Since its opening on November 11th, 2023, Restaurant L'Osso has quickly become a must-visit destination in Montreal and its surroundings for refined Italian and Mediterranean cuisine.
Located in the heart of Little Italy, it has captivated the most discerning food lovers with its dishes inspired by regional Italian cuisine, its menu composed of quality meats, fish, and homemade pasta, a combination of elements not found elsewhere in the area.
We had the opportunity to speak with the restaurant's Executive Chef and co-owner, Renato Ferrante, to learn all about L'Osso.
As a co-owner of the restaurant, Renato Ferrante shares this adventure with the Ruvo family from Les Délices Lafrenaie. This harmonious collaboration allows for the fusion of Renato's gastronomic expertise with the well-established know-how and reputation of Les Délices Lafrenaie, adding dimension to the experience offered by L'Osso.

An Exceptional Chef With Over 22 Years of Experience: Renato Ferrante
Before embarking on this venture, Renato Ferrante was one of the owners and the executive chef of the famous restaurant Da Vinci. Drawing from this experience and his love for Italian cuisine, he decided to bring a new dimension to the Montreal gastronomic scene by opening L'Osso.
His inspiration? To fill a perceived gap in the local culinary landscape: the absence of a quality Italian restaurant offering a variety of meats, fish, and freshly made pasta on-site.
The very name of the restaurant, "L'Osso," which means "the bone" in Italian, is a tribute to its signature dish: Osso Bucco. Prepared with care and braised for three hours, this dish has become a legend in Montreal, attracting loyal customers throughout the year, regardless of the seasons. Moreover, this recipe has been cited many times as the best in the city by several media outlets.
L'Osso: Perfect Harmony of Gastronomy, Excellent Wines, and Refined Cocktails.
Renato Ferrante's cuisine can be described as a refined and modern interpretation of regional Italian cuisine. With meticulous attention to detail and a passion for quality ingredients, each dish that leaves his kitchen is a symphony of Mediterranean flavors.
Lorenzo, the talented server and sommelier at L'Osso, guides guests through a selection of Italian and international wines, with a particular emphasis on Californian and French wines.
For an even more exquisite experience, cocktail enthusiasts can indulge in the creations of General Manager Patrick and the mixologist, who offer unique concoctions such as the Negroni or the "cherry margarita."

Alternatively, the à la carte menu is also available.
This is the perfect opportunity to discover the refined cuisine of L'Osso at an affordable price and to be seduced by Renato's cuisine, even during a busy day.
