Grigio — Restaurant in Laval (administrative region)

Our experience at this so-called "Italian" restaurant was incredibly disappointing. It felt far from authentic. The restaurant was empty, yet we struggled to get the attention of our server, which was odd considering we were one of the only groups there (a party of five, including one vegan). We started with calamari and bruschetta, but the bruschetta came out covered in cheese, which wasn’t mentioned on the menu. When we asked about it, the server gave us attitude, saying we should have specified.

Four out of five of us did not enjoy our meals. One of us ordered the Marsala, but it came with an odd, mismatched sauce—brown sauce with red pasta? The Marsala sauce tasted like it came out of a packet and had been diluted. Another person in our group got chicken, which was burnt. The marinara pasta tasted off, like it was made with old garlic and packaged pre-cut garlic you buy at Costco .

Even the dessert tasted like it was prepackaged, which was disheartening as an Italian to see this labeled as "Italian food." The coffee experience was just as inconsistent. Three of us got decent coffee, but the last one received a cup so bitter that six sugars couldn’t fix it.

All in all, this was a poor experience, and we won’t be returning. If you're looking for real Italian food,...

I had went to Grigio 6 years ago and loved it! I was very excited to go back but unfortunately my experience was not the same. We were a group of 4 on a Saturday evening. First, the restaurant was so loud that we had a hard time hearing each other - it felt like a cafeteria. Our order was taken quickly and we got our ceasar salads in no time (the salads were good) but it then took over 1.5 hours to get our main dishes. The waitress said it was because the restaurant was full .. but isn't always full on a Saturday night? We finally receive our food and are excited to eat something other than bread and butter - I had the fettuccine Alfredo which I enjoyed but the rest of the table said that their food was mediocre at best. One had spaghetti bolognese, he took one bite and left the rest, saying that it was the worst tomato sauce he's ever eaten. The other two had veal parmesan with spaghetti on the side (one with tomato sauce and the other with garlic). Both said that veal was chewy and the one who had the spaghetti with sauce, did not eat it - the garlic pasta was apparently good. At the end, all we wanted to do was pay and leave. It was unfortunately a very disappointing evening and we will not...

Favourite restaurant, easy, in Laval.

This restaurant is one of my all time favourites in laval. I've come here over 30 times in my lifetime and it has never disappointed me. It's my family's go-to spot.

My favourite dish is the Scaloppine Alla Grigio. Veal, with a side of vegetables, and pasta. I usually ask for regattoni conspec as my pasta side. Absolutely delicious, the mushrooms and the veal in the Porto sauce are really good. (The picture was taken after I had already dug into it, I couldn't resist!) My sister gets the regattoni con spec as a dish and she loves it every time.

The appetizers here are also very good and popular with us. We have the calamari every time we come here, an easy 10/10, crispy and delicious. The newest one we had was the sausage, which was just pure bliss, sublime.

The desserts here too are great. I had the crème caramel and my sister had the crème brûlée, both super sweet and tasty.

Thank you so much for the impeccable...
