Excellent tasting menu with each dish described by the chefs who are preparing. Fun lively atmosphere. A seat at the kitchen bar gives you a view of the chefs working. Loved it, and loved Raffi’s moody 90’s alternative music that night for the background (each time is different depending on which chef picks).

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!

The experience was very good. The staff is just amazing. We were with another couple and had a lot of trouble earring what the others said. The food was good but I would not have the veal again. It was chewy. The presentation was excellent. The temperature in the restaurant was quite warm. Overall, it was a good experience.
