Les avis sur Mare Porto Vecchio dessinent une expérience globale en balance entre cadre élégant, service attentif et cuisine italienne soignée, avec de nombreux retours positifs sur la présentation des plats, le soin apporté à chaque assiette et des cocktails et vins qui plaisent; certains soulignent une ambiance raffinée et une atmosphère conviviale qui peut varier entre intimité et élégance. Le service est fréquemment salué pour son professionnalisme et sa chaleur, même s'il arrive que les heures d'attente ou la coordination ne soient pas parfaites, et les commentaires sur le rapport qualité-prix évoquent des portions parfois modestes ou des plats qui manquent d'assaisonnement ou de cuisson idéale. Quelques visiteurs estiment que certains plats servent des produits frais et bien exécutés tandis que d'autres évoquent des expériences moins réussies, notamment lorsque les poissons ou fruits de mer ne sont pas à la hauteur. Dans l'ensemble, Mare Porto Vecchio demeure une adresse recommandée pour l'expérience globale, le décor et le service, mais il faut garder à l'esprit que les résultats culinaires peuvent varier selon la visite.
Very expensive, & poor food quality. Everything (filet mignon, pasta, etc) was way too salty, barely edible. The tuna tartare appetizer was good but barely three bites. The place is nice though & service professional.
Really phenomenal. High quality food. Amazing service. Waiters so transparent about what would be enough food for two. We Left & already made new reservations to bring friends. Really a truly fantastic experience.
From being greeted by lovely Georgia at the door to being served the most delicious meal by wonderful waiting staff, I LOVED this restaurant. The ambiance, the cocktail, the amuse bouche, the foccacia, the pasta - everything was fantastic! If I lived in Montreal I'd dine there on a regular basis! A+ ! Merci beaucoup!
The service truly stood out above everything else. Every detail was given such care, & the entire team was exceptionally professional. The food was also outstanding, & our waiter guided us beautifully throughout the evening. The restaurant itself is stunning - it perfectly blends a trendy, modern look with Old Port charm & subtle Italian touches. Overall, it was an excellent experience, so much so that we immediately booked to return the following weekend with friends.

I went to the restaurant with my girlfriend, & we decided to try a tasting menu, which we really enjoy doing. It allows the chefs to showcase their skills, & we were able to fully enjoy the experience at the seafood bar. We were welcomed by Kenneth, who did an exceptional job: professional, talented, & attentive. The salads & dishes he served us were perfectly balanced & incredibly fresh. I highly recommend this place!
L'endroit est magnifique & le service parfait !!! Bons cocktails & belle carte des vins. Cependant la nourriture, plus particulièrement le poisson entier, était décevant. La fraîcheur & manière de cuire laissait à désirer. C'était caoutchouteux & sans gout. A ce prix, il faut que ce soit irréprochable. Surtout que les poissons frais sont mis de l'avant. La gérance a compenser ce que nous avons grandement apprécié. Une fois mieux rodé (le resto est nouveau), ça devrait faire une différence. On y retournerait probablement mais pas tout de suite.
We went there for dinner & we were unfortunately disappointed by the food. The stuffed zucchini flower had a gelatine consistency almost like a jello shrimp flavour which we really didn't like. The plate of seafood to share was just okay, the presentation was disappointing for a plate at 120$, I expected more garnish with herbs, lemon, etc. The lobster bisque pasta was not bad but it was not great, I expected the pasta to be al dente for an Italian restaurant. As for the dessert, we usually are big on that & they only had 4 choices that looked sad so we ended up not taking anything. We will unfortunately not come back
Classic, timeless décor paired with excellent service.
Mare delivered delicious dishes, with an attentive staff & top-quality ingredients. The Focaccia was unforgettable: crisp at the edges, soft & airy at the center. Easily one of the best ones I've had in Montreal. Our personal favourites dishes were the Branzino Crudo - a fantastic white fish crudo with pistachio for crunch, a touch of chile, & creamy ricotta & the Tagliolini - a rich, velvety pasta enriched by aged Parmigiano & caviar. The Polpo was cooked beautifully, though the accompanying potatoes didn't quite elevate the dish & were a bit under-seasoned.
Overall, it was a fantastic evening. The service alone would make me return.

Speciali gli antipasti: la frittura mista e il polipo. Super le linguine all astice. Il servizio impeccabile. Addirittura Lo chef Giovanni è passato a salutarci. In fine buono pure l'amaro diel sig. Minucci.
One of the best Italian restaurants I've been to in my lifetime. The flavors are bold, & the quality of the ingredients are unmatched. You truly feel like you're transported to Italy. Our service was top notch, & Andy & Juan made our night exceptional. The shellfish tower was curated with precision, & the fish was fresh. The Paccheri & Branzino were some other stand out dishes of the night. Also, the bread board that came around paired with the olive oil gave it an extra touch. Will be returning next time we're in MTL!
