Restaurant: I Latini

I Latini is an Italian restaurant at Place Sainte-Catherine - one of the few non-fish restaurants in the area. The place is not super cozy, though, especially if you sit in the back of the restaurant. Although you have a view into the kitchen, the bright lights coming from there kind of spoils the candle light atmosphere. Don't accept a table in the back if you go there. On the other hand, sitting up front on a cold day may not be for people with chilly feet either. However, service is really friendly and helpful! The restaurant offers an amuse, which in our case has been quite delicious, so expectations are high from the start. As for the food, it is good but not heavenly - you will not start singing opera out of euphoria. However, you have to give a plus for not having one of those "thirteen in a dozen" Italian menus. It is definitely not a "Garfield wants lasagna" pasta craving restaurant, such as many family style Italian places, so choose to visit when you want to eat your Italian food with style rather than diving into a heart warming bowl of pasta.

I Latini is a place worth visiting if you are in the area and do not crave for seafood. After all, you cannot have lobster every day, can you? (Of course you can...)
