What to Order
Fiorentina Steak
A substantial, dry-aged steak, often served rare or medium-rare, celebrated for its incredible crunch and deep flavor.
"A 50oz Fiorentina, cooked to absolute perfection. No snowstorms. No mountain climbing. No suffering required. Just made a reservation, showed up, and was handed the best steak I’ve ever had in my life."
Michael Di Re
Homemade Pasta
Freshly made pasta, often with a firmer texture, praised for its authentic taste and satisfying quality.
"The pasta is home made and I really enjoyed it the way it was presented to me. It didn’t bloat me up like other pasta. My favourite was the pesto with FRESH anchovies"
Michael S
Citrus Tiramisu
A delightful twist on the classic Italian dessert, offering a refreshing citrus note.
"Dessert: we had the citrus tiramisu and homemade espresso gelato. Tiramisu was excellent, thought the gelato was a little too sweet."
Michael S
Homemade Gelato
Freshly made ice cream, often served with a crisp waffle, known for its creamy and rich texture.
"To finish, we had ice cream served with a crisp waffle tucked in. It was incredibly delicious creamy, rich, and satisfying."
Shaun
Fiori di Zucca (Zucchini Flowers)
Delicate zucchini flowers filled with ricotta, presented as a light, crisp, and fresh appetizer.
"We started with the Fiori di zucca zucchini flowers filled with ricotta. The dish was light, subtly crisp, fresh, and beautifully presented."

Inside Scoop
- Be prepared for your steak to be served rare or medium-rare, as the owner believes these are the only two ways to properly enjoy their 50-day aged Quebec meat.
- The restaurant can be quite noisy and tables are close together, so it might not be ideal for a private conversation.
- There is no paper menu; you'll need to consult it online or listen to the server's explanation.
- The owner, Karine, is known for her attentive service and passion for authentic Italian cuisine.
- Portions can be on the smaller side for some dishes, and the prices are considered high by a few reviewers.
