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.
Excellent food, great service, decent prices and great selection of wines. Quiet atmosphere.
Amazing family restaurant with fresh and homemade real Italian food !! Service was amazing and we were a group of 30+ !! Thank you to Nick and his team 🇮🇹
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.
Really nothing to complain, all was excellent. You can really taste Italian food in this restaurant, well done and nice atmosphere. Great customer service, it deserves a second visit next time I'll pass in Montreal.
Great restaurant and staff. Customer service is excellent. Food can have a bit more flavor.
Disservice. Very ordinary food for an exorbitant price.
Very good restaurant, great atmosphere and very good food
Very good service the food served hot I suggest this place
The food was good and the price reasonable. We plan to go back!
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...
Small portion and price too high. Cesar salad $12 for a few leaves. 2 strips of flank steak and fries freeze $40.. Incredibly disappointed. never again
Excellent Italian food. But, like many other restaurants, prices are now very high; result? we go there less often..
Best in town!
Amazing food, cozy, feels like home!!!
Extremely rude staff.
Very nice. Amazing dessert!
Best pizza in Laval for my taste
Excellent
Very good. Good portions. Highly recommend it. Owners super nice.
Delicious, fresh and immaculately clean. I recommend it to you.
people are very pleasant and love to chat. Food was well appreciated. we will go back Food
Excellent experience in terms of service and dishes served, I highly recommend it! Parking: Easy to access
The atmosphere is all very bland and the staff unresponsive, but their food is as good as you would expect from such a place.
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.
Good and reasonable price
Great restaurant.
The service is good. The bread is good. The 2 pasta dishes ordered were not up to what you can find in Italian restaurants. not very tasty!!
Super good authentic Italian cuisine. With inspirations from French cuisine and Belgian chocolate desserts. A must if you like to eat! Generous portions and friendly service.
Im used to modifying the meat sauces of establishments at home but Gualdieris is untouchable. It is exquisite, unique and refined, finally like all the touches of the restaurant, service included.
Leno and team are absolute professionals and know how to create one of the best fine dinning experiences in town !
Excellent food, impeccable service, nice place, clean and friendly! Will go again!
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.
Very good cook. But the boss was in a terrible mood, enough to ruin my appetite.
The veal with lemons was cut with a fork and my garlic pasta was delicious. The crème brûlée was superb. We liked the Caesar salad and fried squid starters less. Very good service.
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.
Amazing Restaurant! 10/10. Would recommend to anyone looking to eat authentic Italian food!
They have the best service and Italian Cuisine. One of my favourite restaurants in Laval
Excellent service! There crème brulée is to die for
You can not go wrong with the mozzarella buffala! Nice and friendly staff. The food was fresh and nicely presented.
Its a bit pricey but they have more affordable options. Everything is excellent, and wonderful staff...
Very warm welcome. Fast service. Excellent meal. A great discovery for us. Dont hesitate to go there.
Beautiful place Beautiful reception room Excellent meal and service
Delicious pizza , very homemade best crust ever and tortellini were good too
The ultimate Italian restaurant. Quality on the plate!
We celebrated our daughter s baptism and our engagement party here. Excellent food and great service! Definitely recommend!
Not very professional especially regarding parking management. I didnt like my experience.
Beautiful place with amazing food and service. Will definitely go back.
A discovery, the staff, the menu, everything is perfect in this restaurant. 100% I would come back to try their dishes. Ps: the crème brûlée is delicious
Great food
Fun find recommended by a friend who lives in the neighborhood! Little local Italian restaurant tucked into a little corner of an unassuming strip mall. Nice selection of wine, friendly staff and a small outdoor terrasse for nice summer days. Food was overall quite good but was not particularly overwhelmed by my main dish.
Excellent service and delicious food. THANKS!
Very good service and good food! See you soon.
Lasagna and pizza are the best. Absolutely worth trying!
Nice little restaurant in a small mall. Food was ok, but I expected more from an Italien restaurant. Food a bit pricey, which is not a problem, but it lacked presentation and flavor.
In this restaurant we had a group meeting. They had reserved a whole room, round tables of 6 people each. What I will never forget is the warm bread with butter served at the beginning, it was sooooo delicious OMG. I highly recommend it. The food was very good and the service excellent. The dessert was so delicious. Its a clean restaurant. there is a large parking lot outside.
It was okay. Nothing special.
Every things is perfect: food , service.
I will give 10 stars. Warm atmosphere, impeccable cleanliness, fresh and delicious food, professional service, politeness, elegance. Mr. Gualderi thank you very much
If you want fine Italian food, this place isn t it
Perfect thanks
A very good neighborhood restaurant with simple, classic and authentic cuisine. Good attentive service. A sure value to return to.
Excellent food, service and wine selection.
Very good Italian restaurant! Good service and nice atmosphere.
There are prices on the site and you order and when you go to pick it up, its much more expensive...... no excuses, that really doesnt make sense, THIEVES........ ..................
Excellent Italian restaurant. No matter what you choose, its always excellent. I had my wedding reception a few years ago and we go back very often. The squid is exquisite. Excellent pastas and pizzas. And what about the veal?
Ordered with them through UBER EATS, never got our food. Not sure what kind of business trusts their goods with some incompetent drivers, and then tells you its your problem afterwards. Trash place, never ordering through them or UBER EATS ever again.
It is unacceptable to put a big square of plastic with lots of holes under the pizza. At a time when we are fighting against all this plastic, it is not normal and not essential...
It is a great Italian restaurant. Food os really good, ambiance is great and service is fantastic.
Service wasnt good and the food was below average.
I loved it and there are excellent red wines to discover
Very good Italian restaurant offering excellent wines at very attractive prices.
My experience left me unwilling to return here simply because the 4 course meal was lacking in presentation and that special secret ingredient thing that all great restaurants are known for. If you are like me and want to have that ultimate wine and dine experience in terms of great food, service and ambiance then this place would recieve half marks. Given most of those marks to the waiters, busboys and bar tenders. The rest is history!
Excellent food excellent service and Priced Right

The food here is always excellent. Ive been here a number of times for private parties and the owner and staff are always accommodating. Its really a great place to go if you are looking for a small private venue for your parties with really good food. Your guests will be impressed.
Amazing food and really sweat people!
Good italien food responsable price
Impeccable service
Positives: clean and welcoming place Negative: Lukewarm main course. He should serve it as soon as its done and not wait to send everything at once.
Amazing food and service! We had my sister and brother-in-laws 25th Wedding Anniversary party here. I personally want to thank Maria, Lino and Luigi who were so fantastic, helpful and accommodating to us! They gave us so many insightful tips and even saved one of our huge balloons from popping LOL. Thank you :)
We were around 60 at a sweet 16 party. The food was excellent and hot. The service was good and attentive. No complaints.
great pizza.
Nothing out of the ordinary. Decent. Bring your own wine prices but its not BYOW. Overpriced. Deep in suburbia, cant ask for much.
$$$ for what it was.... Very ordinary starter, meal, dessert... Service ok... Nice atmosphere...generous on the bread...
Tremendously elegant and personalized service, exquisite Gourmet quality and the best wines from all of Laval and Montréal, there is someone who is an expert in Premium quality wines without a doubt. The prices are in accordance with the quality of service of the place, absolutely recommended for those looking for the better service Excellent cuisine and tremendous wines!!!
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.
Excellent food and service; enjoyed the our evening there.
Its easy to find an Italian restaurant but difficult to find one with authentic Italian food and this is one of those places. Sauce is as close as you can get to nonas. Focaccia is a must. Amazing prices for the amount of food you can get. Amazing selection of private import wines. An absolute must try...
Typical and very good
Very good!
Service impeccable
Excellent food, service, and ambience. Made for a great Valentines.
Very good food and great service. I was here with a large group and everything went very smoothly.
A good little Italian restaurant. To be rechecked
Impeccable food and service!
Room for a slightly small reservation
Very good experience in this restaurant. Impeccable service, very pleasant and attentive servers. BUT above all refined cuisine as we like it in Europe. A pleasure to discover and share. Dont hesitate, go ahead
Amazing food and service.
Excellent
Great service. Great food. Very accommodating and welcoming.
Simply delicious, everything is homemade! I highly recommend it, the menu is diverse and they have excellent Italian wines with some very interesting imports. To discover!
Great pizza!
What a delight and what service!!!! Real Italian cuisine.
impossible to get a place for 2 in a restaurant on a Saturday/Friday evening even at 8 p.m. Very ordinary pasta, not very tasty. Looks like commercial jarred sauce.
Honestly one of the best Italian restaurants in the region. I loved the service which was on par with a gourmet meal worthy of the name. I recommend anyone looking for an authentic Italian meal to eat there! Five stars I will definitely return
Excellent Italian restaurant, very good cuisine, for birthdays or group receptions, good reputation, good choice in the table dhôte I am very satisfied I tried the veal chop with mushroom sauce with the gravlax starter and the pear caramel dessert I recommend this restaurant.
The food here is absolutely amazing! This is a must. Service is great and prices are reasonable, try their 3 course menu.
Excellent !
Food and ambiance was excellent. Pasta sauce almost like Nonas.
