Antonietta centers its culinary focus on the vibrant traditions of Italian cuisine by emphasizing the preparation of authentic handmade pasta and wood-fired oven specialties. The menu showcases a commitment to regional flavor profiles through the use of imported ingredients like San Marzano tomatoes, cured meats, and artisanal cheeses. Diners encounter a space defined by its rustic aesthetic, featuring exposed brick walls and an open layout that keeps the production of dough and searing of proteins in plain sight. This approach ensures that every plate reflects the foundational techniques of Mediterranean cooking without unnecessary embellishment. The selection of dishes highlights seasonal produce alongside protein-heavy staples, creating a structured balance of texture and heat. Consistency remains the primary objective as the kitchen maintains a rigorous standard for every classic recipe served within this lively environment.
Antonietta is widely celebrated as a culinary gem in Montreal, known for its authentic and flavorful Italian dishes, particularly its highly praised pizza that features a perfectly cooked crust in various styles. Guests frequently highlight the cozy and intimate atmosphere, which many describe as feeling like a warm, welcoming home, while the attentive service and open kitchen view contribute to an engaging dining experience. Although most visitors enjoy the fresh ingredients, professional staff, and consistent quality of the pasta and desserts, there are occasional critiques regarding pricing, noise levels, and inconsistent service standards. Despite these mixed remarks, the restaurant remains a top recommendation for those seeking a sincere taste of Italy in a charming, neighborhood setting.
Une expérience exceptionnelle chez Atonietta ! L'accueil est chaleureux, le service attentionné & chaque plat est un pur délice. Les pâtes maison sont incroyables, les pizzas savoureuses à souhait & les desserts sublimes. Une adresse incontournable que je recommande sans hésiter !
Amazing experience as always. One of the best italian restaurants in Montreal, everyone should give it a try.
Everything is great from the wine selection, to the starters, the pizza, the pasta, the mains & the desserts. Menu is often changing so you can always try new things.
The grilled octopus that was on the special last night was one of the best I've had in a very long time. Super tender & moist.

What a gem! Simple plates exceptionally prepared in a simple yet comfortable room with wonderfully friendly staff at reasonable prices. Always enjoy dinner here. The pizzas are delicious, the pasta perfectly prepared & the appetizers are always a tasty start. Don't miss dessert - the new nougat dessert is hands down the best!!!!
Food was OK at best (we had some apps, pizzas, & desserts). One of the pizzas was borderline gross which is inexcusable for a flagship item. Service was cold & disinterested & an afterthought. It was all just whatever.
It's a shame because we were there a few years & had a totally opposite experience, everything was great. I feel like what happened last night is representative of the food scene in Montreal now - degraded quality of food & service in exchange for heightened prices. I have no problem paying more to support our restaurants but I'm fed up with leaving these experiences feeling that I was taken advantage of as a customer.
Also, 18%-25% tip option range on payment machines is incredibly presumptuous.
Très belle journée expérience chez Antonietta. Des ingrédients frais & goûteux apprêtés avec savoir faire de l'entrée jusqu'au dessert. Un service courtois & efficace. Une adresse de quartier à découvrir. Mieux vaut réserver.
Première fréquentation; agréable. Service sympa, attentionné. Petit dessert offert pour souligner anniversaire apprécié. Très belle présentation des plats. Pas convaincu de l'huile de truffe avec les betteraves en entrée - ça masque leur goût délicat. Autrement, délicieux. Cavatellis avec belles crevettes mais sauce nettement trop salée. Salade avec (peu de) pieuvre grillée mais goûteuse & rafraichissante. Assez cher cependant tout ça... On essaie les pizzas la prochaine fois - mais quand il fera moins froid car la porte laisse passer l'air de l'extérieur & c'est désagréable.
Chacun des plats était tout simplement divin, & le serveur a recommandé les vins qui accompagnaient le repas à la perfection. Pour couronner le tout, le tiramisu en dessert était un véritable délice. Ce souper entre amis m'a transportée en Italie le temps d'une soirée.
Un petit resto sympathique, une osteria dans un quartier résidentiel & un secret bien gardé. On y sert une cuisine italienne réinventée. Après une entrée de focaccia, nos deux plats : des tagliatelle aux champignons & pleurotes ainsi que des gnocchi de châtaignes au gorgonzola & poires. Les portions semblent petites, mais le goût est riche & savoureux. Nos deux desserts: tiramisu & l'autre aux pommes & caramel salé étaient parmi les meilleurs depuis très très longtemps.
