Bocca di Lupo is a new Italian restaurant in Montréal offering cuisine inspired by different regions of Italy. In a stylish yet welcoming setting, it serves homemade dishes, fresh pasta, and a menu focused on quality ingredients and authentic flavors.
Overall, guests praise Bocca Di Lupo for delicious food and friendly, attentive service. Mezze rigatoni and the beet with whipped ricotta are frequently called standout items, and the crudo and cheesecake get strong praise as well. The setting is described as beautiful with a welcoming vibe, the bar area is highlighted, and the Old Port location is noted as a great spot for a memorable meal with good drinks and overall high quality.
The response is honestly laughable to bad reviews. Instead of addressing the issues, you dismiss negative feedback & report it.
That says everything. When criticism gets shut down instead of taken seriously, it's clear the focus is on protecting an image, not improving the experience.
Maybe spend less time trying to silence reviews & more time fixing what customers are actually complaining about.
Memorable evening & can't wait to return! Very authentic, hand-made fresh pasta (worth the cheat meal), beautifully decorated & very affordable! Looking forward to my next visit 🍝😁
This cozy restaurant was absolutely fantastic. The owners & staff were incredibly attentive. The atmosphere is convivial. Classic Italian dishes.The dishes were beautifully presented. A good wine list.The Melanzane alla Parmigiana was fresh & perfectly seasoned. I highly recommend it.
J'ai découvert ce nouveau restaurant & honnêtement… wow. J'ai pris le branzino, & les saveurs étaient complètement hors du commun,facilement un 12/10. Chaque bouchée était parfaitement équilibrée.
Mention spéciale pour notre serveur Maurice, l'attention aux détails autant dans la présentation que dans le service. L'endroit est élégant, avec une ambiance qui rend l'expérience encore plus agréable.
Horrible place, horrible service. It doesn't even feel like a real restaurant, more like a closed circle than an actual crowd of paying customers.
The five-star reviews make no sense once you experience it yourself. There's a clear disconnect between the hype & the reality.
The food is bad, plain & simple. No authenticity, no quality, nothing that justifies the price. & the vibe? Even worse. Forced, artificial, & uncomfortable from start to finish.
This place is all image & no substance. Save your money.
To the owners: Calling a negative review'non-genuine' instead of addressing it is exactly the kind of response I expected. This was a real visit, & dismissing it just reinforces everything I said.
If your first instinct is to deny & report rather than take accountability, that says more about your business than my review ever could.
Do better.

How they have the nerve to call this place Italian is beyond me. Nothing about it reflects Italian cuisine or hospitality.
The service is abysmal. The staff act like they're doing you a favor just by acknowledging you, with an attitude that borders on contempt. It feels more like a curated'scene' than a restaurant that actually cares about its guests.
The food is simply inexcusable. Not just disappointing-genuinely unpleasant. I ordered seafood that smelled off & ended up feeling sick afterward. That's not bad dining, that's unacceptable.
The atmosphere doesn't help either. It feels staged & artificial, like the room is filled with insiders rather than real customers. There's no authenticity, no warmth-just a forced, hollow vibe.
& those 5-star reviews? Hard to take them seriously. It honestly feels like they're coming from employees or people tied to the place, not genuine customers.
Save your money. There are far better options that actually respect both the cuisine & the people they serve.
Response to the owner: Calling a negative review'non-genuine' instead of addressing it is easier, I guess. This was a real visit, & the issues I mentioned stand. If your first instinct is to deny rather than reflect, that explains the experience perfectly.
Amazing food , we had branzino & many different pastas. Everything we tried was delicious. Cheese cake was the best we've ever eaten. Good service & wonderful atmosphere. Highly recommend it.
