I do not remember the last time I wrote a review for a restaurant . Went to dinner with my wife at Brama. One of our friends recommended it.
Being of Italian descent, I don't often eat at Italian restaurants & often times get disappointed.
Started with grilled octopus & kale salad.
Probably the best grilled octopus I ever had. Kale salad was perfectly balanced. Both portions were very generous.
Then we ordered the mac alla Gigi pasta & grilled salmon.
Hands down one of the best grilled salmon dishes I have eaten . The pasta was outstanding.
All the food was served hot & ingredients extremely fresh. Price point very reasonable in today's market for the quality of food received.
Thank you to John for the incredible culinary experience. Complimenti to you & your staff .
I must also acknowledge the service we received from our waitress. I apologize for not asking your name.
Will definitely be back very soon & I will get your name next time!

We stumbled upon this restaurant by chance, looking for an alternative to our usual Pizza 900-& we're so glad we did! It's just a five-minute walk from home, & it's quickly become a favorite. We've ordered several times, & the quality has been consistently excellent. The pizzas are perfectly cooked with fresh, high-quality ingredients. My sister tried the gnocchi & couldn't stop raving about them. A great local gem we're happy to have discovered!View more
Perfect little place for an out of this world pizza & pasta experience. Home made pasta, fresh ingredients, perfect chewy pizza dough. Give it a try oh & try the pistachio cheese cake. A must. Will be back.View more
Absolutely phenomenal experience at Brama!
From start to finish, everything was exceptional. The burrata was bursting with flavour & served with perfectly grilled, seasoned baguette slices-truly a standout. The radicchio salad was unbelievable, & the cavatelli? To die for.
Service was outstanding-our waitress was warm & attentive, & we were lucky enough to meet the chef, who not only came out to chat with us but also generously treated us to two incredible desserts.
The tiramisu was easily one of the best I've ever had, but the pistachio cheesecake was next level. Light, perfectly baked, topped with fresh cream & a hint of orange blossom-this dessert changed my life.
I can't wait to go back. 100/100! Highly recommend!View more
We came here on a Friday afternoon & ordered two pasta dishes to go. The location is industrial, with free but limited street parking only.
The restaurant has a small & cozy dine in area & separate area for take out orders.
We tried the pappardelle Bolognese & cavatelli al guanciale. We noticed for some items the pricing online differed from the menu on site - the prices were cheaper online. I am not sure if this is because the menu wasn't updated or perhaps there is a different charge for dining on site.
We immediately went to the car & tasted the food, the pappardelle is described as cooked in a'slow cooked meat sauce with beef veal, pork & fennel sausage' however the sauce tasted more like plain tomato & was slightly too acidic. It was missing some sweetness & there wasn't nearly enough noticeable meat. The pasta was otherwise well cooked but this was an average dish. I would not re-order.
The cavatelli on the other hand was extremely flavorful, a rich creamy sauce that was very decadent. The only drawback was the shape of the pasta, these looked like fat maggots.
In terms of pricing & portion, I thought this was pretty fair since this is supposed to be fresh handmade pasta.
The location itself was difficult to get to for us & the size of the restaurant was quite small for dine in, we would have to make sure we reserve in advance if we planned on coming back.View more
We ordered take out from here & the food was delicious. The pizzas are a bit pricey for the size but I guess on par with other pizzerias. The ingredients were fresh & full of flavour. The other appetizers were good too. We feel the pizzas probably would've been best to have had there right out of the oven, & one time we will try eating there as my husband said the restaurant is very nice & service is too.View more
Absolutely blown away by this place! As someone who's extremely particular about food, I rarely give 5-star reviews, but this restaurant deserves it. The attention to detail in every dish was impeccable. The ingredients were fresh, & the flavors were perfectly balanced-nothing too overpowering or bland. The chef clearly knows how to bring out the best in each component. The service was top-notch, too-attentive without being intrusive, & they really made an effort to customize my order to my preferences. It's hard to find a spot that satisfies someone like me, but this place absolutely nailed it. Highly recommend!"View more
The pizza was just okay. Fresh ingredients but all the toppings were stuck to the cheese. The Toasted Marshmallow gelato had little chunks of ice in it. Not a fan & it's a small portion for 7CAD. The star of the show is the MUSIC & the PASTA. Wow that pasta was definitely a 9/10. The portion was decently good, the flavor was good. Get the Linguine or Mac. Thank me later. My party enjoyed only the Margherita pizza but you will need to add chili oil & parm. The vibes are good. The staff was kind. The pasta & music saved the day. Skip on the pizza. Skip on the gelato imho.View more
I ordered by UberEats & it was absolutely incredible. Fresh & good quality ingredients. Generous portions. Will order here again!View more
Amazing pizza. I've tried 3 types (Margherita, Vegetarian, Sopresatta), & they were all great. Dough is fantastic, almost naan-like. Fresh pasta was good too, but the pizza was insane.View more
I cannot put into words how spectacularly outstanding this place is in every conceivable respect. Everything I am about to say doesn't even scratch the surface of what you can expect from this place. My girlfriend & I have gone 3 times in just the last 7 days because we have been positively floored by absolutely everything we have had. At this point we're just going down the menu & are continuously getting baffled by how exceptional every new dish we try from this place is. There is truly no restaurant I have ever tried that exudes such passion & love for delicious food of the utmost quality as Brama. Every dish is made fresh, in house with sourced ingredients of the utmost quality imported directly from Italy. The pizzas are absolutely to die for made on fresh homemade pizza dough the Italian way as God intended. The pastas are all freshly made in house from scratch & lord have mercy can you taste it. The noodles are always perfectly aldente, the gnocchi are fluffy pillows of pure ecstasy, the radicchio salad still has me & my girlfriend fantasizing about it, & the homemade pistachio cheesecake is just inexplicably exceptional. Even the coffee is among the best you'll have. John & the team take everything you love about Italian cuisine & do it leagues better than what should be humanly possible. Though the food is worthy of a master's thesis in Italian culinary perfection unto itself, I cannot post this review without highlighting with the utmost gratitude & respect the absolutely outstanding staff & consequent service you will get here. Everybody who works at Brama is exceptionally kind, respectful, professional, provides fast service & clearly has passion for the restaurant they work for. I have never seen anything like it. You've really outdone yourself John. Though we only met you this week, you will always have our support. Keep doing what you're doing & never lose that passion. The world needs more chefs like you.View more
Omg. SO YUMMY!! First time trying this resto, via Uber Eats, food was almost cold (no fault of anyone but traffic) & WOW! The food tastes AMAZING!! Ingredients felt fresh. Great balance between fatty cochon & fresh herbs & aromatics. We can't wait to visit the restaurant sur place.View more
This restaurant was recommended by a friend & it did not disappoint. Located in an industrial building, the food was fresh & delicious.View more
I had a wonderful experience at this restaurant. The Burrata was a beautiful appetizer to share with my partner. The Burrata was fresh & the salad that came with it was delicious. The Cavatelli dish was a delight. The portion was generous, the braised beef cheek melted in my mouth. The sauce was flavorful. This dish is one of my favorites. The linguine al Pollo was an excellent dish as well. The hot meals arrived steaming at the table, we could not ask for anything better. The service was impeccable, the staff were courteous & very kind. This restaurant is worth discovering. The only downside we noticed was that it got cold quickly inside when the delivery people or customers entered.View more
The best food in town. Their cavatelli pasta is the best pasta I ever ate. They also have the best cheesecake in town. It's super clean & fresh. & the team makes sure you leave the place satisfied.View more
Literally the best restaurant in Montreal! Food is incredible & fresh. Highly recommendView more
We ordered from Brama last week & everything was phenomenal! The pizza was delicious & the Cesar salad was one of the best I've ever had in my life. The salad was made of crunchy, fresh lettuce, bacon bits that will convert a veg into non veg for the night (me, oups!) & fresh & flavourful croutons. We will be ordering again today & I'm very excited.View more
Great food, fresh & tasty. Order through Uber & never dissapointed. Upset that the Brama Club has been removed from the menu.. sadness...View more
This isn't the first time I eat Chef John's food, but the first time dining at the restaurant.
Eating fresh from the kitchen is an entirely different experience.
The Aranchini are perfect. The chicken parm was the best I've ever had in my life.
The pasta is always served al dente.
The cavatelli, to die for.
For dessert, homemade cheesecake & canolli, both amazing.
You can tell the kitchen works with passion as everything on the menu tastes & smells like love.
Can't wait to be back.
Thanks Chef!View more
