Had a lovely lunch with my MIL and wife here when we were visiting. It was my MIL's pick, but I…read morewish I knew that it was strictly a BYO wine restaurant, as I would have brought a bottle. It is a cool concept, something I don't run across too often at home for nicer establishments. Wine glasses were already on the table, but they were cleared when I told them we had no wine. The menu is 3 courses, soup or salad, an entree and a desert. I had the penne with vodka sauce, my wife has the salmon and her mom had the lamb chops. Everything was very tasty and the servings were plenty, especially for lunch. The restaurant was huge and fairly empty mid day, which makes sense as I am sure it appeals mainly to business lunches. The deserts were pretty small, but that is fine, since it provides a nice sweet cap to the meal without getting too heavy. Coffee is also included.

Free parking and it was completely packed. Certainly a good sign of a nice restaurant. We arrived 10 min early but the table was delayed by the last round of patrons. The waitress was so smart to offer each of us complimentary champagne because of this. Pretty darn nice. We ordered pizzas, Panozzo (big size pizza pocket stuffed with ham, eggplants, and mozzarella), calamari, cheese, a few fettuccine, and a couple of Martini. Among those items, pizzas stood out pretty well. Not only the taste and size but also the toppings as well as the firewood aroma. Beautifully done. Highly recommended. Cool ambiance for dining with great music. Great vibe. The servers were nice and friendly. On top of typical Montreal-style small restaurant tables, this place also offers long tables to accommodate bigger groups. It certainly brings you a very enjoyable dining experience with your buddies for sure. It's such a good dining place. We had a wonderful time catch-up with friends in Laval. No wonder the parking lot was jam-packed! Haha.

Once everyone arrived and sat, the order were taken. We didn't had the same waiter, probably to make thing faster. While our waiter was friendly, he seemed rushed. He was running all over the place between table. I never saw him rest but I didn't see him catch his breath either. Something felt off. This give us a rush feeling too since he was skipping kids beverage and such. But once we asked him for the, he politely told us the options and bring them. As for the food, I'm never disappointed. I took the ravioli this time and they were very good. I also ended with the double chocolat cake which was also good. Everyone I talked to liked their meal. Craving for some pasta? It's your place. There's more then pasta here and I'm sure it's also good. Bring your wine!

While sitting outside I enjoyed the babbling fountain at the entrance and the spread out of the tables. They have attentive staff that are quick with the water and help. The menu seemed more limited than the one online. They didn't offer a table d'hôte but they did have specials. The appetizers were fine but they took long to arrive. It seems to be a common event based on other reviews. Their specialty is veal. They have it in different ways. They are ready to modify plates to your taste. We had desert and a digestif. Quite enjoyable evening. They are on the higher end of the price scale. The decor, the flavours and the friendly staff can justify it. Bon appétit

(for a few reasons) A long list of attractive, sweet and creative cocktails served in mason jars that come in two sizes for an exceptionally low price in comparison to the current average. So, if you want to have decent mixed drinks or shots and not break the bank, this is the place for you. The burgers we ordered were not only very large and original but also very well prepared. At 10:30-11:00pm the restaurant basically becomes a club... which surprised us. Long lines outside, bouncer, pat downs getting in, DJ, party lights... All of it. Despite a temporary misunderstanding with the doorman (classic) our expectations were surpassed and we had a decent time.

Am still salivating. Oh and second time I went: arancini! yep, vegan and GF!!! When you enter the resto, you will be welcome by the rich smells of Italian cuisine. The staff is dynamic. And the decor gives you something between a diner and nice Italian restaurant. So played back atmosphere, yet professional. Beautiful glassed area at the back. My mother who has no intolerances also loved her plates and said "this one remains on our dress book." Grazie Ottavio!

There were five of us dining, and we ended up ordering seven entrées because everything sounded too good to pass up. Even more telling--one person in our group isn't a pasta fan at all and was completely blown away and finished every last bite. Do not skip dessert. The crème brûlée was perfectly done, and the world-famous tiramisu absolutely lives up to the hype.

That said, the reservation system seems to make things a bit difficult for them. Even though we had a reservation and arrived right on time, we still had to wait for our table. The staff were rushing around trying to get people to pay and clear tables quickly, and we weren't the only ones waiting. Others seemed a bit upset too. The entrance area is very small and also right next to where the kitchen is and staff comes out with the dishes, so it felt a bit chaotic and cramped while waiting. Despite that, once seated, the food and service made up for it. Everything was tasty and well-prepared. I really hope they improve the flow and spacing of reservations, because the staff definitely deserve better support!.

***4.5 Stars***…read more Solid Italian restaurant in Montreal with a focused menu. 7 appetizers, 3 pastas and 3 entrees to choose from. An intimate and mostly casual atmosphere. I had a great Negroni and wife had one of the best non-alcoholic drinks ever. Mostly Italian wines by the glass. We shared the scallop crudo, buffalo mozzarella and beef carpaccio appetizers. The scallop was probably my favorite out of the 3, but the sheer size of the beef carpaccio dish would make me order it again (good to share amongst 3-4 ppl). For mains, we ordered the cavatelli with pork ragu and the lamb special. The pasta was nicely al dente which complemented well with the tangy-savory cherry tomato and olive ragu. The pear tart with white chocolate yogurt was also a good way to end the meal. Overall a great Italian option in Montreal that I would return to.

The truffle pasta was okay also and the risotto dish came with a big piece of Osso bucco, was not expecting to have a big piece of Osso bucco, I thought it would be bone off. But I can say that the creme brulee was really good The service was actually amazing, the waiter was really friendly. I had ordered an espresso martini with my dessert but they had forgotten to put khalua in it and it taste horrible, when I told the waiter about it he was doubting me on why I wanted to return the drink back but then he realized that it was the khalua that was missing in the drink, he brought me khalua in a glass so I can mix it in my drink. This place seemed to be more of a place for groups, they had private rooms. If you are celebrating a birthday party or a big get together in Laval with Italian type of food, I think it's a good choice.
