Review from Tina C.

If you're looking to woo someone on romantic date, this is the spot.
Everything here is perfection, from the service to the food to the decor (well, from my two visits).
On our latest visit, our coats were taken up arrival, and when seated, we were served a small plate a cured meats, cheese, and bruschetta. I had the table d'hôte, and ordered the buffalo mozzarella, tomato and prosciutto salad. The prosciutto was nicely crisped and set atop the tomatoes and cheese.. yum! I also had the risotto with shrimp and crab - it was creamy and flavourful (my boyfriend had the steak and lobster tail). Everything was delicious! For dessert, we had the cannoli/creme brule duo - I loved the combination of creamy creme brule and crisp cannoli!
The only downside is being automatically served bottled water that you didn't ask for, and being charged $9 a bottle. Other than that, highly recommend. -

Excellent.
First thing I noticed was how incredibly beautiful the interior was. I was really tempted to take pictures of it... my uncle advised against it.
It's been awhile since my visit, so I'm not sure how much I remember. My entree was a mushroom risotto - it was very nice. I don't remember what my appetizer was, but I remember really liking it.
Sorry, my review isn't very helpful because it's been so long! But I remember, at the very least, that it was exceptional, and I look forward to visiting again (and writing a decent review) the next time I am in Montreal! -

Seeing that I'm not a fan of Italian food [I know, crazy]--this place was A+.
The place was empty and the atmosphere was a little bleak but the waiter was attentive and the food was excellent.
I ordered an 'off-menu' item: risotto with porcinis and truffles: perfect, perfect.
My lovely date had something similar to pasta carbonara, except it wasn't as cream heavy.
The wine list was bank...most wines were well over $60-70.
Overall, a good meal and I'd probably come back if I was in Montreal--and needing an Italian fix. -

The appetizer consisted of an elaborate assortment of true delicacies:
shrimp rolled in prosciutto (unusual to me, and I was particularly curious about the mix of the ham and shrimps...but it turned out as a refreshing interesting mix that I did enjoy), the scallops were delicious and nicely cooked. So did the piece of tuna that completed that appetizer (perfect flavors, texture).
Main course was the Veal Osso Buco: It had the exact tangy, rich depth of flavor that I expect from a perfectly executed Osso Bucco. The meat was superbly tender and impeccably seasoned.
Excellent High end Italian fine cuisine experience! -

I love this restaurant! I love the Brownstone building, two levels of dining. Staff is amazingly friendly, and very helpful. Dined here one night it was so crowded, they seated us upstairs in a closed section so we could relax and eat. A real family feel to this place, the entrees are superb (they even give you free chef tastings) and the tiramisu is the best I had ever tasted. Check out the self cleaning toilet seats in the bathroom. This place is a real treat!

Holy wow! Ok... I had spent a good week wining and dining in Montreal and our concierge recommended this place for a great Italian meal. Though I found that most of their dishes were not truly authentic (being Italian and all), I was still impressed by their presentation and how fresh the food tasted. Their tomato and mozzarella salad was to die for! It tasted as if the tomato was picked right off the vine and their buffalo mozzarella nearly melted in my mouth, bursting with fresh flavor. I had their stuffed shrimp with crab on top of risotto for my main course. The risotto was a tad bit undercooked but the shrimp was exquisite in flavor which completely made up for that minor detail.
The waitstaff was superb. Allowing us to enjoy every course of the meal and keeping our wine glasses filled (you will be quite intimidated by their wine list... bottles ranging from $45- $1000), they were attentive and friendly.
The atmosphere was elegant and romantic (bring your date here!!!). We went on a Friday night and were surprised that the restaurant wasn't packed at all. But in my opinion, I would rather come when there's less people to fight for a table.
Overall, my experience here was great and I would most definitely eat here the next time I'm in town!
