The staff was AMAZING and especially Elliot! We were stopped in surprise when we passed by and had to stop in because it was so beautiful and had many things to look at like the memorabilia and the Ferrari room. I highly recommend this place to people who don't usually eat Italian cuisine daily and would be a good place to visit with kids as it has some options for them. Great thanks to Elliot for serving us!

We did a take out so I cannot comment on the atmosphere of the restaurant or the service. The prices were on the expensive side for the taste and quantity offered. The veal tasted a bit of the oil. The eggplant parmesan could have been more cooked and there was only 3 small layer slices. Usually you get 2 of them for that price at other restaurants. So we were a little disappointed. The addition of bread in our order was a nice touch, but the plastic bag, butter (margarine actually) cups and even plastic forks melted in the package. At least the meal was warm, lol. Would I go back? I'm not sure.

What a wonderful find. It was our last day in Quebec and we stumbled upon this quaint Italian restaurant. The atmosphere was so cozy and charming. The staff were super friendly without being in your face every 5 minutes. The live accordion music made you feel like you were in Italy. The food was excellent, a bit on the pricy side, but worth it. Highly recommend!

I ordered a Margherita pizza and garlic bread at this restaurant, and it was honestly the best pizza I’ve ever had. The flavors were perfectly balanced, the crust was just right, and everything tasted incredibly fresh. Highly recommended!

Very unique italian restaurant. Nice decor. Good live musique. Food is copious and friendly pricing. Cozy place and quite crowded, feel like squeezed. But despite the crowd, it was easy to talk. Food is good. Not the typical italian, a little trended to US italian. But still, very delicious.

This place is so authentic with great vibes. Service and food were okay but prices are high a little bit. Value for money is not the best, in my opinion.

We make our own pesto. Sorry you didn't like it. We have over twenty different pasta dishes; perhaps you'll find something you'd enjoy. Have a good day.

This is my favorite restaurant in Old Quebec Canada!!! I've never been disappointed with any dish I've eaten here. The music is lively and fun. It fills up quickly with ppl and they're so friendly. Come and enjoy a family like atmosphere.

The basil garlic pasta taste sooo bad no flavour tasted like water. People who say this is the best Italian have zero taste. Very overpriced for the quality

We were there last night and I would say this is a great place for families and kids. My little daughter who just turned 10 loved the atmosphere and decorations, it's a fun and beautiful setting, and the food was good. Our server Laura was the best server I've had in years - highly attuned to us always despite her having a full house to serve (including a table of 10 behind us with 3 birthdays), and always pleasant and smiling and friendly. Every time I even thought we might need something - she was there. The live music was great too, my daughter loved the accordion songs. Fantastic night there.

This was an amazing restaurant! Our group of 9 was able to be accommodated, and it was such a great atmosphere. Also we had an amazing server named JC who helped us split our checks and overall gave us incredible service! 10/10 would come back if I’m ever in Quebec again!
