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.
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!
Food & service are amazing. The only thing is the waiting time, but once you sit & taste the food it's worth it. If there was an option to reserve a table I would give it 5 stars.
Loved the food! Came here as a group of 4 on a Tuesday evening. We ordered a lot of food & we're very pleased! The service was very family style & laid back, the restaurant is small & cozy. The prices are reasonable but mainly the food was very tasty!
All the pasta was good, the appetizers as well.
We had the calamari, mozzarella di bufalla, shrimp ravioli, duck ragout pasta, Italian sausage pasta & braised beef. All delicious! Thank you
overall pretty goood but nothing super amazing (for me at least). tried the fried calamari, mushroom truffle gnocchi, linguini w clam, cavatelli barese & chicken parm. yeah it was all p good :) hard to pick fave cuz they're all so different but it was good to have the variety cuz i think i woulda gotten bored w just one
fyi no reservations. waited 40mins on a friday evening
Little gem in my neighbourhood !!! Been hearing about it for years & finally tried it out with girls who meet once a month for lunch. The entire experience was fabulous.......service was first class, food exeptional, atmosphere relaxed & fun. Owners daughter was our server & boy was she awesome. The food feels like you at a Nona's home eating !!! Delicious....& we decided its our restaurant every month !!!
One of my favorite hidden gems in town. I dinned in last night for the 3rd time, & now that I've tried a fair amount of dishes, I can say not a single dish on that menu will be disappointing. Everything is sooo delicious. My favs: the lamb & the clams linguini 10/10
