Our waitress let us to our table. She was very hospitable and she spoke very good English and told us that they have a salad bar part of our meal. I ordered a classic spaghetti with meat sauce and hubby ordered spaghetti with steak. My meal was amazing. They put a lot of meat sauce and the spaghetti was just cooked right not to soft not too hard. My hubby's steak was cooked perfectly. I also tried the tiramisu not too bad. I wish they put a lot of rum. lol. Chocolate cake was delicious. The place looks elegant and expensive, although the prices are not too bad. I recommend this place.

First off, the food itself, we ordered Carbonara, Gnocchi and fisherman pot…read more The carbonara was ok, but the bacon was way too salty and the pasta was flavorful even other reviews said the sauce is too heavy, but to me, it was ok, not bad. Gnocchi was really bland, no flavor at all. I feel like I was eating a dough with a bit of sauce on top. The fisherman pot was good, flavorful and the bread was crunchy, not too dry. They had even seafood in it, squids, clams, mussels and scallops. The portions of the food were too small. Even we ate something before coming here. The service was questionable, she was ok but keep pushing us to order more food or drinks, to the points I had to tell her that we ate something before coming here, so we weren't that hungry. The worst part is she tip shaming us, after I got the bills, she basically standing next to me, pressuring me to leave enough tips for her. It made me very uncomfortable.

From the moment we walked in, the service was warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. The owners went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect, which made the night feel extra special.

Yum yum yum!! My husband and I loved it here…read more We had a beautiful evening at Elefante. It's like we were back in Italy. Authentic and tasty Italian food and very friendly staff. One of the owners personally came to talk to us and check in. My husband loved his filet, it was one of the best he's ever had. I also loved my rigatoni, not too spicy but lots of flavor. The outdoor dining was really nice and relaxing. Food was just perfect, 10/10. You gotta check this place out!

Wifey had the eggplant parmigiana. Fresh noodles, crisp lightly coated eggplant and the most amazing fresh sauce. Killer good. I opted for the veal chop medium rare. It was served with roasted potatoes and broccolini in another fabulous reduction sauce. The manager (super cool guy) comp'ed a tiramisu which was equally amazing, full of espresso soaked wafers and cream. The takeout experience was so good I can't wait to go in for the full treatment!

No Clowning around…read more Il Pagliaccio is a cozy fine dining restaurant with chic/modern decor. Jacky juggled his 5 course meal of beet salad, eggplant parm, gnocchi & a tender cut of contre fillet de veau accompanied with an array of premium wines. Head pagliaccio, Manny, is serving fresh of the day. No frozen foods on your dish unless you get the semi-fredo for dessert. Price is no laughing matter but expected for the great/classy service & quality of food. Parking is a joke but you'll have the last laugh once you're done with this joint. Follow @JackyEatsMTL
