For generations our family recipes have been kept in the family. Every Sunday was pasta day at Nonna's house. Our Mama, her sisters and Nonna would make homemade pasta, sauces and polpettes (which are meatballs in case your Italian is a little rusty). It was always considered a cheerful occasion.
Today, at Piatti Pronti we share those great times and secret recipes with you. The only change is you don't have to wait until Sunday like we did. We would be honored if you would join us at our table because our table is your table.
Piatti Pronti delivers a warm, lively dining scene where live music and celebratory energy turn ordinary dinners into memorable nights. The experience is shaped by attentive service from the owner and friendly staff, enhancing a classic neighborhood Italian vibe. Dishes such as calamari, burrata, meatballs, salmon tartare, and simple yet satisfying pastas with aglio e olio and pomodoro, along with the Mediterranea pizza, showcase well crafted sauces and fresh ingredients. The setting is described as welcoming and not a trendy downtown spot, with a great option in Laval for good food, live music and a fun atmosphere, including private rooms for events. Guests repeatedly praise the value, the consistency of the flavors, and the sense that a night out here feels special, with espresso martinis and thoughtful recommendations adding to celebrations like birthdays and Mother's Day.
Went on a Friday night & the atmosphere was lively from the moment we walked in. There was live music, a birthday celebration dancing, & the owner personally serving tables, which made it feel welcoming & festive.
We shared calamari, meatballs, burrata & salmon tartare, then ordered aglio e olio, pomodoro & a Mediterranea pizza. The simple pasta sauces were well prepared & satisfying.
This is not a trendy downtown Italian spot. It feels like a classic neighborhood restaurant where dinner can easily turn into a celebration. Great option in Laval if you're looking for live music & a fun atmosphere.
I went to Piatti Pronti for a Friday night Galentine's dinner with my friends Farzy, Sarah, Steph & it ended up being way more fun than we expected.
From the moment we walked in, the energy felt lively… almost like stepping into an Italian family reunion. There's a signed Céline Dion photo at the entrance, which already tells you this is not going to be a quiet, minimalist dinner spot. It has big personality & it embraces it.
We were served by Rocco, the owner, which made the experience feel personal & welcoming from the start. Throughout the night, a live performer named Giorgio sang everything from Lady Gaga to classic oldies. He was genuinely sweet & knew how to read the room. At one point, a large birthday table was pulled up to dance multiple times, & the whole restaurant felt like it was part of the celebration. It turned dinner into an experience.
For entrées, we shared the calamari, meatballs, burrata & salmon tartare. Everything was great for sharing. The burrata was fresh & creamy, the meatballs were comforting & saucy, & the calamari was a solid way to start the night.
For mains, we ordered the aglio e olio & pomodoro pastas, along with the Mediterranea pizza. I always think simple sauces say a lot about a kitchen, & both pastas were well prepared & satisfying. Steph & I shared a bottle of red wine & also tasted a few cocktails, which made it feel like a full Friday night out rather than just a quick dinner.
This is not a trendy downtown Italian restaurant. It feels like a classic neighborhood spot where dinner can easily turn into a celebration. If you're looking for good food, live music & a fun, energetic atmosphere in Laval, this is a great option.

I took my mom to Piatti Pronti for Mother's Day, & it was hands-down one of the best dining experiences we've had in a long time. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm, inviting, & full of charm - the perfect mix of elegance & comfort.
The staff made us feel genuinely welcome & went out of their way to make the day special for my mom. Our server was incredibly kind, attentive without being intrusive, & had great recommendations that turned out to be spot on.
Now the food… wow. Every dish was bursting with flavor - from the homemade pasta that melted in our mouths to the perfectly balanced sauces & fresh, vibrant ingredients. My mom had the shrimp/pasta olio. I had the lamb, & it was cooked to absolute perfection - fresh, light, & so satisfying.
We finished the meal with a classic tiramisu that tasted like it came straight out of a Roman café.
Truly, Piatti Pronti made this Mother's Day one to remember. We left full, happy, & already planning our next visit. Highly, highly recommend!
Too expensive for what you get. The food is good but not exceptional. I ordered the veal parmigiana but received chicken instead... was told veal & chicken was the same price. So I paid 40$ for chicken with a bit of pasta on the side. Disappointing. I was offered dessert as comp but even then the dessert was also very ordinary.
On our first visit almost eight years ago, we were impressed by the calm ambience & reasonable prices. Yesterday, we were happy to discover that you've preserved these winning ingredients. You clearly take your profession seriously with so many attributes such as a relaxing decor & a spotlessly clean establishment. The pasta was served piping hot but the veal liver was more sinewy than I expected. We look forward to returning soon.

Portions on the small side & very overpriced. I was with a large group & most had the same opinion. They need to refine their sauces as they are not great & the pastas they use are definitely frozen prior to cooking. At these prices, you would expect freshly made or freshly delivered to them. The decor is awful.
Food was meh. Shockingly overpriced for dishes that didn't cost much to make & that I could have easily made better. Every dish we tried from the Caesar that was less tasty then the one I buy in the bagged kit at Loblaws. The veal parmigiana to the lemon pasta just tastes like it was a bunch of cheap ingredients tossed together without any thought out towards the spices. The restaurant atmosphere & art was bland. I will, however, give the serving staff 5 stars. They were friendly, smiling & engaging. Sorry I didn't think to take any pics because I wasn't inspired to finish my meal. Perhaps I should have. Kudos to the friendly servers though!
We had the most delicious Italian meals tonight at Piatti Pronti in Laval, Quebec! The sauces were fresh & savory, they offered Gluten free pasta, & the serving sizes were more than adequate! The Hostess, Sara, was friendly & treated us like we were friends! Our waitress Samantha was friendly, fast & helpful with options for our meals! Bravo Piatti Pronti!
We were a party of 6 & each of our meals was perfection. The melanzane in carrozza was exquisite. All our pasta dishes were delicious. The veal parmigiana & limone one were both excellent. The house wine is a good deal.
Hostess was wonderful & the decor was recently updated. Very chic ! Food was fresh & delicious. Menu has been updated & you can now choose from a variety of pasta & sauces & build your own pasta dish. I ate the salmon & it was cooked to perfection ! Nice choice of wines as well. I have been eating at this restaurant for years & will certainly be back. Merci & grazie :)🍷🍝
The service was very good, but the food was mediocre at best for the (high) price.
The pasta primavera included small vegetables, very few, & the portion was small. It was very salty. The worst primavera dish I've ever had. I would never write such a negative review, but you need to know for your next patrons.

Arrived 6:30 Thursday, August 10 to notice that the restaurant did not have many diners. Even so, service was slower than expected. My minestrone soup was hot & good, but seemed more like vegetable soup only, no little pasta. As for my wife's eggplant parmagian, & my cannelloni, no oomph, appeared to have gone from freezer to microwave, sauces seemed identical & out of a jar. Her spaghetti carbonara was soaked in olive oil without much flavor. At the beginning the buns were not warm as expected, but the butter was correctly spreadable. At the end, the espresso was very good.
