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.

Nourriture savoureuse, service impeccable. Le risotto était parfait & bien crémeux comme j'aime ! La dernière fois que j'ai mangé comme ça c'était à Rome. Je le recommande à 100%
Authentic Italian, wines that are not found anywhere in the city. A truly Italian experience in Montreal with a very humble home feeling. Recommended 100% 5 stats +++
A hidden gem in NDG! As a longtime local, I'm thrilled to have finally discovered this fantastic Italian spot. The service was outstanding, especially for our group of three with visual impairments-the staff went above & beyond. Food was absolutely delicious! Highlights included the tender ribs, flavorful rapini, chicken Parmesan with a creamy zucchini risotto, & cannolis that hit the spot. Will definitely be back for the tiramisu next time 😋. Highly recommend this restaurant for a warm, welcoming meal!
Bistro Amerigo is okay. The veal meatballs were the highlight of the meal. Although they were not exceptional, the tomato sauce was rich in flavor & the veal was pretty good. The squid ink pasta could have been better; the sauce had too much oil, & lacked depth in flavor. The complementary salad was nice & refreshing. I do feel, however, that the service could have been much better. Our waiter was a little rude & condescending. We did not feel heard, not welcome. All in all, I recommend this restaurant for the people that are looking for simple italian dishes & a somewhat nice atmosphere.
Simply incredible! Im a sucker for good authentic italian food & have been to italy a few times & this place hits the spot just right. Its cozy & they don't take reservations, so be aware of that. The food is awesome, the service is not fussy but very nice, efficient & friendly. I especially recommend their papardelle at ragu (veal sauce) which slapped. We'll be back to try the rest of the menu
I really enjoyed my experience at Amerigo. The place is so cute, charming & homey. The gnocchi was sooooo good! Id go back just for that. Not to disregard all the other wonderful items we ate. The polpettes were also a great hit. I would definitely recommend!
What an unforgettable dining experience! From the moment we sat down, we were taken care of by Roberto, who was an absolute gem of a server-sweet, warm, & authentic. He made us laugh, told stories like everyone's Nonno, & made us feel right at home.
The food was phenomenal. We started with the veal meatball-tender, rich, & perfectly seasoned. The seafood platter was fresh & generous, & the linguine with sardines was a standout-bold, flavorful, & done just right. We finished with a crisp, creamy cannoli that hit the spot.
The ambience was exactly what you'd want for a cozy Italian dinner: dim lighting, a little loud, but so familiar it felt like a big family gathering. Highly recommend-can't wait to come back!
Not too impressed with the place. I had Gnocchi with the soup & both were good. My girlfriend had Cavatelli with the salad. Salad was pretty basic & missing dressing so a bit dry. The cavatelli was pretty underwhelming too. I'd definitely recommend going for the soup & there might be better pasta dishes to try on the menu than these two. Service was great & quick.
A perfect neighborhood restaurant. Cozy on a fall evening. The service is always friendly & decontracte but precise & on point. Small menu but every dish is perfection. Highly recommended
Overall & amazing performance experience. Although they do not take reservations & it can be a wait, the food & services make up for it. Portions are amazing & services is phenomenal. Food comes fast & the staff is always checking in to make sure everything is perfect! I would definitely recommend!
