La pizza, les pâtes, les desserts, tout était parfaitement délicieux! Merci pour la belle découverte de ce restaurant qui vaut le détour!
Nous étions 5 adultes & le repas comme le service était fabuleux, nous avons apprécié autant les entrées que le repas principal & que dire du dessert, juste wow
A découvrir sans fautes. Employées sympatique & attentionnées. Nourriture excellente : Pâtes fraiche, de belle portion, excellent gout. Mon dessert était un canolli excellent aussi. Chaque plat que la serveuse apportait au table voisine me donnais le gôut de les manger... j'y retourne bientôt.
This was our first time dining at Brama, & we had a wonderful experience. The decor was tasteful & created a really cozy atmosphere. The waiting staff were friendly, attentive & fully bilingual, which made everything feel very welcoming. The pizzas were excellent & the dessert was the highlight… hands down the best tiramisu we've ever had, even compared to some we've tried in Italy. We'll definitely be back!
Last night, we had the pleasure of enjoying a wonderful meal with friends at Brama. While it was their first visit, we had dined there several times before. The stakes were high, as all of our friends are Italian (unlike my husband & I), & their opinion of a restaurant representing their native cuisine mattered greatly. We were a group of four couples.
We began with the calamari, which was light & crispy, served with a flavorful tarragon mayo. While we thoroughly enjoyed it, the portion felt a bit small for the price. The other three couples opted for the octopus salad, beautifully presented with fresh, delicious ingredients. It was a definite crowd-pleaser.
For the main courses, our group enjoyed a variety of pizzas & pastas, all of which were delicious. We ordered the Quattro Pizza, which surprisingly featured a blend of six cheeses, caramelized onions, & arugula. Although I typically don't enjoy salad on pizza-& didn't notice this ingredient listed on the menu-it turned out to be a pleasant surprise. The soft, airy dough with just the right amount of crispness was outstanding, especially paired with the hot honey on the side.
We also shared the ricotta cavatelli with beef cheeks, mushrooms, truffle sauce, & fior di latte-something our friends also ordered. This dish is truly a staple at Brama & an absolute winner. The melding of flavors was mouthwatering & not to be missed.
Another couple enjoyed the cavatelli with spicy sausage & raved about it as well. Additional dishes included a variety of pizzas-Soppressata, Mortadolce, & Salsiccia-a carnivore's dream that our group found flavorful & satisfying.
We toasted the evening with a Ripasso & a Chianti wine, along with Italian Birra Moretti, Heineken, & Sol beers.
Dessert featured carrot cake, hazelnut cheesecake, & a mixed berry gelato. All were enjoyable; however, the carrot cake-normally a favorite of mine-fell a bit short. It was slightly dry & lacked flavor, with minimal icing.
Overall, it was a lovely conclusion to a meal that satisfied our palates & made me proud of my restaurant choice. My Italian friends were genuinely impressed & confirmed they would definitely return.
A special mention goes to Courtney, our energetic & engaging server, who was friendly, professional, & knowledgeable, offering thoughtful details on every dish.
As always, John, the master chef, delivered a stellar experience that truly impressed our Italian guests.
The vibrant staff, inviting atmosphere, & exceptional food combined to create a memorable evening we won't soon forget.
Thank you🙏🏻🙏🏻🎉🎉
A hidden gem! We were a group of seven. Everything from the appetizers to the mains & the desserts were absolutely delicious. If you're a group, I highly recommend ordering a few appetizers, salads & meals (what we did) to share because everything on the menu is incredible. Service was also fantastic & friendly. Will definitely be going back! There were large groups of 20+ that were loud so it was a little difficult to hear, but not the restaurant's fault! I still give 5 stars across the board for this place!!!
Hands down the best Italian restaurant in Montreal. The pasta tastes like it's straight out of Italy - perfectly al dente with rich, authentic sauces. The atmosphere is cozy yet elegant, & the staff make you feel like family. Every dish, from the antipasti to dessert, was flawless. A must-visit if you love true Italian food!
Fresh pasta, delicious octopus & decadent lamb chops! The pistachio cheesecake is a must for dessert!
It's my second time here & I enjoyed it just as much as I did the first time. The food was exceptional.

Brama has quickly become my favorite Italian restaurant in Montreal. The food is incredible, both in taste & quality. The service is great & owner is very nice!
I would recommend sharing a bunch of plates to try as much as possible. Everything is so delicious, from the starters to the desserts.
My favorite is the cavatelli al guanciale - & that's coming from a girl who doesn't usually like mushrooms. Also their oysters are the best I've had!
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!
This is my 3rd visit here & I must say the food & service never fail. Everything tastes amazing it's like the chef had magic hands!!! A must try!! & once you try you won't be able to get enough. I'm not a cheese cake or dessert person at that but their pistachio cheesecake is out of this world.
Was impressed with the reviews & thought I'd give this place a try. We were warmly greeted at the door & promptly sat at our table. We were immediately advised of some items not available on tonight's menu. George our waiter was kind & patient & we really enjoyed his service. He told us about tonight's specials & left us time to make our decisions. We shared the mortadolce pizza as an appetizer. The flavours were very good but I think the hydration of the dough wasn't high enough. I think a bit more work on the dough recipe is warranted. The pasta plates were the real winners. My wife's Mac a la Gigi was delicious. A bit of spice & a complex tomato sauce. Was a special dish. My Cavatelli with beef cheeks was also incredible. The complexity of the sauce teemed with the super tender & delectable beef cheeks was a dish I will crave. For dessert we shared the pain perdu. It was good with its honey & nuts with cinnamon. & a scoop of ice cream. Reminded me of the taste of Loukoumades. Prices were reasonable & a revisit is a must. Highly recommended.
Amazing restaurant ! The food here is absolutely delicious ,from appetizers to desserts, this restaurant exceeded all our expectations The staff were so friendly ! Thank you Chef John :)
Excellent service & plaisir gastronomique pour les 5 sens! Pizza, pâtes fraîches, sauces délicieuses, sans oublier les desserts incontournables. Merci pour ce délicieux lunch & à bientôt!
This place is as good as people are saying. My boyfriend & I dined in & we ordered the polpette & arancini as starters, I ordered the fettuccini rosée & he got the prosciutto arugula pizza, & we shared a hazelnut cheesecake slice for dessert. All were very, very good. Our waiter Georges was very attentive & provided great service. He told us all the pasta is made on site, even the cheesecake. Big respect for that. The interior is on the smaller side & has a modern design yet still cozy with string lights & big windows. We went on a rainy day & it was so nice. They were playing afrobeats for ambiance which is my favourite, nothing beats good food & good music. The bathroom is very clean, which in my opinion shows that they really care about their business & their clients. Apparently you can reserve the whole place for events, & of course they do catering, for large events as well. They have a wider menu for catering than for dine in. It was on the expensive side for us, our bill came to about 120$. A nice treat once in a while.
Such an amazing experience! The food was fantastic & the service was truly outstanding. Our server & the chef went above & beyond to give our table an unforgettable experience. The appetizers, entrées & the desserts were all phenomenal!
Brama is a must for anyone wanting to taste great pizza, pasta, desserts & more! Whether you're picking up an order or eating in, you'll never be disappointed. This is my go to spot for great food in Montreal.
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!
