| - I wanted to come here on a Sunday since it's my only day off. Unfortunately I didn't find out until later that day that they are actually closed on Sundays . So I went the next day, I was really craving pasta and I've heard good things about this place.
The employees were very welcoming and nice. Our seats were facing the window and the street of Sherbrooke. They have a little boutique inside that sells Italian goods.
For starters, we ordered suppli do riso(risotto balls with mozzarella and tomato sauce $8). These were delicious, the mozzarella was perfectly melted and the tomato sauce completed the dish. For our main dishes, my boyfriend ordered the spek(ham) and porcini fettucine ($22) and I ordered the gnocchi with the Norcina sauce (black truffle, sausage, white wine, cream $23). I tried both hehe. I thought the spek and porcini sauce was alright, nothing special. I liked my dish better, the Norcina sauce was very mouthwatering and delightful! Both dishes were very heavy and we were not able to finish them. The waiter nicely packed them for us. For dessert, we had the tiramisu which cost $7. The tiramisu was decent, not too sweet. Overall our bill came up to $80 with the tip and the taxes.
To conclude, price-wise I think it's a little overpriced. The food is good but I wasn't amazed. The service on the other hand was on point, our waiter was very attentive and fast. Would I go back ? Maybe if I was around the area.
