About

Primo & Secondo delivers a focused exploration of Italian culinary traditions paired with a specialized emphasis on expertly prepared raw meat preparations. The menu centers on classic pasta techniques that prioritize ingredient integrity while balancing the delicate complexity of hand-chopped tartare offerings. Each dish reflects a commitment to structural simplicity and authentic flavor profiles. Patrons encounter an environment defined by a minimalist aesthetic that draws attention directly to the interplay of texture and freshness within the plates. The seasoning approach relies on high-quality oils and acidity to lift the richness of the premium proteins used in every tartare assembly. This establishment maintains a rigid standard for raw preparation that underscores a dedication to precision and technical proficiency in modern Mediterranean culinary execution.

Review Summary

Primo & Secondo consistently delivers authentic Italian cuisine with warm, attentive service and a refined atmosphere. Guests praise generous bread and olive oil, high quality ingredients, and standout dishes like burrata salad, ravioli, risotto, and osso buco. Cocktails and wine are appreciated, and tiramisu is often described as exceptional, while the overall dining experience is described as among the best Italian restaurants in Montreal. A rare note mentions an unexpected dessert charge, but most reviews emphasize reliability, value for the quality, and plans to return.

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.

Excellent repas. Le service était impeccable. Le vin succulent. Le pain & l'huile d'olive vierges parfaits. La salade de fenouil en endives un vrai délice ! Le risotto aux champignons honnêtement le meilleur que j'ai mangé de ma vie. Le dessert aux pistaches était également très gourmand. Chapeau au chef & à toute l'équipe !

WoW!
Nous avons celebré un anniversaire ce soir. Quel magnifique soirée! Excellent service, de l'entrée au dessert tout était succulent. Nous avons adoré les artichauts frits, ravioli au truffe, spritz au limoncello, ….
Goût rafiné, délicat & sublime!
Une magnifique première expérience à ce restaurant, nous y retournerons assurément.
