Siamo Noi offers a visually stunning and upscale dining environment that is frequently praised for its high-quality ingredients, particularly its fresh handmade pasta, exquisite Caesar salad, and tableside tiramisu. Many patrons highlight the exceptional service provided by specific staff members, often noting the welcoming atmosphere and attention to detail. However, the restaurant faces consistent criticism regarding its elevated price points relative to the small portion sizes, as well as an ambiance that many find excessively loud and occasionally pretentious. While some diners enjoy the vibrant energy, others report inconsistencies in food quality, service delays, and issues with reservation management, suggesting that the experience can vary significantly depending on the timing of the visit.
Had to leave a quick review after visiting recently but honestly, such a great experience. We came in about a week ago & everything was on point: the food, the drinks, the vibe.
But what really stood out was the service. Our server, Bazin, or I think he may have been the manager - absolutely crushed it. The place was busy, but he handled everything like a pro & made us feel completely taken care of the whole time. Super friendly, down to earth, & just genuinely great at what he does.
It's been a while since we've had service like that, he really made the night that much better for me & my friends.
Came on a Monday night & it was just absolutely exceptional. Shared the Caesar salad & pizza with my friend & just wow! One of the best Caesar salads I've had. The margherita pizza was extremely fresh & the dough was perfection.
For our mains I got the cavatelli which was incredible & my friend loved her maccheroni.
The HIGHLIGHT of the night was definitely the tiramisu. Definitely worth the $38 if you're a group of 3-4. We were only 2, so we brought most of it home, & somehow it tasted even better the next day. Truly the best tiramisu in Montreal. It was such a fun experience to see it being made in front of us.
Visiting family from Toronto, I was a guest of my wonderful cousins at this restaurant. I promise you that my review has nothing to do with the fact that my cousins know the owner, & are regulars there. The appetiser was great, the pasta dish I had (Genovese) was even better than I had experienced in Napoli & Genoa in past years. The real icing on the culinary cake was the Tiramisu assembled in front of you; delicious! Service impeccable, the atmosphere a little busy & loud on a Friday night, but the company made it all the more pleasant. Complimenti! splendido nell'intero.
Although the food was overall acceptable, the experience was honestly quite disappointing-especially for a place that presents itself as fine dining.
The tuna appetizer was excellent & definitely the highlight of the meal. Unfortunately, everything went downhill from there. The veal lasagna was still frozen at its core. Literally straight from the freezer to the plate, which is inexcusable at this level.
On a previous visit, I asked for half a pound of mixed cold cuts & was told they only serve mortadella… on pizza. That raises a serious question-what kind of Italian restaurant doesn't offer basic items like prosciutto, salami, sopressata, capicollo, pancetta ? & if you already have it in-house for pizza, why not sell it to-go? It just doesn't make sense.
As for the tiramisu, it came with a nice presentation, but the ladyfingers were as dry as the Sahara dessert most of the coffee ended up spilled across the serving tray instead of being absorbed where it should be.
To top it off, the ventilation is a real issue... it's a joke I left the restaurant smelling like I had just worked a shift at La Belle Province-not exactly the fine dining takeaway I was expecting.
Overall, acceptable food at times, but far from a fine dining experience.
As someone who has had the experience to visit multiple high end restaurants in Montreal, I would definitely recommend Siamo Noi not only the food is exceptional but the attention to detail enamoured me from the quality of the food to the romantic light
Perfect for a date night
