| - We have been to this restaurant more than any other restaurant in all of Montreal. In fact, since discovering this gem, we find ourselves inviting friends and family to join us here for dinner. And if it is summer and a beautiful day in Montreal, chances are you will find us on the patio, sipping cocktails and eating alfresco. But I confess, we did not discover this place on our own. No, our first time here was thanks to our dear friend from Tuscany who invited us here for dinner one evening several years ago. He said, and I quote, ''this is the best pizza outside of Tuscany.'' The guy knows his pizza so who were we to dispute that?! Not only is the pizza molto authentica and comes out of an impressive brick oven, the calamari is so good that one order is never enough for the table.
Having said that, I must agree with some of the other reviewers who have questioned the huge flat-screen TVs on the wall. I can't stand TVs in restaurants! I find them to be nothing short of disruptive and distasteful. Leave the TVs to sports bars! Restaurants should rely on pleasant music and artwork to help create an inviting atmosphere. Also, it is in great part because of the TVs that we prefer to sit outside when the weather permits.
