Without a doubt amongst the best Italians you can find in Montreal.

Birbante's kitchen puts emphasis on quality & simplicity as a faithful ode to traditional Italian cuisine, while still providing fresh & modern takes on classic recipes (i.e. Nduja Risotto & the Doppia Bruschetta)

They'll never fail to make you feel welcome & at home with their great staff, meaning that you'll typically go back home with a full belly & a large smile. Remarkable how they nailed bringing an authentic Italian spirit all they way to Montreal.

Only danger is that if you go once, you might just find yourself going again & again.

I was hoping to get an authentic Italian experience in my area, but unfortunately, this restaurant was quite disappointing. Having spent time in Italy, I've come to appreciate the balance of quality & portion size - something that was lacking here.

The food was underwhelming & quite expensive for the quantity. We actually left still hungry. I ordered the clam pasta & ended up having to return it (something I rarely ever do) because it was overly salty & the pasta itself was dry.

On the bright side, the service was excellent - they were kind enough to replace my dish with another option from the menu. We finished with a tiramisu, hoping for a better impression, but it too was a bit dry.

Overall, great service but disappointing food for the price.

This place is just incredible! The food is outstanding, the drinks are made to perfection. The ambiance is cozy & authentic. Really makes you feel like you're in Italy! Special mention to the Arrosticini & Nduja on focaccia, which is impossible to find anywhere else in Montreal! Will be returning without any doubt!

I recently dined at Birbante & was thoroughly impressed. The professional service created a comfortable & intimate atmosphere, ideal for a date night. The music selection was outstanding, & I appreciated that their playlist is available for download on their website. The drinks stood out with their authentic, natural flavors, perfectly complementing the meal. The food was absolutely delicious, with expertly balanced spices enhancing each dish. Highly recommend for anyone seeking an exceptional Italian dining experience!
