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.

Quelle belle découverte sur Monkland. Ce restaurant est devenu un incontournable pour moi. Chaque plat est préparé avec soin & cela se goûte immédiatement.

L'ambiance est chaleureuse & parfaite pour passer un bon moment. J'ai particulièrement apprécié le pain grillé servi avec de l'huile d'olive, c'était simple & absolument délicieux.

Le tiramisu était tout simplement parfait pour terminer le repas sur une note sucrée. Je recommande vivement cet endroit à tous ceux qui cherchent une cuisine authentique & réconfortante dans le quartier.

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. 🍝🐙🍹

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.

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.
