The arugula salad omg absolutely delicious, so simple but soo good! We also had the vegetarian pizza, it had so much flavour, we loved it. Not the typical veg pizza. & the tiramisu, to die for! A very generous piece. Our waiter was excellent too. His recommendations hit the spot. Would definitely go back again.

Stopped in for an afternoon cocktail & to share a pizza with my husband. We had the prosciutto pizza & it was excellent. We also had a cocktail with mezcal & it was a well crafted drink, although the price ($22) was a bit high in my opinion. Would definitely good back.

If you are a fan of rich, gooey, & perfectly balanced flavors, the Four Cheese Pizza at Bilboa Pizzeria is an absolute must-try. Bilboa takes a classic recipe & elevates it into a masterful combination of textures & tastes.

Stopped by Bilbao for lunch while in Montreal for the F1 GP. The Neapolitan pizza was delicious & the staff & service were outstanding. They deserve a raise. Made us feel so welcomed & genuinely cared for us while we were dining. Easy 5 stars. Thank you!

Really enjoyed our visit here! The pizza was fresh, cheesy, & packed with flavor - exactly what you want from a good Italian spot. The mocktails were refreshing & paired perfectly with the food. Great ambiance, friendly staff, & an overall amazing dining experience. Would definitely come back!
