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 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.
Had a chill lunch at Miracolo. My waitress was super friendly & took care of me. I ordered salmon tartare without knowing it was smoked, & she was happy to switch it for me. Love the ambiance, wine, service & the food
Yet another winner from the Majestique group of restaurants. The food, atmosphere, cocktails & staff were exceptional. Easily in the staple restos to frequent in Montreal. You have to try the anchovies!! & the Negroni!

What a lovely evening! The decor is warm & inviting, relaxing us from the get-go. Everything was incredibly high quality, & the play on tastes & textures was interesting & delightful! We had fresh oysters, shrimp, focaccia, octopus & polenta, salmon tataki, & scallops & melon with crispy prosciutto. All just fantastic! The waiter was very friendly & professional & recommended the perfect macerato to accompany the seafood we ordered when I said I wasn't a huge fan of whites. We used to live near Turin & have eaten in a lot of very nice Italian restaurants. This restaurant really reminded us of some of the smaller, more inventive enotecas we used to enjoy. We'll definitely be back! The only thing that was regrettable for us was how loud it became when full. The music wasn't as loud as some Montreal restaurants, but once it filled up, it was really hard for us to hear each other at our small 3 person table. This may be a cultural preference, though, since we have found restaurants in Quebec to be much louder than Europe. Miracolo definitely wasn't as loud as others (thankfully), just too loud for much of a conversation at the end (unfortunately).
Pour nous, c'était parfait! Du service à la nourriture ainsi que l'ambiance chaleureuse & le décor vraiment joli. On a déjà hâte d'y retourner, un gros merci :)
C'est quand même limite de refuser d'offrir un dessert à mon amie qui fêtait son anniversaire alors que notre table avait probablement dépensé 600 ou 700$... on a clairement demandé & on nous avait dit que le restaurant n'offrirait pas. pourtant on avait pris des bouteilles & 2 plats pour la plupart. De plus, si certains plats étaient très bons, d'autres étaient très moyens (sauce mauvaise ou manque d'accompagnement), & les quantités très timides. autrement, service agréable, bons conseils de la part de notre serveuse, bruyant mais ambiance visuelle sympathique

Superbe restaurant, avec une belle ambiance chaleureuse & festive, mais plutôt bruyante, il faut le dire. Nous avons eu un excellent service, très attentionné, tout le long du repas & avons beaucoup aimé nos plats. Les portions sont par contre plutôt minimalistes, mais la nourriture est vraiment de qualité, nous avons goûté aux pétoncles, à la pieuvre, mortadelle grillée & ossobuco. La carte des vins & cocktails est très intéressante & notre negroni était délicieux. Le dessert festif était un peu cher (17$) pour ce que c'était, j'essaierais un autre dessert la prochaine fois. Au final, nous reviendrons absolument, merci Miracolo :)
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.
I am giving the lovely lady that waited on me & the ambiance 5 stars. The food however was a 2. The goat cheese salad was not really a salad, it was melted cheese sauce with some beets & a few pecans. The spaghetti with clams & garlic sauce was not good at all. The pasta was chewy, even after re making it. The thin sliced clams, maybe 4 were most likely from a can, were inedible & like rubber. I've been traveling & looking forward to a nice meal, the reviews were quite misleading sadly. Very disappointed.
Belle expérience culinaire chez Miracolo ! La qualité des plats était excellente, avec des saveurs bien équilibrées & des portions généreuses. L'ambiance était chaleureuse & agréable pour passer un bon moment en bonne compagnie. Une adresse que je recommande pour les amateurs de cuisine italienne authentique !
