Service super sympa & nourriture vraiment délicieuse👍🏼 On hésitait à prendre un autre plat, mais le serveur nous a conseillé le spécial du soir. On lui a fait confiance & on a bien fait. Les raviolis aux champignons & au boeuf (pas sûre du nom) étaient incroyables.
I discovered this amazing place a few years ago, thanks to a friend. Since then, I have taken friends & family. Today I was there with my two adult sons. It was Easter weekend, so relatively quiet at 13h00. As usual, I was so impressed with the octopus. The only downside was the white wine. Just meh. The tartelette de petits fruits was excellent but the tiramisu was very soupy. Still, kudos to the wait & kitchen staff.
I had a wonderful experience at Bistro Amerigo. The service was attentive & genuinely welcoming, making the whole evening feel relaxed & enjoyable. The food was outstanding, fresh, flavorful, & beautifully presented. The atmosphere added the perfect touch, with a warm & inviting vibe that made it easy to settle in & enjoy the moment. Definitely a place I'd return to :)

A delight for my taste buds. Did not plan a visit here but it was a quick decision after seeing the reviews. They took care of the 4 of us. Fed us & chatted up up. So happy with the food & spices. The sauce is amazing.
What a sweet spot!! It feels like you are having supper with family. Everyone enjoyed their meals, ranging from pasta to meat. They start you with a complementary salad of mixed greens & a yummy dressing.
They don't take reservations so keep that in mind but the service is fast & the food is delicious 😋
Bonne place, style bistro, personnel très sympathique & chaleureux, je m'attendais à plus au niveau des plats, surtout après 50 minutes d'attente, mais je recommande pour l'ambiance & la qualité du service.
Wow! I've lived near this restaurant for years but never bothered to go in before today. Normally, I avoid Italian restaurants because I feel like I could just make the same thing at home, but this place was phenomenal. We split the calamari, a salad, & a gnocchi (I think) dish with mushrooms & Italian sausage. This may have been the best meal I've eaten in years: so flavorful, so delicious! The calamari was done just right, & the sauce on the pasta... we left saying wow over & over as we walked home. I wish they had a lunch menu because we were not prepared for the amount we ate. Fantastic!
Had an absolutely fantastic meal at Café Amerigo. Everything we ordered was so good.
The food is comforting, flavorful, & clearly made with care. You can really taste the quality of the ingredients, & the portions are generous without feeling heavy. It's the kind of place that feels authentic & unpretentious, yet delivers quality dishes that you'll think about long after you leave.
What really puts the experience over the top is the service. The staff are incredibly warm, attentive, & welcoming - the kind of hospitality that makes you feel like a regular even if it's your first visit. That level of genuine friendliness is rare & it makes the whole meal even more enjoyable.
The atmosphere is lively with that classic neighborhood café energy where everyone seems to be having a great time.
Honestly, everything was so good that we're already talking about planning another trip to Montreal just so we can eat here again. If you're visiting the city, Café Amerigo is absolutely worth making time for.

Salad - 10
Spinach arancini - 7
Beef arancini - 7
Sauce average.
Gnocchi - 10. Perfection. We waited almost an hour, but this made it worth it. The sauce was perfect, & the gnocchi was so good - I really felt it was homemade. It was soft & delicious. Only place I like gnocchi. The mushrooms were yummy as well, & I liked the different shapes of mushrooms.
Paper dell - 7 lacks a little salt, I found. Felt like more meat than pasta, not really any sauce. The meat felt a little dry. The pasta shape was so great & felt very fresh.
All in all, cute place - I'll always be a fan. Good ambiance, service is good. Cute dim lighting, perfect for a dinner date with your boo or with your girls. I even waited around 40 minutes in the cold, but it was worth it for the gnocchi mushroom pasta.
Beaucoup aimé! La nourriture & le service est impeccable 👌 rien a dire !
Le osso bucco était vraiment délicieux. Grosse portion facilement partageable, on a du prendre beaucoup à emporte
Ce soir, j'ai essayé le Bistro Amerigo pour le dîner & j'ai vécu une expérience incroyable ! On y trouve les meilleures saveurs de la cuisine italienne. Je recommande vivement le'Risotto ai Funghi' & le'Tiramisu', ils étaient délicieux ! Le service était impeccable, le personnel était vraiment attentionné & tout est arrivé à temps. Les prix sont très raisonnables pour la qualité offerte. C'est un endroit idéal pour ceux qui veulent goûter l'Italie à Montréal.
Italian'garde manger' is their bi line, & it fits well. Simple to the point Italian food & drink offerings done right. Relaxed, friendly & unpretentious. A definite keeper for me. Great place for lunch or dinner.
