The ricotta & spinach pasta is AMAZING, I never usually like Italian restaurants (bland & underwhelming) but this pasta blew me away. Pizza is also delicious as well.

During my recent culinary stroll through Old Port Montreal, I had the pleasure of dining at a charming spot that delivered a delightful blend of comfort, flavor, & ambiance. Our order consisted of the Arancino, Salame Pizza, Focaccia bread, & two craft cocktails-a well-rounded selection for an evening out.
Let me start with the Arancino-a golden, fried risotto ball nestled in a luscious tomato sauce. This dish is a must-try. The outer crispiness gives way to a creamy, flavorful center that immediately wakes up the palate. The sauce, vibrant & tangy, complements the richness of the risotto perfectly. It's the kind of starter that sets the bar high & leaves you anticipating what's next.
Following this strong start was the Salame Pizza, topped generously with pepperoni. What stood out here was the meticulous attention to detail-the pepperoni was sliced to a consistent, ideal thickness, crisped just right around the edges. The dough struck a perfect balance-thin enough to avoid any heavy, bloated feeling, yet sturdy enough to hold its structure & deliver a satisfying chew. Each bite was harmonious, & the flavor lingered pleasantly on the tongue.
Next came the Focaccia bread. While it may not have been the highlight of the meal, it was certainly enjoyable-lightly crisped on the outside, soft on the inside, & mildly seasoned. It serves as a great accompaniment, though it doesn't steal the spotlight.
Pairing all of this with two well-crafted cocktails elevated the experience. Whether you're a fan of something refreshing or more spirit-forward, the cocktail menu is worth exploring to enhance your meal.
The location deserves its own mention-the restaurant is tucked away in the picturesque Old Port, offering diners a visually pleasing, almost cinematic backdrop. With cobblestone streets, old-world architecture, & a warm breeze from the water, the setting adds a unique charm to the entire dining experience. The staff were equally impressive-welcoming with genuine smiles & attentive throughout the evening, striking the perfect balance between friendliness & professionalism.
If there's one caveat to note, it's that the kitchen can take a bit of time, so I recommend settling in, enjoying the ambiance, & perhaps ordering a drink or two while you wait. The food is worth the patience.
Final verdict: Start with the Arancino, don't skip the Salame Pizza, sip on something crafted behind the bar, & soak in the atmosphere. This spot is a delightful gem in the heart of Old Montreal.
I'm a big fan of Italian cuisine, & I usually choose dishes based on photos or reviews. I tried the marinated chicken with vegetables from the menu, but to be honest, it wasn't quite what I expected. In my view, Italian food has a different flavor profile, so this dish didn't really feel very authentic to me. Still, I appreciate the effort & presentation.
I went there with a large group of friends & the service was pretty good. The food was also delicious, but I think there are better options for the price. It's a tourist attraction, so the high price is expected.
We made a reservation for 30 people, & every single one of our guests was delighted with the food. John's service was absolutely impeccable. We literally didn't want to leave! We loved the whole experience & are truly grateful to the entire team. Highly recommended!

My wife & I were wandering Old Montreal when we stumbled across this gem.
The multilevel restaurant embodies warmth. Our first impression was upheld by every stage of our experience with this lovely Pizzeria. Jean-Carlo (sp?) is an important part of why we enjoyed our visit to the well-managed business. He was warm & welcoming. He was steadfast in ensuring that we enjoyed our experience, he made good recommendations, & he allowed me to practice my French. I was impressed by how switfly he would handle all of his patrons. He even took the time to make other culinary recommendations in Montreal.
Our Arancino & shared Maguerita pizza were perfect, simply perfect.
We are looking forward to trying other pizzas on the menu. We will be back!
The ambiance is delightful & as mentioned, it has a warmth that you'll have to experience to understand it fully.
Thank you to all the staff who made our experience what it is. It is obvious that everyone, not just the wait staff, is committed to a good experience at this restaurant.
If you find yourself in Montréal, you HAVE to eat here! The food is absolutely amazing. The staff are friendly, helpful & so knowledgeable. Besides all this, the restaurant itself is gorgeous! So modern & well put together.
Last night we have been to a Pizza making experience at Bevo's in Montreal's Old Port.
We had reserved our experience online & prepaid everything(including tip)
From the star, the young lady greeting us at the door was very pleasant.
(I hope I'm getting the names right)
We then had the pleasure to have Yanni as a waiter who took great care of us. Very nice, no rush, eager to please.
We were served
2 Giant meatballs:delicious
1 dish to share Rosée noodles: delicious
1 dish of olives(too salty) & different vegetables with something resembling melba toasts: my husband ate some, I didn't like it. Maybe it's an acquired taste.
Then we met the Chef Giovanni, very very nice & patient. Lovingly sharing his knowledge & love of making pizza.
We actually learned a lot.
We each made our own pizza the way we like it by choosing our own toppings & going ourselves being the counter & building our own pizza.
The cook then puts it in the stone oven an they then serve to us:Delicious
They top it off with a beautiful Nutella pizza: Delicious
The package included a glass of wine or drink.
We were also given a beautiful Bevo apron to take home:We liked that
I would highly recommend the whole experience, we both had great food & a great experience!
