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.
The pictures of the food look nice, & the decor has a nice vibe, staff are friendly. However, we were initially seated near a window that opened onto a busy street with cars & busses, really unpleasant. I can't imagine anyone enjoying their meal sitting there. Then we got another table which was much nicer, but unfortunately the food was overall slow to come out & disappointing. The pizza had an undercooked crust & didn't have good texture, & some of the toppings were cold. The pasta dish we ordered was not good either, the noodles were over cooked bordering mushy, & the sauce really lacked any flavour. The Italian sausage in it also had little flavour, & no spice. The food lacked any love or passion. Really not worth the money, & disappointing.
The decor is nice but I unfortunately wasn't a fan of their food or service. Their pizza was good but burrata was extremely watery & ruined the pizza. Their carpaccio was ok. Don't see myself coming back.

Very nice & cozy Italian restaurant! The decorations & atmosphere are perfect for a night out with your partner or friends. The staff was very friendly & kind. Also they have a wood oven which makes their pizza really good. Definitely will be coming back!
Everything was good here in terms of the service & the atmosphere. But the food was just not on par with other Italian restaurants in the city. I found the pasta was served cold, & had hardly any flavor. The pizza was soggy with too much sauce. Given the price of the food you would naturally have higher expectations. Even with this critisim, the experience was enjoyable thanks to the above average service & the excellent atmosphere created by the lovely interior decorations.
For some reason, I had higher expectations when it came to the food & ambiance. BUT the decor was nice & beautiful. Food 3/5 - taste & presentation. The Margherita Pizza does not qualify as a real Margherita, you'll definitely find better elsewhere. The Rigatoni were really not up to my taste, something was simply off with that dish, thus why I give them 2* - maybe 3* to be generous. The grilled octopus was a little dry as I guess it was cooked earlier & just left sitting in a container since it was not warm nor hot despite being in the "hot appetizer section" & the presentation was not very appealing (see picture). I would probably not come back considering I could get tastier food elsewhere but at least I have it a try.
Such a cute spot! The wait to order was a little long to order even with a reservation, but it was still a great time. The food was amazing, even as leftovers the next day (Burrata & 5 cheese in the picture). The drinks were perfect too, my friend & I agree that we would go back just for that passion fruit mocktail. Again, the place can get really busy so it's a bit tight between tables, but the decor is just beautiful.

Endroit super beau avec son décor & son esthétique! Portion des plats, notamment des pizzas, génereuse! Très bon service reçu de la part des employés. Ils remplissent vos verres constamment & demandent si vous avez besoin de quoi. Une note spéciale pour notre serveuse Chanel. Elle a été super souriante & gentille tout le long, ouverte aux questions. On lui a mentionné qu'on jeûnait & a demandé si on pouvait recevoir nos plats à une certaine heure précise & elle a sû nous accomoder & nous faire plaisir. Vraiment, je recommande!
I did not like my meal it was bland but good service. The atmosphere was excellent with good decor. My appetizer was quite good but my pasta really was just not good. It tasted almost like dirt alongside mushrooms. Quite disappointing ☹️
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.
Suuuuper service J'ai été bien accueilli Très bel endroit La décoration est géniale & la la nourriture est bonne J'ai moins aimé le tartare de Saumon mais le reste était bon La pizza calabrese les pasta Les desserts Tout était bien Amer aussi à donné un excellent service J'y retournerai

Dès mon entrée chez Tiamo, j'ai été captivé par l'ambiance chaleureuse & le décor absolument instagramable qui promettait une expérience mémorable. Ce restaurant branché italien de Montréal n'a pas déçu ! Le service, convivial & agréable, m'a fait me sentir immédiatement la bienvenue, ajoutant une touche personnelle sans prétention. La star de la soirée fut sans aucun doute la pizza. Chaque bouchée était un voyage en Italie, avec des saveurs authentiques & une pâte parfaitement cuite. Il est clair que Tiamo maîtrise l'art de la pizza, la rendant incontournable pour tous les amateurs de cuisine italienne. La pieuvre était aussi super ! Mais ce n'est pas tout. La carte des vins est simple mais parfaite proposant une sélection variée qui satisfait tous les palais, du novice au connaisseur. J'ai particulièrement apprécié la façon dont le personnel a su conseiller le vin idéal pour accompagner ma pizza, rendant mon repas encore plus délicieux. En résumé, Tiamo est un incontournable pour quiconque cherche à profiter d'une expérience culinaire italienne authentique dans un cadre des plus photogéniques. Que vous soyez là pour l'ambiance, la pizza exceptionnelle ou la vaste sélection de vins, vous ne serez pas déçu.
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.
Made a reservation for 2 & had one of the most memorable nights in recent memory. The decor was impeccable & our server Santiago did everything in power to make sure we were taken care of & that all our needs were met. Food was excellent as well.
Newly opened restaurant close to McGill university serves delicious Italian food & has really nice decoration. Great place for a date night or catching up with a friend over some comfort food. The pizza was excellent highly recommended! Staff were very helpful & welcoming, I recommend reserving ahead of time.

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 👌
Décor, ambiance & nourriture incroyable. Pizza cuite au four. Les cocktails sont savoureux. A+ pour le Carpaccio de bœuf, la pieuvre grillée & la pizza à la Burrata.
