The subs are solid, with fresh bread & generous amounts of filling. The pizza is always on point with quality ingredients, & the dough is fantastic. The staff are great people & very accomodating. Go there, it's some of the best pizza downtownView more
Quick, polite service. We chose based off photos & reviews, & we we're not disappointed. The Ceasar salad was well dressed & zesty. We ordered a small but was a generous portion for 2 people.The meat lovers was flavourful & loaded with toppings. The dough is perfect. Everything was fresh. We will definitely return.View more
Some of the best service I ever had! Super friendly all the way through while always smiling too! Food comes in big portions with fresh ingredients & good quality. Will definitely try to visit againView more
The pizza here is, dare i say perfect, its like an orgasm in my mouth. The crust is just right & the toppings taste amazingly fresh. The service was also excellent as we were served pretty quickly. The only thing was the bathroom wasn't the best. Although I am ok with overlooking that, because this is a great restaurant.View more
To be entirely transparent, I came here out of complete desperation. I arrived in Montreal late for the weekend & to my disbelief, most restaurants are closed by 10 or 11pm. Spent almost an hour trying to find somewhere close to my hotel with "decent" food at midnight. Uber Eats claimed Alto was a top choice & reviews made it sound like it was worthwhile to go for. Ambience? Don't expect any. Very casual dining experience. Had some hip-hop playing off Spotify, a few tv's showing sports highlights. Place was mostly filled intoxicated 16-21 yr. I suppose I would see the appeal too if I was still in their demographic. Overly large menu. Way too many options. Reminds me of Pickle Barrel. & for anyone that's eaten at Pickle Barrel they'll understand what I mean. Overly large menu options is usually a sign of poor food. I personally find restaurants should stick to focusing on doing a smaller number of food options well. Versus trying to please everyone. There's probably nothing on this menu you won't find. Greek, Italian, burgers, pizza, sandwiches, subs & bar food. Anything you'd find in the freezer at your grocery store you can get here. Is it the same as what you find in the frozen section? Pretty much. I had a chicken on a pita (chicken was fresh & cooked very well so no complaints on the pita). The fries were a little on the crisper/oily side. Not my personal preference. We also ordered a cheese pizza that's cut in half with spaghetti in the middle of the plate. Interesting menu option. Pasta honestly was pretty bland. Pizza was nothing special or memorable. Our server... 😂 This was a highlight. I couldn't get a read on her. She was either miserable or hated her job. She said she had been working like 10 hours with no food or water. & can't even take a washroom break. She appeared like she just running on fumes. Not sure what the deal was with that but she was an odd one to interact with. Anyways, I can see the appeal for the youngin's.. But as an adult there's zero reason to go here unless you literally need to eat to survive & there's no other options. Overrated by far in my opinion.View more

I always rely on Alto for quick & efficient delivery. The person who answers the phone is consistently friendly—actually, all the staff members are friendly & know how to provide excellent customer service. They truly know how to treat their customers right.
Another aspect that keeps me coming back to Alto is the consistently fresh & delicious food. Each time I order, the taste keeps getting better & better. Moreover, the portions you receive for the price you pay are very generous. It's a great value for your money.
I highly recommend anyone to dine at Alto. I'm particularly fortunate to have my shop located near this restaurant, as I can always count on ordering food from here. It's a delightful experience every time!View more
I like this place for a few reasons:
1. It's a family-run: (I think second generation) business. Brothers, sisters, parents. They care about running the place well.
2. The food is good: The ingredients are fresh, & tasty. The beef used for the hamburger steak tastes like it's a cut above.
3. The ambiance: A bit dimly lit & a warm vibe. Classic rock at a perfect volume. Slightly louder than just a background hum.
4. It's a neighborhood institution. I used to go to Alto when I was a teen in the late 80's when it was just across the street. They've always had a friendly, family vibe. So even though they've moved & the new location is a bit more modern looking, it still brig back memories of playing pool next door when the arcade was there.
5. There's a terrace with classic rock playing.
6. They close at 2am ;)
Don't change, Alto!
