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.
Came here for lunch on our last day in mtl before our journey home to Toronto. The food is amazing & our waiter was lovely. We ordered the lasagna & penne bolognese gratin, we will definitely be back next time we're in town!

Nous sommes passés dîner chez Osteria Schiavio avec les enfants & avons partagé plusieurs plats. La lasagne, les tuffoli & le sandwich spécial de la Nonna. Tout était délicieux, avec un gros coup de coeur pour les tuffoli, vraiment exceptionnels. Le restaurant est aussi très beau, chaleureux & invitant. Une adresse qu'on a clairement envie de revisite
Incredible italian atmosphere & experience. Christian was our server & he made sure our experience was nothing less than phenomenal. Homemade lasagna & tirmasu is a must have!!
Bravo a toute l'équipe de ce restaurant Italien, tout était parfait, la nourriture, le service de Christian, l'atmosphère tres cosy & réconfortante!
On reviendras avant le prochaine game au centre bell a 5min a pied
