An Italian restaurant like no other in Montreal! Every dish was prepared with utmost attention from the appetizers to the mains to the sides on the plate. Octopus, one the best I have had! Signature Pistachio Pasta is one of a kind! Rabbit absolutely delicious. Can't wait to go back & try the surf & turf & their meats from their Master Griller.

I recently ate at this Italian restaurant & had a great experience. The food was delicious, full of flavor, & clearly made with care. The prices were very reasonable, especially for the quality you get. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for tasty Italian food at a good value.
My wife & I had an awesome third visit to Pulcinella restaurant, & we loved bringing two friends along! The place looks cool & modern, with a fun vibe.
Our server, Daniel, was super friendly & gave us great tips. We started with the mixed Italian antipasto platter-tons of tasty meats, cheeses, & veggies that we all enjoyed. For our main dishes, the mushroom pappardelle was creamy & delicious, & the bucatini was full of flavor. The veal chop was juicy & perfect, & the rabbit was tender & amazing. Every bite was so good!
Daniel picked a wine that went great with our food. For dessert, the pistachio tartufo was sweet & creamy, & the espresso was the perfect finish. Pulcinella is always a hit, & sharing it with friends was even better. Can't wait to come back for round four! Totally recommend it!
Fantastic cuisine by the chief. Fine Italian dining with a sophisticated twist on flavours & quality. Great service with great attention to detail. 10/10 experience throughout.
A charming Italian bistro in Montreal, offering excellent service, delicious food, & a cozy atmosphere. It's a great spot for a date, though it can get noisy when busy due to the low ceiling & small dining area. However, the quality of the food & service more than make up for it. Some dishes are on the pricier side, but the flavors are worth it. Highly recommended!
Je n'ai pas l'habitude de laisser des avis mais les pâtes au pesto pistaches- straciatella valent le détour! Au delà de ça, le service est impeccable, tellement de gentillesse & un si bon accueil qui rend l'expérience spéciale.
Je recommande!

Shoutout to Ralph! Always a good time & great service! Thank you for making my birthday memorable !!!!!!!!!!
One of the best Authentic Italian Restaurants in Montréal.
If I lived closer I would be frequently having many Dinners with Friends & Family.
It's worth the drive to Petite Patrie.
The service was phenomenal & the food was amazing.
Give it a try you won't be disappointed & I am sure it ll be one of your preferred Italian Restaurants.
