Simply incredible! Im a sucker for good authentic italian food & have been to italy a few times & this place hits the spot just right. Its cozy & they don't take reservations, so be aware of that. The food is awesome, the service is not fussy but very nice, efficient & friendly. I especially recommend their papardelle at ragu (veal sauce) which slapped. We'll be back to try the rest of the menuView more

I stumbled upon Bistro Ameriko recently, & I have to say, it's a gem in Montreal's dining scene. One of the things that immediately caught my eye was that they offer vongole, which is surprisingly hard to find around here. Naturally, I had to give it a try, & I was not disappointed!
The vongole was everything I hoped for - perfectly cooked pasta with a delicate, briny broth that really let the clams shine. It had just the right balance of garlic & white wine, & every bite transported me to the Italian coast. It's not easy to find a place in Montreal that does vongole right, but Bistro Ameriko nails it.
For lunch, they also serve a simple green salad when you order one of their mains. While the salad isn't fancy, it's a nice touch - crisp greens with a light vinaigrette that complements the meal without overpowering it. It's a thoughtful inclusion that rounds out the plate.
I also tried their fungus pasta, & wow - it was packed with earthy, umami-rich flavors. The mushrooms were cooked to perfection, & the sauce clung to the pasta beautifully, delivering a satisfying, hearty bite every time. It's a dish I'll definitely be coming back for.
Overall, the atmosphere at Bistro Ameriko is warm & inviting, making it a great spot for a relaxed lunch or dinner. The service is friendly, & it's clear that they put a lot of care into their food. I'm already planning my next visit - there's so much more on the menu I want to explore. If you're in Montreal & looking for a place that offers both classic favorites & hard-to-find gems like vongole, Bistro Ameriko is absolutely worth a visit.View more

Nice cozy, familiar little place. The staff are very amiable & warm. Insalata Di Popo is a must do - the roast on the octopus is top tier. It's hard to do octopus correctly & this place nails it - tasted fresh! Portions are nice & big.
About 20 mins walk from Villa Maria metro if you don't want to take the bus.View more

J'ai été très déçue par ce restaurant, principalement à cause du service. Il est impossible de réserver, & on nous avait annoncé une attente de 30 à 45 minutes pour obtenir une table. Finalement, nous avons attendu une heure. Jusque-là, ça allait - je comprends que l'endroit est très populaire.
Cependant, une fois assis, on nous a assigné une table en même temps qu'un autre couple, avec qui nous avons commandé au même moment. Ce couple a eu le temps de manger leur salade & leur plat principal, alors que de notre côté, nous n'avions toujours pas reçu notre salade. Un autre couple, arrivé quinze minutes après nous, a également reçu & mangé leur salade, & nous avons reçu en même temps qu'eux notre plat principal - sans salade.
Pourtant, une vingtaine ou trentaine de minutes après avoir commandé, le gérant nous avait demandé si nous avions reçu notre salade, ce à quoi nous avions répondu non. Notre serveuse, qui se trouvait juste derrière lui, avait entendu l'échange. Malgré cela, pendant tout le repas, il a été difficile d'attirer son attention, même si elle nous regardait à chaque passage. À la limite, je me suis sentie ignorée.
Nous avons finalement pu demander notre salade lorsque notre plat principal est arrivé avec une autre serveuse, qui nous l'a amené très rapidement. À la fin du repas, nous avons échangé avec une 3e serveuse, très sympathique, qui a un peu sauvé notre expérience.
Côté nourriture, rien à redire : c'était effectivement très bon. Par contre, cela ne compense malheureusement pas notre mauvaise expérience avec le service.View more

I would just like to share my experience through Uber Eats. I was craving gnocchi bolognese but that was not an option on the menu. Nonetheless, I love this restaurant so I ordered anyway. In the comments, I asked if they would possibly sub out pappardelle for gnocchi if they could. Chef Alex not only switched out the pasta, but wrote back an incredibly kind note & included a cannoli. Kindness like this truly restores my faith in humanity. Thank you so very much & I will continue to be a loyal customer!View more

Solid Italian in NDG, probably the best in the neighborhood. We went for lunch.
We shared the polpete as appetizers, which tasted great. We then had the eggplant pasta & the duck pasta. They were served with a very tasty green salad. Both were good, & portions were super generous, we could barely finish, but we weren't wowed.
Service was quick, & the place is very charming & cosy.
Overall, we enjoyed our experience, we'll come back for dinner to try other dishes & see how that compares.View more

I really enjoyed my experience at Amerigo. The place is so cute, charming & homey. The gnocchi was sooooo good! Id go back just for that. Not to disregard all the other wonderful items we ate. The polpettes were also a great hit. I would definitely recommend!View more

What an unforgettable dining experience! From the moment we sat down, we were taken care of by Roberto, who was an absolute gem of a server-sweet, warm, & authentic. He made us laugh, told stories like everyone's Nonno, & made us feel right at home.
The food was phenomenal. We started with the veal meatball-tender, rich, & perfectly seasoned. The seafood platter was fresh & generous, & the linguine with sardines was a standout-bold, flavorful, & done just right. We finished with a crisp, creamy cannoli that hit the spot.
The ambience was exactly what you'd want for a cozy Italian dinner: dim lighting, a little loud, but so familiar it felt like a big family gathering. Highly recommend-can't wait to come back!View more
