The best Italian in town !! Hands down ❤? I love Birbante
Best
we slipped into this deliciously 70s-Milan-kissed Italian hideaway, where mischief is written right into the menu & charm is served by the plateful.
Everything tasted unmistakably homemade-like stepping into Nonna's house on a slow, sunny Sunday. We almost hate that we loved it so much 😅
We began with a crisp endive salad dotted with almonds, a simple pleasure done perfectly. Then came the Tagliatelle, tangled lovingly with veal & olives in a very balanced sauce Nonna couldn't have made better herself. The haddock, dressed generously in pesto, was a quiet show-stopper. & the lava cake smelled like it came straight out of my mom's oven-warm, familiar, & impossible to resist.
The décor plays just as big a role in the experience: Campari bottles stacked from floor to ceiling, orange banquettes straight out of a stylish 70s film set, marble touches, & soft vintage round lights that make everyone look like they're part of the celebration. It's the perfect spot for a date (bring someone who deserves it) or an intimate gathering of close friends-& yes, sharing plates is encouraged.

Let's start by saying I hated it!!! BECAUSE I know I'll be dreaming about every dish for as long as my ADHD allows. We had three courses & dessert, each with an Italian name I won't attempt to butcher, so bear with me. There is Campari everywhere. Not super important but I was like wow.
Ok what was eaten:
Endive Salad: Perfectly balanced flavors with a kick of tangy vinaigrette. Simple, fresh, & so well done.
Pasta with Veal Meatballs: This one. The smellllllll of the tomato sauce instantly transported us to our grandmothers' houses on a Sunday afternoon. Full-blown nostalgia moment & obviously absolutely delicious.
Fish with Pesto: PERFECTION. Nothing more to say.
Molten Lava Cake: 10/10. Paired with some raspberry goodness. DID NOT disappointment, pure joy.
In short, every plate was simple yet layered with thoughtful, intentional flavors. Nothing felt overlooked. You can see into the kitchen if you get close enough, I always like that.
I genuinely think this is the perfect spot for a small group of friends who like sharing dishes…you get to try more of their fantastic menu. It's very open. Looks like they could accommodate a giant group comfortably.

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.

Birbante is a true gem in Montreal! Authentic Italian flavors, warm atmosphere, & a friendly team that makes you feel at home. Every dish tastes like it's made with passion & tradition something you can't easily find elsewhere in the city. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a genuine Italian experience! 🇮🇹🍝🍷

Amazing authentic Italian restaurant. Best Campari & aperol spritz we've had in years. Excellent lunch menu. Go.

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.

Ristorante italiano a Montreal, cibo pazzesco, personale gentilissimo, musica ottima, e la cosa che mi è piaciuta di più è il locale, in un certo senso essenziale ma estremamente caratteristico, che rimanda molto all'Italia ma modernizzandola, rimanendo elegante e senza essere kitsch. Ho mangiato la burrata, l'insalata, una pasta al pomodoro, le capesante, il loro pesce spada, la tagliata di carne: DIVINO. Davvero, anche meglio di quando stai in Italia. Super consigliato
Jonathan
Outstanding place, easily the best Italian restaurant in the city!

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.
Dora
I have been to many restaurants & yet there is something special about Birbante. The atmosphere is very cozy topped with great music which gives the place a beautiful Italian vibe. The owners are very welcoming & greet you with open arms. The staff works very hard as they are very quick & efficient. The food & drinks are exquisite. I went with a few friends the second time & they all loved it as well. I will definitely be going back to Birbante for the food & overall vibe.

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!
