Jacopo stands out in Old Montreal with a warm, stylish vibe and a menu that delivers Italian classics with bold, fresh flavors. Reviews highlight friendly, attentive service and knowledgeable wine suggestions, and the atmosphere ranges from cozy intimate dining upstairs to lively terrace evenings. The food is repeatedly praised for quality and flavor, from crisp bruschetta, burrata and calamari to seafood pastas, gnocchi and the signature cheese wheel pasta prepared at tableside, along with desserts like tiramisu and cannolis. The wine list and cocktails pair well with many dishes, helping meals feel special for a date, a celebration, or a group dinner. While some guests note that portions can be small or prices a bit high and a few service hiccups or noisy moments, the consensus is that Jacopo offers a memorable experience with generous hospitality and superb Italian cooking that keeps guests coming back.
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!

We had a fantastic meal at Jacopo, a charming Italian restaurant in the heart of Old Montreal. From start to finish, everything was delicious & beautifully prepared.
We started with the fried calamari, & it was honestly some of the best we've ever had - perfectly crispy, tender, & full of flavor. For drinks, we enjoyed a refreshing glass of sangria & a Rose', both of which paired really well with the meal & added to the relaxed, lively ambiance.
For our mains, we had the pappardelle with lamb, spaghetti with pork - each one was cooked al dente & full of rich, bold flavors. The lamb pappardelle was especially memorable - tender meat, silky sauce, & pasta that tasted homemade. Everything tasted fresh & authentic, like a little trip to Italy. I wanna come back & try the pesto Pasta & other dishes!
It was an amazing experience my hunband & i went yesterday Friday May 1 in the evening with reservation. We got a text letting us know that our table was ready. Our server was welcoming & beautiful ambiance inside. My husband ordered an initial drink he didn't like & got a replacement. The food was amazing, fresh & flavourful. Would fully recommend!!
The restaurant is beautiful inside with modern touches on a traditional building! The staff was very friendly & dressed well. The food was so delicious! I can't believe how good the Cheese Wheel pasta was! It was pretty cool to have it prepared with flames at tableside! The cannolis were a great end to the meal as well.
Celebrated my 35th birthday with dinner at Jacopo & what a wonderful experience!! I must say; the bartender makes one damn good old fashioned! Every dish that we ordered was excellent & melted in our mouths. The highlights for us was surprisingly the chicken & the ragù a l' agnello. The braised short rib was cooked perfectly but we found needed some salt . Our server Emelien was amazing & deserves a bonus !! absolutely amazing staff & compliments to the chefs. A little bit tight seating. But beautiful spot. Highly recommend Jacopo. Tell em' Jay sent ya.!

I had the truffle pasta & bruschetta, & both were absolutely delicious-highly recommended! Despite being part of a group of around 14 people, the service was impressively fast. Our server, Tristan, was fantastic he recommended great dishes & was very attentive throughout our meal. The décor is beautiful, with a perfect blend of rustic & modern aesthetics that creates a warm & inviting atmosphere. Creating a intimate atmosphere which is lovely for gatherings with friends or even next time a romantic dinner. The tiramisu was also pretty good, with its creamy texture & rich chocolatey flavour. While the prices are on the higher side, it's understandable given the Old Port location. For the quality of food & service, I would definitely return.
It is such a beautiful store. I recommend the beef bolognese. It is absolutely delicious. The outdoor space is beautiful with lots of vines going on the walls & beautiful candles. The indoor is so beautiful with a very old fashioned setup. It looks out on Old Montreal which is stunning & the food is just amazing.
Lovely restaurant in the heart of Old Montreal. We had a beautiful birthday dinner here with excellent service by Dugan & Igor. Dugan recommended a wine on the menu which I enjoyed & was very knowledgeable, warm & welcoming. Such a good experience!
