I've always thought that West Island didn't have any good restaurants but I was wrong!
Little Italian restaurant tucked in the Marche de l'Ouest. We ordered a entree of fried calamari and unlike most restaurants, that entree of calamari was big. The batter was light and r calamari were tender; sign that they were fresh. A lot of restaurant use the frozen calamari to cut cost, but not at La Verita. The highlight of the entree was really their homemade Marinara sauce. Nothing like I ever tasted before...I could put it on anything!
Next I ordered a veal scalpinni with mushroom sauce. It was seasoned just perfectly with a side of smashed sweet potato and asparagus.
My friend ordered tortellini with a pink sauce. I almost want to say that I preferred the tortilini as they were so delicate and yet flavourful.
My friend wanted some wine for dinner and we opted for a bottle that was reasonably priced under $40. Surprisingly, it was pretty good for that price point. The wine list has wine from all price point so it won't break your wallet.
Although food was very good, what sets his restaurant over the top was its service. As waiter Jimmy was attentive and charming...coming to check on us once in a while to make sure that we were ok. I must say that even the busboy was fantastic!
Great good with amazing service. You can tell it is a great restaurant when they have a full house on a Wednesday night and they managed to bring out an amazing quality of food and keep their service level.
Highly recommended and will be back soon!
