Salumi Vino is a true gem. Authentic, cozy, & unforgettable. The pasta was exceptional, especially the gnocchi tartufati. The wine selection also perfectly complemented our meal.
Thank you Mario for your hospitality & passion. You've created a little piece of Italy in Montreal. We'll definitely be back!
An amazing find in Old Port! The food at Salumi Vino is absolutely delicious, with pasta cooked perfectly al dente.
The arancini tasted perfect & the beef ravioli will satisfy any cravings for a stuffed pasta. The mushroom sauce for the ravioli was great but the large mushrooms in the dish became a bit too much even for a mushroom lover like myself. However, the ravioli itself may be the best I've ever had.
The gnocchi was a standout as well. The owner Mario takes great care of his customers & he's created a wonderful ambiance. Already planning to come back next time I'm in Montreal to eventually make my way through the entire menu!
This is the real deal. Been all over & rarely did I have the experience I had here. The owner personally takes care of all the clients & is extremely passionate about his food & rightfully so. The wine list is impressive. The meatballs & eggplant parm are just like our nonnas used to make. The gnocchi were divine & the ravioli were to die for. Their tiramusu was another show stopper. The wine recommendation was perfect. I felt like i was traveling back to my chldhood with the food, hospitality & ambience
If you are looking for delicious authentic Italian food in Montreal, this is the place to go! The dining area is small but intimate & the service was attentive. We ordered the fried calamari & arancini for appetizers & the Cavatelli con Provola Affumicato, Ravioli con Manzo, & Gnocchi Tartufati for our entrees. The pasta was all homemade & my sister said the gnocchi was the best she's ever had (& I agree). The sauces were also fresh & full of flavor. The sauce on the raviolis is worthy of a special mention; it was almost gravy like & the mushroom wasn't overpowering. My only complaint is that I didn't save any room for dessert! I will definitely return to this hidden gem the next time I am in Montreal.

Wow, what a discovery! Facts: this is an Italian restaurant; it has an extensive wine list that complements much of the scratch made menu items. Notable differences from "other" Italian restaurants: the menu has a lot of off-the-beaten-path items (zucchini flowers as appetizers) as well as well-thought interpretations that transport you to Italy. The sauces are well simmered, so they develop a rich taste, enhancing the meats, fish or vegetables. We didn't have desserts, but the veal meatballs (with its Parmesan gratin & tomato sauce) & zucchini flowers as appetizers were well received, & the main courses of rapini sausage pasta (a bit oily, though), gnocchi & tuna plates were well executed. Don't forget to ask for bread to capture all the sauces that come with main dishes - it's a shame to waste it!
This place is a hidden gem. Although the restaurant is small, it was phenomenal. The service is great & you can watch the chefs cook your food as you dine. I had gotten the chicken with sundried tomato sauce, which was phenomenal. We also shared the burrata, & my family got different meals like the gnocchi, & everyone loved their meals. The cappuccino was fantastic, too. It's also fairly quiet, which was a nice change of pace considering a lot of the last restaurants we visited were louder.
Amazing food, incredible staff, & a knowledgeable owner made our dining experience unforgettable. Every dish was a delight-the gnocchi with wine pairing was exceptional, & the burrata with fried pita was delicious. We walked in around 9:30 pm on a random night in Montreal & were quickly accommodated. Although it took some time for our food to arrive, it was worth the wait as everything was freshly prepared. My boyfriend & I will definitely be returning, hopefully with a reservation next time. This is a truly magical restaurant for a special date night.
A life changing restaurant. The absolute BEST pasta in the city. Hands down. Best dishes: the truffle gnocchi is to DIE for!! A classic & absolutely delicious. Handmade gnocchi with a creamy perfectly balanced dish. The tomato sauce is hand made & makes for a perfect dish with their handmade pasta. Mario truly knows his wines & always picks a good pairing!! Definitely don't skip the chocolate mousse - it is happiness in a cup 🤩 A true hidden gem in montreal - worth EVERY penny!

Great food & even wonderful experience at the dinner tonight, we tried gnocchi & burrata & loved the freshness in the flavours. It was our anniversary dinner & Daniels great service & the smile made it very memorable! Thank you.
I am so glad I chose this for our first Montréal dinner, as it was incredible. We shared the Caesar Salad & Meatballs, which were so good, we ate every morsel. I ordered the Gnocchi with Black Truffles & it was amazing...soft handmade pillows in a creamy Truffle sauce! It was so filling, I took more than half of it home with me. My husband had the Ravioli, which was different than any we've ever had before. Each Ravioli was filled with braised beef & in a rich porcini mushroom "gravy". We had a nice table & our server, who I assume is the owner, was very nice. We'd return in a heartbeat!
Ok, I looked for apartments in the area because I want to eat, drink, & be merry here every day of the week! On. Monday night, it was quiet & intimate. Started with the best Negroni I have ever had, escalated with the Gnocchi in a truffled cream sauce wafting its scent like you see in the cartoons drawing you in. Paired with a Barbera d’Asti, it was delicious. Awesome experience!
