Located in Pierrefonds, Quebec, Vivaldi serves authentic Italian cuisine in an elegant atmosphere. Every menu item is prepared with high quality ingredients including handmade pasta, pure olive oil, fresh mozzarella and the freshest meats and produce available. Vivaldi has a full bar featuring an extensive wine selection by the glass.

Start out with an appetizer to share at Vivaldi such as the fried calamari or the bruschetta. Choose from classic Italian favorites such as the grilled chicken parmesan, the scallops with pesto or the linguine primavera.

We are in MTL for a conference. Headed to Quattro because of their GF options. We had the BEST time. Restaurant was surprisingly not busy, service was wonderful (friendly, accommodating, prompt), and the food was delicious! Overall a great experience.

As always we enjoy the restaurant and is our highlight when we are in Montreal. The menu offers unique dishes without compromising excellence and consistency. We were spoiled with a standout service experience by our server, we decided to sit at the bar ( first time we did this ) and our server was attentive, curious when needed without being overbearing, a professional on all levels (he is from Corsica) made our dinner that more enjoyable.

Magog

About the restaurant

Typical Italian cuisine, family atmosphere, dishes to share... The concept of the restaurant was inspired by many voyages to Italy. The experience offered illustrates the conviviality and generosity of Italy, all at an affordable price.
Napolitan pizzas, pasta, shareable appetizers: prime ingredients selected and showcased for their quality. A list of Italian wines and a large selection of draft and bottled beers are offered.
Owner, Alexandra Verret, emphasized a modern and warm decor characterizing the great Italian trattorias. Guests will be privileged to eat while witnessing the confection and the cooking of pizza at the pizzaiole counter.
Alessa Trattoria was created and designed for family meals and gatherings with friends. In short, it's a place for any occasion including the viewing of televised sporting events!

Lovely little gem in Magog. The food was delicious, the service excellent and the decor very modern. It was a bit noisy but to be expected when you have a full house on a a Friday night, which I assume is good thing. We will certainly make a visit there again should we be in the area.
