Wanted to try their sandwiches for a long time. Its a cold sandwiche, maybe a good option for a fast lunch break

Great first experience yesterday night. Super service and food selection. Cozy spot with a good vibe.

La nourriture était excellente, les portions généreuses, le vin délicieux et abordable.
Petit bémol, le service était froid et la serveuse était très peu chaleureuse. J'y retournerais en espérant avoir un meilleur accueil.

Food is amazing but there's not many tables. Even with a reservation we were forced to sit at the bar.

Beautiful place, good food. Great service.
I ate here with 2 italians friends, they approved the place too.

Came here multiple times and still didn’t learn to make a reservation, this place gets busy! I usually take the sandwiches which are divine, love their coffee too, and most recently tried their pasta. I’m not a tomato sauce girl, but I took the special that night which was a calamari tomato sauce pasta and it was top. The pasta itself was shaped as calamari and mixed in with actual squid and mussels, and tasted so homemade. Also had the pesto pasta. Will be back to try more on the menu, and the desserts! Only cons: gets really loud after 6: 30pm

It’s not often that I ask for a waitress’ name, but this time was different. I couldn’t help but remember the exceptional service provided by Neïla (I hope I spelled it correctly). She was funny without being overbearing, attentive without being intrusive, and provided excellent advice when it came to choosing our menu. I highly recommend this restaurant to my friends and hope they have the pleasure of being served by Neïla.

I went with two friends because apparently all Canadians living in griffintown think this is the best place in MTL for an happy hour italian style so we gave it a try.
I’ll be short, we ordered a simple spritz and charcuterie.
Never seen in my life a spritz so small (in the wrong glass btw) 14$ for that is a joke And even the olive inside was way too much salty, seriously even the olive was inedible. One of the worst quality/price spritz we’ve ever had. Charcuterie was stuff bought from the grocery store soaked in oil.
The location is nothing special, you have a view on a typical griffintown construction site and some grey condos.terrible, first and last time. Some will think we are overreacting because we are Italian but I don’t care, there are many other great places with Italian food in MTL but this is not, no offense

I've had every sandwich on the menu and they are all incredible. The coffee is by far the best in the area. Staff is friendly. It''s always a good vibe when I go. Check it out!

There’s usually a lineup if you go on the weekend, and can be a little disorganized for seating according to who came first. They did open a take-out counter so you can grab a coffee or drink while waiting though. The food is great, and to try everything it’s a good idea to go with a group and just share everything. Good for groups of 4-6 people.

Le crudo di branzino vaut le détour. Il est absolument incroyable! Un petit plus; leur offre de vin super intéressante. Clairement un endroit à découvrir pour y revenir.
28 March 2023 15:46
Awesome! Went for lunch with my daughter and was not disappointed Had a fun cocktail and shared an appetizer/salad /sandwich and that was perfect! Loved the staff and the music… felt like dancing along with the waitresses Will be our go to place now that my daughter lives a block away
26 March 2023 7:01
Nice Italian restaurant, although not so many choices for main dishes. Recommend the barrada
21 March 2023 16:09
Belle ambiance et belle présentation des plats! Par ailleurs, musique forte et saveur des plats +/- bonne.
07 March 2023 9:09
Ordered antipasti, salad, pasta. Waiter brought the pasta FIRST followed 15 mins later by antipasti and salad. N’importe quoi. Service inattentive and begrudging. Most miserly wine pour I’ve seen in a long while. Left feeling crestfallen an ill.
07 January 2023 18:25
Pâtes du moment: pâtes fraîches, bien assaisonnés, recettes originales mais pas beaucoup d'options (incite par contre les clients de revenir donc bonne tactique!)

Bass Crudo: recommendation de notre barmaid, ça n'a peut-être pas l'air de grand chose mais nous avons vraiment apprécié le goût (pas trop salé, sauce bien équilibrée avec l'huile), bref super!

Service: notre barmaid était super fine et sympathique, pas facile d'aimer son travail en restauration et pourtant elle y arrive! Chapeau!

Ambiance: mon pauvre dos aurait aimer du support sur les sièges sinon c'était un peu bruyant et pourrait être un peu plus grand

100% à essayer!
03 January 2023 9:10
The food was delicious, we ordered the crudo, squash spaghetti, caesar salad, burratta, and tiramisu. The ambiance and staff were lovely, would have otherwise given a 5 star but our second course took a very long time to come and we had to remind the staff (seems like the kitchen forgot).
01 January 2023 7:32
We arrived on Sunday night at 5pm. The place was not busy at all. Once they saw we were with our child, they made every excuse not to have us eat there. They said they had reservation starting at 6: 45pm. We said that gives us plenty of time to eat and leave before 6: 45pm. They still refused to seat us. Obviously this place is not family friendly. It is too bad because I used to go often but never again. You lost a customer for life.
01 January 2023 4:55
Stopped by for lunch around 11: 15 and was seated right away. The place quickly filled up before noon on a Wednesday. Service was friendly and efficient. The food was delicious and fresh. Highly recommend the burrata served with focaccia! Pasta was good but nothing outstanding.
23 December 2022 13:33
Went for lunch twice and coffee once, amazing homemade pasta, great coffee, good vibe. Staff is caring. The terrasse in the summer is a nice addition. Need to go back for dinner
08 December 2022 23:22
Great place. Friendly staff. Busy busy busy and for good reason. Food is great. Cocktail menu is fun, and the bartender's love adding things to their menu, including some interesting imported stuff. Best make a reservation but otherwise wait wasn't too long when I went
08 December 2022 5:50
A very limited food menu, this place has an open-concept kitchen with everything being made in front of you.
One can ask to sit by the bar to get a better visual of the dishes being prepared.
This place is always crowded and one might have to wait a little before being seated. The outdoor seating option is great too.
Service is slow.
Each of the dishes were delicious and worth going back for! Portion sizes are small, especially for the pasta dishes.
04 December 2022 1:07
Such a great spot, amazing vibe. Food extra, music on point, Cocktails right on. BUT Rose, JC, Simla, Samara, Jenna, etc. Gems good job guys on making this place full of positive energy.
27 November 2022 20:54
At least the focaccia and tiramisu secures a solid start and finish for future visits. The bass crudo was completely drowned by the aioli and bomba purée, while the lemon juice and prosecco were barely noticeable.
Although the bass was reduced to mere texture, the excess sauce was perfectly picked up by the focaccia.

Dinner service was excruciatingly slow. While our waiter was attentive and concerned throughout the night, and the kitchen appeared to be moving effectively, I wonder whether the dining space to work space ratio is simply to large.

Essentially - antipasto plate with focaccia and tiramisu. Skeptically ordered the shank and the sentiment has now propagated to the rest of the meats and fish. Just not tender and succulent enough.

Lunch spot.
15 November 2022 20:55
Lovely place, the inside is very stylish, same for the waiters and waitresses but the food was definitely far too salty (probably to make you drink more), and the portions were very underwhelming for the price. It's not pricey but it's just not worth it. But presentation was very on point both for the food and general decor. The music choice was decent too.
Side note the sandwich had a very interesting combination of sweet and salty, so that was decent.
08 November 2022 2:04
Our waiter was Joseph and was fantastic. We shared a delicious salad. Entrees were Bolognese and pork chop. Both superb. We found out about this place while visiting little Italy. Went into place for Expresso and the person who served us gave us the recommendation.

Petit resto de quartier sympa à la limite de Griffintown et du vieux Montréal. Tout est très savoureux. L'ambiance est très agréable. C'est vivant et dynamique. Le personnel jeune et courtois. J'ai bien aimé et recommande.
19 August 2022 5:02
Delicious food. Piatto antipasto was excellent. The bolognese was perfect and we loved the vibe!
18 August 2022 16:42
Bon spot pour se régaler de délicieux plats simples. Bons choix à boire. Service sympathique. La place est toujours bondée, soyez patients, ça vaut la peine.
12 August 2022 5:22
Je viens a ce restaurant régulièrement depuis plus de 1 ans, ce soir j’avais un client de Toronto et vu que le restaurant ne prend pas de réservation j’arrive très tot (5: 30). Il y a plein de place mais on me refuse de prendre une table si nous sommes seulement 2 personnes. La terrasse et à l’intérieur il y a plein de table de libre et celle déjà prises, plein de gens sont juste 2 personnes… Pas de la faute de la serveuse mais le gérant était catégorique de ne pas me donner de place, malheureusement vous venez de perdre un client régulier et bien plus jamais je vais risquer d’amener des clients pour me faire retourner de bord! Horrible service
07 August 2022 13:48
Love this restaurant and it's ambient! Food is on point and customer service is great! The portions of the salads in the menu are small for the price so I don't recommend taking that but otherwise great.
07 August 2022 4:56
Delicious food and friendly staff. Just don't expect it to be a fast experience though. They were also out of half the menu by ~9pm.
05 July 2022 4:08
This is an amazing spot with really great energy. Looks like they have a cute patio which appeared to be dog friendly.

We had dinner here on our last night in Montreal. It was a Sunday evening and they had a set menu. The food was fantastic, the service even better. In fact, this is the best service we had at any establishment during our whole trip to Montreal.

Overall good value for the set menu Sunday nights. Highly recommend, will definitely return next time I'm in Montreal!

Chaque visite me confirme que ce lieu est unique à Griffintown: accueil chaleureuse, excellentes boissons à base d’espresso et plats. Tous les employés vous saluent à votre entrée et à votre départ. Une belle ambiance joviale et chaleureuse y règne. J’y retourne certainement en soirée pour essayer leur cocktails et plats entre amis ou avec mon amoureux!
03 January 2020 20:50
Très belle adresse. Saveurs goûteuses et raffinées. Le jus d’orange avec la note de gingembre quelle belle idée! Le pain doré croustillant savoureux et parfumé de pistache. Très belle expérience. Le service est souriant et agréable.

Corner cafe, Italian inspired, cavola talda style: cold cuts, sandwiches, focaccia. Good selection of wines and great, savoury coffee
29 December 2019 23:01
Great new spot for the neighbourhood. They always have a fun and casual ambience going on with great staff. Try the delicious focaccia sandwiches and great coffee. I try to go often as they're always refreshing the menu with something new to try!
24 December 2019 3:18
Great spot for coffee or food. A comfortable environment and amazing staff always make this place a great resto to visit.
06 December 2019 12:46
Amazing restaurant and great service. Seating at the bar is a whole new experience. A little piece of Italy in Montreal.
05 December 2019 22:33
Great service and the food is great as well, the menu is a little small but that's to be expected considering it's a café. Highly recommend the sandwiches made on fresh focaccia or the arancini carbonara.
05 December 2019 2:03
Great place. Nice ambience and good food. Hidden away from the higher traffic area, just around the corner, but always invitingly busy.
30 November 2019 19:34
First of all, everyone is greeted with “Buonasera” which is usually a solid preamble to a fantastic evening and every single table has a deck of Italian cards on it, really nice touch. Food was top, every single dish our group had was delicious-especially the heirloom tomatoes.

Equally, you can’t ask for a more fun gang working this place. We showed up with no reservation, 6 people, no problem. They hooked us up with a cozy table and then the food just started coming in waves.

Endorse. Endorse. Endorse.

Vito grazie!

Loved the service, coffee, and focaccia. The mains unfortunately were lackluster and missing salt. I will be back though keep doing what you do. Dessert was amazing though.

Cette nouvelle adresse ayant comme destination café - nourriture - bar est vraiment un super ajout à Griffintown!

J'étais accompagnée et tout le monde sont d'accord pour dire que le repas était excellent.

Les pâtes fraîches, le pain à Sandwich, tout était parfait.
Les portions ne sont pas très grandes, mais plutôt la portion parfaite pour être rassasié sans se sentir lourd.
Il reste juste assez de place pour une petite sucrerie.
J'avais déjà goûté à leurs cannolis faits maison et ils sont à tomber par terre.

Le personnel est très chaleureux et les propriétaires sont assurément des passionnés.

La musique change selon le moment de la journée et le DJ à fait une excellente sélection.

L'endroit nous offre la possibilité de se poser tranquillement dans la vie effrénée du centre ville.

Pour un café ou une viennoiserie sur le pouce ou encore pour prendre le temps de se poser pour un repas, je recommande cette adresse sans hésiter.
17 November 2019 3:21
Lorsque je me retrouve dans Griffintown ou St-Henri, je fais un long détour pour me retrouver chez Manu Cornuto parce que leurs sandwich sont savoureux. À la presse, je prend le sandwich pour emporter et leur sac de papier est un bon choix écologique.
12 November 2019 12:26
Great service, very welcoming staff. Tasty food. THAT fluffy focaccia with ricotta and apricot confiture is dreamy.
28 October 2019 13:50
I'm constantly amazed at the incredible quality of the food. I had a pesto pasta special and it was some of the best pesto I've ever had. The home made breads are to die for, and they selection of pastries is truly amazing. I absolutely love their bombolonis. They're super friendly, on top of it. A spectacular experience that I can't recommend enough.
17 October 2019 10:07
Excellent food, ambiance, and service. Quite lively, plates are delicious, and staff is knowledgeable and unpretentious. Part of a great day in Griffintown.
08 October 2019 5:58
New spot with a lot of potential.

We stopped there for a late lunch and were pleasantly surprised. Not only its very different than other cafes and restaurants in the city but the food was authentic, delicious and different.

We had the foccaccia with riccotta and truffle honey (whats not to love!), cantaloupe with blue cheese and solumi salad, mixed mushrooms and meat sandwich. Meat in the sandwich was freshly cut and melted in your mouth.

Plus the place is really cute and nicely decorated. You feel like you got invited to your cool Italian friends condo.

Cant wait for them to be opened at night!
