The last time I ordered from you it was 15 years ago. If I live 15 more years I may order again, just to see if you learned something. Are you are restaurant trying to be a reception hall or a reception hall trying to be a restaurant? In the Montreal area there a some great Italian chefs but even less great Italian restaurants, why? None who work at Italian restaurants. Let me give my opinion, too many Italian restaurants try to be like French restaurants and we all know how little great French restaurants we have here. A box of pasta is 2 bucks, you charge over 20$ bucks for a simple plate of pasta and serve it in a container the size of a side salad for take out. Your pizza is ok but again it's under garnished and over priced. We I picked up our order, I was sure half of it was missing in the bag. However there was no error it was all there in small little containers, you won't retire on selling over priced pasta, trust me. We needed to add a few spoons of muffaletta on everything to make it taste good. There is not one place in Laval, where someone can get a good simple plate pasta on a regular basis. For the same price we get 5 pounds of great Greek food and in those tiny containers you use to sell a full serving of pasta, they throw in a great side salad. They are busy each night and often sell out their famous dishes. Busy inside, busy with pickup, busy with the delivery services. And when we want great pasta we make it at home, like all the great nonnas did and serve it in a big plate and there are seconds available if needed. For next to nothing. So see you in 15 years, maybe. Ciao!

We were really looking forward to trying this new restaurant since we moved to the area. The atmosphere was very warm and welcoming. The service was good, however the food... Calamari tasted like frozen that you would buy in a grocery store. Our first serving of bread came to us cold. And the pasta was very lacking in flavor. The sauce was very watery and had barely any taste. I honestly could have made the exact same meal at home for cheaper. Unfortunately we won't be going back here.

Very good food and service! Lino, Maria and Antonella really took care of us. We tried the beef and lamb shanks plus different pasta dishes and deserts. We were 6 people and we were all very satisfied! See you soon!

Bread: came out piping hot, which is nice but mildly chewy Beef carpaccio: it's too salty, even after I removed the abundant salt cubes (see picture). The beef was good and tender and paired well with the other ingredients, but it lacks the vinaigrette. As you can see in the picture, the drizzle is not much and so adds little to the dish. I would not recommend this dish since I spent the majority of the time removing the salt, and it was still salty. Eggplant appetizer: the cheese gratin is overwhelming, it's like eating a vegetarian lasagna without the pasta. The cheese cracker is unnecessary. Manicotti: This looks exactly like the eggplant appetizer and also like a lasagna. The amount of cheese on this dish is insane. It makes the dish very salty. Once the cheese removed though, the manicotti has a classic good taste. Gnocchi sauce rosée: the gnocchis are fluffly and soft to eat, which I like. The sauce is just enough of creaminess and tomatoness. Very cute small italian restaurant that provides great service. However, the dishes I have tried were not good. I would only recommend the gnocchi. I honestly wanted to give this place a better review, seeing that they grow their own herbs and cherry tomatoes. I saw the chef pick tomatoes with my own two eyes. Unfortunately, the food was not to my taste nor was the price of it for what was served to me.

Very disappointed the first times delicious, the other times in a group Very poor service by the lady, I returned this year with a friend, very disappointed, my partner perfect fish. The owner mentions to me the lobster in Cédille and salad...not edible, served in 2 hot dog buns half roasted pieces of lobster about 5 small pieces very hard a little red pepper very inedible a little frozen fries, red cabbage salad very bitter that I took away and froze. All $45+TAXES. The owner who sees my plate has the nerve to ask how did you find the cedilla he saw my plate all shredded?..?Hello!,!! Im not going back there anymore, hes lost my clientele and many others... Take it from this restaurant...

Rediscovered this well kept secret in Vimont Laval just before Xmas. Im Italian and I honestly can say the food was deliciously prepared. The owner and hostess were very courteous even though you can see sadness in their eyes that the geniuses at the Québec Government were imposing a decree to shut down all dine in restaurants due to COVID. We wish this eatery continued success.

What a very, very bad experience I had today. We had arranged to meet after a funeral this afternoon, July 13th. Oh horror, the reservation was for 20 people and 40 of us arrived. Okay there was a lack of staff, but thats not a reason to rush us and raise our voices. Before even saying anything, the famous Lino almost refused the people who arrived last. Whether these people are part of our group, or just customers, what difference? And to add insult to injury, he included an 18 percent tip. What a Horror and what a Mistake. I do not recommend this restaurant forever.

Ive been wanting to try this place for a while, so I decided to order a few items on SkipTheDishes. I had a Spaghetti Napolitana dish and a 10 Napoletana pizza. Considering the price, I was expecting an extraordinary dining experience, but ended up with incredible disappointment. The spaghetti dish was very difficult to eat, in fact I had to put it in the fridge to finish in case of total despair because there was such a lack of taste. The tomato sauce tasted absolutely nothing, to the point where I started to wonder if I had lost my sense of taste due to a Covid infection. Hugely disappointed. However, I would still like to give this place another chance in the future.

Given most of those marks to the waiters, busboys and bar tenders. The rest is history!

Ordered 3 pizzas for takeout with the family. Had been to this place before, but never for pizza. I had liked the meal last time, so wanted to see if the pizza stood up to that experience. I opened boxes at home and was in shock. It was as if the pizzas had been thrown up against the wall. The toppings were all stuck to one side and to the carton. Half of the pizzas had no more toppings because all the ingredients seaped to one side. I was also very careful with handling the pizza myself, so this is not the issue. Aside from the visual disaster, the taste test wasnt great. The dough was flavorless and undercooked. Whoever makes the pizza also did a poor job of getting the ratio of under crust and outer crust right. Some spots had almost no crust, so the pizza was soggy, wet and breaking apart (even with no toppings on some slices). The outer crust was over an inch thick in some areas, so clearly the pizzaiolo doesnt care much for taste, consistency and texture. Believe it or not but there was also very little sauce, which I dont mind, but to have such a soggy pizza that is near dry....time to review either your staff or your dough. At least the taste of the sauce was good, the toppings seemed fresh. In my lifetime I have never actually been so disappointed from pizza. Some of the frozen kind from grocery stores would put these to shame. By far the worst pizza Ive ever had. Would I eat at this resto again? Yes, at some point. The owner is a nice guy, the meat dish i had last time was excellent, and the service was good. Ill be sure just to never order another pizza and especially not for takeout.
