My wife & I went with a group of 10 people. Everyone was happy. We had the braised short rib (55$) & seafood risotto (40$). I had the rib & it was delicious. Served removed from the bone & on top, with a side of veg. My wife had the risotto & thought it was good, but lacking a little in flavor. Our server was Nicolas. Very charismatic, friendly, attentive & a pleasure.
We had an exceptional experience from start to finish. The service was truly impeccable - the staff was incredibly kind, professional, & very attentive. It quickly made us feel right at home, which made the whole experience even more enjoyable.
As for the food, everything was outstanding. The cooking of each dish was perfectly executed. For appetizers, we ordered the octopus, fried calamari, burrata, & beef carpaccio. The octopus was simply delicious, cooked to perfection. The calamari were also among the best we've ever had.
For the main courses, we had the striped bass, lamb chops, clam pasta, & short ribs. Every dish was flavorful, beautifully prepared, & the portions were generous.
This restaurant has been open for 17 years, & now I completely understand why. A truly wonderful discovery!
A big thank you to Stéphanie & the entire team for such a warm welcome & a memorable evening.
We celebrated my parents' 50th anniversary here & it was amazing. Great food, great wine, & the space was perfect-but the service really stood out. The team was so thoughtful & attentive, taking care of every little detail. They made the night feel extra special. Highly recommend!
Had a lovely time, Dovina
was very attentive, service was the very best. Food was DELICIOUS!
This restaurant does not disappoint, a true treasure.
Thank you for making my friend 65 birthday special.
Outstanding experience. Nicholas, our waiter, was very attentive to our needs. Our first visit celebrating a birthday & everyone made us feel so welcome. Highly recommend.
Really impressed with the quality/selection of meals & top notch service at the La Verità Restaurant. Made a great dining experience for our family group of 4 adults. Can't praise enough the service staff, super attentive & helpful with suggestions/info about meals & desserts. Also excellent wine selection. Lovely place certainly worth a visit :)

I went with my son & his girlfriend & we loved the food. Had the octopus, crab cakes, sea bass & clam pasta. All were delicious. The service was also very good. The waitress was pleasant, attentive & knew her menu & specials very well. Will be going back!
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!
The service was excellent- attentive, friendly, prompt but not rushed.
The food was delicious. Crab cakes were exceptional. You could truly taste the crab & they were lightly battered. Their gnocchi were very good. My favourite is their liver with onion. The liver is tender & tasty. We have been their a few times & never disappointed.
Stunning & delightful dining experience. The staff is courteous & attentive (thank you Luca, Tomassi & Derrick), the atmosphere lends itself to a superlative dining experience, & the food is exquisite. Lots of extra/daily options on top of the standard menu, all of it delicious. You'll end up sharing, & will be hard pressed to decide whom amongst your group ordered the best dish.
It's our first night in Montreal & it's my birthday! 🥳 My daughter made reservations at La Verità.
They started us off with a plate of focaccia, olives & sundried tomatoes. This was our first meal of the day & it waa yummy, it opened up our appetite. 😋
We had three different staff looking after us. They suggested items not on the menu so to start, we selected the Burrata with pistachios, pomegranate & a honey balsamic drizzle with sourdough strips. This was a delicious starter, & very filling!😋
Our mains were the Lasagna & the Lobster Ravioli in a cream sauce. My daughter loved her Lobster Ravioli 🦞, my lasagna could feed two. Although it was meaty & cheesey, something about the pasta was lacking, a four out of five for me.
We ended our night with desserts, but before we ordered, the staff was nice enough to bring out a slice of Tirimasu with a lit candle. I'm not a big fan of Tirimasu, (but I truly appreciated the thought). We ordered the apple crisp with vanilla ice cream & the carrot cake with walnuts. These desserts were exceptional!😋😋
The staff were attentive & friendly, & a special shout out to Nolan, who was so kind & helpful, teaching us proper French translationings.🤭😜
It was a wonderful evening, & a fabulous start to our vacation. 🎉🍷
Our first visit & we were very impressed with the decor & ambiance. The wait staff were exceptional & attentive - Stef took extremely good care of us. The meals we chose arrived quickly, beautiful presentation & tasted delicious. Wine selection was also excellent & clearly many private importation items. A delightful experience - the only tiny negative is that by 7:30PM on Friday the general customer noise level, did make conversation a bit challenging.

Absolutely exceptional. The food is consistently flawless-fresh, authentic, & beautifully prepared. Derek & his staff are just as impressive: warm, attentive, & incredibly knowledgeable. They always make us feel welcome & appreciated. A truly top-tier Italian dining experience & a must whenever you find yourself in the West-Island.
There has clearly been a change in the kitchen &/or management. The food is now mediocre, & while the service is still acceptable, it lacks the attentiveness it once had.
This place is no longer what it used to be. We were regulars several years ago & even went so far as to book the entire restaurant for corporate events. Back then, the food was absolutely amazing & the service was spot-on. Coming from that perspective, our recent visit was a real disappointment.
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.
Absolutely phenomenal. Every dish we tried was impressively well done - from presentation to flavor, the kitchen clearly takes pride in their craft. The staff was on point the entire evening: warm, attentive, & effortlessly professional. It felt like they anticipated our needs before we even had to ask. This place doesn't just serve food - it delivers a complete experience. They are the benchmark for what a true, classic, professional restaurant should be. Refined, consistent, & exceptional in every way. We left already planning our next visit.
Service was amazing, very attentive servers, food was amazing. The octopus was cooked to perfection & the Gnocchi was delicious. Recommend eating it with their warm fresh bread.
