The dishes are excellent, the service friendly and welcoming. A little away from old Hull, there was still room for dinner, which made us lucky, for a last minute reservation!
Lovely place, charming and amazing employees. Food is divine. Their wine selection is sublime
Usually a good restaurant but the risotto was like soup. We had to ask for the bread and it was dry.
Excellent place
We had an exceptional evening at your place. The food was exquisite (osso bucco) and the food and wine pairings were perfect. Audrey offered us impeccable and dynamic service. I recommend this restaurant with enthusiasm.
Very good...excellent service
Friendly place and very pleasant and friendly service. Only small problem for us...the cook must have been in love or the oven was set incorrectly but my pollo alla parmigiana was completely burnt underneath and therefore had 1 burnt taste, the lasagna also had 1 burnt piece and the pine nuts in the torta della nonna also had 1 burnt flavor
The place was bad, the lighting was dark took 10 minutes to be greater at table then excuse after excuse about the beer missing and what was left on menu. Management did not even come to make excuses they just.took menu away.and said good night. Another place that just wants.your.mpney and dont care about service
First of all the service was beyond amazing!!! The atmosphere, food was fantastic! Best Italian food I have eaten in ages. ALL the dishes were so well seasoned and I love a good carbonara and this is the BEST I ever had. Our server was Audrey and she was so attentive and fun that she made the experience so memorable. We will definitely be returning for the food but especially the service!!!!
Impeccable service! Manager/sommelier so interesting and welcoming. And the food was perfect. I recommend without hesitation to lovers of good wine and good food!
I work there
I was in this restaurant one evening in February Not too many people I asked for more light because it was so dark I couldnt see the menu!! I have spaghetti Carbonara I almost choked when the plate arrived and asked the waiter if it was a childrens portion!!? There was so little on the plate I dont understand given the price ($26) its already expensive for spaghetti but with the quantity its 3 times more expensive!!! I took the photo I am sure I will never return to this restaurant given the price of the dishes and the EXCESSIVE smallness of the dishes!!
the meals are very delicious
Good, expensive, too small portions
A real Italian cuisine restaurant. I had given up on Italian restaurants in the Ottawa region. Huge portions of American-Italian food is all you get in Little Italy. We came across Squadra by chance and found a real veal piccata in lemon sauce, excellent soup. A real find.
Very delicious food in a classy ambience ! Lots of options for food, wine and drinks. Maitre dhôtel Francis and the staff were truly friendly and professional. Love this restaurant and will go back again for sure !
The service was incredible, Audrey was very friendly and welcoming we will go there again definitely! Thanks Audrey
I think we waited too long before coming to this restaurant for dinner. The service was good but slow. In addition, the waiting time for meals was long. The waitress got my meal wrong. I didnt say anything because she was polite. However, my vegetables had no taste and my veal had a slimy texture. Thats not counting my friends spaghetti that was <<undercooked>>. Disappointing for an Italian restaurant. A 2 for the nice waitress all the same.
La Squadra is my restaurant! Excellent food, more than generous portions, impeccable and courteous service and what can we say about the decor! I love it and highly recommend it whether for a one-on-one dinner or a group dinner. (Private room), La Squadra, A MUST PS: It is not the fact that we are confined that we must deprive ourselves of eating well. Takeaway meals!
Placing the order went very smoothly and was ready at the requested time. No problem parking for pickup. Excellent meal. To do again and thanks to the team.
We ordered meals for our employees (and had them delivered) and it was truly delicious. Great service from Francis the Maître d hôtel. Much appreciated!! THANKS!
Im not so good
