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.

Nourriture excellente! Bonne ambiance. Nous avons été un samedi pour souper avant un spectacle au Centre Bell. Musique pas trop forte contrairement à l'expérience de certaines personnes. Seul point négatif est le service concernant les boissons/breuvage. J'ai pris un cocktail pour débuter & j'aurai aimé prendre un verre de vin avec min repas. Mais le serveur a pris mon verre vide sans me demander si je voulais autre chose à boire. Au moment où il est revenu à la table pour demander si tout était OK, j'étais déjà rendue à plus du 3/4 de mon plat, alors prendre un verre à ce moment ne valait pas la peine. Cocktail que j'ai pris était très bon par contre. Je retournerai si j'ai un autre événement au Centre Bell.

5 star. Let's just start with that. Had reservations, got there, was sat down right away. Had Cesar salad as an app, & was there for the Habs game, but the server was honest, there wouldn't be enough time, if we ordered a meal, that it would come out before the first period of the fame would start. But, then came the best part, tell her what you want now, & after the end of the first period, when the 1st intermission starts, come back, same table, leave your jackets here, & everything will be sitting on the table. WOW. EXACTLY what we did. Came back, 1st intermission, everything was in the table, bottle of wine that I had asked for & all, beyond perfect. The food was tasty & steak, medium, on point 👌👌👌. I highly recommend, but the experience comes with a price ;)

Nous savons tous que les prix ont augmentés. Quand l'expérience client & la nourriture offertes laissent à désirer; c'est dans ce temps là que ça me dérange de payer le gros prix. Mon mari n'a pratiquement pas touché à son assiette & moi, à peine. Les choix au menu, les soirs de match d'hockey serait à revoir. De plus, un mini café latté à 7$.. c'est vraiment exagéré! Je ne recommande pas ce resto.

Un très beau restaurant chic & parfait juste avant un événement au Centre Bell, cependant la nourriture est très fade & peu goûteuse. Cher payé pour le manque de saveur même dans les desserts.

Je ne vous conseille pas ce resto, appart le serveur qui était excellent la qualité de la nouriture est très médiocre & bas de gamme. On paie parce que c'est au Centre Bell, mes pâtes au pesto étaient tellement fade & sans goût que même la sauce pesto Costco à 15$ est 100x meilleure. Les polpette sont tous autant sans saveur avec une sauce tomate limite en canne & la viande avec aucunes épices & une belle petite feuille de Basilic. Que dire du Martini sans Olives & avec du Gin qui goutait le Bombay alors qu'on a de super produit locaux de qualité. Bref sauver votre argent & aller manger à La Cage au Sport rendu là le burger aurait été plus satisfaisant.

Bonne ambiance, service courtois & efficace. Nourriture très ordinaire, pâtes peu goûteuses (gemelli ) & tiramisu fade. Je n’y retournerai pas, mon invité aussi à été déçu .
