Toujours cette belle énergie, une cuisine soignée & une ambiance comme on les aime.
Merci à Daniel pour l'accueil & le service attentionné, & merci au chef pour cette autre belle expérience. Toujours un plaisir de revenir.
Une expérience agréable & délicieuse, la qualité de la nourriture à la hauteur du chef & le service impeccable , trois services qualité prix excellent.
My wife & I chose to celebrate Valentine's Day here after reading the reviews, & the experience exceeded every expectation. From the moment we arrived, the evening felt effortlessly elegant & unforgettable.
We began with the tuna & the avocado burrata salad - both exquisitely prepared & bursting with flavor. The short rib-stuffed ravioli that followed was, without exaggeration, the finest pasta I have ever tasted (forgive me, nonna). For our mains, we enjoyed the surf & turf with filet mignon & lobster tail alongside the rack of lamb. Each dish was cooked to absolute perfection & melted in our mouths.
For anyone seeking truly authentic Italian cuisine elevated to a refined dining experience, this is the destination. Without question, one of the finest meals we've had in Montreal - & we dine out often. The service was impeccable, the bartender crafted flawless cocktails, & the chef's talent is nothing short of extraordinary. Every detail contributed to an evening that felt luxurious, intimate, & perfectly curated.
An exceptional restaurant that turned our Valentine's celebration into a night we will never forget.

My visit to Montreal was only five days long, so I had to be selective about which restaurants made the cut from the city's endless list of amazing options. But when I came across L'osso on TikTok, I knew I had to include it-& I'm so glad I did.
It was amazing. My friend (who is a chef & culinary school graduate) & I walked in curious, & walked out beyond happy. You know how they say'the way to a man's heart is through his stomach?' Well, L'Osso found its way into two girls' hearts that night-& we left very, very, very happy.
We started with warm bread & olive oil, along with a complimentary bruschetta. The bread was soft, fresh, & warm enough to make me want 50 more, & the bruschetta was perfectly savory & fresh-an exciting start.
We ordered two dishes:
1. Gnocchi in tomato sauce - It literally melted in my mouth. Rich, savory, & comforting-it touched my soul.
2. Mushroom ravioli - My personal favorite. I still dream about it. The dish had the perfect umami flavor, & the sauce-though not creamy in ingredients-had a rich, velvety texture that made it feel incredibly indulgent. The ravioli was soft & filling, & the cheese (Parmesan, I think) tied everything together beautifully. We dipped our still-warm bread into the sauce-it was marvellous.
We ended with a chocolate lava cake, & it was the perfect dessert to close such a satisfying experience.
The restaurant was fairly quiet that night-it was snowing & freezing outside (not that it stopped me, haha)-but according to our kind & attentive server, it's usually more lively. The interior was elegant & cozy, with a vibe that felt intimate & romantic.
Overall, it was a wonderful dining experience-from the food to the ambiance to the service. If I lived in Montreal, I'd find myself returning just for that mushroom ravioli every few weeks. Highly recommend!
This new restaurant is a GEM! The food is amazing, the presentation & the taste are high-end as only a world-class chef can prepare! The decor is trendy but simple, open-style kitchen & nice bar. The service is as close to impeccable as you can get. I've already been there twice, I had Osso Bucco like I've never had before, fall off the bone & melts in your mouth, Linguini frutti di mare, Lobster tail on top with shrimp & scallops, OMG! Other plates at my table, Rack of Lamb, Veal Chop, Giant shrimps stuffed with Alaskan king crab, & all this not to mention the delicious appetizers. Everyone was impressed! A MUST try Mediterranean/Steakhouse hotspot. Will become the Best in Little Italy for sure! Bellissimo!
The food , staff & service were excellent. My husband & I each started with a salad beet & pear..very fresh & flavorful . We ordered the Chefs specialties ( Veal & Lamb dishes.. delicious! ) . We ended our meal with the cream brûlée & a chocolate dessert. Should we ever visit Montreal again, we will definitely dine at L'OSSO.. thank you Sam for the excellent service !
Amazing experience! Huge thanks to Samuel & the chefs! The service was so attentive. They accommodate food allergies & took good care of us. Everything was fresh. The favor was on point & not too heavy. Lobster was huge & fresh. Definitely would love to go back again soon 💖
What a beautiful surprise! They were able to find us a table Grand Prix weekend. Service was impeccable. Entire staff was attentive. Food was delicious. The chef & owner even took the time to come & greet every table. Will definitely go back.
Delizioso ! Chef Renato & Team have upped the game with this Little Italy Gem of fine food & great selection with such consistently high quality & freshness also from the neighbouring Jean-Talon Market. Kudos :-)
