Reviews for Cappello commonly highlight a spectacular city view, a vibrant yet refined atmosphere, and consistently attentive service, with many praising the burrata, pasta, ravioli, tiramisu, cocktails, and the overall dining experience, especially for special occasions and celebrations; a few critiques mention small portion sizes for the price, occasional slow or uneven service, limited non-pork or alcohol free options, and occasional dish missteps, but the consensus remains that Cappello delivers a memorable, high end Italian experience with impressive cocktails and a view worth the visit, and most guests say they would return.

Flew in from out of town with my brother for a business trip & chose this restaurant for dinner. We were denied entry & told they were fully booked, yet the restaurant was visibly quite empty at the time.
Shortly after, a couple arrived without a reservation & were seated without issue. Watching that happen right in front of us was not only embarrassing but raised serious concerns about how guests are selected. This felt discriminatory & is not something I can overlook.
Would not recommend this place despite the decor & atmosphere looking beautiful.

Le cadre est très beau, la vue sur la ville est unique. Le passage dans l'entrée permet de jeter un petit coup d'oeil sur une partie de la cuisine, celle-ci semble très propre & c'est vraiment appréciable. La salle est propre, les tables, les couverts, rien à redire. Le service est très professionnel, il ne perd pas de temps. Pour autant, on nous a laissé le temps de réfléchir à nos plats tout en se montrant disponible pour répondre à nos questions (le serveur avec les tatouages sur la gorge, vous êtes vraiment au top! Merci encore). Le pain à l'ail était généreux en parmesan bien qu'un poil trop gras, mais c'est un détail. La Pinsa était généreuse, la cuisson était maîtrisée. Les cavaletti al ragù bianco étaient un délice. Les pâtes avaient de la mâche, la sauce ne noyait pas les pâtes & les enrobait juste ce qu'il faut. La viande hachée était bonne bien qu'un sofrito plus prononcé pourrait améliorer ce plat. Le déglaçage au vin blanc était impeccable. Ce plat mérite d'être commandé & recommandé. Le prix dépensé était totalement justifié au vu de la qualité de ces services. Un grand merci à toute votre équipe & à bientôt j'espère.
This place was a vibe! From start to finish this place, people, food & environment was phenomenal. Hostess was super friendly, our server was fantastic made so many recommendations & made us feel welcomed & special, Thank you Andy! We visit Montreal from Toronto because of the Food quality & experience- this place topped it for us! You guys are doing many things right & cannot wait for visit again! Highly recommended for just about any special occasion but if not for anything a great night out with amazing vibes, exceptional food selection & delicious drinks!!! Merci Beaucoup!!!
Un restaurant magnifique, mais très bruyant. On a été assez déçu de la nourriture, l'entrée (un tartare de veau) n'avait que le goût de sauce vinaigrée, assez écurant. Les ravioles à la pistache & mortadelles sont vraiment peu généreuses, 6 tout au plus, pas de quoi s'étouffer… J'ai cherché le goût de la pistache dans la sauce, en vain, seulement celui de l'huile d'olive. Les pizzas sont bonnes mais un peu petites aussi. On a préféré passer le dessert quand on a vu la taille des profiteroles sur la table voisine, visiblement ils rationnent…
Vraiment déçus de cette expérience, on est reparti avec la faim & le sentiment d'avoir payé 100$ pour le cadre. Dans ce cas je conseil de venir pour boire un verre seulement, & encore, je recommande bien plus Hiatus ou Sora situé 1 étage au dessus dans le même immeuble.
All i can say is vibes were immaculate, food was amazing, drinks were fantastic.
It's the perfect place to bring a date or a girls night out.
If you come around 6:00-6:30, you get to catch the sunset while you eat, or in our case when we were done eating. It was gorgeous.
We sat at the bar & our bartender was, i believe, Marie-Anne. She was so insightful about the menu & explained everything in detail.
When i saw they had a canned of sparkling hibiscus juice, i asked her what it was & i expressed how much i love hibiscus. She gave us a little shot to taste. & she whipped up a cocktail for me! I really enjoyed it!
I would definitely come back & i highly recommend!!

I recently visited this restaurant & had a bit of a mixed experience. To start, everything was actually going really well - the burrata & garlic bread were both delicious & set a great first impression.
Unfortunately, things started to go downhill with the main courses. My partner initially received the wrong dish (though the names were quite similar, so I understand how that could happen), but the staff was accommodating & quickly corrected it. However, my own dish arrived cold, & while I normally wouldn't send food back, I had to ask for it to be reheated.
When the dishes came back, we were surprised by the portion size - the cappelleti plate had only five pieces, which felt quite underwhelming. Taste-wise, the pasta didn't really stand out, & my own dish was extremely over-peppered to the point where it was difficult to enjoy, which was disappointing since I usually love pasta.
We decided to stay a bit longer & ordered another round of drinks, but after waiting around 15 minutes with nothing arriving, we assumed it had been forgotten & asked for the bill. After paying (& still tipping over 15% as our waitress was very kind & attentive), we realized we had been charged for the drink we never received. It turned out it had been sitting at the bar for about 10 minutes without being brought to us.
Overall, the ambiance & view are beautiful, & the service from our waitress herself was lovely. However, based on the food experience, I would probably only return for drinks at the bar rather than for a full meal.
I mentioned my dish was a bit too salty, & Luca immediately took ownership. Without hesitation, he had the plate replaced no friction, just pure professionalism & care.
That level of attention says everything. True customer-centric service.
Food, ambiance, & overall experience were excellent.
Had a great night here at Cappello, wonderful view & vibe in the restaurant & all the food was great, only small complaint was there was some problem with service but nothing that major.
Shout out to our server Amanda & the Cappello team for going above & beyond & for making our evening incredibly special. 5 stars all around & the view is amazing.
Accueil : A l'arrivée, on avait une réservation pour 20:30, on a quand même dû attendre une bonne dizaine de minutes parce que la table n'était pas prête. La bonne chose c'est qu'on a été prévenues.
Service à table : le samedi soir était occupé mais j'ai trouvé que notre serveur était parfois lent à revenir vers notre table surtout pour prendre les commandes, les additions où il y a eu une erreur. Il était parfois occupé à prendre des shots avec la table d'à côté.
Ambiance : la lumière y est bonne, belle vue de Montreal & la musique permet tout de même de s'entendre. Je ne sais pas à quel point le staff peut gérer ça, mais la table à côté était excessivement bruyante, entre les cris & les coups sur les tables c'était à la limite de l'insupportable.
Nourriture & boissons : j'ai préféré les boissons, les entrées & le dessert. Mon plat ne m'a pas enchantée plus que ça, j'ai trouvé la sauce des pâtes liquide comparée à mes amies qui avaient des sauces plus épaisses.
Recommandations de boisson : hugo royal & aperol spritz
Recommandations d'entrée : la pieuvre, la burrata & la salade césar
Recommandations dessert : tiramisu & profiterole
Overall, avec un bon groupe on y passe une belle soirée 😄
