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.

Delicious food, from appetizers to mains to dessert. Attentive staff. An upscale & elevated experience without pretension. Some of the tables are situated quite close together which was the only drawback. Highly recommend this spot for a special date night.

The ambiance was warm & elegant, the service attentive without being intrusive, & every dish-from the freshly made pasta to the impeccably prepared entrées-was bursting with authentic flavor. The wine selection was superb. Highly recommended!

First visit. Will def return. Visiting Montreal for the weekend from Ontario. Made a reservation (preferred). Our server, Paloma, was exceptional. Attentive, friendly & professional. (& we were offered to taste the wine we selected to ensure we liked it) We were not rushed,.which was appreciated. Loved that they poured the olive oil/balsamic at our table) The food was amazing - fresh, authentic Italian. Portions were larger than we expected. I had gnocchi & husband had pork cheek carbonara. The mini meatballs (complimentary) were delicious. Great ambiance, low lighting & music in.the background - not loud. Perfect for a date night. Thank you! 😁
