Antonietta is described as a warm, authentic Italian spot with a cozy, intimate vibe and a kitchen that showcases handmade pasta and wood-fired pizza. The menu focuses on fresh ingredients and Italian tradition, with standout dishes such as burrata, octopus, and sea urchin carbonara frequently praised. The service is noted as friendly and attentive when running smoothly, though some visits are described as loud, inconsistent, or rushed during busy hours. The open kitchen and a compact, one page menu give the experience a homey feel, and the menu tends to change with the seasons. Because the space is small, reservations are recommended, and while many reviews celebrate the food and atmosphere, a few point to price/value concerns or occasional billing slips. Overall, Antonietta is regarded as a neighborhood gem worth returning to for the flavors, atmosphere, and hospitality, even as a handful of visits fall short on service or value.
Antonietta is such a lovely take on an authentic Italian restaurant. The pizza is baked in a traditional wood-fired round oven, which gives the crust a perfect balance of chewiness & lightness. Their burrata salad is absolutely delicious-so fresh & light, the kind of starter that sets the tone for the rest of the meal.
The mains are equally satisfying: the beef macaroni is hearty & flavorful, while the rabbit pasta is delicate yet rich in taste. Everything feels thoughtfully prepared & true to Italian tradition.
The restaurant itself is on the smaller side, so making a reservation ahead of time is a must. The atmosphere feels cozy & intimate, & what really stands out is the service. The staff are attentive without being overbearing, constantly making sure your plates are cleared & the table kept fresh. On top of that, they're genuinely kind & welcoming, which makes the experience even more enjoyable.
All in all, Antoinetta is a gem; authentic, flavorful, & warm. Definitely worth the visit!

What a great experience. A neighbourhood but much more than that. The service was top notch i felt right at home when I got in.
As for the food, the octopus salade with fennel & organe was a breath of fresh air followed with the lamb chops with an amazing sauce was a great way to start the evening.
We finished the night with a couple pastas that were very generous portion wise.
Overall i highly recommend this restaurant. Come by for the wine & stay for the food.
antonietta is an italian hidden gem! the restaurant is small but the seating arrangement, decor, & ambiance make the space feel cozy & inviting. with an open kitchen concept, you feel as though you're a guest having handmade dinner in someone's home. the service is impeccable as the staff is extremely informed about the ingredients & extensively know their wine list. the wine menu has your main options: red, white, orange & bubbly. if you have any questions or concerns they are there to guide you in having the best & most authentic italian experience in the city. now when it comes to the food - absolutely orgasmic! with a perfectly size menu (one page) you can taste the freshness & quality in each bite from appetizers to dessert. to add, i noticed that so much craft, passion, & creativity goes into every dish. we were fortunate to try an experimental dish made by their back of house legend, matteo, & of course it did not disappoint.
antonietta is absolutely gorgeous & checks all your culinary boxes! thank you to the amazing team, can't wait to come back during the summer!
My partner & I had an incredible meal here. The restaurant is small but cozy. The food was incredible! I also travelled to Italy this summer & the food tasted authentic & fresh. we celebrated a birthday & they made us feel special. The service was impeccable, & we will definitely come again! What a gem of a restaurant ✨
They do the best Neapolitan pizza in Montreal, for sure. Also other food is fresh & excellent. Stuff is kind, but unfortunately you can't reserve a table to eat pizza for more than 6 people. For a group of 7 or more, they oblige a group menu of $ 75 per person (with dishes chosen by their chef). The environment is small, but the real problem is the soft light that can't allow you to read the menu (when they put the music & the local is full, it's really difficult to stay).
Always a pleasure to eat here. The food is always fresh & the young men running the place are welcoming. I love their pizzas. My favourite pizza is their Cacio e Pepe. A must try
Best italian food ever. The food was fresh. The service & the staff were perfect. If you want to eat fresh & real Italian food, go to Antonietta. You won't regret it. Thank you for this extraordinary experience. We will be returning to Antonietta's soon, hungry for more.

The food was absolutely top quality ingredients, flavors, & presentation! You can taste how fresh the food is! The vibe is relaxed, the restaurant itself is very small so if you're reserving at prime time, I would book 15 mins earlier than you expect to be seated (we waited a while but it was worth it).
We went on a recommendation & we were not disappointed! From the moment we walked in until the time we left the staff was friendly, attentive & helpful. The food is excellent, simple dishes prepared perfectly with a fresh taste in every bite. The house cocktails are worth a try - I had the bourbon & my partner the gin cocktail & we both enjoyed them. They have several wines by the glass which was a great accompaniment for our meal. We will be back!!

Where to begin! Luigi & the rest of the folks at Antonietta always make you feel at home & welcome. The food is always fresh & quality is excellent.
Very happy to recommend & look forward to our next visit.
Food is made with fresh ingredients & their wines are also very well chosen. I believe they are private imports. I recommend this tiny but wonderful restaurant.
An all-around fantastic dining experience...the food is seasonal & fresh, the staff was helpful, friendly, & professional.
Our server made a recommendation on which wine to order & he did not disappoint! He was patient & answered all of our questions on the menu items. The staff was responsive & helpful for the food intolerances of my friends & went out of their way to accommodate their allergies.
It was my second time eating at Antoinetta in a month & the menu was completely different from my last visit, which is definitely a positive. Cannot wait to go back again soon! Thank you to the amazing team at Antonietta for making our night out a memorable one! 5 stars all around.
