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!
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!

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 !
Our group of 4 remember when St. Laurent was rok'n with the hottest restaurants & clubs & we haven't gone back since the city ruined it by the non stop construction. Well I kept on seeing this Gino's pop up on my feed & since I love lasagna & Negronis I made the reservation. On entering, the place was hopping with the young crowd I once was when it was my generation turn on the Main. Our female server Lean had the perfect St. Laurent vibe sweet, attentive, knowledgeable with the right amount of tattoos. First my buddy & I ordered 2 classic Negroni's my wife had the one with prosecco & one white wine & all were great but if your driving one Negroni is enough because yippee they are good. The food included entrees of salad( good for 4) that was delicious but the deep fried shrimp & zucchini was outstanding & the portion of both were nice to see in this time of shrinkflation & my buddy had the octopus another hit. So here comes the lasagna & I'm already 90% full but my brain was about to be put on hold because it was melt in your mouth great! Since it was my friends birthday & we were beyond stuffed we shared another hit with another melt in your mouth tiramisu. So in the end all I can say is St. Laurent is back & Gino's is a great night out just come in hungry.
Lasagna was excellent & service was great too. A was a bit surprised to see the food was served as is & wasn't a full kitchen which makes sense because it is lasagna & needs to be cooked ahead. Drinks were decent, however the Negroni was disappointing especially since it's in the name.
I absolutely loved my experience here! The ambiance was perfect for a date night. We stopped by while visiting from Toronto, & as vegetarians, we were really impressed with the options. We started with the mozzarella di bufala fritta as an appetizer, followed by the eggplant lasagna for our mains. We also tried their special negroni, which had just the right kick. Overall, it was a wonderful experience with great vibes.

I couldn't be happier to find a vegan lasagna in Montreal! I thoroughly enjoyed it with a negroni. Service was great too, very friendly atmosphere. I'll be coming back soon for sure!
What can I say…it's a place that zeroes in on 2 things: Negroni & Lasagna. As a lover of both (& an Italian) there were some expectations.
Negroni: I mean it's a Negroni. Nothing special here. They are pre-made & on tap. Perhaps that affects how good they are? All I know is I make a better Negroni at home.
Lasagna: as an Italian, I was quite disappointed. It tasted great, but had….an inconsistent consistency. Crunchy bits were dried out & overcooked. The slice could have also been larger for $20.
Total for 2 drinks, 2 slices of lasagna (with tax & tip): $93.
Vibes 10/10. We stopped in for a drink & immediately fell in love with the atmosphere. If you love Campari, this is your spot, they have so many different kinds of Negronis to try. The lasagna was fantastic too!
En premier on y va pour la Lasagne & les Negroni & une fois sur place non seulement mes attentes ont été comblées mais l'ambiance du restaurant en soirée,que je qualifie de moderne & chaleureuse est venue agrémenter le tout de belle façon!!

I loved my experience here! The Negroni was solid & the lasagna was good (it didn't blow me away though). What did blow my mind was the'tonno affumicato' it was so good. I'll be coming back just to eat that & have a Negroni.
4/5 for the atmosphere as we were sat beside the kitchen & the oven light kept blinding me when they would open it. I felt like I was being interrogated haha
You get a nice vibe from this place the moment you walk in! Very simple menu (a few choices for starters & the main star of the show... the lasagna!) but very well executed! but truly you come here because of the Negronis... so many to choose from... my favorite was the boulevardier (with bourbon)... try it & thank me later!
Belle & délicieuse soirée dans ce sympathique restaurant. Les negronis, parfaits, servis dans de beaux verres, la salade (tellement généreuse & délicieuse) & les lasagnes étaient trop bonnes. Qualité-prix imbattable & notre lumineuse & chaleureuse serveuse, Lean, a contribué à rendre cette première visite un moment mémorable. Que dire de plus, sinon que nous y retournerons bientôt. Nous allons recommander ce restaurant à nos amis.
N'hésitez pas à réserver votre table, car vous serez ravis.
Was having a lousy birthday. 62, house a mess with renovations, futile workday. Gino turned it around. Every morcel of food was perfect- outstanding lasagna, great appetizers, & the negronis were out of this world. Excellent music, atmosphere & service. Not dreading 63....thanks.
Had a fun night at Gino's. Started with a yummy salad & then enjoyed their signature lasagna & a perfectly crafted Negroni. Great food, great drinks, & a fun atmosphere.
The concept of doing a few things really well works here. Negroni, lasagna, tiramisu - excellent. Service excellent. Atmosphere relaxed & warm.a plateau gem!
We had a wonderful dinner at Gino's! The Negronis were excellent. They have a special menu featuring unique twists. The entree was delicious, but the lasagna was amazing! The ambiance is lovely & not too loud, so it's great for conversation.
