It is our 25th anniversary and our staff welcomes you to a unique dining experience, creating a festive but subtle ambience. During your meal you will catch a glimpse of chef Giovanni who will gladly exchange a few words and make sure that everything is to your taste. It is clearly our hospitality which encourages the development of this fine cuisine that we are proud to call Natalino.
With our lifetime culinary experience, Natalino has earned an endless reputation consisting of great food, surroundings and staff. We are always striving to conquer every goal we encounter, treating our customers like family.
Natalino comes across in reviews as a consistently loved Italian spot with excellent food, attentive service, and a warm, European-inspired ambiance. Diners praise a broad menu featuring pasta favorites, seafood linguini, shrimp Alfredo, veal, ravioli, calamari, and reliable desserts like tiramisu and affogato, as well as solid bruschetta and a good wine list; drinks such as a spicy margarita and strawberry daiquiri get mentions too. The staff are described as polite, friendly, and accommodating, with many noting that service is quick and professional, though a few visits report slower pacing on busier evenings or special events. The terrace and waterfront location add to a charming atmosphere, and most guests consider pricing reasonable for the quality, with several describing returns and recommending to friends. A few reviewers mention that the place can be noisy at times, and one or two dishes were noted as merely good rather than exceptional, but the overall tone remains highly positive with multiple guests calling Natalino a go-to for meals, family outings, or special occasions.
Excellent service, gracious & humorous waiter, warm ambiance & lovely Italian music. The caesar salad was very good, the gluten free pizza was just okay. Very good value.
First time at this restaurant we were 2 It was great! Nice Italian decor & very welcoming. Server was very professional & polite. Food was great! They offer 4 tasty bruchettas & some bread as appetizers which is not something you will get everywhere! (i took the marsala & a dessert) + they have a great wine selection & the house wine is very good!

Have been going to Natalinos for over 30 years & it never lets us down. The food is plenty delicious & the potions are adequate. Natal the owner & his son are always by the tables to check in on their guests. Their wait staff is professional & knowledgeable about the food. It is good homemade tasting Italian at its best!
Great local eatery with authentic Italian food, great service & wonderful ambiance. If you're driving by the waterfront & are in the mood for authentic Italian food you need to stop & try Natalino's... 10/10 would recommend
I was at the restaurant on a Sunday from 11:30 until 3:30 for a private party, & the main floor was a comfortable size for about 75 people.
There was a set menu where you chose your main course. The food was adequate to good depending on what you ordered. The veal with mushrooms was delicious.
The service was beyond excellent.
It was a perfect venue for a very enjoyable afternoon.
Original review June 2021:
We started off on the beautiful covered terasse, but it started raining very hard so we moved to a table inside. So, very nice & comfortable either inside or out.
The food was not the best Italian we have had, but it was good, & nicely presented.
The service was phenomenal. Courteous & ever present without being intrusive.
We all agreed that we had an enjoyable evening.

Super pretty restaurant with delicious fresh food! The vibes of restaurant are very comforting & the service was fast & very nice. The building was made in the 1880s but has been updated to have the right mix of modern & historical. Apparently it's been open under the same person for 40 years! The veal was delicious & they brought out bruschetta as an appetizer for free which was very tasty. The drinks were tasty as well, the strawberry daiquiri & sangria were just the right level of sweet! If you're around this area & are looking for an authentic Italian experience then I would definitely recommend here!
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!
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.

Very nice & cozy place to have a fresh & tasty Italian meal with your family or your loved one. The waiter was friendly & helpful. The cook is a chef in my opinion, the meals were delicious without the need to be too salty. A no-brainer Italian restaurant in Dorval area. Don’t miss it!
