We'll keep this one short & simple, like they do in Italy:
The dishes - authentic in the best possible way. It's like they have a portal to Napoli in the kitchen.
The portions - big (not America big, but EU big for sure) & respectful.
The taste - like we just discovered Italy. Like a small restaurant you find by mistake in a small village along the way to Milano, that becomes the star of your trip. Kudos to the kitchen crew👏
The service - exceptional. Noah didn't just serviced us, but hosted us the best way possible.
In a city that looks like it's in a middle of an identity crisis, the visit to Amerigo felt very real & authentic, the place was very welcoming, & this is the first spot we're sure to go back to during the trip.
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.
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.
Bistro Amerigo is hands down one of my favorite Italian restaurants in the city. The atmosphere on Monkland Avenue is always vibrant, & the interior of the restaurant is cozy & romantic. The homemade pasta dishes are absolutely phenomenal, particularly the pappardelle & the classic carbonara. The wine list is extensive & pairs beautifully with the food. Exceptional service every time.
Had an absolutely fantastic meal at Café Amerigo. Everything we ordered was so good.
The food is comforting, flavorful, & clearly made with care. You can really taste the quality of the ingredients, & the portions are generous without feeling heavy. It's the kind of place that feels authentic & unpretentious, yet delivers quality dishes that you'll think about long after you leave.
What really puts the experience over the top is the service. The staff are incredibly warm, attentive, & welcoming - the kind of hospitality that makes you feel like a regular even if it's your first visit. That level of genuine friendliness is rare & it makes the whole meal even more enjoyable.
The atmosphere is lively with that classic neighborhood café energy where everyone seems to be having a great time.
Honestly, everything was so good that we're already talking about planning another trip to Montreal just so we can eat here again. If you're visiting the city, Café Amerigo is absolutely worth making time for.
From the first course onward, the meal showed a clear sense of intention, favoring careful execution over unnecessary flair.
We started generously-both a salad & the soup of the day, a comforting minestrone that tasted like my Nonna had made it. That was followed by the two arancini on offer, each distinct & delicious.
For mains, restraint was not part of the plan. We were excited to hear about the off-menu item: crab-stuffed ravioli in a bisque-style sauce. It was rich without being overwhelming. The gorgonzola ravioli delivered a bold, deeply satisfying contrast. Both dishes wowed us thoroughly. Unapologetically indulgent.
A crisp white wine tied everything together beautifully-though sharing the entire bottle between two people turned out to be more of a commitment than expected 😅🍷
Dessert was non-negotiable: tiramisu & cannolo, both because you can't leave without trying them 🤷?♂?
The ambiance is inviting, the menu thoughtfully curated, & the service genuinely attentive. If it's been on your list, consider this a gentle nudge to finally make the visit. But, bring your appetite because you will be seriously full after this 😜
This restaurant exceeded our expectations in every way. The service was attentive without feeling rushed, & the staff checked in often enough that we always had what we needed.
We tried a wide range of dishes. For appetizers, we had the Polpette di Amerigo, Insalata di Polpo, & Mozzarella di Bufala. For pastas, we shared the Pappardelle Bolognese & Cavatelli Barese, & we also ordered the Costata di Vitello. It's honestly hard to choose a favorite because everything was cooked well & had great flavor.
We were here about two months ago, & I'm only writing this review now because I've had meatballs at a few other places since then… & nothing even comes close. Amerigo's meatballs are hands-down the best I've had at any restaurant.
If you're thinking about stopping by, do it. This place is a must-visit.
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!
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.
Finally-a truly refreshing Italian restaurant that dares to be different! Unique dishes like the Sardinian ragù set the tone for an exciting menu. Everything was executed to perfection: bursting with flavour, beautifully textured, & artfully presented. The ingredients were clearly fresh, & the service? Exceptionally warm & knowledgeable. Add to that a fantastic wine list featuring both classics & intriguing lesser-known varietals, & you've got yourself a genuinely lovely dining experience.
