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.
A popular & busy Italian spot with a great selections of pasta. They're sangrias paired well with the Panzanella. I got the Spaghetti Amatriciana, which had a good level of spiciness that was not too hot or weak. Also dined outside & got to see a street performer juggle flaming sticks.
Absolutely wonderful experience. The food was great (we got a bunch of pasta dishes & the burrata). The waitress was a sweetheart & provided perfect recommendations. My only minor comment is that the food is so elegant but the vibe is rustic, so the mix was a bit weird (but not in a bad way).
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!
We came for mother's day & they had a limited menu, fine, but then they ran out of the salmon option, pasta was very mediocre & the beef chops were stringy. The appetizers were good but the main dishes we could've honestly made better at home. Regretted not stopping by a different Italian restaurant. Won't come back.

Aurelia, our server, the ambiance of the square, was only rivalled by our excellent meal! Highly recommend. We sat outside on the terrace & had the grilled calamari, tomato salad, seafood pasta & more…all amazing suggestions by our server. Would go again!
Excellent dinner. I had the lamb pasta which was fantastic. Patio heaters kept us warm & we stayed for hours enjoying the patio. Tristan & Emilien were fantastic hosts who kept us entertained for hours.
This was a really special meal. We happened to be in Montreal on my husband's April birthday, & this is the place he chose. The weather was perfect & they gave us a spot on the patio with heaters warming from the top. Our food was done to perfection. My husband had a seafood pasta dish & I had a spicy shrimp with a cooked grain in a creamy sauce. (not sure what kind) with grilled veggies. The waiters were very attentive & we could enjoy all the activities & live performances in the square or street the restaurant boarders. Thank you for making our evening special!
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.
Tristan & Alok were fantastic! They were attentive & provided a quick service. The food was great as well. The cheese wheel pasta tasted divine, & the tiramisu tasted amazing.
We stumbled upon Jacopo one evening & were intrigued by their cheese wheel pasta. Unfortunately, the restaurant was fully booked that night, but we were so eager to try it that we made a reservation for the next day. Sadly, because it was the weekend, the cheese wheel pasta wasn't available. However, our server recommended a similar ravioli dish, & it turned out to be delicious! The atmosphere was fantastic, & the food was excellent overall. Definitely a place worth visiting!
