Food is good & above average, though not flawless. The service, however, is exceptional-so kind, attentive, & genuinely caring.

Just finished a delicious authentic pasta & generous Caesar salad. Giovanni & staff offer wonderful hospitality & delicious food! Giovanni was especially accommodating as he arranged dinner for us even though the restaurant was very busy. Our thanks, appreciation & admiration! Bravo!!!

I usually avoid hotel restaurants as I find them on average not great value. While Geso is certainly at a higher-end price point, the food quality & service lived up to it. I tried the buffala & tomatoes, as well as the filet & the lemon torte. All were excellent, & despite being an Italian restaurant, Chef Giovanni made one of the best medium rare filets I can immediately recall. A great selection of Italian reds. The restaurant manager Giancarlo made every effort to get to know us during our stay & make us feel welcome. I wholeheartedly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a solid mid-to-higher-end Italian choice in Ville-Marie.

Grazie mille!

Rien n'était mauvais. Pour le prix, la nourriture était très ordinaire, le chef était incapable de faire une recommandation à mon épouse, la déco était banale. Il y a bien mieux pour bien moins cher.

We went to this restaurant because it is close to our hotel & the menu looked good on their website. But things turned out to be way better than that! Not only was the food delicious, the bottle of Barolo was really good too. The owner & the staff were very kind & helpful. We had a lovely chat with the owner who also gave us useful tips for our stay in Montreal.
We highly recommend this restaurant! Good meals, good vibes, nice people. Made our day.

Walked across the street from our hotel, & found this delightfully surprising little Italian place. Really good food! We had eggplant Parmesan, garlic-crusted salmon, & mushroom spaghetti. & a special shout-out to the man that took care of us so well: GianCarlo.
