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.
Our first time at Gino's & very pleased. The vibe is beyond laid back with the feeling of not being rushed with our meal. As for the meal itself probably the best lasagna we have had. The mixed grill plate was an abundant mix of shrimp, calamari & zucchini with a tasty aïoli sauce. Food paired well with Negronis. Top notch service by Thalia. Highly recommended for date night or just any night. A simple menu with emphasis on good quality food & drinks in a cool vibe & with exceptional service!
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!

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 😬
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.
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.
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.

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!
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!
We really love coming to Gino's for an easy, vibey & relatively affordable date night spot. The quality of the lasagna is amazing, consistent & well portioned. The staff is friendly, the lighting is calm, & it doesn't feel overwhelming or loud to talk amongst people. 10/10!

So delicious & such a great vibe! We shared the burrata, & grilled octopus & focaccia (I'm celiac so I didn't taste the bread but my friends seemed to love it) then I had the gluten free lasagna which was SO SO SO delicious, & their tiramisu is also gluten free… 10/10. While I definitely ate too much, it was impossible to leave leftovers, & was SO reasonably priced! Service was also amazing!
5/5 ⭐? We went on a Sunday evening for our anniversary & it wasn't too packed so the service was very spot on & personal. The vibes were great, the food was AMAZING. The ingredients all tasted fresh & the drinks were spot on as well! We took the sharing special for 2 & could not complain about a single thing. Our unexpected favorite side dish was the focaccia it was PERFECT. The lasagna was the real star but couldn't finish because had eaten a lot. Shoutout to our waiter & the chefs, we will definitely be making the trip to come back (considering I live in Laval)
Excellent appetizers, a suprisingly good lasagna (hello red wine lol) & a pistachio & white chocolate dessert to die for. I understand the chilled vibe but would like a bit more professionalism & consistency in service as my glasses of prosecco were not chilled, our bottle of wine was also served not chilled & the waiters changed several times thru the evening.
But would I go again just for the two-above mentioned items? YES.
P.S. Make sure to order YOUR OWN portion of lasagna, so yummy!
Great little spot with attentive service & a great vibe! Cocktails are all delicious as were the appetizers-definitely recommend the fried mozzarella. Tried both the Gino & Alla norma lasagne & they were both spectacular. Wine list is small but packs a punch. Overall great dinner experience, reasonably priced, highly recommend it!
Unassuming vibe, delicious food & great cocktails. The service was good, there were (very tasty) vegan food options & they had Negroni options for all palates. Can't wait to return!
