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 offers a genuine, family-style dining experience in Laval known for its authentic Italian cuisine, fresh ingredients, and consistent quality. Guests appreciate the warm hospitality and the welcoming atmosphere, which ranges from quiet and intimate to lively and festive with live music depending on the evening. The menu features well-prepared pasta dishes, delicious starters, and an excellent selection of wine, all served by an attentive and personable staff. Whether for a casual dinner, a special celebration in the private room, or a fun night out, the restaurant is frequently recognized for its sincere approach to service and its ability to make every visitor feel like part of the family.
Piatti Pronti has become one of our favourite Italian restaurants in Laval, & we return regularly. What makes it so special is that it feels like a genuine, family-style neighbourhood restaurant-not one of those trendy new places trying to create attention through décor, social media, or manufactured buzz. The focus here is exactly where it should be: excellent food, quality ingredients, warm hospitality, & consistency.
Rocco, the owner, is almost always there, personally greeting guests & making everyone feel welcome. His presence gives the restaurant so much character & makes every visit feel personal. You can tell that he truly cares about his customers, his team, & the quality of everything being served. He also knows many of his suppliers personally, which says a lot about the care that goes into selecting the ingredients & wines.
I tend to order pasta with simpler sauces because I believe the simplest dishes are often the best test of a restaurant. When there are only a few ingredients on the plate, there is nowhere for poor quality or technique to hide. Piatti Pronti consistently gets those dishes right-the pasta, sauces, seasoning, & ingredients all come together beautifully. Everything tastes fresh, authentic, & prepared with real attention.
They also have an excellent wine selection, & Rocco is very knowledgeable & always happy to help choose the right bottle to accompany the meal. The staff is friendly, attentive, & welcoming without ever making the experience feel overly formal.
Piatti Pronti is the kind of restaurant that earns loyal customers through genuinely delicious food & sincere hospitality. It is comfortable, lively, unpretentious, & consistently excellent. We always look forward to returning & highly recommend it to anyone looking for authentic Italian food & a true family-restaurant experience in Laval.
First time visit,after reading reviews I said I'll try it,Ivan the waiter took my orders,calamari , escargot,as starters, escargot never came,main plate I took pene arabiata,my girlfriend took a pizza,pene was very spicy,never I had such spicy,the tomato sauce looked like they just heated some canned sauce, the pizza I give it 5 over 10
All in all way too pricey for what you get.
The addition came I checked if they charged me the escargot,it wasn't,so I told the waiter you didn't bring me the escargot,the answer was you didn't order it ,I told him check my order & there it was on the paper he took the order,he goes sorry about that,so you have a reason to come back again, didn't offer a coffee to compensate,the least he could have done.
But there will not be second time.

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.
Un repas italien ce n'est pas que de servir des pâtes. C'est un art. Piatti Pronti est clairement un restaurant qui maîtrise cet art. Les saveurs recherchées qui s'agence à merveille, le savoir faire dans la sauce servie est incomparable même avec les plus grands resto italiens de Montréal.
Le service était digne d'un service à Rome. La politesse, le savoir faire ainsi que le temps entre les visites à notre table étaient savament calculer.
Le décors supporte la cuisine.
Incroyable expérience. Moi qui suis très critique, je suis conquise. Félicitations au chef & au propriétaire. Merci de vous être lancé dans cette aventure.
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!
Um, où commencer? Qualité-prix médiocre. J'ai pris des pâtes [fettucine] avec sauce pesto. Très surprenant ce que j'ai eu pour un plat de pâtes pesto à 25 $ (!). Sauce trop grasse. Aucun goût de pine nuts présent. Basilic tout juste présent en arrière-goût, saveur d'huile d'olive fine absente, pas assez d'ail. Ayoye! -_- Je bats ça à la maison 100 fois! Pour une fraction du prix demandé! J'ai demandé des fettuccine « al dente »; ils étaient trop cuites. Portion correcte & plat chaud. Nous avons dû demander pour du pain, poivre frais & parmesan. Une femme gentille & affable est venu nous apportez cela. Service absolument pas attentionné ou empressé [gars 30 ans barbu]. Ne s'est pas présenté. Jamais venu à la table demander « Est-ce que tout est à votre goût? »; « Tout va bien ici? ». Service médiocre à revoir! S'est également placé au dessus du terminal Interac lors du paiement afin de vérifier le pourboire donné. Inexcusable & grossier. Pour les desserts à la fin, je demande « Est-ce qu'ils sont faits maison? » - Non, ils viennent de Lafrenaie (!!!). « Euh, rien pour moi. » (!!!). Si je veux des desserts de chez Lafrenaie, je vais chez Lafrenaie, pas dans un restaurant italien où je m'attends à avoir des desserts italiens authentiques (!!!). Mes amis qui avaient commandé des Tables d'hôte reçoivent donc : 1- un gâteau limoncello de type « commercial » arrosé de « sirop cheap chocolaté "à l'huile" de type Herschey » (!!!). Phew! Am I hallucinating here?! 2- Un tiramisu « commercial » immangeable - arrosé aussi du même sirop Hershey cheap - le 3/4 est resté dans l'assiette (!!!). Affreux! & pas de gelato?! Dans un restaurant italien?! Wow... [slowly clapping hands] Bravo.... Le meilleur du repas? La Heineken « 0 » & l'eau San Pellegrino (!!!). C'est tout dire. 125 $/2 [avec service médiocre] All & all : 2 étoiles/5 Mai più!
