Best Italian restaurant in Quebec. A little gem that only locals know about. The food is amazing and the portions are gigantic. One pasta dish is more than enough for two people. Service is amazing and the overall mood was cozy and private. Make sure to have a reservation.
Everything was absolutely outstanding and delicious! The only minus I would say is the sound of the speakers for the table in the corner at the back was a tad too loud. Otherwise it was perfect. Excellent service too!
I’ve been to this restaurant several times, and it remains, without a doubt, the best Italian food I’ve had in Quebec City. The menu is on the smaller side, which might not cater to picky eaters—but I can’t stress this enough: if you’re willing to step outside your comfort zone, you’ll be richly rewarded. The flavors are bold, authentic, and incredibly satisfying. The atmosphere is equally impressive—it’s a cozy, intimate spot with a warm, welcoming vibe that makes every visit feel special. Highly recommended for anyone who appreciates genuine Italian cuisine in a relaxed and friendly setting.
A visiter et revisiter! Certainement Le meilleur restaurant de Quebec! Update. This is still my favorite Italian restaurant in Quebec!!! The size of the entree are big enough for two. I took the roquette salad and the carpaccio and it was delicious! Looking for a real typical Italian restaurant, this is it! I've been in Italy a couple of time and i do believe this is the most representative Italian Piemonte style in Quebec! I had the gnocchi a la creme and Mimosa eggs!
I am so glad we decided to go to Restaurant Tonino. The food was incredible, as well as the service. We had Jennie has our server, and every dish that she recommended was delicious. She was also lovely and made us feel very welcome. The atmosphere was very inviting and cosy. We will 100% be back to visit on our next trip to Quebec.
I had a beautiful supper there with my daughter. The first rate service with an excellent meal. We started off with refreshing Bellini Gelato, Prosecco, Gelato. We had grilled bread and Arancini del giorno which was delicious. I had the Gnocchi sauce gorgonzola flambes dans la meule & Short Rib. Heaven. My daughter had Pappardelle Bolognese with some adjustments. The service was impeccable on this busy evening. The place was cozy and lively with Benito crooning some Italian sernades.
The food and drinks were devine we had as appetizer the carpacio of beef and main course the mushrooms fusilloni with hazelnut and burrata and they were delicous! The service was also amazing super attentive and very helpful. It cost us 160 for two, with 2 appetizer, 3 dri ks, one share main course and one desert!! Will definitely go back when I am in Quebec city.
Went this weekend with my boyfriend and his friend for our birthdays. The food is amazing and the vibe is great. There's also a very lovely Sicilian waitor that made our night !
