Siamo Noi, which means “Simply Us,” is a project of the heart. It’s dancing in your kitchen on a quiet Sunday night, with nothing to worry about but your glass of wine and the wooden spoon caressing your pan, bringing to life the phrase “made with love.”
Siamo Noi is our heart in every plate. With many years in the industry, Chef Marco Bertoldini pays homage to classic Italian cuisine while infusing it with a contemporary twist, creating an experience that is both nostalgic and dreamy.
Specializing in handmade pasta, we have designed our menu with the finest ingredients from Italy and Europe, balanced with local products, to offer a decidedly Montreal experience.
Our passion is reflected in every detail of this project, from the imported Italian tiles and wines to our exceptional service. We honor the simplicity and beauty of Italian culture.
Reviewers describe Siamo Noi as an upscale Italian dining experience with beautiful decor and a lively, sometimes loud atmosphere. The menu is praised for authentic, fresh flavors, especially handmade pastas, seafood such as branzino and octopus, and standout starters like burrata and focaccia, with tiramisu prepared tableside earning frequent cheers. Service is widely regarded as attentive, professional, and warm, often complemented by knowledgeable staff, though a few visits note slower pacing or occasional miscommunications when the restaurant is busy. Prices are described as high, with portions sometimes smaller than expected, leading some guests to feel the value does not always match the price, while others deem the experience worth the premium for the quality and atmosphere. The lounge area and speakeasy entrance add to the sense of occasion, and the overall impression is of a culinary journey to Italy, ideal for special occasions or a vibrant night out, with many guests planning to return to explore more dishes and desserts.
Amazing experience! The food is absolutely wow. The fresh homemade pasta is delicious, the pizza is extra tasty, a real treat! The tiramisu is even made right in front of you, which makes the experience even more special. & the alcohol shots are huge, USA style! Honestly, I highly recommend this place. We will definitely be coming back!
I had one of the worst service experiences on Friday, February 20. I made a reservation through OpenTable & even called the restaurant because I was having trouble finding the location. The host who answered was extremely rude & hung up on me twice.
When we arrived (only 15 minutes late), I politely mentioned that her tone on the phone was unprofessional. She then refused to seat us, saying the restaurant was full. Meanwhile, we could clearly see multiple empty tables. After pointing this out, she suddenly decided to give us a table.
The food was good - that's the only reason I'm even writing this review. The chefs clearly know what they're doing. Unfortunately, the front-of-house team completely ruined the experience. To make things worse, they canceled my OpenTable reservation so I wouldn't be able to leave a review.
Great kitchen, terrible hospitality. With service like this, it's hard to recommend this place.
Service, atmosphere & food were amazing! I made a last minute reservation for a group of 5 & requested to have a table in a specific area. The hostess was kind & guided us to our seats confirming they had seen my request. Our waitress (Jasmine) was excellent, provided us with information & recommendations. Her service was amazing & i recommend you book a table in her section for your next visit. Excited for my next visit there!
I'm writing this respectfully, but I'd like to share our disappointing experience at Siamo Noi for the Buona Notte evening- truly the worst service I've ever experienced in Montreal.
My fiancé & I arrived to join our group (who know the owners) & were refused entry despite the table having a reservation. The bouncer said'so what?' & only let us in after someone had to come downstairs at Limone to get us. This isn't even the bad part yet.
Inside, the service was extremely disrespectful. A bartender said'hah, nope' when I asked to order a drink, then walked away. She then dropped her phone, which I kindly returned to one of her colleagues - without a thank you.
We ordered 2 drinks from our table & waited a total 2.5 hours, they never arrived. After multiple follow-ups, the waiter was impatient, ignored us, avoided eye contact when he passed by us, & at one point was screaming at us saying he punched in the drinks. Our drinks never arrived - while every other table around us & people around were being served normally. We left without ever receiving anything. I am honestly traumatized by this evening.
The service was impeccable from beginning to end. Gabrielle, who was serving drinks at the table next to ours, kindly took the time to answer our questions about the menu & suggested dishes that we absolutely loved. She was gracious, knowledgeable, & effortlessly professional.
I'm genuinely surprised that previous reviews don't highlight just how extraordinary the Caesar salad is. The lettuce was vibrant, crisp, & exceptionally fresh. The dressing was perfectly balanced, & the pancetta was far superior to what is typically served - flavourful & beautifully prepared.
Another standout was the Maccheroni alla Giovanese. You could truly taste that the pasta was freshly made & cooked to absolute perfection - al dente, exactly as it should be. The generous pieces of veal had clearly simmered for hours, creating a sauce that was rich, deep, & incredibly satisfying. Without hesitation, some of the best pasta I've had.
Our server (whose name I unfortunately didn't catch) was attentive & provided outstanding service throughout the evening. The warm welcome from the owner added a lovely personal touch, & we adored the cozy banquette seating that was assigned to us.
& I almost forgot - the tiramisu is absolutely worth it. Prepared tableside with finesse, it was delicious & perfectly executed.
An exceptional dining experience. We will definitely be back.
It is the best food I have ever had In an Italian restaurant. It is pricey, but soooo worth it. I was in awe looking at the people cook, it was as if I was in a Gordon Ramsay episode. I bow down to them as I call them allI call chefs. The pasta all'Amatriciana with the guanciale was superb, along with the Italian hors d'ouvres were superb. The icing on the cake was the Tiramisu. OMG! It was the best Tiramisu I have ever tasted!!! I bow down to the pastry chef. Be ready to share the food with your friends or family. I loved everything!! The food, the service, the atmosphere, e v e r y t h I n g!! Thank you Siamo Noi for an amazing experience !! Hopefully it won't be the last time. God bless the restaurant, the owner/s, & the chefs 🙏❤?
We had heard great things about this restaurant from friends, & choosing to celebrate Valentine's Day there made the experience even more special.
From the moment we walked in, the stunning décor immediately caught our attention. It felt as though we had been transported to Italy - yet with a beautiful Montreal touch that made the experience feel both elegant & familiar. The space blends luxury, vibrancy, & a refined Italian menu all under one roof.
That connection to Italy became even stronger once the food arrived. Every bite was exceptional. The octopus entrée was incredibly tender, the lamb chops were cooked to perfection, & the desserts were absolutely top-notch. Watching fresh pasta being made in the open kitchen throughout the evening added an authentic & captivating touch.
The stunning bar on the ground floor is perfect whether you want to start your evening there & move up to the restaurant, or end your meal in the restaurant & continue your night at the bar - it adds a wonderfully flexible & lively element to the experience.
We were warmly welcomed upon arrival, & our table was ready & waiting. Miguel provided attentive, thoughtful service throughout the night, ensuring every detail was perfect. Alfonso, the owner of Siamo Noi, was also present & attentive, which truly reflects the pride & passion behind the restaurant.
The name'Siamo Noi,' meaning'It's us' in Italian, feels incredibly fitting after an evening filled with warmth, hospitality, & outstanding cuisine.
We cannot wait to go back & try the tiramisu made fresh by hand right at your table - it looked absolutely incredible. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a truly memorable dining experience.
We visited this restaurant with another couple last Saturday night, & the experience was exceptional from start to finish. Both the service & the food were truly on another level.
We chose the chef's tasting menu & were treated to some of the finest Italian cuisine I've ever had. Each course was beautifully prepared, showcasing thoughtfully sourced ingredients & introducing us to remarkable flavors.
If you haven't been yet, I highly recommend giving this place a try-you won't be disappointed.
A big thank?you to our waiter Pasha, to Valentina for the outstanding wine pairings, & to Marco for the unforgettable dishes. We're already looking forward to our next visit.
Great place for a special occasion. The food was incredible. The best pasta & pizza we've had in years. I was concerned about how kid-friendly is was going to be & we were pleasantly surprised. They had high chairs & kids menu. Thank you for that! Because it was a bit noisy, it was perfect for dining with kids because we didn't feel pressure to keep them super quiet. We all had a great time. It's also vegetarian-friendly.
Le resto est beau avec une bonne ambiance, même s'il y a beaucoup de bruit donc parfois difficile de s'entendre. Les plats étaient bons, mais les quantités étaient vraiment petites, surtout pour le prix. Les fettucines Alfredo qui étaient les plus chères (38$!!) étaient de simple pâtes au fromage. Le tiramisu était assez cher aussi, plus cher que certains plats mais peut se partager avec toute la table & ils le préparent devant vous; ce qui ajoute un petit « plus ». Nous avons été vraiment déçue par le service, le temps d'attente était long, autant pour prendre les commandes, amener les plats & débarrasser. Conclusion : rapport qualité / quantité / prix ça ne les vaut pas.
