Nous étions 4 & nous ne comprenons pas que le restaurant soit noté à 4.6 en ce moment (147 personnes).
Nous avions pris chacun un plat différent (poisson (vivaneau) / spaghetti aux fruits de mer / risotto / raviolis à la truffe). Les plats étaient fades & petits. Nous n'avons ni mangé à notre faim ni à notre goût. Le service était OK (serveur gentil). Les entrées étaient OK, pas plus - nous avions pris des entrées à partager (salade d'endive / salade de calamars grillés / agneau). L'une de nous a pris un gâteau fondant au chocolat & l'extérieur était brûlé.
Temps d'attente trop long - on a reçu nos plats plus d'une heure après avoir commandé.

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.

Birbante was incredible! We were a group of six girls & shared everything - & honestly, every dish was amazing. We started with the doppia bruschetta (absolutely delicious!), the burrata, & the endive salad - all so fresh & full of flavor. Then we had a risotto & a pesto pasta, both super tasty & perfectly done. Our waiter was amazing - he explained the menu so well, was super generous, & made the whole experience even better. We finished with 4-5 desserts & devoured every bite. The place itself is beautiful - the décor is super cool yet cozy. 100% recommend!

Loved it ! Try the n'duja risotto. (One of the few places in Montreal to carry Strega.)

Wow I had an amazing experience. First off, I had the special which was a fried string ray appetizer. It was exquisite & paired beautifully with a butter based sauce. The risotto burrata was delicious but a little too spicy for my liking. The steak & grilled vegetables were the star of the show for me, all perfectly cooked. The steak was delicious & tender. Service was also great.

The risotto was tasty, but very small portion for 34$, it didn't make sense & our group left feeling hungry. Great service by our waiter though & they had a dj which was cool.

I want to start by saying the place is very nice decorated & the service was very friendly!

However, i'm a bit disappointed with the food since I had high expectations for this place, it was wasn't bad but it wasn't wow either. We asked if it was good to share between two people & we were told yes, but after 2 entrees, 2 mains & 2 desserts, we were still hungry as the dishes were way smaller than expected. l

To start, we had the Doppia Bruschetta, which was extremely salty & Crudo (this one was good). As main, we had Risotto N'duja e Burrata which was good, & Linguine which was alright. The highlight was the tiramisu, the tortino & the aperols spritz.

I was excited to try this restaurant as a fan of La Panzeria, but I was really disappointed. I won't be returning. The food is decent, but nothing special. La Panzeria has a unique & original concept, with a small menu where everything is delicious. In comparison, Bribante has a ton of Italian restaurants competing, & I think it's just okay. The prices are exorbitant for the dishes; for example, the saffron risotto at $32 is really just an appetizer portion in my opinion. The service was excellent.

A VERY good option if you are feeling like getting some real italian food, the risotto alla milanese is incredible, the arrosticini along with the the endive salad were the perfect entree for it & balanced out the complete meal. If you don't know that much about italian food I would definitely search up some of the dishes so that you can make the right choices because it worked great for me.
