Everything was absolutely delicious and the staff were so friendly! Every single dish was perfect, and the maple crème brûlée was hands down the best I’ve ever had in my life. Highly recommend visiting this place!

Food was taking way too long after waiting for an hour. Pasta was not cooked well. The pappardelle was still raw. Atmosphere is good.

On the whole, great food. We were seated outside the main restaurant in another area of the hotel. Unfortunately I feel the restaurant was too busy to accommodate us as we had quite a wait for food and drinks to arrive.

We reserved dinner here on our trip to Quebec City based on good reviews. Unfortunately, we booked the wrong night, but the restaurant was able to accommodate us. We chose to sit outside and didn't really get to see the inside, which looks pretty nice. we were seated outside near the narrow street not knowing it would be an endless parade of cars and trucks passing us within a few feet or so. We ordered drinks and wine from a mostly disinterested server. Drinks were okay, food was okay, a mama's lasagne and a linguine with clams. There was nothing bad, but it was just an okay experience. They seem to cater to the tourists, knowing they won't be back.

The meal took far too long to arrive, and by the time it got to my table, I was already regretting my choice.

Could only get a reservation at the bar for our desired time. We had wonderful service at the bar from Alexis. She was professional, pleasant and took very good care of us. Her food recommendations were spot on. I had the seafood linguine with tomato sauce and it was delicious. My husband had the carbonara with the egg yokes and it was so rich and yummy. We closed with the wonderful crème brûlée. The atmosphere was warm and inviting. I highly recommend this restaurant for a great Italian meal!

This was excellent choice for a later night arrival in Quebec City. Great food & staff with a lighter basil sauce for myself and meatball spaghetti for my husband. Wonderful welcome to the city by the staff & atmosphere.

Very disappointed after a fine meal we had there a year ago. The manicotti was barely edible. Agnolotti was flavorful but improperly cooked. We enjoyed the Caesar and caprese salads.

We had a lovely experience at the restaurant. The food was absolutely delicious. We especially appreciated how attentive and helpful our server Samuel was. We didn’t speak French, and he patiently explained everything to us. When we were feeling cold, he kindly brought us a blanket. He also recommended a lovely Italian wine, which was especially helpful. He also took the time to explain all the vegetarian options for my cousin and what he could enjoy. The food, service, and hospitality made our visit truly special. We would definitely come back!

NOT Gluten Friendly. Member of our party became severely contaminated. Meals were served about 2 bouts after arrival. Other guests arrived after us and still before us. Service in general was very poor.

We visit every summer and typically dine here each trip on our first night. Last night was no exception, we enjoyed a fantastic dinner on the patio. We love that the service isn’t at all rushed and it is a nice pace between the appetizers and main course. Delicious food and excellent service. We will be back!

Started off the evening with very mediocre service, and it only went downhill from there. This was honestly one of the worst Italian meals we’ve ever had—the food was below par and practically inedible. I didn't know anyone could mess up simple penne all'arrabbiata and minestrone soup, but the pasta was far from al dente and completely flavorless. We ended up having to return our food. I very rarely leave negative reviews, but this place called for it.
