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.
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 !
Came while visiting Montreal. The location is in the heart of old Montreal. We had the cheese wheel pasta which was a unique & delicious experience! Wish we could have reserved a spot on the patio is my only draw back.
Great food...I mean exceptional pasta. Service was horrible. Didn't bring our drinks, didn't bring bread to the table & our sever never came one time to check on us. Not once.
We loved our meal at Jacobo! Everything was delicious. The chicken & the cheese wheel pasta were standouts! The carbonara was a bit disappointing. Lovely interiors plus outdoor seating.
I was in MTL for a girls trip & I came to Jacopo on a last minute plan. I had Tristan as my server & he provided absolutely excellent service & If anyone is looking to get some good pasta & exceptional tiramisu I would definitely recommend this place.
This was our second Easter at JACOPO but the brunch experience was definitely not worth the price tag this time. For $39, a bowl of pasta or a sandwich with dry potatoes, that is quite steep. The smoothie was merely glass of yogurt which tasted stale. The pain perdu at the end was a small stack of bite sized squares hard to bite & the chocolate sauces were nowhere to be seen, probably due to microwave reheat. Shamefully expensive. Three stars for service & decor. Jacopo, do better!
I made the reservation for 8:45 & had to wait 25 minutes more to get the table. The receptionist was great, but the waitress pretty impatient. I asked about the dessert options & she said "you should wait everybody in the table to finish eating, after you ask for the dessert!" EXCUSE ME?!?!?! She kept looking judgy at our table the whole time. The pasta was really good, also the drink, but the dessert is only average dessert.

Service was very friendly & attentive, dishes were good but not 5 star good. We tried squid pasta. Cocktails need improvement. There are limited vegan options but they are flexible to change some dishes per ask.
You know the kind of restaurant where this is just a business for them & there is no evidence of anyone with culinary passion in the kitchen. Where you think to return your pasta because it's mid, but you know it will come back just as mid so you eat it anyways because you are count to overpay for it anyways so might as well get it over with. That's this place. The waitresses were nice & the place is awesome, great ambience. Just mid food.
The food was great! The seafood pasta was amazing. The Cesar salad had way too much dressing but we didn't complain about it because our server was really ( Tristan D). We will come back!!!
**Vegans Beware** Jacopo has an great service staff & vibrant atmosphere; suitable for celebrating any occaision. When it comes to plant-based food options, their vegan pannacotta dessert was a true gem but their main plates were unfortunately lack-lustre. They advertize vegan versions of their pastas but we were served plain pasta with boiled Rapini stems. At least the rapini was blanched correctly but the pasta wasnt even given a simple tomotoe sauce... not even olive oil. Should not have left the kitchen in that state.
Jacopo serves various types of pastas, & they are all amazing ! They also add tons of Parmesan on top when you ask for it :) I do really recommend the squid ink pastas. Just don’t smile after finishing your plate 🤣
There’s also a large choice of cocktails.
The atmosphere of the place is cool! Classy.
This place gave me my favorite meal of the trip, by far. The food is delicious, pasta cooked to have just the perfect amount of bite to it. I love me some fresh pasta, especially after my recent trip to Italy & this restaurant certainly met the standard for pasta I’ve developed since then. The drinks are great, lots of fun cocktails. Our server Tristan D chatted with us, asked us where we were from, & made us feel so welcome. He was so kind, & I can’t wait to come back as soon as I can. 10/10
We were there for NYE & god it was terrible. The place it self is beautiful but the food was flavorless & poorly executed. When you pay a fix price of 100$ each for a fix menu, you expect to get good food considering that the chef is only doing a few thing a not the full menu. The risotto was terrible & pasty, the pasta where not tasting anything, the portion were really small & I could go on & on regarding the food. Really wanted to leave at some point.. considering I knew I would end it with a 300$ bill for food a 5 years old would of done better. Never again.
