While vacationing in Sao Miguel, I found myself out late drinking with the locals & their mayor, Marco. He mentioned that he grew up in Montreal & suggested I visit his favourite restaurant, Primi Piatti. Granted, it had been many years since he returned to Montreal, as he now preferred to raise his goats & run for city council in Sao Miguel during his twilight years. He also had far too much tequila therefore I did not know what to expect.
2 weeks later, I book a table at Primi Piatti, & I was certainly not disappointed. I was immediately welcomed by owner Justin who was incredible from beginning to end. I was especially impressed with the quality of service as the restaurant was packed & there was a table of single Québécois ladies who kept flirting with him all night trying to break his focus.
Anyways, 5 stars across the board! If this review convinces you to go to Primi Piatti, tell them Joao sent you!!! Bon appetit
Hier, j'ai eu la chance de manger dans ce restaurant, & honnêtement, WOW ! Tout était parfait du début à la fin. Le service était impeccable : une personne dédiée uniquement au remplissage d'eau, un serveur ultra attentionné & présent sans être envahissant. Le tout avec une rapidité impressionnante !
& que dire de la nourriture.. C'était tout simplement délicieux, plein de saveurs, chaque bouchée était un pur bonheur. Honnêtement, c'est le meilleur restaurant où j'ai mangé de ma vie. Je recommande à 100 % !

Cuisine raffinée & délicieuse. Belle ambiance. Très bon service.
J'y au dégusté une sole de Douvres, belle meunière, arrosée d'un Pessac-Léogan. Magnifique soirée.
Absolute worst pizza I've ever had. They should be ashamed for serving metallic tin tasting dollar store tomatoes on a pizza for $27. Restaurant is too loud. Service is ok. The veal chop is excellent though. Only redeeming item on the menu. Everything else is mid at best
Primi Piatti est sans contredit une adresse incontournable à Saint-Lambert pour les amateurs de cuisine italienne. Que ce soit une pizza parfaitement croustillante, des pâtes savoureuses ou même un filet mignon ou des côtes de veau d'une tendreté exceptionnelle, chaque plat est un pur délice.
La fraîcheur des ingrédients est incomparable, & cela se ressent dans chaque bouchée. La sélection privée de vins vient parfaire l'expérience, offrant des accords mets-vins impeccables. L'ambiance chaleureuse & le service attentionné rendent chaque visite mémorable.
Un restaurant qui allie raffinement & authenticité, parfait pour une sortie gourmande inoubliable. Un vrai coup de coeur!
Nous avons célébré le 65 ieme anniversaire de ma belle-mere dans la salle privé.
Le service était impeccable, le repas incroyable !! Beaucoup de petite attention de la part de lequipe durant la soiree.
Merci pour la cette belle soirée !!!
Il est très malheureux que le service soit aussi tardif. De plus, nous avons été très spécifique concernant l'intolérance au gluten de ma collègue. Nous avons été rassurées que les aliments ne contenaient pas de gluten. Ma collègue est encore très malade d avoir consommé du gluten… Il y a un manque absolu au sein de L'administration concernant les allergènes aux aliments

Tout est toujours frais & délicieux dans ce restaurant ! Nous avions l'habitude d'y aller pour le souper, mais cette fois, nous avons opté pour le dîner. L'ambiance était chaleureuse & le personnel, comme toujours, très attentionné . Tous les plats étaient succulents, & pour le dessert, le pain doré est un incontournable. Le meilleur restaurant de la Rive-Sud. Merci à Enriqué ! Toujours un bon service avec toi ! On t'adore !
I have been coming to this restaurant for a decade & it never disappoints. They "recently" did a revamp with renovations & it looks even more elegant & refined. Service is attentive, wine list is extensive, food is excellent. You know you will have a good meal here. It's on the expensive side but definitely one of the best Italian restaurants in the greater Montreal area.
