    Excellente nourriture . Du début à la fin, donc, du cocktail au café, ce fût parfait. Excellent service incluant la connaissance des mets et du vin. Et comment expliquer la belle surprise du Chef qui vient chanter à l'occasion. Soirée parfaite !

    We had a wonderful time, but the waitstaff seemed a bit rushed. The food was excellent (best arancini I have ever had); portions were generous. Davide treated the restaurant to his deep and resonant voice - it was such a pleasure. My only complaint is that I mentioned on my reservation that our party of three would be celebrating a birthday, and I mentioned this again in person to our waitress; sadly, there was no recognition of my friend’s birthday. Oh well. Overall, a memorable evening. Thank you so much!

Et la nourriture était était excellente et de bonne quantité. Et en plus nous avons eu droit à un numéro d’opéra par le chef cuisinier! Superbe soirée

    Seriously I used to love this place but the quality and quantity dropped a lot recently + the price went up a lot. 28$ for 6 raviolis and "standard" sauce 19$ for 5 tiny accras de morue Value/Price is not worth it anymore.

    It was an incredible night. Etienne has spoiled us and recomended an excellent raviolis plates. The owner , Davide, who also is the chef, not only has prepared an excellent pasta, he also is a tenor singer. He has delighted us with his voice. Incredible.

    We love this place. We drive up 2 hours from Vermont just to eat here. It is our favorite restaurant. Davide Bazzali is commiitted to providing everyone a good experience, and his staff is equally committed. Everything is delicios, so We can’t pick favorites, although we are quite fond of the arancini and the ravioli. And fir a special treat PastaOpera nite is something else!

    Tout était parfait. Tous les plats étaient savoureux. Le chef Bazzali est venu nous voir au début du repas. Il nous a chanté des airs d’opéra. J’ai rarement eu un serveur qui était aussi souriant, aimable et attentionné. Nous étions 5 et tous nous allons recommander le restaurant à notre entourage. C’est certain que nous allons y revenir. Une belle découverte. Un pur bonheur.

    C'était un lundi donc quand-même assez calme. Le décors est très original et chaleureux. On avait la musique juste au dessus de nous donc pas toujours facile pour les conversations mais ds l'ensemble c'était topissime!!! Nous y retournerons quand le chanteur y sera. Tout était délicieux et portions généreuses.

    We really enjoyed that this restaurant offers real vegan options on the menu (not just a salad or french fries!). The vegan pasta bolognese and vegan pizza were very good. The chickpea croquettes as appetizers were excellent. Dessert was delicious, we took the almond & orange cake with caramelized chocolate-coconut milk. Plus, the chef came out during the evening to sing a short opera excerpt. The whole dining experience was lovely.

    Nous avons adoré notre souper au restaurant Il Bazzali. L’ambiance est chaleureuse, le service impeccable et extraordinaire et la nourriture excellente. Le restaurant est fait de façon à offrir de l’intimité aux tables et le niveau sonore est bas, sauf lorsque le chef chante (mais nous n’étions pas pour nous en plaindre), ce qui le rend idéal pour un souper en amoureux. Il est certain que c’est un peu dispendieux, mais la qualité de la nourriture et du service le justifie. C’est simplement c’est un restaurant où nous n’irons pas toutes les semaines, mais lorsque nous aurons envie de passer une agréable soirée en tête à tête, c’est une place où nous retournerons.

    Very nice, cozy, and full restaurant late on a Saturday night in February. Had Ciabatta bread and Arancini to start. We mixed and matched a vegetable-laden Gnocchi plate and Ravioli Toscana, each outstanding on its own. Owner and Chef Davide performed a song before everybody and has an incredible voice! He came over to chat with us and other customers and was genuinely appreciative of our business. We each finished with tiramisu (served in a mason jar) and cappuccino. Every course was excellent and we hope to come back for one of the opera nights if the one song performance was any indication of things to come!
