First time having supper there & it was amazing. Service was excellent Conor & staff were second to none, knowledge staff great choices & very very attentive. Food was great. Everything we had rocked & are definitely going back again soon.
Warm, inviting atmosphere, & the staff were super friendly & attentive. The food was wonderful, all six of us were super happy with our meals. One person noticed my son's birthday card on the table & asked what it was for, then put a candle & sparkler in his tartufo to celebrate his birthday. Would 100% recommend!

Have visited natalinos 4 times & they never disappoint. They give you bruschetta as a complimentary app & some bread. I usually stick to the tortellini but I tried their shrimp Alfredo & omg delicious! So creamy & great flavour. They also make really tasty drinks, my favourite was the spicy margarita. We ended one of dinners with the Affogato & what an amazing way to end our meal. The staff are always very polite & attentive. Will be recommending this place to my friends.
We went for the first time tonight, even though we live in Lachine & WOW were we impressed. Connor gave incredible service, as did all of his colleagues, everyone was so attentive, catering to our every need. My husbands veal & my pasta were perfection, the calamari was amazing & the dessert was amazing, I mean the entire experience was a dream & we can't wait to go back again.
Couldn't have asked for a more perfect evening. Great food, the team is very friendly & attentive. Ended up spending hours out on the terrasse enjoying the beautiful evening in a very'European' manner.
Bravo Restaurante Natalino! 5 stars!
We celebrated a birthday here & the experience was absolutely beyond expectations! From the moment we arrived, Mathew & the team went above & beyond to make everything special. The service was warm, attentive, & genuinely welcoming. & the food-wow! Every dish was beautifully presented & bursting with authentic Italian flavor. You can tell there's real passion in the kitchen. This place is a gem, & I highly recommend it to anyone looking for amazing food & outstanding service. Thank you again to Mathew & the team for making it a night to remember & hospitality as if you were inviting us to your home. We highly recommend Natalino for special occasions!
We stumbled on Natalino because of a delayed flight. We were very impressed by the food as well as the service. We shared an appetizer of Mozzarella Di Buffala & we both had pasta (Linguine Gigi & pasta rapini with sausage). Everything was very tasty & at the right temperature. Even if it was Friday evening around 6:30pm, service was excellent. All the staff was very attentive. I recommend to anyone in the Dorval area.
This was our first time at Natalino's, & I couldn't have asked for a better experience. The intimate, convivial atmosphere was perfect for a small, intimate birthday supper for two couples. The staff was attentive without hovering & we didn't feel abandoned or pestered; they were just right. The food was delicious, with good portion sizes. The rosé & carbonara sauces were both excellent, & our chocolate mousse was sensational. Great espresso too. The prices are reasonable considering the quality of the experience. I think of myself as someone with high standards for both French & Italian dining, & I'd rate this as one of the best Italian restaurants on the West Island. I'll definitely be going back again soon.
