Review Summary

Canti Osteria & Bar offers a well located spot where guests can enjoy delicious, well prepared dishes before a hockey game or a show and soak in a relaxed yet lively vibe. Service is generally friendly and efficient, with easy access on show nights and smooth entry noted for event crowds, though a few experiences describe timing hiccups during busy periods. The menu is short and focused, with fresh, flavorful plates and a standout mushroom pappardelle with truffle, while some diners wish for a little more variety and feel certain items are pricey. The space can be noisy and bustling, adding energy for many but not ideal for those who prefer quiet meals. Overall, guests frequently praise the quality, execution and welcoming atmosphere that makes Canti Osteria & Bar a dependable option for a tasty meal near the action.

Blind faith & pasta vibes!
Booked a rez before the Bell Centre show-smooth entry, pasta delivered, all good… until the server Josiane turned into the main act.

No drinks? No smile. Friend just gets a beverage? Cue Olympic-level side-eye.

& the kicker: coworker drops a plate, & she blasts,'Excusez-le, c'est sa première journée, mais ça va pas durer.' Wow-customer service by way of reality TV.

Food was tasty, service was salty. Come for the pasta, stay for the live drama.

My 2 friends & I had a fun evening at Canti Osteria, food & service were great & our server Gabrielle was fun & attentive. However, we do have an issue & can not get it resolved & it is impossible to get any response from anyone at Canti Osteria. We have emailed & called & have not been able to resolve this. We bought tickets & dinner combo for Cyndi Lauper concert on October 18, our tickets were scanned as we entered the restaurant. We had a table reserved & told the host that we had concert tickets/dinner combo. We ordered dinner & drinks & then paid the bill & did not notice till later that the cost of dinner (previously paid for) was not subtracted from the bill. We tried to get back into the restaurant but was not allowed, we called numerous times over the next few days & could not speak to anyone at Canti, we returned to the restaurant on Saturday, October 20 & could not get in. We are happy to pay the difference, we just want Canti to refund the overage. Can someone please reach out & suggest a way to resolve this. Much appreciated.
