Impasto se dégage comme une adresse italienne incontournable où la nourriture est savoureuse et la carte des vins généreuse, servie par un personnel chaleureux et attentif qui accompagne les convives du début à la fin. Les avis soulignent une expérience globalement impeccable, des plats parfaitement exécutés et des conseils avisés sur les vins, dans une ambiance conviviale qui se prête aussi bien aux repas en famille qu'aux soirées entre amis. Le cadre chaleureux et européen, notamment en terrasse, est souvent apprécié et contribue à des moments festifs ou à des dîners tranquilles. Certaines remarques évoquent des portions modestes ou un prix élevé, mais la qualité des produits et la rapidité du service restent largement louées. Globalement, Impasto est perçu comme une valeur sûre de la scène italienne montréalaise, avec l'envie récurrente de revenir.
Walked into Impasto just as lunch was winding down & was greeted with warmth. I got a lovely table by the window, perfect for soaking in the ambiance. Service? Flawless. Attentive without being intrusive.
I started with the minestrone, rich, hearty, & full of flavour, followed by the porchetta, which was nothing short of spectacular. Perfectly crisp on the outside, juicy on the inside, & beautifully plated over creamy beans & greens. A balanced dish in every sense.
Wines by the glass were decent, & the prices across the board were very reasonable for the quality. Between the food, the service, & the setting, this is a top-tier spot in Little Italy. No complaints, just compliments.
We arrived early, just before 6, & we were the first customers. However within the hour every seat was full.
The staff was extremely friendly & helpful, with food & drink suggestions.
We came prepared for a lot of food & we were not disappointed. We started with a plate of olives, salami, & mozzarella cheese. The salami was cut paper thin & delicious.
Next we split a green salad. The greens were fresh & the dressing was just right.
Next we split a plate of spinach ravioli with tomato sauce. The flavor was delightful.
Finally the main course. We each had a fish dish, one halibut & one sea bass. The portions were generous, the fish was perfectly cooked, & the sauces were great.
Our server suggested wine pairings that were enjoyable.
We also had cannolis for dessert. They were light with flaky crust & just right.
Overall a great experience. We will definitely return.
Amazing experience at Impasto with my son. The vitello tonnato & the octopus with bone marrow were delicious. The rest of the meal was great too. & a plus...natural wine on the wine list 😍 Highly recommended...we will be back!
We happened upon Impasto on our way to Jean Talon market. What a delightful surprise. We only have superlatives for the time we spent with Charles & his team. The food was incredible , the service impeccable, the wine list extensive & the ambience relaxed & welcoming. Thank you Charles & your team!
Best Italian cuisine i've ever had. Staff were kind & attentive, quick to help with a wine pairing. First night of a new menu & they knocked it out of the park. Will be back.

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!
My new favourite place to go to for Italian food in Montreal. The food, service, & wine selections are fantastic. Will definitely be visiting when I return.
