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.
This restaurant was definitely great & I do understand why it has such great reviews. From the starters till main course, everything was awesome. Must try is their Cheese wheel. Their starter options, main course & secondary course were awesome. Their dessert options were fairly good. Must try. It's best recommended to book tables.
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!
