Alto features a great menu of Italian and Greek style fast food, the Alto Restaurant on Park Avenue is one of the most popular fast food places in town. Delivery available.
Alto Restaurant in Montreal receives praise for pizza with a great crust and sauce, generous toppings and a range of other dishes like souvlaki, burgers, poutine and comforting pastas, with reviewers highlighting generous portions and good value. Service is repeatedly described as friendly, efficient and accommodating even when busy, and the atmosphere is welcoming with a family owned vibe that makes it a good spot for groups and families and for late meals or takeout. While most dishes are well liked, a few items are noted as average or not worth it, and there are occasional comments about long waits or menu items that have changed, but the overall impression is that Alto delivers quality and variety, especially with pizza and poutine, and earns repeat visits from locals and visitors alike.
In town for a Cheer event we went on Friday night as near hotel & were very happy with our meals for a group of 9, the pizza was great & we took 1 to go too! Service was good considering it was busy they managed & big shout out to Nonna - awesome to deal with (sons own the shop). We ended up back there on Saturday night as well. Everyone on both days was satisfied with meals from souvlaki wrap/dinners to burgers to salads to pizza. Good portions & freshly made!
Definitely will return when we are back in Montréal.
Alto's is a go-to pizza spot. Everything on offer is delicious. Everything. 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 downtown
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.
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 again
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.
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.

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!
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 ;)
