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.

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!

I really wanted to love this place. The ambience & decor are really nice & cozy. The service was really friendly & knowledgeable. Ultimately though, the food was only ok. We ordered the fried seafood platter &, while I enjoyed the calamari & shrimp, I thought the mussels & fish were not tasty at all. The flavors were too strong & it felt like I was eating old fish. As a main, I ordered the tiger shrimp ravioli & my partner ordered the pasta vongole. They were decent pasta dishes, but nothing extraordinary. & The two dishes & appetizer set us back about $130 after tax & tip, which I felt was a huge amount. Overall, I'd recommend trying it at least once. I'm glad I tried it but I don't think I'll be coming back. The search for a great affordable pasta place is
