This place makes you feel as if you stepped into Rome. The food is so good & authentically Italian. You can see photos of mamma Emma with lots & lots of celebrities. Their ravioli is delicious. Their burrata, artichoke,& caprese are also really good.

If not the best, then one of the best Italian restaurants in Montreal. Food quality, taste & ingredients as good as you can find anywhere but more expensive than elsewhere & very noisy after 8:30 or so (low ceilings). Great service & wine selection in a comfortable setting with dishes rarely found in Montreal like the very slow roasted delicious melt in your mouth suckling pig or young lamb. A place to enjoy delicious food that does not taste good just because it is loaded with salt & fat once in a while as the menu is relatively small & does not change much.

Comida italiana, muy rica. Los ravioles de gorgonzola estaban en su punto. Probé un pescado al aceite de oliva, uff qué delicia, sabor suave y bien condimentado.

Para mi gusto un poco frío el clima.

Da Emma does not disappoint. Housed in a beautiful historic building, it sets the tone for an elevated dining experience from the moment you arrive. A wall of photos showcasing the many celebrities who've dined here underscores the legacy of this Montréal institution. Quite possibly the city's finest Italian restaurant, no small claim given the competition, it offers flawless dishes (don't miss the meatballs), attentive staff, & the bonus of complimentary valet parking. Whether you're planning a date night or celebrating a special occasion in Old Montréal, make a reservation, put on a nice outfit, & savour one of the city's must try meals.

If you're looking for good quality home style Italian food, look no further. This restaurant is a classic & the food truly takes like an Italian grandmother made it from scratch at home! Do yourself a favour & come here!
