About

Il Bazzali presents a focused menu centered on the technical preparation of authentic Italian pasta dishes and hand-stretched pizzas. The kitchen prioritizes traditional techniques to create firm, perfectly textured doughs alongside rich, slow-simmered sauces. Every plate emphasizes the structural balance between artisanal flour, imported cheeses, and fresh aromatic herbs. The physical space features an open layout that prioritizes communal interaction while maintaining a standard level of functional comfort. Patrons encounter a direct focus on core regional flavor profiles that avoid unnecessary culinary fusion or contemporary over-complication. This establishment maintains a straightforward operational philosophy, ensuring that the consistency of basic ingredients remains the primary driver of each served item. The environment supports a focus on ingredient quality through a simplified, utilitarian approach to the classic Mediterranean culinary framework used for every preparation.

It was so good! The atmosphere is absolutely perfect for a nice evening, especially with the little opera sung by the chef! Would definitely come back! 🤩

Very nice service with pleasant atmosphere! Opera singing was quite an experience! But I expected more from the food & it didn't deliver. Arancini was delicious. The amount of Pastaa was generous, but the amount of Parmigiano was not matching. Lardon was overcooked. I was open to try, but I didn't like the caramelized onion mixed with the pasta.

The food & service here were very good. We especially enjoyed the Giovanni pizza. The, who I can only imagine was the owner, also sang opera which was a nice added touch. He seemed to really care about his guests.

My girlfriend & I absolutely love this restaurant. The food is amazing. It is cozy & romantic. The staff have always been super nice & polite. The star of the night is the chef / owner who sings Italian opera during dinner. He always checks up on you after your meal to see how you enjoyed the night. This is by far our favourite restaurant ❤️

Plats tous délicieux. La table d'hôte 4 services est excellente & les prix sont raisonnables. Très beau choix d'entrées, de pâtes & de pizzas. Desserts légers, parfaits. Le chef & ténor chante de l'opéra, & vient parler avec les clients aux tables. Franchement...que demander de plus? C'est un coup de coeur, on reviendra!

An amazing place for a date! The food was great (we had pasta with salmon & carbonara), the service was amazing, & the chef went out to sing opera for us, & then stopped by our table to inquire about our experience. We felt valued & appreciated & will definitely come back ❤️

We had an amazing time at this restaurant! The chef/owner came to see us numerous times, he sang for everyone at the restaurant (live opera performance). The food was 5 star authentic Italian cuisine. The chef even came out to sing happy birthday to the birthday day personally. Ambience, vibes & hospitality were 100/10! 100% would recommend this gem! Thank you for the amazing experience, it is rare to find nowadays in Montreal.
