Decided to try this place out with my girlfriend last week, I played it safe and had Spaghetti Bolognese she had The Penne with David sauce. I found my Bolognes very bland with barely any ground beef in the meat sauce. The pasta also seemed like it was cooked 2 hours ealier. Overall, after compensating with lots of grated cheese it was edible but nothing spectacular in anyway at all. While I was eating I noticed my girlfriend struggling to enjoy her plate, Oh boy!. I asked her what's wrong and she politely said that maybe she wasn't hungry enough. I then tried her Penne and the first thought that crossed my mind was how on earth can a place that specializes in pasta make such a disgusting dish. Each piece of Penne pasta tasted as though it was 5 minutes shy of al dente, in other words it was like chewing on a dehydrated finger..gross. The sauce was like water and flour, nothing more. All to say, the highlight of our meal was the Caeser salad and the wine. It's really a shame because for a very clean, spotless restaurant that serves primarily pasta, their pasta was no better than you'd get at some random burger joint only that the burger joint pasta might actually be more enjoyable.

Read moreWent with friends. Ate in. Order food at counter and bring your food to your seat that you chose. Ordered a trio with a drink, got a Ceasar salad - great dressing (was surprised). Ordered the Daniella sauce with cheese tortellini-was great! Huge portions, came with bread and butter. Plates were plastic, utensils were metal. It was after lunch hour so it wasn’t busy when we went. Staff were friendly and quick with service. My friend ordered a spicy rose sauce with fettuccini- the noodles were very soft - zero texture so overcooked and the sauce was subpar- the pancetta were more like crumbs in the sauce. My other friend got gnocchi (she liked it- I’m not a fan of gnocchi so I didn’t like it) with a garlic oil sauce- it smelled great but tasted ok. This is all preference, obviously I loved what I chose. You can pick the type of noodle you want and the sauce to pair it with! Prices are good, costs me $25 for a huge plate of pasta, bread, butter, a drink and a good portion of salad. Without the combo it would have been about $16 (pasta and bread). Would come here again, quick friendly service, clean environment, quiet, good...
Read moreThis is an insult to italien food wow I was speechless when I tasted the food I had the Alfredo pasta disgusting the sauce was watery & no taste the sauce that you get in a jar from Classico or president choice from grocery stores tastes better and the aranchini were taken out from freezer, fried and then put in the microwave and served I saw the guy doing this I couldn’t believe this .you can put a picture of a chef on your web page in the contact but I don’t know what chef prepared this food but they should burn his diploma. I would compare this food to italien fast food McDonald’s and can't believe West Island community eating this and believing that this is what Italian food suppose to taste. WOW !!!!! Gordan Ramsey would run out so fast of this restaurant he’d probably go through the door. I can cook bette Italian food and I don’t have chef degree and I’m italien!!! I spent $65.00 dollars and the best part of the meal was the bread and butter and soft drink to wash everything down. Don’t waste your money go to McDonald’s or Belle province you’ll be more satisfied your luck I can’t give...
