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!
