This was our fourth visit with family in two years (we come each time we visit from the states). The food continues to be high-caliber/quality. The servers are professional & know how to serve. One server recognized us from previous visits, which was an added pleasure. Our server David, had a perfect wine recommendation that matched our four varied mains. The specials are well-conceived & all of the menu items are well-orchestrated. Nothing gratuitous on the plates, & the garnishes are perfect, nothing superfluous. In short, this is a professional, high-quality Italian restaurant with excellent service. Some of the best escargot & octopus that we've ever had. They also had a perfect dessert with sparkler for my father-in-law's birthday. Perfect classy touch.

I found this restaurant on a simple web search & based on the reviews I read decided to try this restaurant with my wife on our anniversary. Suffice it to say the service & food were very, very good. They have a set menu which you can see on their web site but they also have a menu that changes weekly. My wife & I both chose from the weekly menu, she & gnocchi & I had osso bucco with risotto. The gnocchi was like a cloud & the osso bucco melted in your mouth. The wine recommendation was spot on & the carrot cake for dessert finished offd the meal beautifully.
The attention to detail & the wecoming friendliness of all the staff was perfect. I highly recommend!

I had previously visited La Verita on a few occasions, with each dinner being better than the last. Subsequently my wife & I decided to have our reception dinner there this past Saturday & we're delighted we did. Derek, the owner of La Verita is without doubt a professional, who is extremely knowledgeable, & obviously someone who cares about making people feel comfortable. From helping us finalize our menu & our table layout to his greeting us at the reception desk on our special night, assured us we were in goods hands. My wife & I & each of our guests, some of whom were already pleasantly familiar with La Verita, were overwhelmed with the beautifully presented plates, the incredibly delicious food, extraordinarily professional & attentive staff, who's timing was absolutely perfect with everything. Our waiter for the evening was friendly, attentive a pleasure to deal with & blessed with perfect timing. The décor is a clean, modern look, with wavy demi walls, giving an inviting softness. Lighting is gives a warm comfortable ambience. The wavy half walls also help considerably in cutting down noise levels. As far as the food is concerned, every dish was incredible. Elegant presentations, Grand choice of delicious appetizers (including La Veritas amazing meat balls), & of course the main courses. The majority of our guests including myself chose the 10oz filet mignon. I've had many in my time & La Verita's are the best I have ever had, quite simply PERFECT. That was the unanimous opinion from all at our table which speaks volumes for La Verita's ability to produce high quality plates on a consistent basis. Don't try this at home folks, these guys are professionals. Everyone commented on the delicious food, wine & how smoothly everything went & how beautiful the entire evening was. Food , service, decor & ambience.... If I could give more stars I would. I'd like to thank Derek, his manager Tommy & the incredible staff at La Verita for turning a memorable evening for 2 into a beautiful event for 16. Bravo! Aug 6 2022 UPDATE: After a few years hiatus, we recently returned to one of our favorite restaurants. Unfortunately our experience deteriorated considerably since our last visit. I ordered their signature dish (10oz Filet Mignon), medium rare, served with broiled asparagus & a single carrot. The service was perfect as usual. Unfortunately the filet mignon was slightly overdone, asparagus was borderline & the carrot was absolutely raw. But the most concerning was the ambiance of this once classy establishment. Tattooed bikers entered wearing so much perfume we were forced to ask waiter to change our table, then we were placed beside another table where 4 men who's language was so inappropriate, I was embarrassed for bringing my wife. Unfortunately management & staff allow this type of behavior. This restaurant desperately needs a makeover has now become a really expensive brasserie.

I have been a regular guest at La Verita since its creation. The first thing you notice is the truly warm welcome, the classic ambiance...& then you are overwhelmed by the food & the service.
From pastas to fish & their grill, I have tasted most of their items on their refined menu....everything is always at its best! The wine selection to accompany your meal (before, during & after!) will add to your experience at La Verita.
Even after so many visits I still feel that a meal or even a private event is always a great experience you will want to repeat!
I have traveled the world many times & dined in many luxurious restaurants in foreign lands or waters but La Verita will always be "my" place of choice at any time! Challenge me!!!

I've dined at this restaurant various times for both lunch & dinner - for both business & pleasure. Every experience has been exceptional. Montreal doesn't have a good rep for it's customer service (anywhere) so the service at this resto is quite the unique experience. The staff are all very friendly & attentive. Your wine & water glasses are always topped up without asking. The menu is not long & complicated & the chef even accommodates special requests. The entrees are tasty & the tiramisu served in a martini glass is heavenly. The wait staff is not pushy but relaxed. Tommy & Fabien are by far the best wait staff in Montreal. Bottom line, great resto & will go back - often!
