Everything you need for an Italian restaurant. My go to every single time
Wife & I had two separate visits to this wonderful Italian bistro in the last few weeks & both times the experience was fantastic.
Great food, wonderfully attentive service & an eclectic charm that made us feel right at home.
Shout out to Meghan who was our server on both occasions.
Definitely moved onto our favourites list !
Reservations are a very good idea as it fills up quickly on the weekends ( Thurs-Sun ).
desserts are delightful as well.
Great wine list.
Great Italian American restaurant with a good selection of Negronis. I had doubts because of the hype, but everything exceeded my expactations. Food was really good, the star for us, the Octopus with the beans. Pasta are classics & you can't go wrong. Tiramisu was a perfect way to end a dinner with an espresso. They also have a little Figata coffee shop so coffee is great. Our server Pasha was perfect & everything was handled with a cool & relaxing feel until the end, exactly what you want for an night out. Go there early if you have kids & later of you want a supper club vibe.
A warm, nonna-inspired Italian dining experience in St-Henri defined by comfort, restraint, & familiarity, supported by a cozy ambience & a thoughtfully curated oldies soundtrack that enhanced atmosphere without overwhelming conversation.
Culinarily, the grilled octopus (polpo) stood out as a clear highlight-well-executed with confident texture control & balanced seasoning, reflecting strong kitchen technique & precision.
The pasta alla zozzona was indulgent & satisfying in concept, though slightly oversalted, which at moments overshadowed its richness. The beef carpaccio similarly leaned salt-forward, with seasoning exceeding the delicacy of the raw beef. This was also noted in the focaccia which was our attempt to absorb the saltiness of the beef.
The St-Germain spritz provided a light, aromatic counterpoint, while the tiramisu delivered a classic, well-structured finish with appropriate balance of cocoa, cream, & coffee bitterness.
Overall, the experience remained cohesive & inviting-anchored by standout execution in select dishes, softened by a warm atmosphere, with minor seasoning inconsistencies preventing full refinement but not diminishing the restaurant's return appeal.
We absolutely loved it! The food was fresh, everything was delicious, & Pacha really went out of his way for us. Honestly, this is one of the best & most authentic Italian restaurants I've been to in Montreal. The ambiance was great & the decor was beautiful too. Thank you so much for the amazing service - we'll definitely be back 😊
This restaurant is fun! The food is very good, the service was excellent, & the noise level decent. The pasta dishes served as mains are a generous size - the Italian-American influence some have commented on. We loved the orecchiette with a mushroom/truffle sauce. All the wines are privately imported. The bottle of pecorino (from Abruzzo) we had was first rate.
At first we order 2 dishes & a dessert, but later on the pasta was so good we have to try another one lol. I don't know if these are the real Italian tastes but they suit well for us. I think the music is somehow is too loud so I cannot really hear the waitress. The restaurant was also very crowded so I recommend reservations, & also due to that, sometimes it took long for the waitress to notice us & the waiting time also a little bit long. Price is compatible with the quality.
Overall, the food is amazing & I'll come back! :-)
One of my favourite Italian restaurants in Montreal. The savoury dishes are consistently excellent, & what truly sets this place apart is the dessert menu, something that is surprisingly hard to find at the same level. For my birthday, I had a passion fruit & chocolate choux alongside a tiramisu. Despite not usually being a dessert person, this was, without hesitation, the best dessert I've had in the city, & I will be thinking about that choux for a long time!
An Italian restaurant that focused on mastering what Italian cooking is, simple ingredients, prepared in order to let the ingredients shine. Service was excellent & the wine list has a lot of interesting options. If you have a special occasion to celebrate I recommend here
