We were a group of four in town for the annual tennis tournament. I made a reservation earlier in the day for that evening with no problem.

We were greeted & seated in a timely manner.

The two staff were attentive & kind allowing us to take our time & not once did we feel rushed.

The appetizers were fantastic. My husband & I shared the zucchini blossoms & the other couple shared the burrata.

We asked Marcello for wine suggestions & we all enjoyed what came to the table.

Each of us thoroughly enjoyed our mains as well. I personally can't not order a risotto when I come to Bis & this time it was the scallop & shrimp option. Délicieux!

We do try to come to Bis when we are in town for the NBO tennis & we've never regretted that! It also happened to be my husband & my 20th wedding anniversary, so it made it that much better (we didn't make that known.) All in all, we had a wonderful meal with fantastic service.

Thank you for another lovely evening. Hope to see you again in Aug 2027.

Until then.

Un assaggio di casa a Montreal. Il proprietario Marcello è simpatico, professionale ed è stato gentilissimo. Il locale ha un'ottima atmosfera, rilassante e curata. I piatti erano gustosi. La mia pasta alla bolognese davvero squisita, la carbonara di mio marito era buona ma non perfettamente autentica (aveva erba cipollina/limone). Dolci e vino ottimi. Che passiate in visita o abitiate a Montreal vale la pena fare una visita. Prezzi allineati a quelli della città.

Ce restaurant mérite de faire partie de vos bonnes adresses & d'être ajouté à vos habitudes de sorties gourmandes. C'est une institution à Montréal. De la vraie bonne cuisine italienne & un service irréprochable. On s'y sent réellement accueilli selon les plus hauts standards qu'on ne voit plus souvent à notre époque. Ah, & on s'entend parler autour de la table, sans devoir monter le ton! Ambiance parfaite!
