Salumi Vino is described as an authentic Italian gem with a warm, intimate atmosphere and attentive service. The cuisine earns high marks for fresh, flavorful pasta served al dente, with standouts like gnocchi tartufati and lobster pasta, and generous, well presented dishes overall. The open kitchen and personable staff contribute to a welcoming dining experience, while the wine selection enhances each meal. The experience is frequently described as cozy and suitable for dates, groups, and celebrations, and many visitors say they will return. Occasional notes mention longer waits on busy nights and a few dishes that did not meet expectations, but the overall impression is consistently positive.
Good: didn't have to walk all the way to little Italy.
Mediocre: most of the food, especially the pasta dishes
Bad: service. We were reluctantly given a table outside, then told to move, then told we can only order if all decisions were made (entrees, principle together). Maybe because their larger reserved party didn't show they slow rolled the bill
Awful: tiramisu. It was 3-4 partial ladyfingers with barely any espresso (owner, manager directly stated this), 95% whipped cream, & a paltry dusting of cocoa. Sure food preferences are highly variable but this dessert directly translates to'pick me up'. The espresso should have boldness, & there needs to be a bitter cocoa balance for the sugar. Plus where are the whipped eggs? We didn't finish it, needless to say.
Overall it felt like we were an annoyance to this crew. If you want meatballs of a forgettable nature (& why anyone would purchase this sauce for home is beyond me), pasta dishes with equal or lessor impact, & a dish that is a shameful render, by all means stop by!
Excellent experience! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
We had a wonderful evening at this Italian restaurant. The welcome was really warm & the staff were lovely from the moment we arrived.
The atmosphere is very friendly with tasteful decor & a cozy feel. The soft lighting creates the perfect setting for dinner as a couple or with friends - you feel comfortable right away.
As for the food, we absolutely loved it! The pasta was perfectly cooked, the sauces were delicious & the portions were generous.
The service was attentive, the servers are friendly & know their menu very well. They give excellent recommendations with genuine care & remain thoughtful throughout the meal.
The value for money is very fair for the quality offered. An address we warmly recommend for spending a lovely time enjoying authentic Italian cuisine.
Thank you for this wonderful evening, we'll definitely be back!
Superbe expérience, très beaux produits bien fait. Une carte des vins surprenante & accessible. Nous étions un groupe de 12 & le service a été exceptionnelle. Bravo!
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!
I don't usually write reviews, but Salumi Vino 100% deserves one. This place is hands-down one of my favourite restaurants in Old Montreal. The food is authentic, comforting Italian-like eating at my mom's or my nonna's-but with a touch of elegance in the way everything is presented.
The restaurant itself is small & cozy, with beautiful rustic walls that make it feel warm & intimate. One of the things I really appreciate is how clean everything is. I'm super picky when it comes to food & cleanliness, & what really impressed me is that the kitchen is completely open-so you can see everything being made right in front of you. It's like a little show, & it proves they're doing things right, from scratch & with care.
The wine selection is also great. Whether you're a wine lover or someone who just wants a nice glass to go with dinner, they've got you covered. & the staff is always so attentive & kind. Having the owner, Mario, come by each table personally just adds a special touch-it really feels like five-star service without the stuffiness.
I've been to Salumi Vino many times now, & I even hosted two family events there, including my small wedding. It was absolutely perfect. The location in Old Montreal makes it even better-amazing for photos & just a beautiful area to be in.
I recommend this place without a doubt. It's a hidden gem that truly feels like home, & the food never disappoints.

Nice spot. Great atmosphere, cool interior with chill upbeat music. Great staff, friendly & attentive. We enjoyed the food & the whole experience as a family with 2 adults 2 kids.
Great gem of an Italian food, ravioli & meatballs were very delicious as well as the zucchini mozzarella. Tiramisu was good but not traditional more cream than mascarpone
