What guests say about Sapristi St-Jean

Family-run Italian restaurant with a pleasant and often relaxed atmosphere, even when it's busy.

The service is generally appreciated as courteous, efficient, and attentive, but a few customers noted service mistakes and poor handling of gluten-free/celiac needs.

Sapristi was our favourite meal of all 5 days in old Quebec. We had the pizza of the moment with fries and it was the best pizza we’ve ever had!

The calamari was good, not chewy at all but for $18 there could have been a few more pieces on the plate. We took the Di mare and sapristi pasta which tasted okay but both the pastas felt watered down, the sauce was not rich enough. We also took the kids meal which was good for the price. Overall the atmosphere was nice, service was good. The portions and flavour do not match up to the price.

The place was busy and popular, even at 5pm, with good staff and nice atmosphere. The food was fine, my risotto was overcooked even though it was the special.

We went here with 2 families and it was a great experience. The serving staff was very accommodating and pleasant. We ordered the duck pizza, pasta, truffle fries, and a kids meal. Everything was delicious. I thought the duck pizza was the best food I ate at Quebec.

The food was excellent, my ever so picky children ate everything which may be the first time that has ever happened. The service was beyond excellent. They kindly made room for us even without reservations. The server was so kind and attentive. Wonderfully light atmosphere where I felt comfortable with my 3 children. One of my children is autistic and therefore I'm always nervous how people will respond to him and likewise how he will respond to the atmosphere. I never once felt judged, uncomfortable or worried for him. When we go back to visit your beautiful city, we will be sure to make a stop there again. Thank you for having us!

We love this location. Hostess gave my GF some short curly hair tips and Claudelle was wonderful with her English skills and service. Get in her section!

A nice modern ambiance. Good but not great food at a reasonable price. Friendly service with a few mistakes along the way. But an overall nice evening was enjoyed.

I’m sure the food is good, but unfortunately they are confused about how to accommodate a person with celiac and are providing bad guidance that could make someone very sick

Food is at best decent and way overpriced. Even worse, the barmaid offered terrible service and when we only left a 7% tip (my policy for crap service), she came out an yelled at us in front of the entire restaurant! "Mangez la marde!" She said! I think someone has been spoiled by tourist tips...please do not go here!
