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.

Hidden gem! Possibly the best Italian food I've ever had outside of Italy. This small bistro serves uncompromising & incredibly flavorful Italian dishes in a cozy setting. I had the grilled Octopus which was absolutely amazing. Cannot recommend enough!

Such a wonderful family owned restaurant. The food is delicious,service warm & efficient. It has small seating & a very cozy atmosphere, first come first serve. I enjoyed myself so much. I can't remember enjoying a restaurant to that level. Highly recommend.

What a great place for a tasty meal. First time I went tonight & wow! The food was delicious! Italian style decor that makes you actually feel like you're in a small resto in rome, & the atmosphere is just very peaceful even when its a full house. I tried the ravioli & it was spectacular. My friend had the special meat platter & it was really filling (don't remember the name of it). Portions are very generous compared to most places with similar menus. They have an outdoor terrace & seating at the bar as well. Will definitely go back to try everything else on the menu. Almost forgot to mention that they had homemade tiramisu that melts in your mouth. Mix that with an espresso & you have a match made in heaven. Highly recommend to anyone wanting to please your taste buds. Like & follow for more honest reviews 👍

A little pricier than other restaurants but the food is good. The first time I went, the waitress recommended the Seafood linguini with squid ink sauce. It was delicious. My second time there I had the special of the day which was rigatoni in tomato sauce with meatballs, ribs, & italian sausage. It was ok, nothing great but not bad. I am looking forward to going back & trying out some other a la carte dishes.

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

I don't regret going to this restaurant. I had fried calamari, octopus has a appetizer . The calamaris were perfectly cooked it would melt in the mouth. The octopus were fried & seasoned with balsamic fusion. It was simply delicious. We took a red wine from the Puglia region Trulli it was the perfect wine for the meal I choose which was the lamb shank with rapini & potatoes . Simply delicious!
I took the cheesecake with pistachios unique. Their espresso is the best which is comparable to the Napoletano gusto.
What can I say I really enjoyed their food & price was very good.
I recommend this restaurant!
