The 7 of us had the best time. Right when we walked through the door, we were treated like royalty. The atmosphere is relaxed & charming. The staff are the most beautiful people. Their attention to detail was incredible! The food was absolutely amazing. I would like to thank the Manager, Billy, for making us feel special; we felt like family.

La Piazza Restaurant never disappoints!
There is certainly a plethora of restaurants to choose from in Montreal but few that measure up to the food ,service & overall experience that La Piazza offers.If I could give this restaurant & its great team 10 Stars -I would !We recently celebrated a 75 th Birthday with a group of family & friends .-Everything was absolutely wonderful The starters - An assortment -Platters of Fried Calamari , Fried Zucchini, Focaccia & Caesar Salad were a wonderful start to our meal .Our guests selected from mains that included - Osso Bucco,Vitello Limone, Linguine Pescatore ,Pappardelle Al Ragu D'Agnello.Each portion ( generous) was beautifully presented & delicious
.Every one thoroughly enjoyed their meal
( including our Italian guests AKA - Italian food connoisseurs ! ) .We had selected an Italian White & Red from a comprehensive list of wines offered at various price points.
Our event was on a Saturday night - a popular night with other groups of families ,friends & couples , the atmosphere was lively but without it being overly noisy or loud.
The welcoming ambiance coupled with the stylishly appointed dining room rendered the evening even more enjoyable .
Thank You & Kudos to Billy ( Manager) & the entire team who went over & above to make our evening a memorable one .Billy was of wonderful assistance in putting together a menu & fine tuning the details for the evening .His personable & prompt responses to our emails & queries was very much appreciated .Billy's attentiveness
was a key reason why we chose La Piazza to host the special evening .
A very special mention to our server Danny -
He is'the'epitome of service - professional , caring & attentive - never missing a beat .
From the moment we walked in to the time that we left - we were welcomed & treated
like we were the only guests in the room .
There are many reasons why we chose to treat ourselves to dining out -a casual evening or a more elaborate occasion -
It is the overall'experience'- that we retain & remember the most .
La Piazza Restaurant & its amazing team
always succeed in turning a meal into a wonderful & delicious experience - every single time .
Ps Street & nearby lot parking available .

It has been my pleasure to eat at La Piazza for years now. Fine dining at its very best. The restaurant has a modern & distinguished look, & has multiple rooms which accomodate wedding parties, anniversaries, & special occasions of all kinds. Music is low & ambiant, you can definitely hear the waiters speak to you as well as talk amongst yourselves.
The service is extraordinary, every waiter is experienced & seasoned, & knows how to adapt to your needs & tastes. Getting your food is not very long & you are allowed to eat at your own pace. & don't worry about an empty glass - that doesn't exist over there.
Food is EXTRAORDINARY. Beautifully presented, carefully prepared, & just amazing tastes. To give an example, I don't like beets, & never order fish from any menu; yesterday I had pan-seared cod in olive sauce with (not sure what it was called) beet-flavored black rice. It was insanely delicious.
These people feel like family, & with every meal is an exquisite white-glove level of service that we normally cannot find anywhere else.
Obviously it's on the pricey side, but you truly get what you pay for.
Don't crowd this place - it mustn't blow up or lose its quaintness. Beautifuly restaurant!

I recently hosted a private event at La Piazza, & I couldn't be more pleased with the experience. From the moment we arrived, the staff was incredibly attentive & accommodating, ensuring every detail was perfect. The ambiance was warm & inviting, creating the ideal setting for our gathering. The food was exceptional-beautifully presented & absolutely delicious. The service throughout the event was seamless, with staff members always on hand to assist while remaining unobtrusive. I highly recommend La Piazza for any special occasion & will definitely be returning in the future!

My wife & I have been coming here every year on our wedding anniversary, & we have never been disappointed. The ambiance is nice,the restaurant is small but beautiful. The service was great, even though they did get busy. The manager was very hands on to make sure everything went smoothly for all the patrons. We had two appetizers & we ordered Lamb chops, & the osso bucco from the table d'hote. Calamari were perfect, so were the scallops.every dish was outstanding.
We had a great time & the experience was great, once again.
It's great to see a restaurant keep offering great food & great service consistently, even after being around for so long.
