Vyctor &Chino we're helping us today & they made it a memorable experience for my wife's birthday. Chino recommended a drink that I've never had & I loved it & for my wife's birthday they brought out a tiramisu. They were very friendly & funny. We had a great time. Our first trip to Montreal & our first stop in old town.

We visited Balboa Pizzeria for dinner. Although we didn't have a prior reservation, the staff arranged a table for us very quickly. We had the All The Meats Pizza. This is the most flavorful all meats pizza we have had. Perfect this crust, & amazing taste. The service, ambience & staff are great at Balboa. Would highly recommend a meal for anyone looking for a place to dine at, at Old Port, Montreal

Une découverte remarquable ! Si vous cherchez une pizzeria qui allie exigence culinaire & atmosphère détendue, c'est ici que ça se passe.

Dès l'arrivée, on est séduit par le cadre : le design est superbe, moderne & épuré, tout en restant parfaitement décontracté pour une soirée entre amis ou un dîner plus intime.
Côté cuisine, c'est un sans-faute. On sent que la sélection des produits est rigoureuse, avec une pâte travaillée à la perfection & des garnitures fraîches & savoureuses. Mention spéciale pour le service, qui est irréprochable : l'équipe est souriante, accueillante & de très bon conseil, ce qui rend l'expérience d'autant plus agréable.
Un rapport qualité-prix exemplaire pour une cuisine de ce niveau. Une adresse incontournable que je recommande vivement. J'y retournerai avec grand plaisir !

Balboa Pizzeria is absolutely fantastic! The pizza was fresh, flavorful, & cooked to perfection with a delicious crispy crust. The ingredients tasted high quality, & every bite was amazing. Zoya was friendly, welcoming, & provided excellent service from start to finish. The restaurant was clean, had a great atmosphere, & made for a wonderful dining experience. I highly recommend Balboa Pizzeria to anyone looking for delicious pizza & outstanding customer service. I'll definitely be coming back!
