Overall, Tiamo comes across as a stylish and cozy Italian spot with a lively atmosphere and a strong emphasis on wood-fired pizzas and generous portions, though several reviews mention high prices relative to portion size and mixed dish quality. Pizzas are frequently highlighted as excellent, along with tasty pastas and appealing desserts, while a few mains can be bland or overcooked and some tables experience slow service or inconsistent pacing, especially during busy times. The cocktails and wine lists are often praised, and many guests note attentive, friendly service, even as others report variable experiences and occasional gaps in attention or speed. The ambiance is repeatedly described as chic, vibrant, and suitable for dates or groups, but noise levels can be loud and seating tight, with some guests noting discomfort at higher levels or near kitchens. Reservation advice is common, as is the sentiment that the dining experience can be very good or excellent, but value for money depends on expectations and the specific dish and moment.
We enjoyed the food, the meatball appetizer was cold (we didn't complain) the taste was great, I had the salmon hubby had pizza, he said there wasn't enough meat... the service, our waiter wasn't very tentative, he did keep our water glass full..we had to chase him down for a drink & dessert then the bill. He was a lovely guy maybe he was too busy? You need reservations this place was PACKED! If you love be to be surrounded by young loud people dine in the bar. The entrance when we were leaving at 9pm was standing room only!! Crazy all very young people. Well we go here again? Not likely. Only because there is better in Montreal.. if it were Ottawa, we would for lack of choice.
Superbe place & beau décor. J'ai adoré mon cocktail (El passion ) ainsi que mon verre de vin. J'ai été déçu par contre du plat principal ( côtelettes d'agneau ). Un peu cher pour ce genre de repas à mon avis & les pommes de terre n'étaient pas bien cuites. L'atmosphère était chouette & ma serveuse était bien gentille. J'étais assise au bar.
During our visit to Tiamo, an Italian restaurant, we ordered pizzas. The Prosciutto pizza was enjoyable & paired well with a glass of Valpolicella. The hosts & our server were courteous & attentive. It's advisable to make reservations, especially on weekends, as the restaurant can get quite busy due to its limited size. For those seeking comfort, tables on the second floor offer more comfortable seating compared to the bar stools on the first floor.
I really enjoyed having dinner there. I have been 2 Times & the second time was better (I was Seated upstairs) The food & cocktails were good, I took a pizza each time. I suggest to make a reservation in advance to make sure you have a seat in the dining room & not at the bar. It usually crowded & really loud (people talking + music) The staff is nice & the Space is well decorated.
Very busy place - we could only get seats at the kitchen bar (group of 4)... Which was not very comfortable. That's on us - we didn't call far enough ahead. Portions are fairly small, but the food is delicious. I would go back next time with a table reservation
Salmon tartare barely had any taste,, missed spices & sauces. Pasta was OVER cooked.. far from being a good Italian restaurant Unfortunately. Atmosphere & interior design is good

Une expérience qui laisse à désirer. Les plats sont arrivés en même temps que les entrées & ont a du les renvoyer & ils ont été réchauffés le temps qu'on nous les ramène donc c'était pas super bon... le vin a mis plus de 15 minutes à arriver alors qu'on mangeait déjà & que j'avais demandé à ce que le vin soit servi avec les entrées ... on nous a changé 2 fois de table car notre table était réservée & on avait pas fini de manger... on s'est retrouvées coincées le long du bar avec uniquement 2 chaises pour 3 personnes & au milieu du passage & on a attendu encore 20 minutes une autre table ... & en attendant ils nous ont même pas demandé ce que l'on souhaitait comme dessert...on commande enfin les desserts sur notre 3eme table & 5 minutes après qu'ils soient servis on nous demande de partir car la table est réservée ... aucune excuse, aucun geste commercial. Le service est lent & c'est à nous de manger en 5 minutes. Les prix sont élevés pour des pizzas & des pâtes. C'est une déception c'était mieux quand c'était Le moleskine. Lorsqu'on a une table pour 2H assurez-vous que le service est assez rapide, & si vous déplacez vos clients 2 fois faites un geste commercial & ne pressez pas vos clients pour parti
The food was great, we had the octopus, salmon dish, pizza, two glasses of wine & two desserts! However the place is a lot smaller than it looks on pictures & the tables are packed together, which makes the restaurant very loud. The service was horrible. We reserved a table 2 weeks in advance & upon arrival they tried to seat us at the bar in front of the hot grill. I had specified in my reservation that we wanted a table plus it was my boyfriend's birthday. Finally we pushed for a table but they said we could only stay an hour. We accepted to stay only if we could sit for 90mins but they still stressed us to leave & even tried to stop us from ordering dessert. We had a bill close to 200$, this place does not value their guests experience & money. Horrible service, unexperienced staff, definitely would not recommend to any of my friends.
I wish there was more than a 5 stars to mention how amazing this restaurant is! Decoration, ambiance, food, service, bar.. just wow! Very lovely experience at this freshly new opened restaurant.. the new owners are doing a great job! I wish it stays like this 👌
