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.

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.

Loved my pizza. Lardons & arugula topping, & it was delicious. My partner's Caesar salad with chicken was not great. I partially blame her, because an adult should not be ordering Caesar salad with ANYTHING on the side. A Caesar salad should be self sufficient. However, the romaine & the breaded chicken topping were not the best. (As I earlier wrote, if you order Caesar salad with chicken, you deserve what you get.) The romaine was past prime. The chicken was not done right. But I'd go back here, because everything else I saw in the restaurant says that they deserve a second chance. & my pizza was just so good!

C'était tellement bon! Arancinis, saladea, gnoccis, pizza, pâtes & raviolis! Wow! & cette ambiance quand le chef chante, c'est tellement agréable. La moitié de la famille a dû quitté plus tôt & j'espère que ça n'a pas été perçu négativement, puisque c'était un repas sans faute! Le service était impeccable, les gens accueillants & nous avons eu une très belle fin de soirée.

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!

The pizza was good, but not the typical Italian one as I know from Europe. The gnocchis were delicious & the Ambiente was very good. The chef is a tenor & showed us his skills, we really enjoyed it. We would go there again if we will be in Montreal again.

I had a really lovely night. The staff is incredibly nice. The chef sang a lovely opera song & went to every table to ask if everything was good. The waitress was super sweet & patient while we were making our wine choice. I had the half pizza + salad special. The salad was very good. The pizza had really good flavor but it was a little soggy. The restaurant is super cute but the lighting is a little too bright for my preference. All in all - very enjoyable evening 😊
