Review Summary

Brama is widely celebrated for authentic Italian flavors, fresh ingredients, and thoughtful preparations that elevate Italian classics. The menu features handmade pastas such as cavatelli with braised beef and mushrooms, gnocchi, and other favorites, along with airy pizzas, burrata, calamari, octopus, and desserts like tiramisu and pistachio cheesecake, all described as vibrant, well balanced and satisfying. The dining room feels warm, cozy and intimate, with a welcoming atmosphere that many call charming and reminiscent of a home kitchen. Service is repeatedly praised as attentive, friendly and knowledgeable, with staff who explain dishes and accommodate dietary preferences, while a few reviews note occasional pacing issues or small portions for the price. The overall impression is that the kitchen executes with precision and passion, delivering fresh, flavorful dishes that justify the price and earn frequent suggestions to share several plates to sample a broad range. Some reviews also highlight the restaurant as a hidden gem and one of the best Italian spots in the city, with guests eager to return and recommend Brama to friends.

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.

The food was super delicious!!! I wish I had taken a picture of the delicious pasta but I was too hungry. Cute cozy atmosphere. The owner even gave us these tasty shots that tasted just like bubble gum. The waitress missed a few things but it was busy & she was still very kind. I would definitely recommend this place if you're looking for a delicious meal.

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!"

Un trésor caché à Montréal : Brama Pour la deuxième année consécutive, notre équipe a choisi le restaurant Brama pour célébrer notre souper de Noël, & encore une fois, c'était l'endroit parfait! L'expérience culinaire est tout simplement inégalable. Ce restaurant italien excelle dans chaque plat. Nous avons commencé avec une incroyable salade de betterave, suivie d'une salade César & du meilleur tartare de saumon que j'aie jamais mangé. Les arancinis étaient divins, tout comme les polpettes. Pour les plats principaux, les pâtes étaient spectaculaires. Nous avons dégusté des cavatellis & le fameux Mac GiGi, & chaque bouchée était un pur délice. Les pizzas Américaine & Margarita ont également été un gros coup de coeur. Le service a ajouté à la magie de la soirée. Georges & Jessie, nos serveurs, étaient attentifs & chaleureux. Quant à Elio, notre barman, il a su concocter des cocktails parfaitement adaptés à nos goûts & a même pris le temps de capturer une photo de groupe mémorable. Le décor de Brama est enchanteur : à la fois cozy & romantique, il crée une ambiance parfaite pour toutes les occasions. & que dire de l'ambiance musicale? Elle a charmé toute notre équipe. Je recommande sans hésiter ce joyau bien caché de Montréal. Merci, Brama, pour une soirée inoubliable!

Brama is by far the best Italian restaurant in Montreal! Chef John is the most hospitable cher/owner, making you feel welcomed & at home every time. The food is always top notch, especially the grilled octopus entrée & the Cavatelli braised beef pasta bowl (to die for!). Not to mention, their heavenly cheese cake to top it all off. Can't recommend this place enough!
