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.
De loin un de nos restaurants préférés maintenant ! C'est une belle découverte. Nous étions deux & nous avons gouté différents plats. Nous nous sommes régalés! De plus, le service était impeccable! L'attention du détail était parfait. 😊 nous reviendrons certainement.
Wish I could say that I was impressed but not. Had wanted to go for a long time. The food was not an "experience". It was ok but way less than my expectations. For that price (125+/person)... I mean wow. I've had much better & more value at many places before this one. If you want the service & atmosphere fine 5*. Food experience not so much. Sorry, I think it has reached past its peak. Will not go back.

J achete leurs produits a Morin Heights au IGA, & après une dure journée de travail je me conçoit un bon repas . Bientôt J irait à mtl me faire servir . Café, boulettes de viande & autres,très bon.
We had just a wonderful experience at this restaurant! We were in town for the solar eclipse & wandering through Little Italy in search of an Italian restaurant. We walked into Impasto & though they appeared completely full, they settled us at the bar overlooking the kitchen. Nicholas & Anthony were the staff members who assisted us all evening. They were very helpful with the wine & drink selection. We basically just let them pick our antipasto & dinner. Charles was the chef & he answered numerous questions through the meal. We started with the tuna & veal plate & then for entree we shared the mushroom parmesan ricotta gnocchi. We eat out a lot & I can honestly say it has been quite a while since I've had a meal that good. I have a feeling just about everything on their menu tastes this good. I wish I lived nearer! Thank you to Charles & Nicholas & Anthony for giving us a very enjoyable & memorable evening. It may honestly be worth the 21-hour drive from Minnesota to come back just for this restaurant!
Très bon restaurant. Les classics italiens sont tous présents. Le menu est simple & pas trop chargé, mais la qualité est au rendez-vous. L'ambiance chaleureuse est son plus grand atout.
My Bronzino was good, but nothing better than what I can make at home. The boiled zucchini was quite boring. The service was extremely rushed because they have a second seating.
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 wish I could remember exactly what I got, but my cocktail was incredible, the gnocchi & bread we ordered were outstanding, & the shrimp appetizer we had was just unbelievably good. We had never see such tiny shrimps, but they gave us SO much & they were just better with every bite. If you can get a table, it's worth the visit !

My partner & I opted for the 4-course meal priced at $90, & initially, I was a bit hesitant about the cost. However, we were very satisfied with our decision. The restaurant has a fantastic vibe, & the server was incredibly knowledgeable. They explained everything clearly & accommodated my partner's preference for no raw meat. The ambiance was just right-warm & cozy. The pastas, including the squash ravioli, were superb. The attention to ingredient quality was evident in every dish. Whether it's a date night or a special family outing, this place is spot-on :)
