About

La Marinara offers a focused menu centered on traditional Italian bistro staples prepared with consistent technical precision. Diners encounter a selection of handmade pasta dishes tossed in rich, herb-infused tomato sauces alongside artisanal pizzas featuring thin, blistered crusts baked in high-temperature ovens. The environment prioritizes an understated aesthetic where polished tables and efficient service facilitate a straightforward culinary experience. Menu items emphasize the integrity of imported ingredients, showcasing cured meats, creamy mozzarella, and seasonal vegetables sourced for their vibrant flavor profiles. The kitchen maintains strict adherence to Mediterranean cooking techniques, ensuring every plate delivers authentic textures and balanced seasoning. Each course reflects a commitment to functional simplicity, favoring robust, satisfying compositions that prioritize the foundational elements of regional Italian cooking over complex or experimental culinary presentations.

Nous etions 2 parents avec nos 4 ados. Le service etait sympathique & efficace. La nourriture est parfaite! Une vraie bonne bouffe italienne. Tous les plats étaient à notre goût: lasagne, veau, poulet, tartare. Même les pâtes en accompagnement étaient exquises. Les desserts aussi!

Restaurant très cher pour la quantité. 25$ pour seulement deux cannellonis, ridicule. Service moins que basique : pas de Bonjour comment allez vous, aucune présentation des plats du jour, n'est jamais revenu pour l'eau, aucune demande pour le nombre de factures. Puis à la fin, le serveur se plaint du faible pourboire (normal vu le peu de service) puis insulte en disant que c'est sûrement parce que c'est un Français.

Typical traditional Italian restaurant with high quality products, run by long time owners that used to be at Piedmontais. La Marinara is one of the best price quality option in Montreal. We had scallops as appetizers that were amazing. Then we had veal with pasta that were tasty & tender. Great for lunch & dinner. The owner recommended a 60$ bottle that was very good.
