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.

I'm so glad my friend brought me here! I've never been to Italy, but this feels like the closest thing to it. The food, the atmosphere, & the service were all immaculate-truly nothing negative to say. This is easily the best Italian comfort food I've ever had. Thank you so much for such a wonderful experience-I'll definitely be coming back very soon!

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.

Quel excellent resto de quartier! Mon restaurant préféré , à y aller les yeux fermés! Ingrédients authentiques, plats savoureux, ambiance décontractée, j'adore. Le chef nous a proposé des pâtes au homard qui n'étaient pas sur le menu …. spectaculaires!!! J'y vais régulièrement & tout est délicieux. J'ai déjà hâte à ma prochaine visite ! Allez-y avant que cet endroit ne devienne trop connu & inaccessible !

Hard to not be impressed with this place. Food is consistently fantastic & the portions are great. The staff is very attentive & extremely friendly. The bar makes some great drinks(I recommend the spicy Margarita) & the beer that they important is really good. I met the chef, John & gave him my compliments, the flavors are outstanding. Brama is a hidden gem, & if you haven't been there, go, you won't regret it.

We had a great experience here! Our server Courtney was lovely, she had great recommendations & knowledge of the menu. The cocktail that was their version of a spicy margarita was delicious. All the food we had was great & came out quickly. Would definitely recommend to anyone that loves quality Italian food.

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!

My second visit to Brama was just as good as the first! This time we ate the ribeye cooked medium rare & perfectly seasoned, the mac alla Gigi & a Caesar salad. It was 10/10 delicious, I can't recommend this place enough if you're in the area
