Exceptional! I've been to Amerigo so many times for lunch & finally went for dinner. The pasta is just flawless. The ingredients are fresh, it's cooked to perfection. Noah our waiter was absolutely amazing. Professional, courteous, timely. Really made our experience that much better.

One of my favorite things about this restaurant is its location. It's in one of my favorite neighborhoods in Montreal, & in the summer the atmosphere on Monkland is hard to beat. The restaurant itself was packed for a Tuesday night, which made for a great vibe. If you can grab a table on the patio, I'd definitely recommend it. I also liked the casual Italian bistro feel of the space.

The service was friendly & efficient. A small touch I really appreciated was that they leave a bottle of water on the table so you can refill your own glass instead of waiting for service, especially nice on a warm summer evening. They also serve a fresh house salad before the main course, which was a nice way to start the meal, although I found the dressing a bit too salty.

I ordered the carbonara special & was really looking forward to it, but it didn't quite meet my expectations. The guanciale was a little too burnt for my taste, & the cheese was very strong & overpowered the dish; I suspect there was more than just Pecorino & Parmesan. Overall, my pasta, as well as my friend's clam & shrimp pasta, were both a bit too salty. That said, the fresh pasta itself was cooked perfectly. The standout dish of the night was definitely the mushroom gnocchi, absolutely delicious & the one I'd recommend ordering.

The drinks were good (you can't really go wrong with an Aperol Spritz!), & overall I enjoyed the experience. I'd happily come back to try more of the menu, as we've only sampled three pasta dishes. Between the atmosphere, the location, & the welcoming service, I think this place deserves another visit.

Enjoyed our visit here. Small & intimate location. We went Saturday evening around 4:45 & we took the last remaining table. After we sat down, restaurant was full for the rest of the night with many customers. The clam pasta was delicious with generous chunks of clam

Had a wonderful meal here today.

The standout dishes were the pasta & the octopus. The pasta was rich, flavorful, & clearly made with care, while the octopus was cooked perfectly tender, well seasoned, & beautifully presented. The Aperol Spritz was also a great choice for a warm day.

A spot I'd happily return to & recommend to anyone looking for delicious Italian inspired food in a welcoming setting.

Highlights: Pasta, octopus, terrace dining, Aperol Spritz, speedy service. 🍝🐙🍹

Food was amazing! The pasta was fresh, creamy & delicious. Wine was good as well. The pasta comes with a salad that was really good as well. Will definitely come back!

Bistro Amerigo is hands down one of my favorite Italian restaurants in the city. The atmosphere on Monkland Avenue is always vibrant, & the interior of the restaurant is cozy & romantic. The homemade pasta dishes are absolutely phenomenal, particularly the pappardelle & the classic carbonara. The wine list is extensive & pairs beautifully with the food. Exceptional service every time.

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 😋

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!
