Il Bazzali is described as a warm, cozy Italian spot with generous portions and a strong focus on pasta and pizza, where fresh handmade pasta and flavorful toppings shine and the atmosphere is often enhanced by the chef singing opera. Guests repeatedly note attentive, friendly service and a well curated wine list, with a charming dining room and a heated terrace in good weather. Many reviews praise dishes such as ravioli, arancini, beef and seafood entrees, and the overall quality of the food, with the opera performance adding a memorable touch to the evening. The chef who sings and the staff are highlighted as memorable aspects, making celebrations feel special. Some critiques mention that pizza can vary in quality and pricing can be high for certain items, and a few also point to beverage choices like canned beer not being as fresh. Overall, Il Bazzali delivers authentic Italian cooking, a welcoming neighborhood vibe, and an experience many would return for.
Excellente expérience, le concept du chef qui chante de l'opéra est unique le hummus était exquis & une portion généreuse a partager. Les pasta c'est leurs spécialité, fraîches, généreuses & savoureuses!
Super expérience, lieu chaleureux, nous avons très bien mangé, portions généreuses.
Nous avons entrée + plat + dessert, on s'est régalés.
Petit bémol, les raviolis étaient légèrement trop beurrés, mais tout de même excellent !
C'était lors d'une soirée Pasta Opéra. Entre les services, le chef accompagné de deux autres dont l'un d'eux au clavier chantent. Repas 4 services & beau choix de menu qui était excellent lors de cette soirée. Soirée originale & très agréable. Je recommande.
The restaurant is warm & cozy with interesting woodwork details. Our servers were attentive & friendly & even the chef came to say hello. The food was authentic with very large portions. We will be back next time visiting Montreal.
Right from the start it was a wonderful experience. The service is warm. The selection from the menu is great. The taste & quality was outstanding. Everything from the pasta to the beef was excellent. The chef/owner, Davide, came out to see us. I have never had that happen before. He then proceeded to sing to everyone in the restaurant. What a voice! This is definitely a restaurant you need to go to!

Très belle découverte dans la Petite Italie, beau choix de vin, les servers sont poli & on ne se sens pas pressé malgré qu'il y avait beaucoup de monde. Le propriétaire étais sur place, & est venu nous jaser un peu a notre table, ce que j'ai beaucoup apprécier. Cette proximité avec les clients donnent une expérience mémorable. On a même eu le droit à une chanson de sa part! Il a une voix spectaculaire! Je reviendrai, merci!
Grand chef cuisiner dans un petit resto. Ambiance chaleureuse & excellente bouffe, jamais mangé aussi bon à bon rapport qualité prix. Je recommande fortement
I've got their pizza. The taste is very good. The staff is friendly. I've got takeout, but judging from what I saw, they have nice atmosphere, dimmed light & not too loud.

Nous avons adoré notre expérience culinaire & que dire du chef à la voix d'or. Les serveurs sont très courtois. Le chef prend le temps de saluer sa clientèle.
