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.
If I can give a rating of 0 I would.
The worst restaurant I had ever been to.
We reserved for a party at 2 specifically at a TABLE. Once we arrived, the hostess tells us that there is no table available & we would have to sit at the bar… When I had asked what was the wait for OUR table, the hostess (who 1. had bad attitude, & 2. was attached to her phone) told us word-for-word;'well I don't know what time people will be done eating' ... #lmao what a response. We agreed to wait at the bar until our table was ready. The bartender asked if we wanted water (mind you, we were the only ones at the bar), never got our glasses of water. We finally get to our table, we waited 15 minutes, not one waiter or busboy served us water while there's an army of staff all around talking to one another. I mean even that hostess could have poured us water if she was not too busy on her phone. Listen, I've worked in restaurants, & at 9:50pm, there's no more rush.. Everyone around us were finishing up their meals & at dessert.. I'm looking around, practically breaking my neck for someone to notice that I'm looking for someone to at least say hello & pour us water. Finally around 10:15 some man comes, gives us water, not apologetic in any way shape or form. (Mind you, our reservations were at 9:30). Our menus were closed- ready to order. He did not even ask if we wanted drinks or anything. Seats were emptying up, I asked if we can sit a booth that just cleared up, he said he would get back to me. Never did. So at 10:30 my friend & I got up & left. Not one drink, not one waiter greeted us, not one bite of food. Ridiculous for a'higher-end restaurant'. Boycotting this restaurant as well as all the Fiorellino on Laurier since it's the same owner. All of this actually happened 2 months ago, & someone I knew just had a horrible experience as well just this week, so that reminded me to write this beautiful review about this disgusting experience. 0/10. Do better.
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.
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.

The place delivers across the board. Both the pasta & meat dishes are good & well executed, the cocktails are good & the wine list is strong. Service is solid & professional, even when the restaurant is busy-which it almost always is. The décor is beautiful & adds to the overall experience. Pricey, but in line with other high-end Italian restaurants in the city.
I ordered the Ravioli di Zucca e Ricotta, & I can honestly say it was the best decision I've made in 2025. This restaurant is incredible. The ravioli were soft, buttery, & packed with flavour, super rich, comforting, & absolutely delicious.
My mom chose the Filetto al Porcini, & you could immediately tell the quality of the meat. Knowing it's Canadian, sourced from Alberta, made it even better. My stepdad went with the Cavatelli all'Onda, & it was perfectly balanced & deeply flavourful. Overall, the prices truly match the quality of the dishes - everything felt thoughtful & well executed.
For dessert, we shared the tiramisu & the key lime. The tiramisu was the standout, especially since it's homemade & prepared in front of you, but the key lime was still excellent & full of flavour.
The service was flawless. Our server, Lucca, was attentive, warm, & professional, & the staff bringing out the plates already knew exactly who had ordered what - a small detail, but one that really impressed me.
The only downside I'd mention is the noise level. Even though the restaurant has a stunning aesthetic with beautifully painted ceilings, it can get quite loud. That said, the ambiance is still wonderful & the overall experience was outstanding.
Beautiful restaurant with a welcoming vibe. The food was very good. A few of us don't eat pork, & there was a small mix-up with pork in one dish after it was requested without, but the staff handled it exceptionally well. The waiter & manager both apologized, replaced the meal quickly, & offered compensation. Their professionalism & care for customer satisfaction really stood out. Would definitely return.

incredible all the way around! the food & drinks are delicious & the ambience is so warm & beautiful! the fettuccine was so creamy, the tuna so savory, & the branzino was perfect!!
A beautiful place. This isn't just a dinner, it's an experience. A meal that doesn't disappoint & dont skip the dessert! By far the best italian food in Montreal. The service is unmatched.
This is one of the best restaurants in Montreal! Beautiful decor & ambiance, amazing customer service, & delicious food. Our waitress Erika made our experience 10 times better. Would highly recommend 🩷
This place is always packed, so best to reserve in advance. Love the ambiance, & can get a little loud. Food is expensive but service & quality of food are there. The drinks are beautiful. Pizzas were great but rather small. The burrata was absolutely delicious. I could have licked the plate. Steak was cooked perfectly. All pastas were flavorful & al dante. They assemble the tiramisu in front of you, & it was oh-so-delicious. Would go back for special occasions.
