Ah Tonino, I’m very saddened to be writing this. Second day visiting Quebec with my boyfriend, wanted to treat him to a nice dinner as he’s from here and has talked about wanting to try this place. came on Wednesday, Oct 21. Everything was outstanding, it was such a memorable evening until the end. After my boyfriend and I finished dinner we checked the receipt and we realized they had actually charged us for 2 full pasta dishes instead of the 1 that the server had already confirmed he would split onto two plates for us, no extra charge. No problem. My boyfriend goes back in to get it sorted, they explained that in order to get reimbursed, they need to refund the entire amount (213.28$) they explained they will recharge the proper amount of the bill (155.80). Trusting them, we allowed the charge of 155.80 after they told him that the full refunded amount (213.28$) would surely be in my account it would only take about 30 minutes. Now it’s been almost a week, and I have not been reimbursed for any of it. So $406.18 has been taken from Tonino. Not super ideal to stress about a restaurant for the remaining time of my trip. After contacting them multiple times and getting assured that I will be paid by today (Monday) I still haven’t been paid at all. I leave back to Edmonton tomorrow and if this restaurant is all that they claim to be then refunding the entire amount would be fair considering how much of an issue this has been.

The food was good, but the service did not match the quality of the food. I understand they might have been short staffed, but we felt ignored during most of our meal. The server only came to our table to seat us and bring us the bill. The rest of the time, we tried to get her attention, but she would not come over. We even tried to stop her when she came to serve the table next to us, but it did not always work. Overall, the food was good, but the poor service made the experience disappointing. I was also disappointed with the tiramisu. The cream was too watery, and the texture was not what I expected.

Tonight my husband and I had dinner at Tonino. We came from Toronto and had heard so many great things about the fusilloni aux champignons, noisettes & burrata - it did not disappoint. Easily my favourite pasta dish ever. We also had the Artichauts à la juive, burrata & pistaches. Oh my goodness, the most incredible starter. The artichoke was cooked to perfection. The service was incredible, our server was so hospitable and made the experience so great. The atmosphere was so intimate even though the restaurant was packed. Going back to our hotel so happy and full.

This is a must try! We were in Quebec over Labor Day weekend and had a meal to remember. The mussels, pasta, and ribeye were amazing! Also, the staff were incredibly friendly and attentive. Highly recommend!

This is the cozy Italian restaurant. The most important thing is the food. The food is exceptional. There is a lot of detail vent to each food plate. Taste is amazing worth it to see and have it food here.

Kamul was an attentive server for us, giving us personal in-depth English explanations of menu items along with places to visit in Quebec City. Excellent dining experience for our family, including our foodie teens.

This was a recommendation through our Airbnb and we absolutely LOVED it. The food was amazing and where else can you have your food delivered by a gentleman singing in Italian to you. The wait staff was incredible and took their time translating the menu for us to make our selections. Everyone was wonderful and we really enjoyed the whole experience.

Best Italian restaurant in Quebec. A little gem that only locals knows about. The food is amazing and the portions are gigantic. One pasta dish is more than enough for two people. Service is amazing and the overall mood was cozy and private. Make sure to have a reservation.

It was our last night in Quebec and it was amazing. 10/10. There was no english menu, but it wasn’t an issue at all. The service was phenomenal and the Tony/Antoine as well as another gentleman and women were super nice and explained the dishes very well. Me and my partner got a comfortable and private seat with some amazing cocktails and food. Arancini, pasta and lamb is amazing. Will come back for sure next time we’re in Quebec

A visiter et revisiter! Certainement Le meilleur restaurant de Québec! Update. This is still my favorite Italian restaurant in Quebec!!! The size of the entrée are big enough for two. I took the roquette salad and the carpaccio and it was delicious! Looking for a real typical Italian restaurant, this is it! I've been in Italy a couple of time and i do believe this is the most representative Italian Piemonte style in Quebec! I had the gnocchi a la creme and Mimosa eggs! Update 2026: This is still amazing and very tasty! Came here for a birthday and everyone loved the food. The chef keeps singing which is creating a lovely ambiance!
