Amazing real Italian pastas

Excellent food overall for quick & efficient fix of my fresh pasta craving. Everything is on point (if we still say that in 2024). Dishes are cooked right in front of you while. Gnocchis are soft & buttery, guanciale in the carbonara is fried just enough to be crispy yet not burned. Only downside is this location is mostly for takeout, but they do have a table for 8-10 people to sit communally.

First off the chef is great, he will accommodate you fully if you have any tweaks you would like to do to any of the listed menu items. The pasta is great & the meatballs are awesome. Nice little shop in old Montreal !

Excellentes pâtes. Je le recommande mais allez-y en dehors des heures de déjeuner habituelles car l'attente est longue. Fraîcheur garantie. Le cuisiner est italien, il aime son travail.

My colleague recommended this spot for a business lunch. I ordered the Campanelle & truly enjoyed it. It was simple, light & I could not get enough of the sauce!

If you're looking for an authentic Italian dining experience without booking a flight to Italy, Il Miglio is the place to be. I've tried countless Italian restaurants, & none have left me as satisfied & impressed as this one. If I could give this place more than 5 stars, I absolutely would. Everything about Il Miglio is genuine, from the chef's passion for authentic Italian cooking to the carefully selected ingredients that go into each dish. The dough is made with a traditional touch, the sauces are rich & flavorful, & the attention to detail is unmatched. The flavors are not just there; they shine in every bite. Each dish takes you on a journey to Italy with its depth of taste & authenticity. One of the highlights of dining at Il Miglio is their daily special. I always end up choosing the dish of the day, & I'm never disappointed. The creativity & variety they bring to the table make every visit a new & exciting culinary adventure. I'm never afraid to try something new here because I know it will be exceptional. In fact, I went today & just had to write this review. Today's dish was the Rigatoni Gricia, & it was absolutely divine. What sets this Il Miglio apart is its consistency & dedication to quality. I sometimes drive all the way from Laval just to dine here, even though there are other franchisees under the same name. This particular location surpasses them all, offering an experience that feels uniquely special every single time. The ambiance is cozy & welcoming, making it perfect for a relaxed meal with family or friends. The staff are friendly & knowledgeable, always ensuring that every guest feels at home. You can taste the love & effort that goes into the food, which is rare to find these days. Whether you're craving a classic pasta dish or something from their ever-changing daily specials, Il Miglio delivers on every front. It's the kind of place that turns a casual meal into a memorable dining experience. Do yourself a favor & visit Il Miglio, you won't be disappointed. It's Italian cuisine at its finest, right in our backyard.
