A journey into the imagination to forget oneself and rediscover oneself in space and time. Where guests are actors in an orchestrated performance... To celebrate the miracle of life.
Overall, Café Miracolo earns abundant praise for its warm, eclectic atmosphere and stunning decor that feels festive for both dates and groups. The kitchen draws frequent acclaim for a creative, flavorful menu ranging from fresh oysters and carpaccio to house made pastas, mortadella, burrata and other small plates, with tasting menus and sharing options highlighted as great ways to sample the menu. Cocktails are described as inventive and well balanced, and service is often noted as attentive and friendly, even when the room is busy. While portions are praised as generous by many, some reviews call them small for the price and a few experiences note slower pace during peak times or occasional lapses in wine knowledge. Nonetheless, Café Miracolo is presented as a memorable Italian dining spot with excellent food, a remarkable atmosphere, and a staff that tends to elevate the evening, leaving many eager to return.
Went with friends on a quiet Sunday night, & had a great time. The service is quick & efficient, our waitress Florence had a smile the entire time & served us like we were family! I had the Rigatoni, it was perfectly creamy & had such a nice bite to it. The place itself is beautiful, a really nice ambiance & would make for a perfect date spot. Fully recommend!
Beautiful restaurant with great food & service! I ordered the degustation menu, it offered very diverse nicely crafted dishes. Perfect for a date night also

Loved dining at your restaurant in every aspect! Service was top notch, food was excellent, cocktails were fabulous & inventive! The space itself is unique & beautiful, but also fun & celebratory.
The oysters were truly fantastic, as was each of the accompanying garnishes. Each dish was so well detailed in flavor profiles - even the Caesar salad was far more complex in every aspect (than EVER.)
Dessert was also creative & delicious!
Came here on New Year's for the tasting menu, it was okay. The ambience of this restaurant is beautiful, so cozy & classy. The menu items online looked quite good, however on New Year's the tasting menu was the only option. Nothing amazed me, other than the brown butter ravioli which was tasty. Just thought it was overpriced for the quality & taste of food, would've loved to try the regular menu items though!
We had a wonderful dinner at Cafe Miracolo! They made it very easy to make a reservation for a large group of 10 & they took very good care of us. The food was delicious, the atmosphere inside is beautiful, & it was a fun vibe. Highly recommend!

First of all, this restaurant is beautiful, very unique & different decor, gives for a great atmosphere. The service is amazing. The food was incredible as well, the arancini was, I think, the star of the show. Drinks are priced very reasonably & so was the food. I recommend!
Staff is friendly & well-meaning but was totally overwhelmed by the number of guests so we had to wait a long time for our drinks & food. I understand the value of offering an outside patio but for the size of the kitchen & bar, I can't see how that's sustainable. I really felt bad for the team going at 110% non-stop throughout the night... on a Wednesday.
Food presentation was beautiful & appetizing but fell a little short on the flavour side. The mortadella grillé & the asparagus were my favourites.
Finally, the value is simply incredible. Good food & great staff in a stunning setting on the Main for under a 100$? Bravo!
Had a wonderful experience last night at Miracolo! First of all, what a beautiful decor & atmosphere welcomed my friend & I. Maximalism at its finest. The vibe is festive, jovial, warm, & you feel like you're eating in someone's cozy living room. Trinkets of all kinds adorn the walls & shelves.
The food: TO DIE FOR. Our waiter made recommendations & we went for his picks. Starting with the classic focaccia & olive tapenade, followed by the grilled mortadella slice'folded a thousand times' & drizzled with honey & melted provolone on a bed of pistachio pesto. I had to pause & fully immerse myself in every bite of this delicacy. Holy mortadella!! We followed with the burratina with yellow beats on another bed of pistachio pesto - to die for, what a treat. The main meal was the cavatelli with lamb ragout, a generous portion & such a wonderful flavor. We ended with a slice of their lemon torte, which had a brulée coat on top - perfect way to end the meal.
The service was impeccable, our waiter was funny & witty & his passion showed through, very professional & good spirited. Thank you! I will definitely come back!!
Went on a Friday night & the place was packed. Had to wait 5-10 minutes to get a table but it was super worth it. Oysters hit hard so we got a 2nd dozen. Tiramisu was also really good, similar to Costco, but softer & creamier. Restaurant is beautiful & the service was exceptional, some of the best service I've received in Montreal. Everyone was attentive & had a great attitude.
Having walked by Miracolo countless times, drawn by its charm, we finally decided to stop in for a birthday supper. The restaurant's interior design is quirky & densely decorated in a way that feels intentional yet unique-a style that might not suit everyone but worked well for me. We were greeted warmly & given a choice of seating, which was a nice touch. Opting for a cozy table by the windows, we enjoyed a view of the lively street outside. It quickly became apparent that Miracolo's atmosphere draws as much attention from passersby as it does from patrons inside; people often stopped to peer in, some even taking photos, which only added to the restaurant's sense of allure. The service was friendly, though it seemed the staff might be fairly new, as our server needed to consult the kitchen several times when we had questions about the menu. I do appreciate their honesty & willingness to find answers instead of improvising-a small thing that shows a commitment to quality service. We arrived at around 5 p.m., when the dining room was still quiet, but it quickly filled up as the evening progressed. Thankfully, even with a full house, the noise level was manageable, allowing for comfortable conversation without feeling like we had to raise our voices-a definite plus in my book. Our dining experience began with the "mortadella, salsa verde, provolone, & pistachio" starter, which we ordered with a mindset of sharing. Expecting a charcuterie-style presentation, we were surprised to receive a rolled dish with all the ingredients combined into a single structure. This was a bit of a misstep for us, as the rolled format prevented my vegetarian partner from enjoying it, & I ended up eating it solo. In retrospect, we should have asked more about the presentation to avoid any surprises. For the mains, I ordered the lasagna bolognese with béchamel & pesto alla genovese, along with a side of scarpetta & focaccia. The lasagna arrived as a generously sized yet quite thin slice, baked to perfection with a great balance of textures & flavors. The focaccia was beautifully soft & fresh, but unfortunately, the sauce served alongside it was so salty that it was virtually inedible. The heavy-handed seasoning left the sauce untouched for the rest of the meal. My partner ordered the eggplant with salsa pugliese, labneh, & pangrattato, but sadly, it suffered from the same issue: the seasoning was overpowering, with salt dominating every bite. It's unfortunate when the richness of a dish's flavors is drowned out by excessive salt, especially with ingredients as promising as these. Thankfully, dessert saved the day. We opted for the tiramisu, & while its presentation was modest-almost humble-it was wonderfully executed, with a smooth, creamy texture & balanced sweetness. It was a true standout & showed that Miracolo has the potential to deliver quality when everything aligns. Our experience with the drinks was mixed as well. An espresso martini that was delightful, bold yet smooth, & a cider that was crisp & refreshing. However, the long island iced teas left much to be desired. Mine tasted unexpectedly of ginger, while my partner's tasted oddly reminiscent of cough syrup. Neither tasted remotely like a classic long island iced tea, which was a bit disappointing given how well they did with the other drinks. I should mention that I don't think this drink is on the menu, but they fulfilled our request for them - a greatly appreciated touch. At around $160, including tip, the price point felt completely reasonable had the food consistently met expectations. However, with the number of hits & misses, it was hard to walk away feeling completely satisfied. Miracolo has an undeniable charm & an ambiance that's both unique & inviting, but when it comes down to it, we visit a restaurant primarily for the food. While I enjoyed parts of the experience, the meal didn't quite hit the high note I'd hoped for on a special occasion like a birthday.
Attended a dear family member's birthday party here in the evening - 8 months pregnant, sans partner, with my cranky 2.5 year old in tow (normally would've skipped but as said - dear family member's birthday!). The seating & overall vibe is intimate - beautiful & cool, but not ideal for a huge pregnant lady & toddler! Nonetheless, the staff was incredibly kind & accommodating, & quick to get food on the table for my kid & I so we could jet early. Everything we tasted was absolutely delicious - cavatelli was a particular fave, but everything was great! Can't wait to go back (without my little kid).

The food is great & the seating areas are beautiful, including a really spectacular outdoor seating area. The service is definitely a little slow though. I did ask him some questions that never got answered as well which was disappointing (asked him what kind of spice/chili they used on the cavatelli & also asked for a dessert wine list or to just tell me if they have any Port wine. He said he would check & then just acted like I never asked). Would come back I guess for the food but expect a slow service for sure.
I got very impressed by the decoration. It looks like a palace , with beautiful paintings. Everything is perfect in details. My complaints go to the restricted menu with few choices especially the brunch menu .
I've been here 3 times now & each time the service, atmosphere & the food have all been fantastic!! It's such a beautiful place, with so much to look at & the amber lighting giving it the most inviting glow. All of their decor, every object feels so intentional... it's a maximalists wet dream. Safe to say their oysters are the best I've ever had. I'm slowly making my way through the whole menu. If you love food, you have to come here.
Beautiful decor. Waiter could have came more often to see if we were enjoying our meal. We had to call his attention a few times for water, ordering. The cavatelli was way too salty. Their twist on the ceasar salad was ok. I thought the scallop plate would be hot, but it was torched & the scallops remained cold which wasn't the best. The dessert, tiramisu was tasty. I wouldn't go back, but beautiful decor & vibes.
