Had a fantastic dinner at Primo & Secondo in Little Italy during Grand Prix weekend with out of town visitors & it was a huge hit.

Amazing authentic Italian food & outstanding service from Michael from start to finish. Everyone loved their meals. We started with the most generous amount of delicious bread & Olive oil. We shared the burrata salad with Beets, cherry tomatoes, mini peppers, marinated peaches, basil pesto, honey Dijon dressing, & extra virgin olive oil, orecchiette pasta with rapini & braised lamb, while others had the caprese & prosciutto plate , special eggplant appetizer, vongole pasta & osso bucco. Everything was delicious & full of flavour.

The cocktails were great to start & the red Chianti paired perfectly with dinner. The tiramisu was honestly one of the best we've had.

There is a reason Primo & Secondo is considered one of the top Italian restaurants in Montreal. Warm atmosphere, excellent service & consistently amazing food. Will definitely be back 🍝🍷🇮🇹

A very relaxing atmosphere & the service provided for all us, was excellent. Food was good but nothing out of the ordinary. I was really upset that they charged us $6+ each, party of 5, for the dessert that we brought & were served. Note, that they never disclosed that there would be a charge, so be vigilant.
Sad to say, it was our first & last time.

Il est permis d'hésiter en passant la porte car le décor impersonnel pourrait évoquer les trattoria factices où rien n'est mangeable. C'est le contraire ici, avec beaucoup de soin apporté à la confection de plats bien balisés. On se régale, risotto aux cèpes idéal ou côte de veau généreuse. Tout est très bon & le vin fait partie de la fête. Miam

From start to finish, this restaurant delivered true, authentic Italian perfection. We tried all the appetizers (yes, all of them 😅) & not a single one disappointed-each dish was bursting with flavor & clearly made with care & high-quality ingredients.

The ravioli deserves a special mention: it literally melted in your mouth. Perfectly cooked, rich, & comforting in the way only real Italian food can be.

On top of the amazing food, the service was flawless-attentive, warm, & never overbearing. Huge shout-out to Manon for setting everything up!

If you're looking for an authentic Italian meal with exceptional service, this place is a must. We'll definitely be back 🍝🍷👏
