Review Summary

Reviews describe Bistro Amerigo as a cozy, neighborhood Italian bistro in Montreal with a simple, honest menu of well executed classics made with fresh ingredients. Diners repeatedly praise the gnocchi, meatballs, arancini, and a wide range of pastas and seafood, noting generous portions, comforting flavors, and a homey atmosphere that suits lunch or dinner. The wine list and service are often highlighted as warm and attentive, though several comments mention long waits for tables due to no reservations, crowded spaces, and occasional inconsistencies in service. Standout dishes such as vongole, octopus, and tiramisu or cannoli are frequently cited, while a few visits are described as pricey for the area. Overall, the restaurant is seen as a genuine Montreal gem that delivers authentic Italian food with personality and invites guests to return to try more of the menu.

Where do I even start! You think you're waiting a long time, but the second you get there they give you a complimentary salad, bread, & 5 smiles. A burrata to start, perfect. Now comes the star: the truffle gnocchi & the à la Norma! These 2 dishes paired perfectly together. The gnocchi is PERFECTION but very rich. & the Norma balances it out. These dishes are so good, it felt surreal. & then we ordered dessert, a perfect end to the meal. Tiramisu & pistachio gelato, so light. The real highlight, besides the amazing food & beautiful ambiance, was the service. We felt like part of the family by the end. Everyone there was so welcoming & loving, & they just wanted us fed. Such a warm place to be, we must go back next Thursday!

While the wait can take a bit of time, it was definitely worth it! My friend loves this place & suggested it for us to go dine in. Each primi comes with a side of salad or soup + you get complimentary bread. For the main, I am usually not a big fan of gnocchi but their gnocchi funghi e tartufata was divine; you will love it. I did not enjoy my cocktail - the margarita azzuro, if you are into sweeter drinks, do not order that one.

Everyone here is so incredibly friendly, the service is quick & very professional. It's not often you get a full service meal anymore (bread & salad) so it's refreshing. I typically go for the mushroom gnocchi- it has yet to disappoint. There's nothing like sitting on their terrasse & sipping a cold spritz on a warm summer evening. Great date spot or somewhere to impress the in-laws. Make sure you go put your name down early to get a table though, they're so popular it's often full.

Well I previously reviewed this place years ago after being treated very rudely in front of my little girl on her birthday & gave it an excellent rating on bread but on service, not even 1 star. I swore I would never go back & purchase another loaf of bewad although my family loves the bread. We stayed away for years, & then wirh my go ahead my husband started on a rare special occasion buying the bread again. This image is the inage i took after msking my first purchase after over 5 years of never stepping foot inside again. The place was newly renovated & the staff was friendly andprofessional & had a warm disposition about themselves. The bread is still very good & the cookies. I willbe back & contonue to come bavk as long as i & my family have a humane experience no matter if dealing with the owner or the staff.

We had to wait an hour for a table, which was fine as we knew they didn't take reservations. We were a group of 4. The chicken parm was 10/10, the gnocchi had such an overwhelming truffle taste that it was not enjoyable. One of the other pasta dishes we ordered was over cooked. Also the bread they serve was really disappointing. The calamari was to die for.

I found my new favorite restaurant for pasta. Solid 4 stars, here are the minor things that need improvement. - i was very disapointed with the bread. They serve the same bread from premiere moisson that you can buy at Costco, & they don't even bother to heat it up. Coming to a restaurant where they make fresh pasta, I would expect better bread. - the little salad with the mozzarella was bland & lacked salt. I dont know if its meant to be served that way or the cook just forgot to put salt on it but it had no taste. - the guy behind the bar who served us never offered us some parmesan with our main dishes, never asked us if our food was good. If he would've done this it would've been a 5 star for the service because other than these 2 points, he was very polite & service was fast. Little suggestion, a chili oil for people who like their food spicy would be a great condiment to have for people who would like to have some. I would've added some chili oil on the spaghetti that comes with the chicken parm! I hope the owner of the restaurant reads my review & can agree with me. I rarely write reviews, but I felt I wanted to share these points because I really can see this restaurant becoming my favorite italian restaurant in the city. I really wish them a lot of success. The gnoccis were to die for. The chicken parm was perfect. What can I say about the tiramisu? 10/10 just wow! I will definitely be back as I want to taste almost all the dishes on the menu! Just please give me some good & warm homemade bread with my pasta!

This place was bustling on a Wednesday night. The service was quick & the food was amazing! We ordered calamari as starter, the parpadelle & the cavatelli. The mains comes with bread & soup or salad. The minestrone was very hardy & flavorful. My favourite dish was the cavatelli as the balance of the sausage & the bitterness of the brocollini made the dish balanced. The portions were generous & was left feeling very full. Would def come again when craving Italian food.
