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.
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.
It wasn't a great experience, but it also was not horrible. Service is the only thing that managed to salvage this review, otherwise I would have been worse.
Note that it is a fancier resto, so price & portion might not be appealing to some. The burrata was delicious & had a fresh taste. There was also a dip for bread which was olive oil & pesto but that costed 8$. I cannot justify it… my pasta portion was smaller vs my friends with a little bit of meat. It was also 34$ & I could not justify the cost. Felt quite disappointed. Then we ordered tiramisu, didnt even know it was table side. For 38, it was layer after layers of cookie, cream & coffee powder. In the end, I only had cream?
Anyway, will I ever come back? Probably not. Will I ever recommend? Probably not either.

Siamo Noi is brand new & aesthetically pleasing-like a shiny new toy-so naturally it's packed. Good for them. But if you're here for the food, honestly don't bother.
We waited 35-40 minutes to be seated, with no offer of seating or waiting area. Or even a drink. Just standing awkwardly in the way of foot traffic… (we had a reservation for a specific time & apparently our table wasnt ready ).
The food? The pasta was bland (did they forget to salt the water?) & the rigatoni was practically raw-there's al dente, & then there's undercooked. No thanks guys! The steak was decent, but charging extra for sides on a $69 portion fit for a bird is diabolical!
Appetizer portions were equally laughable for the price-truly insulting. It's like being gaslit into believing you're eating'high quality' when it's really nothing special. I get it, though-the rent at Royalmount is probably sky-high since nobody even goes there.
The highlight was the table side tiramisu, which was delicious. Enough for two, maybe-but hardly worth paying for a second portion at that price.
the design of the restaurant is beautiful, makes you feel like you're away from Montreal, maybe a grand restaurant in Vegas? Food is good for restaurant food. Is it out of this world, no. Pasta is ok but the fish is delicious. One of my problems with montreal hospitality is that 1) it sucks & 2) if the owner walks past you & doesn't say'welcome, enjoy your dinner' & just stares at you = game over. Montreal, you still have a lot to learn & to be honest, so do owners of these'trendy' places.
Siamo Noi- A Fiery New Gem in the City
From the moment I stepped into the restaurant, I knew I was in for a special experience. The warm, inviting ambiance, with its soft lighting & attention to fine detail, immediately set the stage for an unforgettable meal.
The menu, a celebration of seasonal ingredients & expertly executed italian cuisine, is a testament to the chef's passion & creativity. We started with a ouple of appetizers. They were all stellar (Octopus, anchovies & scallops.) vibrant explosions of flavors that were perfectly accompanied with a glass of white wine.
For our main courses,
The Branzino was cooked to absolute perfection, juicy with a beautiful crispy skin. We also had a handmade pasta with mushrooms that was simply divine.
What truly sets Siamo Noi apart is the attention to detail. From the impeccable service to the thoughtfully curated wine list, every aspect of the dining experience has been carefully considered. The staff was knowledgeable & attentive, offering helpful recommendations & ensuring that our every need was met.
The atmosphere was lively yet intimate, making it perfect for a romantic dinner or a special occasion with friends. & to finish, the zeppole with chocolate cherries was rich & decadent, the perfect ending to a wonderful meal.
This is more than just a restaurant; it's a culinary journey. It's a place where passion, creativity, & exceptional ingredients come together to create a truly memorable dining experience. I highly recommend Siamo Noi!
Tried this restaurant last night with my best friend, & honestly, I'm glad I gave it a shot. But I won't be going back. The first thing we noticed was how incredibly loud the place was. While I get that it's not entirely the restaurant's fault, the noise level made it really uncomfortable to have a proper conversation or even enjoy the ambiance.
The food? Tasty. Every dish we tried had good flavor, so no complaints there. But the portions were shockingly small. The pizza was literally half a pizza & still charged at full price. The pasta came in a plate so empty it looked more like a tasting sample than a meal. Not minimalistic in a chic or upscale way… just cheap-looking.
We also ordered the Burrata, & when it arrived, we were asked if we wanted to add Focaccia - & now I understand why. They serve a tiny piece of Burrata (cut in half) with some olive oil & balsamic. No bread, no veggies, nothing to go with it.
In short, the food had potential, but between the volume, the tiny portions, & the confusing experience, it just didn't do it for me. Glad I tried it, but that's a one-time visit for me.

Siamo Noi was a fantastic discovery! The service was also impeccable, as was the decor. The must-tries are definitely the drinks (especially the Pornstar martini), the focaccia, the Caesar salad, the batuta di manzo (beef tartare) & the indivia salad (if you enjoy a touch of bitterness). The pizzas-though on the smaller side-were fresh & packed with flavour (highly recommend the pistachio e mortadella). The tagliatelle paglia e fieno was also delicious pasta dish.
Don't skip dessert-the tiramisu was to die for (they assemble it in front of you), & the key lime pie strikes the perfect balance of sweet & tangy. Their desserts easily rank among the best in town.
**Side note: The vitello alla milanese wasn't the best-it lacked in seasoning & was a bit dry. The agnello scottadito was decent, but had quite a bit of fat, which took away from the red meat experience.
The pasta was excellent, & perfectly al dente. The interior is well designed & photogenic. As a note, they don't serve'free' bread & portions are on the smaller side.
Really great restaurant! We got the mortadella pizzette which was the perfect appetizer to split between 4 people. I got the cavatelli pasta & it was delicious. Great service our waiter gave us recommendations on dishes & we loved everything he recommended! Will definitely go back here!
Came here for dinner on a Sunday evening. First of all, it's quite hard to find the restaurant if you are coming from inside the mall. The map isn't very clear. You need to park in the yellow section of the underground parking & follow signs or park at the outside parking.
We had reservations so we didn't have any wait time. The hostess was extremely nice. She offered to check our coats & brought us a little stool to put our purses on.
The restaurant is quite spacious & nice. However, it was very noisy so it was difficult to have conversations.
Our waiter was quite funny & friendly. We had 2 appetizers: the raw tuna & the octopus. As for the mains: we had 2 pasta plates: the Funghi & funghetti & the Cavatelli all'onda. The pasta was cooked al dente. My opinion is that the food was good but not wow. I was expecting more from this restaurant.

The place is beautiful! But the menu is very limited. Pizza could be better, we ordered the marinara, but the anchois was not the best. The focaccia with olive paste & oil was delicious, & the tomato salad was really good too. The pasta was too aldente, I've been to Italy but the pasta could use a minute more of cooking. I feel like there is room for improvement.
Service was slow & a little pretentious. I guess our table wasn't a VIP that had owners & managers hovering around them. Last I checked our money was the same color. Needless to say we ordered a variety of apps & main courses to share. Beef tartare was a let down, lacked flavor & the brioche was a little overpowering. The tuna crudo was simple. The scallops was lacking lots of seasoning, the octopus dish was our favorite. For the 4 pastas we ordered, we loved the funguetti but the rest were way too simple & lacked flavor. The 145$ veal chop was laughable. I guess the hype is just hype. I'll take my money elsewhere
The restaurant is beautiful but although we were just 2 we waited almost 2 hours to receive 1 tomato salad & 1 under seasoned mushroom pasta. Also it gets pretty loud so hard to talk.
While a pain to find the entrance - once you know, it's OK. Loved the speakeasy type bar entrance on ground level. Elevator up one floor & it's a whole different vibe. Beautiful decor. Superb food! Try the cod & olive to start. As well, the scallop & apple (or was it pear?) Was devine! The focaccia was served with a teeny dollop of green olive tapenade & olive oil - it was jam packed with flavor! Yummy! Pizzas were tooooo gooood! Too many gojd things to mention.. don't skip the key lime pie for dessert! Next time I will try some of the pasta dishes... service was great (thanks Vasili, or was it Gianni??? 😉 )

Had an awesome time at this Italian spot! The staff were super friendly, the pasta amatriciana was amazing, & the vibe with great music & a fun lounge downstairs made it a perfect night out.
So I walk into Siamo Noi at Royalmount, & right away, I feel like I just stepped into one of those cool New York hip restaurants-dim lighting, fancy marble, & chandeliers bigger than my nonna's attitude. You know, the kind of place where guys named Gino take their goomahs for a'business dinner.' The pasta? Not bad, but my zia Concetta could make better with one hand stirring & the other smacking my cugi for not calling her back. Would I come back? Maybe… but only with my goomah since my wife didn't like it.
Montreal has a new star on the dining scene, & it's Siamo Noi. From the moment you step in, you're transported to an effortlessly chic, Cipriani-esque atmosphere-elegant, lively, & undeniably stylish. Whether you're celebrating a special occasion or simply indulging in an unforgettable meal, this is the spot.
The food? Absolutely to die for. Some dishes are simply must-haves:
• The Acciuga & Burro & Focaccia di Recco-so good, we reordered three times.
• The Indivia salad-a perfect balance of flavors.
• The Funghetti pasta-a standout, full of depth & richness.
• The Branzino-cooked to absolute perfection.
• & for dessert? The tiramisu is insane.
Every bite, every detail, every moment at Siamo Noi feels special. An instant classic & hands down the best dinner experience in Montreal.
Beautiful restaurant, outstanding decor & an amazing ambiance. The set up is just a teaser though.. wait until you taste their food!! Everything from starters to their delicious desserts were mouth watering delicious !! Their home made pastas were incredible, just wanting more ! Looking forward to our next visit!! Cheers!
Beautiful decor & absolutely delicious food! Anchovy Toast is a must! Pastas are handmade & so flavourful. The keylime pie is better than any keylime I've had in Florida! Staff are so professional & well dressed. Absolutely love the vibe!
