Impasto earns widespread praise for superb food, an impressive wine list, and consistently warm, professional service in a stylish, intimate setting. Guests repeatedly call it a favorite, with standout dishes such as carpaccio, burrata with focaccia, gnocchi, tagliatelle bolognese, and panna cotta, all described as flavorful, well executed, and well paired with wine. The ambiance and attentive staff receive frequent compliments, and the terrace is noted as a lovely spot for a relaxed yet refined meal. A few reviews mention small portions for the price and occasional reservation or staffing hiccups, but the overall sentiment remains overwhelmingly positive and geared toward celebrating meals and special occasions. Taken together, the reviews highlight consistent quality, thoughtful wine guidance, and a dining experience that blends Italian hospitality with a welcoming, high end vibe.
I was visiting friends in Montreal & they suggested this restaurant. Though the space is very small, everything about it was worth the five stars I've given it! The food, & the service, could not have been better! Our waiter was attentive but not overbearing. The dishes he suggested were well-prepared & well presented.. One of the women in our party is vegetarian & she found multiple dishes to choose from. I highly recommend this restaurant.
WOW! The food here was absolutely delicious! We started with a few craft cocktails, I had the lemon one, it was refreshing & light. As a starter we had the Burrata, & what a surprise...served with a pistachio citron sauce that was incredible! Something very different than the usual Burrata dish. The sauce was soo tasty we were fighting over the last swipe with Foccia. For dinner I had the Branzino & my friend had the calamari with pasta dish. Both were fantastic! The fish was light, a little crispy & flavorful. Well balanced with the beurre blanc & the caviar was a nice touch, not overwhelming. The calamari was the freshest I have ever eaten. Soft, flavorful, not chewy in the slightest. We loved EVERY bite! Our waiter was attentive & very charming. He took great care of us. Highly recommend this place.
We were walking in the street & decided to try this place, it looked cozy from the outside. Seating area is good, a bit crowded & tables close to each other like every other restaurant in Montreal. Service was amazing, the staff really did their best. Food was delicious, ordered the chicken, & a kind of pasta. Both were great, I recommend also trying the Ricotta cheese with honey appetizer. The only down side for me was that the menu is a bit limited.
I came here for my birthday & was blown away by the food. One of the best Italian restaurants in Montreal, if not THE best. I also loved the vibe & decor. Highly recommend!
The interiors of the restaurant were beautiful & their food was just as good! We ordered pasta & all agreed that the food was great. The service was friendly & attentive, they kindly explained their menu & answered all our questions. Definitely recommend going to Impasto.

Excellent service & delicious homemade pasta every time we visit. Great atmosphere, very nice spot for a date night in the heart of little Italy. I highly recommend giving Impasto a visit!
Great selection of Italian food, as opposed to basic pasta & pizza options you get elsewhere. The plating was beautiful & the food tasted amazing. Would highly recommend
Fantastic service & food. The space is smallish & very personal, the wait staff was considerate & affable. Highly recommend making plans to visit this unique place for great Italian food.
Nous désirions essayer ce resto depuis quelques temps, grosse déception $ 150.00 txs & services inclus mais pour des pates petites portions, entrées, desserts & cafés sans vin avec eau pétillante: 1 bouteille! Pas de repas de viande, pas de vin. C'est très cher!!!
C'est dommage cela semblait prometteur.... je ne recommanderai pas ce
resto. En arrivant tout de suite une arnaque on me sert de l'eau plate en bouteille $4.50 quand toute les tables ont reçus une bouteille d'eau de la ville!
