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.
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.
The first time I ever came to eat at this restaurant was for my daughters baptism this past weekend & everything was amazing! Already, while planning the event, Stephanie was more than helpful & our event was organized so perfectly! The food was amazing, the atmosphere was warming, the staff was always ready to fill wine glasses & assist wherever they could... I would absolutely recommend! Let's not forget about the food! The appetizers were all delicious & the bavette was my ultimate favorite! Sooooo tender! 😋 & on another positive note, my guests were all raving about how good everything was & are already looking forward to coming back!

Really delicious, authentic Italian dishes with a nice selection of wines to choose from. Our hostess was very attentive, knowledgeable & she created a very welcoming & pleasant atmosphere during our dinner. If you are visiting Laval, this is a great restaurant to try.
Every time my wife & I dine here it's always a pleasure. Great food, great service & the atmosphere is not too loud like some other restaurants. So far everything we chose on the menu was delicious. The wine list is respectable & the restaurant also highlights several popular great tasting wines to choose from.
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 :)🍷🍝
