Review Summary

Da Giovanni is widely regarded as a classic Montreal staple that successfully maintains the authentic recipes and nostalgic flavors of its original location. Many visitors praise the consistent quality of the spaghetti, meatballs, pizza, and signature pasta sauce, noting that the portions are generous and the prices are fair. While the atmosphere is frequently described as cozy, welcoming, and well-decorated, opinions on the service and management are mixed; some patrons highlight the professional and friendly staff, whereas others mention issues with staffing levels and occasional operational inefficiencies. Despite some varying feedback regarding the modern decor and recent changes, the restaurant remains a beloved destination for those seeking traditional Italian comfort food.

My parents used to take me here when I was a little girl. While the food is still good, something about the atmosphere just isn't the same since they moved. It used to feel like walking into a big family dinner, with warmth, energy, & that old-school Italian charm. I remember the cook in the windows making sauces & spaghetti for all the passersby to see! It was so unique. Now, it feels a little too polished, a little too impersonal-with the TV screens & the decor that's just like every other restaurant. It's lost the essence of what made it special.

Another disappointment was the misleading website. The pictures show pizzas that aren't even on the menu, which was frustrating when we sat down expecting to order something that simply wasn't available. It left the impression that either the menu had been changed without updating the site, or the images were just for show. Don't call it a Margherita pizza when it isn't.

Overall, if you're just here for a meal, the food still delivers. But if you're looking for that nostalgic Da Giovanni experience, you might leave feeling like something's missing.

Basic menu but decent enough variety. Food was good. The Italian sausage was surprisingly tasty (didn't look like typical Italian sausage). Service was friendly.

If you love Italian food, this is NOT your place. If you are looking for a quick & chill bite, this is your place.

A small Italian eatery nestled in the heart of Montreal. Friendly staff welcomed us into this cozy restaurant which has limited but satisfying Italian dishes. The food was freshly prepared & our party enjoyed all of the plates. Prices were on the inexpensive end for this non-upscale restaurant. We would eat here again but would try other restaurants in the area first. For those looking to mix things up without getting dangerous, try their pizzaghetti.
