La Squadra - Gatineau, Quebec

Very friendly service, nice place... not so good food. Shrimps and scallops were way overcooked, like chewy overcooked. And everything was too salty. Very disappointed and will not be going back.

Overall. We enjoyed going out for dinner here. The atmosphere is nice and decor is elegant and tasteful. I love when expectations are surpassed by restaurants. The two appetizers were delicious. The meatballs were soft, juicy and cooked to perfection. The Arancini balls were tasty as well with the ... sauces that come with them. The main course was Pollo Osceno. It was slightly disappointing and honestly not worth mentioning. I would still recommend this place but stick to the appetizers. Read more

We love Italian food and this is one of the best Italian restaurants we have ever been to. The service was great and they played a clarinet on Thursday night which made the wonderful ambience. The food is really amazing, strongly recommend: veal piccata; octopus and stuffed quail - this ... restaurant is really a hidden gem and the price is actually reasonable for what you experience.

We went here for our Anniversary. We walked in and we were greeted at the door. They sat us in the cool side booths. We started off with White wine and Red wine. Then, we had 2 appetizers: Bruschetta and Arancini. They were delicious. For the entree, I had the Duck confit ... cannelloni with a salad. I got my meal and it was the perfect size. While, we were eating a saxophonist was playing in the restaurant. It was a nice ambience. We would definitely come back! The staff were super friendly. The meals are worth the price. We had a great experience! Read more

The restaurant was surprising. I mean, Google recommends it to me regularly, but I dismiss it because it just doesn’t seem like the kind of neighbourhood or general location that would have the kind of restaurant that the reviews and photos promise. This time I gave in because it seemed ... like the best option in the area of the activities planned for the evening. The moment we walked in, I was awed by the atmosphere. Very chic. And we hadn’t been there five minutes before the waitress offered to send their sommelier over to help with the wine selection. Shortly after that, I went to wash my hands. Even the bathroom was fancy. There were like six different kinds of fancy hand soap to choose from. The service was impeccable. The food was outstanding. It made me sad that we were the only ones there in the entire place, because this is a serious dining experience, and I’d hate to see this place go out of business. Read more
