Overall, reviews describe Osteria Schiavio as a welcoming spot with delicious Italian cooking and attentive service that many find friendly and professional. The menu shines with fresh pastas, lasagna, gnocchi, and pizza, and the atmosphere feels relaxed yet stylish, with a downtown vibe and occasionally an indoor terrace. While several visits praise consistency and value, a few notes mention slower or inconsistent service when busy and some dishes arriving cold, suggesting these were rare exceptions. Many diners highlight the suitability for a date night, lunch, or after work drinks, with the sense that the food is homemade and flavorful, making Osteria Schiavio a reliable go-to for Italian cuisine in the area. Overall it comes across as a charming hidden gem with great atmosphere, solid food, and attentive service that invites a return visit.
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
The food is good, the ambience is relax & the decor gives a nostalgic vibe that I really like. Also appreciate Alexandrine services. Super easy to get there by public transport without even going outside. Definitely going to come back.
Had lunch here recently with my son. The food was excellent - I had a sandwich with a glass of wine, & he loved his pizza. Great service, friendly & fast. All in for under $80. Would definitely come back
Maybe an off night for this restaurant but it was a miserable experience & we weren't the only patrons struggling. Being understaffed was a problem. Tables weren't being cleared & neither was the bar. One of our appetizers was served still frozen & our main course didn't arrive for an hour & 40 minutes. We chose this spot because of its proximity to the Bell Center & the show we were seeing at 8pm so you'd think they could anticipate a crowd. The waitress, who was pleasant & apologetic, offered to comp us our drinks which was appreciated but we did have to ask to have the frozen appetizer removed from the bill.
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!

Like many others have said, Christian is the absolute best! Very friendly. Food was top notch. Arancini & meatballs were soooo good. I had the tufoli with pomodoro sauce & it was excellent! Vibe was cool & the music was fantastic! Definitely a place to go when in Montreal!
