Overall, reviews describe Gino's Negroni & Lasagna as a lively yet welcoming spot where melt-in-your-mouth lasagna and a strong line of Negronis shine, with vegan and gluten free options broadening the appeal; the menu features meat and eggplant lasagnas, a variety of starters like burrata and octopus, and desserts such as tiramisu that many praise; the atmosphere is repeatedly called cozy, modern and good for dates or groups, and service is often praised for being friendly and attentive, though a few visits note busy nights, moments of slower pacing, or a room that can be a bit loud; overall, the value and quality are well regarded and many recommend returning to try different lasagnas and cocktails.
I was lost as to what have for our dinner while in Montreal & being a huge lasagna fan, I was drawn to the prospect of Gino's.
I'm a homemade lasagna snob, so going to a restaurant that specializes in lasagna, I had very high expectations. I can say, Gino's made an impression on me.
To start, the vibe is very'come here if you like negronis', & the customer service was great even with us not having a reservation at the time. We got recommendations for our order & we ended up ordering the Tonno Affumicato as an app, & the Gino & Alla Norma for our mains.
The bread served is decent, & the balsamic accompanying it was very tasty. But we actually weren't a fan of the Tonno Affumicato as much, it may just be the style of dish or combination of flavours, but we do wish we tried something else.
As for the lasagnas, the quality is there. I make a good lasagna at home, so I often don't order it outside unless really craving it which I usually get disappointed. The lasagna at Gino's is something I can remember vividly eating, & hope to try it again.
The Gino had a pleasantly sweet & tangy red sauce, moist & soft ground meat, & a great overall bite. But, the Alla Norma is what I think you need to come here for. An absolutely delicious vegetarian slice of lasagna that offers a perfect combination of ingredients in an eggplant based lasagna.
If you're looking for a nice spot for a date-night dinner, & you're craving pasta in Montreal. I think you should try Gino's!

The place solves the problem with'what am I going to order?' quite directly, & does it exceptionally well. I had a vegetarian lasagna, my wife had a meat one, & they were both flavourful & light.
Gino's is definitely a must-visit spot in Montreal! The atmosphere is cosy, you feel right at home, & the service is spot on! The cocktails & Negronis are excellent (a special mention to Joelle, who's a ray of sunshine behind the bar). The food is fresh & original! In short everything is perfect, I can't wait to go back for the fifth times!
Le meilleur : la lasagne. Nous avons pris la'Gino' avec de l'agneau, c'était goûteux à souhait. La texture des pâtes maison était parfaite. Le dessert glacé au nougat était ok, sans plus. Tiramisu très décevant, la texture désagréable en bouche, granuleux: les biscuits ont manqué de trempage. C'était p être une mauvaise batch mais on a laissé la majorité & la serveuse n'a rien demandé à ce sujet. Le service, le gros point décevant du lieu :( A notre arrivée à la porte, on dit un beau bonjour haut & fort. La serveuse nous voit, à entendu (tourné la tête vers nous) passe devant nous, aucune réaction, pas de sourire, aucun non verbal du type'je suis a vous dans un instant. Un gars est au comptoir, il lève les yeux à notre bonjour mais ne répond ni ne réagit pas. Douche froide. On se regarde & on hésite à aller ailleurs. On se fait placer, on regarde le menu. La serveuse arrive & nous demande'alors est ce que vous allez prendre un verre pour commencer?' On lui a dit'bonjour. On va commencer par un bonjour' dit avec le sourire. Elle n'a pas sembler comprendre qu'on voulait un peu de politesse de base. Ensuite le reste du service fonctionnel, sans chaleur dans le service. Bonne lasagne, mais pas une belle expérience malheureusement.
I really love this place for the vibes, the lasagna & beverage options. Having a limited menu & know a few varieties of lasagna, you know it will be good. The Gino's lasagna is delicious! The waitress was also really nice & charged my phone for me 😬
Je suis allée chez Gino's Negroni & Lasagna avec des amies, on a toutes pris la lasagne, honnêtement wow. 🥂
Ambiance super chaleureuse & notre serveuse était vraiment gentille.
Je recommande de réserver d'avance !

Great vibe. I've had better, but Lasagna was great. The bread (focaccia ?) was divine. Best I've had by a landslide. Drinks were not our style. We ordered 6 of them & were pretty underwhelmed. Friendly staff.
C'est la 2e fois que je mange chez Gino's & c'est toujours une belle expérience, l'endroit est très sympa, les lasagnes sont délicieuses & le tiramisu généreux. Je recommande vivement !
I hosted a corporate dinner at Gino's last month & had a great experience! The lasagna is delicious & tastes like your grandmother's family recipe. We tried three appetizers (focaccia, beef tartare, calamari) & all were great. I had issues with getting reimbursed by my company & the management at Gino's was incredibly helpful, great customer service!
