Patrons describe Osteria Schiavio as a warm, authentic Italian spot in downtown Montreal with homemade pasta and fresh ingredients across a menu that pairs lasagna, gnocchi, and tuffoli with pizzas and desserts like tiramisu and pistachio cannoli. The atmosphere is commonly praised as cozy and inviting, with nice Italian charm, good music, and an indoor terrace that adds to the experience. Service is repeatedly highlighted as attentive and friendly, with staff known for helpful recommendations and thoughtful touches. Prices are generally considered reasonable for the location, and many say they would return to try more dishes or for a date or family outing. A few caveats include occasional slower service on busy game nights and occasional menu misses such as a margarita pizza that lacks basil or portions that feel small for the price, but the overall impression is of high quality Italian cooking and a welcoming, reliable spot.
Quelle belle expérience pour ma soeur & moi ce midi. Ambiance italienne très réussie. Service impeccable. Nous avons mangé la salade César avec poulet grillé. Un délice! Laitue croquante, vinaigrette délicieuse & généreux sur le bacon & le parmesan. Cannoli délicieux avec café! À refaire très prochainement! Merci à Christian qui s'est très bien occupé de nous. Je recommande!
Vraiment très cool , nous avons souper au bar & notre serveur était vraiment sympa , très attentionné & se faisait discret mais toujours présent pour refil d'eau & s'assurer que tout était à notre goût . Il est très professionnel & les plats recommandés étaient savoureux !
Visiting from Seattle, we stumbled upon Schiavio & were pleasantly surprised. We split the Caprese sandwich, calamari, & a couple of Blonde beers - everything was fresh, flavorful, & perfect for sharing. Great vibe, friendly service, & a relaxing spot to recharge while exploring the city. Highly recommend!
This restaurant was in the lobby of a building. Although it wasn't super fancy or elegantly decorated, it had charm & was comfortable.
The food was quite delicious. We had the fried calamari appetizer which was good, & a Marguerite pizza as an appetizer which was absolutely delicious! We also got the grilled striped bass, the tuffoli, & the gnocchi, all of which were quite delicious!
I also want to give a thumbs up to Christian, our server. He was the host who seated us, the server who took our order & brought the food, & he was making the drinks behind the bar! He did everything for every table, & service did not suffer. Truly admire & appreciate this man's work ethic, professionalism, & friendly & attentive service!
Nous avons visité Schiavio avec mon père & avons passé un moment merveilleux. Nous avons essayé des Gnocchi e Pepe & des spaghettis, ils étaient fantastiques ! Hautement recommandé. Une belle vue sur la Cathédrale Marie Reina Du Monde. Ambiance parfaite, bonne musique, nourriture merveilleuse & service de première classe.

I work in the atrium building, & Schiavio just became a mandatory stop ! For coffee, lunch, or 5à7, this place juste became the #1 option ! Great service, food & vibes overall ! Definitely recommend !
New Montréal restaurant in lobby of high rise. Outstanding casual dinner. Caprese salad, eggplant, pastas, dessert, cocktails, & service all excellent. Found walking by !!!
Highly recommend.
I had a wonderful experience! This is definitely a spot I recommend for a fun time with friends or even a date. It's the perfect place to visit before a show or a game, & it's conveniently located. They have a good 5@7.
The service was impeccable, the vibe & ambiance was truly amazing. Special shoutout to Christian for making the experience even better!
Just passed by & asked for a quick takeout as I was heading to catch my bus; I was pleasantly impressed by the quality of the service.
I ordered the chicken sandwich & they made it in 10 minutes. The sandwich was typical Italian; one of the best I had in my life. A great balance of various taste, such as the slightly fried chicken (parmigiana), cheese, pesto, aragula, fresh herbs & grated Parmesan on top - so delicious.
I find their menu typical Italian, just enough variety. I paid 17$ for the sandwich + tax + tip.
Overall strongly recommend for authentic Italian cuisine & fresh ingredients.
I didn't eat onsite but I would assume the service is good since the waiter at the bar was caring to my need & order. He even served me a glass of water while I was waiting for my take out.
