We have been to this restaurant many times & have never been disappointed as the food & the service & ambience, everything overall has been great.
Last night we were a group of seven & everyone was in agreement.
One person in our group has some allergies. Our waitress took the list of the allergiens & took them to the kitchen. She informed them of the allergies. The chef changed the meal that was ordered to have a completely new sauce to avoid all allergens that were listed, & created a special, absolutely delicious sauce for our friend.
This is a highly recommended restaurant.
We did order a few items from the specialties of the night. With appetizers & drinks from the bar. Nothing was below excellent.
Yesterday's dinner was exceptional! The atmosphere was warm & inviting, with a good sense of arrival. Our server (did not get his name) was incredibly attentive & knowledgeable, offering fantastic recommendations. The food was divine & the burrata appetizer was a highlight. My filet mignon was perfectly cooked, & the fresh ingredients truly shone through. Both my friend & I were very happy with our experience as the vibe was exceptional. Highly recommend for a special night out!

LOVE IT!!! Best Italian I have ever had. Fine cuisine, excellent service, thank you Patrick!!! Enjoyed every single dish but my favorite is the wild mushroom appetizer & the fig wrapped in bacon. Veal is unbelievably tender & flavorful. Can't wait to go back.
Food was absolutely delicious - we ordered about 5 appetizers each one better than the next. Mains were also fantastic. Our server Stephanie was fabulous! Thank you! We will be back 100%
Lunch with my cousin to celebrate his birthday. Great ambiance. We had crab cakes as appetizers & they were delicious. I had the sea bass & he had the braised beef both were very tasty. Can't wait to return. Service was attentive.

Great restaurant!
It was our first time & it will not be the last one. Appetizers were very generous & main course were very good. What I appreciated the most is that the cook adjusted my meal to my taste. They did a grilled Veal Tomahawk for one ( it was not on the menu ) & it was very good. This is what I call customer service & a great cook that is ready to please its Clientele.
dessert was a nice touch to finish the meal & the shots of Sambuca were a must to end a great evening.
In addition, we did not have one waiter but three. Efficiency, fast response & great food & wine recommendations.
Congratulations to the entire La Verità team. You all deserve a 5 Stars.
Thank you again!
On Thursday December 14th we had our company Christmas dinner at La Verita. We were a party of 20. We had a multi-course meal which included fresh bread & focaccia, calamari & crab cakes, an appetizer of prosciutto, melon & mozzarella, a plate of penne pasta with tomato sauce, a green salad, & a main course of braised beef or salmon. Dessert was home-made tiramisu. The food was excellent. There were plenty of wine choices & a variety of hot drinks to follow the meal. The service was consistent & friendly. We were quite amazed that the food was hot & served all at once. Derek & his team did an excellent job. We will most certainly have future dinners at La Verita. Definitely a restaurant with class, great service, & excellent food!
What can I say, this is literally my favorite restaurant in Montreal! Food is absolutely amazing & the service is second to none. Decor is cozy & they have a great selection of Scotch at the bar. desserts are also off the charts! I highly recommend the maple cheesecake & the crème brûle! Getting the Burrata as an appetizer is also a must, best I've ever had! Prices are also very reasonable considering the quantity & quality of the dishes, you'd easily pay double downtown for food half as good. I also recommend sitting at the bar & getting a drink with Joe the bartender, super friendly & really helpful in suggesting what to eat & drink. This is a must visit if you're ever in the West Island area! Keep up the great work guys!
Excellent service from Stéphanie for my boyfriend's 41st Birthday on Friday September 15th.
We had cocktails, wine, appetizers, the main course was hard to choose & you know how it is.... You always wish you had picked the first choice... (which was the Ossobucco ) Even the second choice which was the Risotto with fungi & cream & unicorn whispers====they will never admit it but they use it as a secret ingredient
So I had the Ricotta Gnocchi topped with Burrata. Still good bug I'm never really hungry by the time we get to our main courses.... Not after 3 appetizers & sometimes bread
It was awesome. Stéfan was very pleaded.
Stephanie gets mentioned in a lot of reviews because she is a pro & also quick, efficient & the right amount of talking back .

As we entered, we were welcome right away by the hostess. She walked us to our table for our meeting lunch. Service was great, water with lemon was brought to the table, & some bread to munch on while we decided on what we wanted to order. The waitress presented with details each of the dishes that were available but not on the menu. We all ordered mains, & she recommended to order an appetizer to share as it might take a while to get our mains, which we did. The service had a good flow, & we never had to ask for our water to be filled. We were checked up upon multiple times, & we appreciated that. The food itself was good. Quality ingredients, flavorful & enjoyable. We all cleared our plates. I would highly recommend for lunch time.
Thank you
Excellent service - Great selection of appetizers, order the Speck with fabulous Panzanella salad & Octopus- followed with rib steak, lamb chops (yum) & fish with saffron sauce. Very lucky to have such a great restaurant in the West Island.
The meal was divine, the service was stellar, & the restaurant is classy. My husband ordered escargot (appetizer) & veal scallopine, & it was Cajun salmon for me. The meal was beautifully presented & not a morsel was wasted. For dessert it was a warmed brownie with ice cream & we enjoyed it.
Besides the meal & restaurant being wonderful, the bathroom was spotless which just added to the already awesomeness of the place. Alain tended to us as if we were family. Thank you very much & we hope to be back with friends.
No vegeterian/vegan option on the menu. The head server ruined my birthday night cause he lost his patiance when we asked a question about the appetizers! I am very disappointed. I regret that we didn't leave right away! Waste of money .
This is our first time in here. The services are great! David introduced their special appetizer which not on the menu, we amazed & by the authentic Italian food.
We had heard of La Verita from family & friends, & since we were celebrating my wife's birthday, we decided it would be the best time to try it out. Booking a reservation is easy through their website. We arrived promptly for our 5:30 slot & were seated immediately.
Our waitress, Stephanie, was extremely friendly & quick. She gave us a full rundown of all the off menu items as well as answering our questions about the menu. We started off with the escargots & pan fried scallops for appetizers, which were delicious. The scallops melted in your mouth. They also gave us a small starter plate of focaccia, olives & sun dried tomatoes.
Our main dishes were the red deer medallion, short rib (Which was an off menu item) & the bavette (8oz angus flank). Each dish had a choice of soup or salad. All our dishes were excellent. Cooked exactly how we wanted it.
& as a nice surprise, Stephanie brought my wife some complimentary tiramisu dessert for her birthday.
