Excellent service & amazing food!
I've only ever had the cavatelli's from Brama through delivery before this dine-in experience & it was so good I couldn't even imagine how it would taste fresh at the table. They really did not disappoint.
I spent about $275 for two people but I also paid for all the appetizers for 4 people & a drink.
Cavolo Riccio salad (Beets, goat cheese & apple in a kale salad): it was delicious & creamy but a little bit too sweet for me since I wanted something more refreshing. I was mind blown though because this salad tasted exactly like a CREAMSICLE.
Arancini: the sauce was good, everything had great texture, it wasn't dry, very cheese & fluffy. My friends loved it.
Octopus: very delicious, slightly tangy & sweet. The texture was perfect & I like the little pieces of potatoes in there.
Lamb chops: WOW. It was the star of the show. Comes with 3 pieces but you can add another piece for $9. The sauce was refreshing- minty I think, the lamb itself was seasoned to perfection, it wasn't too gamey, so tender & juicy. I would be happy just eating that all night.
Linguini seafood pasta: pasta was cooked just right, seafood was tender & the sauce was very light, very light on the salt & easy to eat. Delicious!
Bolognese Spaghettoni: the texture of this pasta was phenomenal. I love the bite it has, the sauce was delicious but very salty. I love salty foods so it was perfect for me but might be hard for the average Joe to eat.
Fettuccini Rosée: I normally do not get a plain rosée pasta since it's easy to make & seem so simple but WOW I regret not getting that myself. It was so good, flavours were perfectly balanced & I love the pasta shape.
Gnocchi Pancetta: I wasn't too wowed by this but maybe because the gnocchi was so soft & pillowy I was very surprised! I think it was a texture thing for me but I'm sure making gnocchi that soft must take a lot of skills so I would recommend it if you like soft gnocchi/foods!
The cavatelli with braised beef & mushroom was one of the best pasta I had in this city.
The taste is completely unique, & satisfying!
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🙏🏻🙏🏻🎉🎉
Absolutely amazing. Firstly, glad we reserved through friends because it was busy! Jess was an amazing help with ordering & recommendations. The food killed. Pizza with pancetta, fries, calamari, squid, salmon tartare, pasta (yes many) & the prime rib. Kids ate good & so did we. Great ambiance & 90s music. Beautiful.
Ordered the four cheese pizza & macaroni for pasta, calamari for appetizer that was paired with white wine. Food was good! The pasta was cooked al dente, the calarmari was just okay & I find the serving was a little small but over all it was a good dinner! Giving it a 4 star just because there was not enough parking space (street parking).
Absolutely amazing.
I went there tonight with some family for a joint birthday dinner, & I was flabbergasted.
The food is absolutely delicious. We had burrata, arancini & polpette as appetizers, to start. It's ACTUAL burrata, & not what most places claim is burrata when it's just a piece of fresh mozzarella, & it's slightly expensive but the portion size plus the actually what is advertised is crazy good value.
The arancini were magnificent, crunchy, tasty, full of cheese, in a wonderful sauce. The polpette were crazy tender & very flavorful. The sauce the polpette comes with is different from the one that comes with the arancini, which shows great attention to detail.
Our mains were just as delicious, the pizza dough had delicious crunch & bite, the ingredients were top notch, & the absolutely killer hot oil was the highlight of the whole thing, so much that we asked our waiter what was in it & he actually showed us (I could barely believe it!). The other guests had different pasta, & they were all out of this world. The gnocchi were soft & pillowy, the Mac a la Gigi was spectacular, & the fetuccine really tasted home made.
All in a small cozy space that is homey & comfortable.
& the best part? For the quality of food that you get, the PRICE is impossible to beat. Honestly, it's very affordable food. Almost too affordable, & most likely has to do with the location, which is a bit weird right at the line where VSL goes from industrial to residential, but more power to them, since they price their food very reasonably. In any other part of town our bill would've been 50% more expensive.
TL;DR - go there. You won't regret it.
Fantastic food great service by Alex my number 1 restaurant will definitely go back! From tartare to pizza to pasta it was all delicious😍😍😍
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!
Pasta was the best I have ever eaten. Pizza was delicious, but not extraordinary. Service was great & fast. Would go again.
Food was amazing! Was not too pricey & the place was very cute.We started with the arancini & it was phenomenal. Then for our main meal, my girlfriend & I shared the Macaroni Alla Gigi & the Pizza Funghi. Let me tell you both we're phenomenal. The pizza dough was airy & crisp, & the pasta was the just so good. The more bites I took of the pasta the better it got that's how good it was. Would definitely go back to this place!!!
This amazing spot, overnight, has become my new favourite. Staff is welcoming & friendly, with warm service as soon as you walk in (very important, as first impressions count for everything) but then followed by excellent food, top quality ingredients & special attention to presentation & recommendations are on point. Our lovely & kind server, George, was very pleasant & recommended the seafood pasta - one of the best I've ever had. Restaurant is clean & still feels new, I am already looking forward to going back. ❤? Keep up the good work, guys! You have a top notch establishment on your hands! 🙌🏼
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!

Probably the best pasta in Montreal. Never disappoints. I hope the linguini gamberi never leaves the menu!
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.
Best pizza in Canada & the pasta is even better. Can't wait to go back. What a hidden gem. Cute bar, very clean & great staff. Highly recommend.
