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.

Brama has quickly become my favorite Italian restaurant in Montreal. The food is incredible, both in taste & quality. The service is great & owner is very nice!

I would recommend sharing a bunch of plates to try as much as possible. Everything is so delicious, from the starters to the desserts.

My favorite is the cavatelli al guanciale - & that's coming from a girl who doesn't usually like mushrooms. Also their oysters are the best I've had!

First & foremost, this restaurant is a true gem. Do not let yourself be dissuaded by the neighbourhood. Amidst an industrial wasteland, you step inside & are immediately enchanted by the warm lighting, the inviting aromas, & the smiling, welcoming staff. It was our first visit, & we were served by Jessica, who was wonderful, personable, & exceptionally gracious.

We started with the Cavolo Riccio - a beet & kale salad - & it was the best salad I have ever had. Not a fan of kale? Think again. I would gladly eat this for breakfast, lunch, & dinner, seven days a week.

We then moved on to the pizzas, both of which were excellent. We tried the Funghi & the Carnivora, & each was perfectly cooked, flavorful, & satisfying. They were served with two sides of bomba: a classic version & a second, sweetened with a hint of honey - both delicious.

Everything was simply outstanding.
We will definitely be returning to this wonderful establishment.

Absolutely phenomenal experience at Brama!
From start to finish, everything was exceptional. The burrata was bursting with flavour & served with perfectly grilled, seasoned baguette slices-truly a standout. The radicchio salad was unbelievable, & the cavatelli? To die for.

Service was outstanding-our waitress was warm & attentive, & we were lucky enough to meet the chef, who not only came out to chat with us but also generously treated us to two incredible desserts.

The tiramisu was easily one of the best I've ever had, but the pistachio cheesecake was next level. Light, perfectly baked, topped with fresh cream & a hint of orange blossom-this dessert changed my life.

I can't wait to go back. 100/100! Highly recommend!

We came here on a Friday afternoon & ordered two pasta dishes to go. The location is industrial, with free but limited street parking only.

The restaurant has a small & cozy dine in area & separate area for take out orders.

We tried the pappardelle Bolognese & cavatelli al guanciale. We noticed for some items the pricing online differed from the menu on site - the prices were cheaper online. I am not sure if this is because the menu wasn't updated or perhaps there is a different charge for dining on site.

We immediately went to the car & tasted the food, the pappardelle is described as cooked in a'slow cooked meat sauce with beef veal, pork & fennel sausage' however the sauce tasted more like plain tomato & was slightly too acidic. It was missing some sweetness & there wasn't nearly enough noticeable meat. The pasta was otherwise well cooked but this was an average dish. I would not re-order.

The cavatelli on the other hand was extremely flavorful, a rich creamy sauce that was very decadent. The only drawback was the shape of the pasta, these looked like fat maggots.

In terms of pricing & portion, I thought this was pretty fair since this is supposed to be fresh handmade pasta.

The location itself was difficult to get to for us & the size of the restaurant was quite small for dine in, we would have to make sure we reserve in advance if we planned on coming back.

You can't go wrong with a meal at Brama. Whether it's for pizza, pasta, or salads, you're in for a treat. The food is well seasoned, delicious, & well-portioned. The service is professional yet warm & welcoming. & the ambiance works just as well for a weekday as it does for a weekend visit. You'll feel like you're sitting in a lush, modern courtyard - & why wouldn't you want to enjoy a delicious meal in that setting?
