Restaurant La Piazzetta Sainte-Catherine

Our group ordered pizza, pasta, and some gluten free items. The ambience is cozy groovy and classy, and the service was good! However, the star of the night was lacklustre. A common thread among us was that the food was bland, lacking seasoning and salt. A bolognese dish tasted purely of tomato, with very little meat. The carbonara, though perfectly cooked, lacked richness and flavour. Finally, the pizzas were both confusing and disappointing. The crusts are not the dough one might expect but rather a large pita bread. The result is an unfulfilling pizza cracker. For the price, many of us expressed feeling hungry even though we had had entrees as well as our main dishes, but we were unwilling to buy more. The portions are rather small. Also for some reason they kept increasing the music volume as the night got quieter which was headache-enducing. I must stress that the staff were wonderful and the service was good. I also commend their gluten free menu and their care to provide options for people with Celiac’s.

There is a gluten free menu, and the service was great. The crust for the gluten free pizza (cheese and pepperoni) was thick.

We were desperate for a restaurant that offered gluten free options. The meal was delicious, service was impeccable, and the atmosphere was very laid back.
