Brama Restaurant Italien is described as delivering authentic Italian cooking with fresh, well balanced dishes ranging from vibrant pastas and delicious pizzas to standout seafood. The menu highlights include cavatelli, calamari, octopus, burrata, pistachio cheesecake, tiramisu and a ribeye that many feel is outstanding. Service is repeatedly praised for being attentive, friendly and professional, contributing to a warm, welcoming and cozy atmosphere, though a few visits note the space can be a bit noisy or casual compared with the level of the food. Guests consistently call Brama a hidden gem and one of the city's best Italian spots, offering good value and a willingness to return for more, whether dining in or ordering takeout.
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!
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.
We were a party of 4, 4 different nationalities; Brazilian, French from France, French from Québec & an Italian. Pièce de résistance was their food (calamari, gnocchi, ceasar salad, Margherita pizza & linguini), staff service & establishment. A win win restaurant for typical homemade Italian to soothe the soul. Keep up the amazing work!

Excellents service & qualité de nourriture. Ça mérite amplement ses 5 étoiles. Je dois avouer que c'est parmi les meilleurs restaurants italiens que j'ai essayé jusqu'à présent. Bon travail!
L'ambiance est chaleureuse & les serveuses sont très gentilles & à l'écoute.
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!
