Really close to Pierre Elliott Trudeau airport. We visited here as we were staying overnight in Montreal for our flight the next day. Food was good & wide selection & variety. Would definitely go back next time we are staying by the airport

'Amazing experience near the airport! The restaurant was spotless & very comfortable. The food was excellent, fresh & full of flavor, & the service was outstanding - the staff were very friendly, quick, & always attentive. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a great meal & welcoming atmosphere close to the airport. Definitely a spot I would return to again!
This lively Italian restaurant was within walking distance of our airport hotel & we were pleasantly surprised with the excellent food & friendly service. Our server, Claudio, made helpful suggestions which were all delicious. I highly recommend the veal al Focaccio, which has the most exquisite sauce. & the chocolate gelato is flown in from Italy!
The food is ok for an airport adjacent restaurant. I came with a group & they served us quickly. It wasn't the best Italian but it did the job. The staff is really nice
This is a magnificent restaurant. Best Italian restaurant near to airport. If you have 1 hour to wait between flights, go & indulge in this little piece of Italy in Montreal.
This was a nice, quiet place off the beaten path, very close to the airport. So close we walked from the Sherton Hotel. Easy walk. Great food. Loved the sauce. While you waited for the meal, it came with 2 sour dough rolls. They have a large wine fridge. The seating was on the nicer side, but others had on casual attire, yet you could dress up for a nice dinner as well. Both would feel comfortable. Price was as expected for such a restaurant. Great experience. I would go again.

Given its odd location in an industrial area close to the airport, that just helps it shine more. Food is cooked to order, & the staff is amazing & able to answer any questions you may have. Bravo, gentlemen. Your food & atmosphere have helped make my night at a dingy hotel just a bit more bearable.
We were picked up by (free) restaurant shuttle at Aloft airport hotel! We shared a Quatro Fromage pizza (Sicilian style) & eggplant parm. All delicious. Our waiter was great. Leftovers packed for plane travel. We are coming back on our way back from vacation.
I was pleased with my meal & service. If i ever go back near or to the airport in Montreal, i will make a point to go there either after I land or before my take off. Awesome place!
