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.
Honestly everything about the restaurant was a pleasant experience. I just find that when the antipasti (for ex: a prosciutto & burrata plate) & the main dish (aka pasta dish) are the same price..it's a little over exaggerated. The cocktails are also starting at $16. So, I guess decide for yourself what makes sense. Besides that the wait staff was lovely & friendly.
I recently dined at [Restaurant Name], & it was fantastic! The authentic Italian dishes were bursting with flavor, especially the homemade pasta. The ambiance was cozy, & the staff were attentive & friendly. Although we had to wait a bit longer to be served, we were gifted with a delicious cake, which made the experience even more special. Highly recommend for anyone craving delicious Italian cuisine. Can't wait to return!
Aurelia, one of the nicest people you will ever meet! This girl goes above & beyond. So friendly & easy going. Talking with her is like talking with a friend. This restaurant are very lucky to have this amazing girl! I ordered the cheese wheel pasta which the amazing Theo prepared in front of me, an amazing guy who was so friendly & charming! He made the experience very fun! I highly recommend this restaurant!
Food was delicious & the staff were friendly. We came around 2-3pm on a Wed. No wait time & we were seated right away. Had the seafood pasta & calamari. It was delicious. My cocktail was a bit pricey but good. The music was loud so keep that in mind if you're here for a date night. We had kids with us so weren't bothered.
Nice restaurant but overpriced for what it is; for 38$ pasta (without tips & taxes!!) you would expect the pasta to be home made & not out of a bag of Rummo Pasta.

With so many options to pick for dinner in Old Montreal, I am so happy we went with Jacopo! My partner & I had an amazing experience. Our server, Laura, was absolutely lovely & made us feel so welcome. She was attentive & made sure we were well taken care of throughout our meal. We started with the Caesar salad, which was easily the best I've ever had, & followed it up with the pasta from the cheese wheel, which was simply divine. The flavors were incredible, & I only wish I could eat this meal every day! I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a memorable dining experience with fantastic food & service.
First time to visit the place & we came back right away. We had a dinner reservation for Saturday & our server Aurella (not sure if I spelled her name right) was very friendly & accommodating. We had steak on our first visit & the bruschetta to share. Both were good. We have to come back on Monday night for the cheese wheel pasta since this is the main reason why we have to try Jacopo. We tried to look for Aurella but the place was quite busy that time. In the middle of our dinner, Aurella found us & said hello as she remembered as. She was a sweetheart to keep in checking on us even if we were not on her section. The pasta was really good & I must that the mash is so so so good that we have to order an extra side. On the other hand, the place is pretty packed & small but overall it was still a great experience.
Had the pleasure of having dinner at Jacopo twice on my trip to Montreal. Excellent pasta dishes & the service was exceptional. Tristam was our server both visits. He made great recommendations & provided excellent service. I would highly recommend Jacopo.
Dinner was wonderful! The pastas & grilled calamari were great, & our waiter, Tristan, made our night! He was personable & offered some great advice for the rest of our trip. Will hopefully be back!
Delicious Italian food on place jacques-cartier. The pastas are always great & they have an extensive wine list! I usually order the Orecchiette for a little bit of spice. The Carbonara is also incredibly delicious.
My cousin & I ordered some pasta which was delicious & calamari as a starter, waitress was very nice, right after we paid the bill someone showed up at our table & asked us to leave which I didn't appreciate that & didn't find it nice.
I was skeptical to eat on Place Jacques-Cartier as it's a very touristy, busy spot. But this is the place to go! What an amazing experience. 10/10 on wine, food & service! I hope to be back when in Old Montreal again. Linguini Pescatore, probably one of the best seafood pastas I've had.

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.
Went to go get the cheese wheel but was told it was going to be a 45min wait, so we ordered something else just for us having to wait over an hr for food. People who sat after us were getting fresh food before us. The food came cold & the pasta sauce was already dry, it stuck together...was not edible. Also asked for bread & was told there was none left & had to wait for fresh bread. we never got it while seeing other people getting a basket way after we asked, we had to ask again after a while just to get a basket.
Absolutely beautiful Italian restaurant located in the Old Port of Montreal neighborhood. This was an extremely refreshing switch up after we came to Montreal for the chaos of the Formula 1 weekend. Our server was very kind, & the atmosphere of eating pasta & drinking wine on the old cobblestone streets of Old Port while listening to street musicians playing beautiful music makes you feel as if you are in Europe. Our party ordered the Suppli al Telefono as an appetizer, which was a perfect portion & absolutely delicous. The wine list was well rounded, although certainly a bit pricey - not easy to get a mid-tier priced bottle to share, but we were satisfied with the Sangiovese that we ended up with. We ordered a variety of pastas & they were all delicious & certainly not too expensive for what we got! For anyone going to Montreal I would recommend eating here & visiting the Old Port area, taking a stroll on the river & enjoying the ambiance.
The cocktails are good, the staff is sociable, they just forget to serve water when it runs out. & the pasta is delicious, but the prices for food are very high. Glory to Ukraine !
