Mon restaurant préféré, c'est bon a s'en léchée les doigts le service est extraordinaire les pâtes al dente savoureuse ou la pizza tout est excellent je recommande a tout le monde. J'ai eu l'occasion d'aller a rome & a d'autre endroit de l'Italie & honnêtement de ce côté ci de l'atlantique c'est ce qui s'en rapproche le plus.
Toute la nourriture était vraiment bonne dans ce que jai commander. Pour mon conjoint son contre filet avait tellement de tirail que c'était vraiment dur de le manger. Si non tout le reste du repas était vraiment délicieux. Pour l'ambiance la musique était trop forte pour moi mais le choix était bon. Je vous recommande se petit trésor caché 🤗

I visited this Italian restaurant & was pleasantly surprised. I tried the pasta & the lasagna, & both were delicious well seasoned, made with fresh ingredients, & full of that homemade flavor you expect from authentic Italian cuisine. The service was friendly & attentive without being intrusive, & the place itself has a warm, cozy atmosphere. Overall, it was a very enjoyable experience that I would definitely recommend.
Nous avons vécu une expérience exceptionnelle au Restaurant Regina ! La nourriture était délicieuse, surtout la véritable pizza italienne - un vrai régal. Le personnel était accueillant, chaleureux & très professionnel. Tout était parfait, du début à la fin. Nous recommandons vivement ce restaurant à tous les amateurs de cuisine italienne authentique. 🇮🇹🍕

La nourriture est juste exceptionnel & le personnel sont plus que gentil. L'ambiance du restaurant est très plaisante. Je recommande d'aller essayer, vous aller tomber en amour.
This restaurant was awesome! I came in for the first time for my birthday. They had spent quality time on this food & to be honest, this restaurant has no exceptions in my opinion. I recommend going to this Italian restaurant.
This is my go-to place whenever I want to have guests over, casual meetings, or just a great meal in the neighborhood. The food is always consistently excellent. You can really see & taste the quality of the ingredients they use. While service standards seem to be declining in many places around Quebec, here the service remains attentive, friendly, & professional. Prices are very reasonable for the quality you get. It's reassuring to have a restaurant that keeps its standards high when so many others have started to slip. Highly recommend!
This family-owned pizzeria delivers an authentic Italian dining experience with fresh, high-quality ingredients.
From perfectly crisp wood-fired pizzas to rich homemade pastas, every bite reflects their dedication to traditional cuisine. The young, friendly staff adds to a lively yet welcoming atmosphere, making guests feel right at home.
The only drawback is the wine list-while it offers a decent selection, the pricing is excessive, often 4 to 5 times the SAQ equivalent.
Despite this, the professionalism of the staff & the exceptional food make this a standout spot for Italian dining on the Southshore of Montreal.
Highly recommended, just be mindful of the wine markup.
Cuisine délicieuse, ambiance agréable & service au top ! Un grand merci à notre serveuse, Mégane qui a été souriante, attentionnée & très professionnelle. Une superbe expérience, je recommande vivement !

Randomly stumbled upon this place. It was packed & full of such good energy, family hospitality & authentic Italian food. We loved the wood fired pizzas & the Caesar salad was so fresh, made from scratch. Service was exceptional! Definitely recommend.
Nous avons récemment célébré notre party de Noël chez Regina Pizza, & l'expérience a été absolument renversante. La qualité de la nourriture & le service étaient impeccables, dignes des plus grands restaurants. L'accueil chaleureux & l'atmosphère festive ont rendu notre soirée mémorable. Une fois aux deux semaines, nous allons toujours chercher notre pizza qui, je le souligne, sont été phénoménales. Mais pour notre party de Noël, l'équipe de Regina Pizza a réussi à nous éblouir encore plus & nous a couvert de plats classiques italiens à se rouler par terre, sincèrement ! J'ai peu de mots pour décrire l'expérience hallucinante que nous avons eu. Notre bureau a déjà réservé pour l'an prochain & nous recommandons à tous de vivre cette expérience. Faites-nous confiance, vous ne regretterez votre choix soit pour une sortie en famille, entre collègues, amis ou pour des occasions spéciales.
It was our first time to the restaurant & we were pleasantly surprised...food was out of this world, service was incredible & the whole experience left us agreeing to go back soon. Highly recommend.
