Info & Location
Tucked away on one of downtown’s quieter streets, La Marinara has subtlety down to an art. Warm colours and soft light, potted plants and flickering candles create a soothing, unassuming atmosphere. Music plays low and ambient, setting the tone but never intruding on the conversation. For this reason, La Marinara is best suited for romantic dinners or quiet business lunches. Designed in the style of the French bistro, it specializes in Italian pasta dishes. Primavera, bolognese, alfredo, carbonara, amatriciana: the usual suspects are present in all sorts of savoury permutations.
If you’re looking for veal, there may be no restaurant in the city better suited to your needs. Why not try the breaded veal, or bring crispy and cream together in sonorous harmony with the veal parmigiana. Did we mention the veal with lemon?

We had the spaghetti carbonara & the bolognese. The portions were generous.
The carbonara didn't sit well with me, unfortunately. Personally I think it had too much cream cheese.View more

Had a wonderful experience that highlighted our visit to MTL.
I booked a reservation for my partner & I ,for one of our first fine dining experiences together in MTL.
Pasta was exquisite , first taste was like like heaven.
Accommodated us with our seafood & nut allergies & made us feel welcomed the whole visit .
Will definitely be returning on our future visits.
Thank you everyone at La MarinaraView more

Le service est toujours exceptionnel, notre serveur est toujours très amical & souriant. J'ai adoré mes fettucinis papalina & mon copain son veau! Je recommande cet endroit, surtout si vous êtes dans le centre-ville.View more

Je vais chez La Marinara depuis plusieurs années, & c'est toujours un pur délice. Chaque visite est une valeur sûre : les plats sont savoureux, réconfortants & pleins de caractère. On sent l'amour de la cuisine italienne dans chaque bouchée. L'ambiance est chaleureuse, intime, & le service est attentionné sans être trop formel. & que dire du tiramisu… un dessert décadent, parfaitement équilibré, qui termine le repas en beauté. C'est le genre de restaurant où on revient encore & encore, parce qu'on sait qu'on y mangera toujours bien. Une adresse coup de coeur que je recommande chaudement !View more

Quaint little Italian restaurant. Service was prompt & attentive & very friendly. The food was authentic Italian & very good. Dinner for 2 with apps, a bottle of wine, entrees & dessert was $258 pre tip. So not expensive but not killer either. Highly recommended.View more

Excellent experience at La Marinara in Montreal! The homemade pasta was fresh, perfectly cooked, & full of flavor. The tiramisu was light, creamy, & the perfect sweet ending to a great meal.View more

We are tourists & were in the area & this restaurant was rated pretty high. I really don't understand it. The soup was very salty. The bolognese lacked flavour & depth. The fettuccine was over priced. $15 for a glass of wine when the bottle cost $10 was atrocious. Really disappointed in this meal considering the prices & trying to steer anyone that stumbled upon this restaurant to choose an authentic Italian resto instead.View more
