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.
Bistro America absolutely blew me away! They organized a beautiful, intimate private event for our club & everything was just perfect. The food was AMAZING-& I'm a tough critic!
The beet salad was OUT OF THIS WORLD, the focaccia was WOW, & the polpettes…ouf 😮?💨 My mama makes the best but these came very close (sorry guys but my mama's polpettes will always be #1). The pasta was cooked to perfection with just the right amount of cheese👌🏼& that dessert platter: STUNNING! I may have hogged the tiramisu because it's my favorite dessert & this one was juicy, creamy & absolutely delicious. I'm craving it again as I write this!
The service was impeccable. The atmosphere felt so homey & welcoming. I'm definitely coming back with friends & family.
Thank you Bistro America team for this unforgettable night!
Such a great vibe at this place. The food is so authentic & delicious. We went twice in two days! Be prepared to wait for dinner (or go in the afternoon like we did!) The best puttanesca I've ever had.
We always go to Amerigo, unfortunately, for some reason the food is not as good as it used to be. Service is good. Atmosphere is quite disturbing, the tables are too close to each other. Privacy while you are eating is totally impossible. Please do something in the bathrooms as it is filthy & smells pee.
Everything just tasted old & outdated. The tables are much too close together for comfort. Everybody is so close that you can hear everybody's conversation. It's quite noisy, & the restaurant itself seems very old, & quite dirty. I had high expectations & was greatly disappointed.

Un service fort sympathique, qui nous permet d'apprécier notre moment de détente chez Amerigo
Diner sur la terrasse en octobre a Montréal est un bonus
Les entrées étaient délicieuses.
Le loup était bon mais je m'attendais à ce que l'accompagnement soit chaud & non froid
Accompagnement délicieux cependant : petits pommes de terre & artichauts

Honestly one of the best Italian restaurants in the city, & very affordable! Staff is amazing, food is top, quality is amazing. You cannot go wrong! Thank you to Steve & his team!
Had the pollo parmigiana & it was outstanding. The polpette appetizers were absolutely amazing. Others at the table had spaghetti putanesca & the cavatelli with rapini & sausage. A+
Magnifico!!

Is this a best kept secret or what?!! I was visiting Montreal & friends showed me this spot. I went there twice. Everything is so delicious, you can't go wrong & great service!! I'll be back!
Amerigo on Monkland is a true neighborhood gem. The vibe felt straight out of New York-busy & lively, but still easy to chat. The ossobuco with saffron risotto was outstanding & instantly brought me back to Italy, while the tiramisu was the perfect finish. Great wine list with fair prices (loved the Aglianico!), & the service was excellent. They don't take reservations, but the wait was short & the stroll around the area made it even better. Can't wait to go back & try more dishes!
