An inviting Italian spot in Old Montreal where the vibe is warm and refined and the menu centers on fresh pasta and seafood, with the cheese wheel pasta prepared at the table standing out; service is consistently attentive and friendly, guiding guests through dishes and accommodating dietary needs and celebrations; the atmosphere on both the main floor and the terrace is lively yet comfortable, making it ideal for dates, groups, or special occasions, and the wine list and desserts beautifully complement the meals.
The food & service were average, & some dishes were a bit salty. The cheese board was especially delicious & one of the highlights of the meal .the overall experience was wonderful, & the atmosphere was warm & inviting
I had high expectations for Jacopo, but unfortunately the experience fell short in a major way. The food itself was decent-around a 7/10. It wasn't bad by any means, but it also didn't stand out enough to make up for everything else.
The real issue was the service, which was extremely disappointing. From the moment we were seated, we were barely acknowledged. No one checked in on us throughout the meal-not once. We weren't asked how the food was, if we needed anything, or even offered basics like grated cheese for our dishes.
When we finished, no one came by to ask if we wanted dessert or another round of drinks.
What made it more frustrating was that we could clearly see other tables being attended to regularly.
Servers were checking in, chatting, & providing attentive service to other guests, while we were essentially ignored. It felt dismissive & honestly uncomfortable.
Good service is just as important as good food, & this experience lacked it entirely. I wouldn't return or recommend Jacopo based on how we were treated.

The food was delicious! The calamari fritti was perfectly crispy & my linguine pescatore was perfect al dente with refreshing creamy lemon flavor. My husband got the pollo cacciatore; even though the chicken was a bit dry, the pasta in the dish was full of flavor like home made. Wanted to try the cheese wheel pasta but i'm a sucker for seafood linguine! Would go try it the next time for sure!
4 stars only because the noise level can get high when it's busy. Was having a hard time even talking to the server, who was doing a great job by the way!
I went here on my one year anniversary with my girlfriend last night & was immediately impressed by the professionalism from our server Bastien Raine. If our drink was below level, he was quick to offer a refill. Brought everything out in a timely fashion as well.
We both got the cheese wheel with chicken & it was absolutely fantastic. Some of the best pasta I have had in years, the chicken, cooked to perfection & seasoned gracefully.
To cap it off, Bastien offered both of us a glass of champagne on the house to celebrate. I wish I could have tipped more than I did because everything was flawless. I will be telling everyone to come over to Jacopo!
The food was good overall, however, the cheese wheel pasta was overpriced, as the truffle flavor wasn't very pronounced. Also, the waiter mentioned that the cheese wheel presentation wasn't available because it was the festive season, which was a turn-off.
Food was be very good, but went specifically for the pasta cheese wheel special & were told it was too busy so there was no presentation. We were disappointed as part of the appeal of the pasta is seeing them mix it in the cheese wheel. A lot of people around us also came for this pasta, so something to consider for future guests

Celebrated my wife's birthday here. The service was exceptional, & the food quality was outstanding. Very clear & distinct flavors in each dish. We tried the grilled calamari, caprese salad, cheese wheel pasta, & ragu. Special props to Laura who hosted us!
Ultimately went for the cheese wheel but as mentioned by our server on weekends they don't offer it because of how busy it is. Food was good overall. Service was good. Solid 8/10
One of the most top rated Italian restaurants in the area. Prices on the costlier side.
The cheese wheel was a very good experience. Must try.
Food was nice. Ambience & Service was amazing

Good food, nice atmosphere & friendly service. The cheese wheel main dish was fun to see & delicious. The entrees were disappointing except for the burrata e prosciutto. I recommend for a nice meal in place Jacques Cartier but it is pretty much like any other Ilatian restaurant in MTL.
Knowledgeable staff, caring for your experience, while also excellent at pacing the courses of your meal. We were handled by a multitude of servers from entrance to exit, & every single one was kind & accommodating.
The Sunday cheese wheel was rich & extravagant, but the taste of the tartufo was something else. & the tiramisu? Like eating a cloud.
One of my all time favourite dining experiences. Wish I lived closer to go more often!

This is such an amazing restaurant. The food, service & ambience is incredible. The cheese wheel experience is nothing like I have seen before. Hats off to the team there!
We were early for reservation. Hostess was very accommodating. We moved inside for our meal. This did not disappoint. We had the fettuccine in the cheese wheel. What a fun experience. THE FLAVOR!!!!!. Our waiter knew we weren't in a rush. He was excellent. I can't wait to go back.
Overall very cool place! Nice Italian food & a great location near the river & close to the ferris wheel. Highly recommend the cheese board. Giving 4 stars cause the service was a bit slow. For example they brought our wine to us after they brought the food, we had to ask for water multiple times, etc.
I went on a Wednesday evening. I took a reservation for 6 people so we were seated promptly. They have a nice variety of options, however on the pricier side obviously. I finally got to try the'cheese wheel' options, which i have been wanting to try for a while. They do it in front of you, which is nice. For the food, everything was impeccable. Unfortunately, two people from my group got the food way after, with the rest already being finished. That was kind of a disappointment, with us paying a lot after all. The waitress was still very excellent & helped us through the situation.
