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!
Rarement un restaurant m'a autant impressionné. Chaque plat est un voyage, mais surtout une révélation, des saveurs authentiques, maîtrisées à la perfection, avec une finesse & une profondeur que j'ai rarement retrouvées, même en Italie.
Le chef est tout simplement une perle rare, un véritable artiste. On sent la passion, le respect des traditions & en même temps une créativité exceptionnelle. Rien n'est laissé au hasard, des ingrédients à la cuisson, tout est exécuté avec une précision remarquable.
Ce restaurant ne se contente pas de servir de la cuisine italienne, il l'élève à un autre niveau. Une adresse incontournable, mémorable, & sans hésitation l'un des meilleurs restaurants italiens que j'ai eu la chance de découvrir.

Fantastic Italian food with authentic flavors! Everything was fresh, flavorful & beautifully prepared. It was delicious, warm atmosphere & excellent service. Can't wait to come back!!!
Clairement l'un des meilleurs restaurants italiens que j'ai mangés. Commande livrée via Uber Eats, tout était ultra frais, parfaitement emballé & encore chaud à l'arrivée (ce qui mérite d'être souligné). Les saveurs sont authentiques, les portions généreuses & la qualité est au rendez-vous du début à la fin. En plus de ça, le service est impeccable & professionnel. Honnêtement, une très belle découverte

Définitivement un des meilleurs restaurants Italiens en ville! À 5, on s'est séparé plusieurs entrées (burrata, polpettes, aranchini, pieuvre, calmars frits, salade césar), puis les cavatellis, les gnocchis & la pizza mortadolce. Tout était succulent! J'enlève une étoile pour le service (ne venait pas nous voir souvent, long avant d'avoir de l'eau, un drink oublié). On a tout de même adoré notre soirée. 😊
Brama is, without a doubt, the best restaurant I've ever been to in Montreal! As a big foodie, I've tried countless places, & nothing compares to the incredible flavors & quality here. Every dish is thoughtfully prepared, perfectly balanced, & bursting with taste. I can confidently say it's my #1 favorite spot in the city! Hands down! If you love food that truly excites your palate, Brama is an absolute must-try!
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!!!
Recommandé! Les pizzas étaient excellentes, en plus d'être bien servit. Les choix de pizzas se demarquent des autres restaurants mais c'est surtout la qualité & le gout qui ont conquit mon coeur!
