Jacopo is highly regarded for its authentic Italian cuisine and vibrant atmosphere, situated in a prime location that captures the charm of Old Montreal. Many guests praise the delicious pasta dishes, particularly the cheese wheel presentation, alongside highlights like the seafood linguine, tender short rib, and decadent desserts such as cannolis and tiramisu. While some visitors note that portions can be on the smaller side and the restaurant can become quite loud during peak hours, the overall consensus highlights professional and attentive service. Guests frequently commend the staff for their hospitable recommendations, welcoming demeanor, and ability to handle large groups or special celebrations with ease, making it a popular choice for both casual brunch outings and elegant evening dinners.
Pizza , pasta & appetizer were all beautiful & delicious. Staff serving was helpful in selecting wait was a bit long for dishes to arrive. Ambience was serene .
The restaurant's decor is beautiful & the atmosphere is pleasant. Unfortunately, I was disappointed with the food overall. While the main pasta dishes were very good, the appetizers did not meet expectations.
The beef carpaccio was particularly underwhelming - the meat lacked flavor & depth, which is disappointing given the price. The focaccia was also a letdown: just three pieces of very dry, hard bread with no herbs or softness. I mentioned it to the server, as it's surprising to be served something like this in a fine dining Italian restaurant.
The tiramisu was good, but not as creamy as I remembered - I've definitely had better here before.
Overall, I left feeling disappointed.

Mama Mia! I thought I knew what amazing restaurants were until I came to Jacopo today & it's officially one of my favorites now. First of all, let me just give huge credits to the waiters Pearce & the young blond lady ( I didnt catch her name unfortunately) but they were quite as amazing.They made us at ease, they were funny & were so patient & Pearce even took the time to listen to my dietary restrictions & made suggestions while the other waitress would always come & check up on us with a huge smile everytime. & the food omg , the soup was AMAZING & I am not exagerating, I had the soup of the day & it was asparagus & it was so so so tasty. For the main course I had the Lucio Perca & it was to die for , it was flavorful & the mashed potatoes were so creamy. For dessert we had the cannolis & the pistachio one was my favorite, it was not too sweet, just perfect & the presentation for all the plates was very cute especially for the Lucio Perca meal. Also, the restaurant is very beautiful & especially the part upstairs. Thank you for the wonderful experience, we had a great time! I will definitely come back again.
We had super tasty food & delicious wine. Our waiter Ludo Ludovic was absolutely fantastic-warm, kind, attentive & funny. This is a great place to grab a bite when strolling the beautiful streets of Old Montreal.
We had a great experience at Jacopo in Old Montreal! We had a reservation for later in the evening but tried walking in a bit earlier around 7:30pm on a Sunday - they weren't accepting walk-ins at that time, so we were lucky to have booked ahead. Definitely recommend making a reservation, especially on weekends, just in case.
The ambience was wonderful - the heated patio is beautifully lit, the main floor has a cozy, darker vibe, & the upper level feels more open & spacious. It's a surprisingly large restaurant, & despite the buzz, the music wasn't too loud, which made it easy to chat & enjoy conversation.
Our server was super friendly & spoke English, which made everything smooth. The mushroom gnocchi was delicious - perfect texture, great flavour, & just the right amount of sauce. They also have a nice selection of wines, & our food came out in about 15-20 minutes.
We noticed a few birthday celebrations happening, & it's clear Jacopo is great for groups or special occasions, with large tables available.
Overall, the food was excellent, prices were fair (around $15-20 for appetizers & $25-35 for mains), & the setting makes it a perfect spot for a date night, dinner with friends, or a family outing. Highly recommend!
We were fortunate to get an outdoor table without a reservation on a Sunday evening. Greeted with warm, welcoming smiles & seated right away under heat lamps that were perfect for the sunny but chilly evening. Not all restaurants in the area have heaters, & some had them but didn't turn them on. It was very nice to dine outdoors comfortably while enjoying the beautiful environment of Place Jacques Cartier which is so full of vibrant colors.
Maeva was the perfect server. Friendly & courteous, attentive & quite charming, she only enhanced our dining experience. The food was delicious. We had the calamari, focaccia bread, & burrata e prosciutto, all of which were very good. Then we had the spaghetti amatriciana & linguine pescatore, both of which were delicious & satisfying. The passion fruit mojito was good as well.
Overall, between the comfortable atmosphere, the wonderful service, & delicious food, you cannot go wrong dining here. We look forward to dining here again on our next visit to beautiful Montreal! Bon appetit!
