The food and drinks were delicious! The service was slow though, but maybe due to the fact there was only 1 or 2 waiters tending everyone. Drinks arrived after 15 minutes and food was around 30 minutes. Ambience was nice. The patio is cute.

The food was outstanding, and our table was on the patio, so it was great to be outside and enjoy the atmosphere. Our drinks and appetizers came very quickly, but our main meal took some time to come as the restaurant got busier. Overall, it is a great restaurant!

The food was amazing, however the service was awful. We were seated and not given a menu or a drink for at least 5 min… two other parties were seated and served before us. There was no toilet paper in the bathroom, when I told a staff about it. They rolled their eyes at me. I then had ask twice more for toilet paper before they finally brought a roll. We then watched the staff clear and service three other tables before they looked towards our table. We had empty drinks and were done our food. They did not offer us a box for our leftovers. They just brought the bill. Sub par service of amazing food!!

Very friendly waiter. Not at all crowded when we were there and can’t understand why as it was probably one of the best meals of my life! My arugula salad with green olives, yellow and red cherry tomatoes and figs was inspired and the lasagne was THE best I’ve ever had, and I know lasagne!! Melt in your mouth homemade pasta and such flavor!! Huge portions also. Took half back to hotel and ate it re-heated for breakfast because there was no way I was throwing that out!! Husband also enjoyed his chicken Parmesan. Ceaser salad was also “best ever”. Enjoyed my Amalfati cocktail and glad of Sangiovese. Very reasonable prices, especially for top notch quality. Allow time as food prep like this takes time but it’s worth it. Actually literally applauded the kitchen staff at one point after first few bites of that lasagne!! Winner winner.

We had a really great experience at this restaurant! It was very quiet on a Saturday night and was close to the water. Wanting to customize our experience, we got bread for the table and a customized pasta. Personally, I got the fettuccine with rosse sauce and breaded chicken, and it was delicious! Highly recommend this restaurant.

I do not recommend at all. The place was empty and for a good reason. They advertised gluten free pasta on their menu and online, they didn't have it which meant I ended up with a green house salad that was so overpriced! For an Italian restaurant they were playing early 2000's hip hop music which was so incredibly strange. Never thought I'd be eating Italian with "it's getting hot in here" playing in the background. The service was awful, so bad that we ordered our drinks and instead of getting them our server just stood around talking to the other server and chilling. I called him over and had to ask him if we could get our drinks, then he went to actually go make them. There were only 6 people in the whole restaurants, we were his only table! He was just in no rush. He brought out our food and asked if we needed anything else and we had to remind him that my friends had also ordered bread which he never brought. I think by the end he could tell he were so annoyed with the service and food, he offered complimentary shots to us to make up for it. It was a kind gesture but the damage was already done. They ruined our final dinner in Montreal for our girls trip. Save your money and go somewhere else!

My husband and I were out celebrating our anniversary. We were disappointed with the food. The sauce tasted as if it came out of a can. We ordered different dishes and when we tasted each others, there was no difference in the flavour.

All the food was served at room temperature , including my osso bucco, or lukewarm at best. What’s more, the cold osso bucco, costing close to $40, was completely flavourless, as if it was boiled in nothing but water. The pre-made lasagna was the size of something from a kid’s menu, with meagre amount of meat and non-existent béchamel. We had to go to uniburger around the corner for a combo to make up for the small portions of pasta at Aqua E Farina. Only one server was serving the entire restaurant at the time, so service was understandably slow at times. Can’t say the food or service was horrible, but the restaurant certainly excels in mediocrity.
