Generally a solid restaurant & used to be my Italian affordable go to in Montreal until I had 3 bad experiences in a row with their chicken Parmesan- which was one of the best tasting & texture in the city for the money. But when I had 3 times a rubbery & odd texture chicken breast on 3 different occasions, where twice management insisted there was nothing wrong with the chicken breast thigh it was very undesirable - I decided to call it quits. But this week my dining partner wanted to go & well, I am a gluten for punishment - or so I thought. This time I ordered capelinni pasta with half bolognese & half marinara sauce & it was perfect. My dining partner had their 7oz roasted chicken breast with veggies & a house salad. Both were just fine & the breast was actually cooked well & no odd frozen like rubbery chicken breast - whew. This being stated one issue I have here all the time - is the unreasonably loud noise level most of the time, especially during key days & times. This was especially nasty when we went, as there were 3 parties going on, however, there appeared to be a kids party where the adults decided not to calm the kids in the slightest even though they were clearly screaming in the restaurant en mass & where the entire restaurant was overrun with the noise. Management did nothing to try & deal with the blatant inconsiderate lack of parenting from the adults. I'm fine with kids parties & with noise, but when you cannot hear the person sitting in front of you (because of one tables being too loud) that is just way too much & not acceptable. This is not a McDonalds this is a classy family-ish dining restaurant with a fine wine list & bar. This was wrong on so many levels from a (lack of) management that I won't even comment, & also wrong from the adults (perhaps parents?) who just gabbed amongst themselves & didn't pay any attention to the kids. So lesson here. Though the server was lovely & great at getting the order & the meal was delicious, I have to think twice if I wish to refer people here again - if they are looking for a decently calm environment & if they wish to be able to relax & speak comfortably with the people they are trying to have a nice dining out experience. You get my point right? So to note, all their dishes are great, French fries are one of the best in town, wood oven fired pizza is great, all pastas are spot on & their appetizers are great too. If it were not for this experience I would say go, go now, & have a chicken Parmesan while you're at it. But one I would not recommend the chicken Parmesan just to be safe & two, I do not know what hours coincide with one's desire to eat/dine in a calm environment. For the price there are many places to have equally great Italian food without the noise level & crazy kids parties. So you choose. Food wise, you should be just fine & the atmosphere is actually nice as is the bar with the big screen TV's to enjoy sports events while eating & drinking. If you have kids - given management does not care about its clients enough to calm noisy kids down, bring them there as this would be perfect for you & your kids, & why not have a kids party there instead of McDonalds & feed the kids some yummy quality made food. Who knows, maybe this becomes the next best place for kids parties with adult quality Italian cuisine with great alcohol Anyway, enjoy & don't forget dessert. I'm not a chocolate person but I did try their heated up chocolate brownie al la mode with vanilla ice cream & drizzled chocolate chips & chocolate & caramel syrup. Wow is all I can say !!! A must have, maybe start with this & then order food later.
Although they messed up my order, it was no problem to get my food how I wanted it. Aside from that, everything was delicious & the service was great! The calamari is a must have! My son & husband always enjoy the linguini Della Nona, as well as their pizzas. I usually opt for the grilled chicken. They have something for everyone... vegan options, all kinds of salads, sandwiches, fish/seafood, chicken, & pasta of course. Portions are big... Your tummy will thank you:)
Me & my wife went to Del Friscos for Valentine's Day & we had an amazing experience!!! Service was excellent! Food was delicious & portions huge! I highly recommend the Artichoke, kale & Spinash Dip, it was so yummy 😋 The fried calamari was also delicious & perfectly cooked. Their Wooden Fire Oven Pizza are just outstanding with fresh toppings & their sandwiches packed with flavor, fresh ingredients & huge portions of meat. Desserts are very decadent & delicious too. Portions were so huge that we couldn't finish all. Overall we had a blast & I highly recommend!!! Please make sure to make reservation because this place is crowded.
Nous pensions que le dimanche on peut avoir la chance de rester longtemps entre amis mais après 2.30 la serveuse nous a gentiment dit que vaut mieux de partir.... la bouffe n'était pas à la hauteur avec le prix payé en plus que l ambiance aussi,pas de musique,,,, en tout cas partout le service & la satisfaction est très basse malheureusement
Our waiter was very attentive & a great sense of humour. I think his name was Chris. Appetizers & main dish was delicious & good portion, thank u for a great experience
My husband recently introduced me to Del Friscos as he used to go there often for business lunches years ago. I have to say, I absolutely love coming here. The staff & waiters are SO polite & professional & kind, & patient with us & our toddler. The food is always fantastic & the quality consistent. We recently went with friends & they also enjoyed our lunch there. No pics, but we have tried a bunch of pizzas, sandwiches, & salads. All very good!
