"This Italian spot tucked between Griffintown condo towers buzzes with activity day and night, seven days a week, thanks to a devoted following. Stepping inside, you’ll understand why: The spritzes flow freely, the energy is lively and carefree, and the food is just that good. For dinner, don’t miss the lemony branzino crudo with pine nuts and a glorious bomba puree, the Caesar salad with crispy pancetta and taralli breadcrumbs, or the pesto bucatini, a classic brought to new heights. During the day, it’s all about the Italian schiacciate sandwiches: fluffy focaccia stuffed with cured meats and ingredients like truffle honey and artichoke spread." - Valerie Silva
