Quick last minute Montreal trip: dinner at @impastomtl - amazing service and incredible food. Everything was super delicious πππ.
.
Antipasto Misto - 3 Homemade charcuteries, 1 cheese, condiments: you can't go wrong with good cured meats! These were really nicely done - not overly salty. Delicious flavours. The cheese was good too. Not too bold (which I like).
.
Polpo - Octopus, lentils, pancetta, gremolata: this octopus was grilled perfectly. Very tender! Loved the bits of pancetta π€€π€€.
.
Insalata Misticanza - Boston lettuce salad, endives, radicchio, hazelnuts: beautifully presented, and tasted super refreshing! Really loved the hazelnuts.
.
Focaccia - Homemade focaccia bread, olive oil: they had some of the fluffiest focaccia I've ever had! Delicious ππ.
.
Casarecce - Mussels, cherry tomatoes, cannellini beans, saffron: I always love a yummy seafood pasta, and this casarecce dish was absolutely delicious!
.
Gnocchi di Ricotta - Tomato & basil sauce, parmigiano reggiano: pillowy soft gnocchi with a tasty tomato based sauce! Can't go wrong ππ.
.
Papardelle Bolognese - Bolognaise sauce, porc, veal & beef, parmigiano reggiano: a classic sauce with perfectly done papardelle!
.
Costata di Manzo - Ribsteak 32oz, red wine sauce: this steak was 120$ - definitely made for sharing. Super tender and full of flavour. Perfectly cooked medium. The only minor criticism is that I kind of feel like that for 120$, it needs to have something more unique than just a steak.
.
Porchetta - Pork, endives, pear & gorgonzola, salsa verde: delicious dish! But I thought the porchetta might have been a bit too fatty for my liking. The other elements of the dish were super yummy too!
.
Rapini: good side dish that came with the steak dish.
.
Tiramisu: a classic Italian dessert - this was nice and light. Not too sweet. Not overly soaked in alcohol. Really good!

Porchetta, seriously the best I ever tasted: finished on charcoaled... just a bit crispy; my wife had pasta with morilles: incredible.
Appetizers: a plate of cold fish (bar) and a plate of pulpo. Perfection.
We ate at the bar watching staff working, looking at all the plates prepared and served.
The service was perfect: from arriving seating, wine service, etc...
It was during F1 and nothing was pushy.
