I have no idea why my experience was so different from everyone else's, & yet here we are. The setting is frankly bland, the service friendly but hasty, & the food just plain bad. I had $44 spaghetti caccio e peppe & truffle that had such a weird texture I thought there was a problem & the only thing you could taste was black pepper (yes I know how it should taste I've had it dozens of times in better restaurants). My 3 friends were disappointed as well. We had to request for Parmesan cheese, it wasn't offered (we all had pasta).
When I asked for a candle for my wife's birthday, the waiter replied « if you want ». When I was finished paying he handed me my receipt while looking in the other directions & left without a word. I'm clueless as to why it pleases anyone, especially considering how overpriced it is.

The best Italian cuisine I've had in Montreal. Fresh gourmet pasta. Elegant atmosphere. Yummy desserts.

First timer. Sorry, not impressed. Won't be returning. For everything that I've heard about this restaurant it failed Big Time to live up to expectations, especially when charging such exorbitant prices, more than New York City & Miami. It's laughable. 3 star rating based on prices / product / service - you'd expect more. Both iffy service & food. Read on for details. A lot of small things add up. Ordered drinks - they didn't clear the wine glasses which a waiter is supposed to after the first round is ordered. Ordered a dirty martini & didn't get any dirty - had to ask. They still didn't take the wine glasses away even after they brought our cocktails. The Taglioloni Nero pasta was quite good, but they didn't bring a bowl to put mussel shells in. I think there was a combined five or six waiters/buss boys for the entire (LOUD) dining room, & it was a full house. Long breaks between waiter checking in on us. The $68 veal Milanese meat was so thin that the layers of breading were thicker than actual DRY meat content. Ordered for tea & it was only brought it after the dessert- sent it back. BARELY a cookie in the Tiramisu. Their valet is a completely unorganized mess for both cars up front & parked. Classic example of a restaurant taking advantage of their customers based of their longstanding reputation which is no longer being upheld.

Never go wrong with anything on the menu. Special the pasta. Great place for event as well. We used to have our company Christmas party there before the condominium construction.

I don't even know where to start! Thank you Beatrice for making our engagement dinner something we will never forget. From the moment we walked in the door it felt like we were treated like royalty! The service was absolutely incredible - so much so that we STILL rave about it over a week later. I have never seen such a dedicated staff & to be quite honest, none of us have ever had a service this exceptional. If I could give 10 stars to the service, I absolutely would. Of course the food was absolutely AMAZING. From sharing the starters & a pasta dish, right into our main courses, everything was absolutely delectable. I personally had the lamb chops & wow - the best lamb I have ever had (& kudos for the suggestion). Topping our meal off with a special dessert & sparkle to celebrate my fiance & I was just the perfect special touch. We will never forget our experience at Beatrice & it is quite a special place to eat. We will certainly be back & will highly recommend to anyone & everyone we know in MTL! Cheers to Beatrice. 20/10 stars for sure!!

Good service. The staff is pretty thoughtful & nice. They come over from time to time to ask how you are feeling today, & how's the food? Good atmosphere & food too 💕 The Tartare Di Salmone, where the salmon is finely diced, & the spices are just enough to not overwhelm the tenderness of the salmon. These fresh salmon cubes are wrapped in a slightly sweet sauce with crispy taro chips. The first bite is unforgettable. The Tagliolino Nero also tastes good! The squid ink pasta is really special. It is made with squid ink juice with clams on it. The taste of clams is bouncy, tasty but a little bit salty for me. I think the saltiness probably comes from the seafood itself, but still worth trying!

We had a dinner & were ordered pastas & some appetizer. They were all tasty & fresh . Also, desserts were delicious. We were visiting Montreal & definitely it is a good restaurant to visit .. highly recommended!!

The octopus tasted like it was previously frozen & then cooked had old & fishy taste. The squid ink pasta doesn’t contain any fresh squid ink & squid ink sacks. It just was black pasta from a package no real ink at all. The only dish was good & I can recommend was braised veal cheeks tortelloni. We had much better Italian food in simple restaurants in Montreal & Toronto

The only criticism I have is the portion sizes are a little small. At least for the dishes I had which was a pasta & a dessert.
