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.
Food was great & very reasonably priced. Super busy place. The service was lacking though. Took quite a while to get our drinks. It was like our server just disappeared, Served our food & we never saw him the rest of the night. Forgot to bring our our desserts, which they did comp us for, wich we did appreciate. Would definately go back though.
I loved Angie! Such a 10/10 waitress, she was so lovely & welcoming our party of 5 had a blast with her. The food was good, the drinks were Perfect, she kept it up with us.
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.

Came for my birthday & was not disappointed. The cocktails were fantastic- I asked for a lavender lemon drop & it was the best drink of the trip. For the entree, it was the truffle ravioli. The sauce was so creamy & balanced. Would definitely return
The experience was not great. The food was just okay, nothing special, & they didn't even have the parmesan pasta we specifically went for. We arrived about 30 minutes late because parking in the area is quite complicated, & the hostess told us to come back over an hour later. What made it worse was that she didn't even allow us to wait at the bar & have a drink, her attitude was very strict & not friendly at all when explaining this.
On top of that, it's quite expensive for what they offer. It was my birthday, & I ended up feeling very disappointed. I don't plan on coming back.
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!
Our first time at Jacopo was 10/10 - our 33rd wedding anniversary! Our food & drinks (especially my Negroni) were delicious. Dugan, Isa & Juliana could not have done a better job! We are very appreciative & grateful for a lovely evening - We will definitely return!
This was a real mixed bag. Ambiance was excellent as was most of the food & service. I ordered a Hendricks martini & they put olive juice in it. When I tried to return it, the waiter pushed back. I finally said I can't drink this, at which point the bartender comes over & says'my bad', & gave me a fresh drink. They also were pushing drinks very hard at the table. Most of our party didn't drink. We were then notified that we only had the table 1.5 hrs. Wait. What? It seemed like since there was no drinking, we weren't welcome. The table next to us were there before we arrived & drinking. They hadn't even gotten their food by the time we left. By 1.5 hrs, they asked if they could bring us the check. No coffee. No dessert. You get the drift ?
There were tables open all around us as well as the'entire second floor'. I go out all the time & never experienced anything like this. (& it was a Wednesday night).
