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.
J'ai dû retourner mon assiette 2x car les pâtes était dure même pas proche du aldente ! Les drinks sont cher avec plus de glace que de liquide & les desserts tel que les canolis ne sont pas frais & sont loin de gouté les traditionnels desserts italiens ! Pour le resto il est beau l'ambiance est bien mais je ne recommande pas rapport qualité prix gros zéro & le resto est mal positionner !
Overpriced for the quality of food & service they offer. They clearly couldn't handle a pre-booked group of 20 people. We waited nearly two hours just for the main course. I had to ask five times for my dessert, & by the time it arrived, I didn't even want it anymore. The only reason this place gets one star is for the drinks.
I usually always take pictures to post with my reviews, but this experience completely drained me, I didn't even feel like taking any. The temperature inside was uncomfortably hot, probably because of the wood-fired oven, & by the time I got home, I smelled like pizza.
After spending over $200 for two people, I expected much better service. Never going back.
With the affordable price 100$ for 2 person with 3 drinks 1 pizza for share & 2 meals of pasta. The food is ok, good to try something new, but not'wow'
Great menu, food was delicious, drinks were a little too strong for my preference, decor & ambiance is cozy chic. The waiter didn't really know the menu/wines & couldn't give recommendations. Would go back.

Vibe is so cool, music is beautiful, waiters is amazing, Hamza cared all the time about me & my girlfriend about food & drinks. He is very good person, Ti Amo should value these people
J'ai réservé, pour 10 dernière minute pour un souper d'anniversaire. Le restaurant est très beau visuellement , le décor & l'ambiance assez chic & privée. Le service, offert par le serveur ( the handsome guy with dreads) a été impeccable . Il a été patient & s'est bien occupé de notre groupe ( malgré les retardataires). La nourriture… sur 10, les avis étaient partagés, mais dans l'ensemble, la nourriture n'était pas au goût de certains… Moi, j'ai aimé le goût de mon plat (bavette), mais la viande semblait avoir été tranchée du mauvais sens, ce qui le rendait dure à couper. Les drinks étaient excellent! Sincèrement, belle trouvaille. J'y retournerai. Conseil : prévoyez 30m pour trouver un stationnement, l'emplacement est situé sur le coin d'un gros boulevard.
Good cocktails (8/10) & the brie appetizer was also good (8/10). But the mains : ravioli & pizza were a big letdown (4/10). Overall, a nice spot for drinks & a chat, but not for dinner.

We ordered the tuna tartare, prosciutto pizza, & lamb chops. We also got two alcoholic drinks each.
The tuna tartare was okay. There wasn't a lot of tuna in it though, but I think that if you are new to eating raw fish, you would enjoy this as the creaminess of the sauce & fresh vegetables in it are the dominant flavors.
The prosciutto pizza was also okay. There was a good amount of prosciutto on it, but it is mainly a plain cheese pizza with prosciutto on it. I would not recommend getting this unless you like plain pizza. I would also recommend splitting this with at least one other person as the pizza is quite large.
The lamb chops were very good! They were cooked to the specification requested (medium-well), & the vegetables accompanying it (asparagus, potatoes) were cooked very well.
The service is good. We requested to be reseated to the upper level, which was promptly fulfilled. If you sit by the open kitchen, note that it is VERY hot. The rest of the restaurant is at a good temperature.
The drinks were not very good. In my opinion, they tasted very similar to hand sanitizer (like rubbing alcohol with a hint of fruit).
Overall, I would recommend this restaurant. The lamb chops were a highlight!
Excellente expérience. La nourriture est incroyablement bonne , les drinks tout autant. Le staff est attentionné & super gentil à l'écoute. Super belle ambiance & décoration. Idéale aussi pour des occasions à grand groupe
EDIT: The owner was very kind & reached out. I received a refund which was very appreciated. Thank hou for making it right. Unfortunately we were pretty disappointed with our time here tonight from the prices, to the food & the service. We got the fettuccini Alfredo which was extremely small for $25, tasted bland & was not creamy, however the pizza I had tasted good. Now the drink prices were a shock for us. $5 for the tiniest cup of coca cola & $12 for a Shirley temple (which is just sprite snd grenadine). So essentially we were charged $7 for a tiny squirt of grenadine?! We also got two so $24 but would have never even gotten one if we knew the price would be outrageous. Lastly the service was slow. It took about 30 minutes to get our bill & the place isn't big so not very busy so unsure why it took that long. It also took awhile to get the second Shirley temple & by time we received it we were already done eating. Safe to say we left unhappy & felt like our money was wasted :(
Tiamo is a wonderful restaurant! The drinks are excellent, the service is top-notch, & I absolutely love the decor. It's a great atmosphere all around. I highly recommend it!

TIAMO Italian Cuisine in Montreal deserves 5 stars for its exceptional service & delightful menu. The customer service was impeccable, with friendly staff ensuring a memorable dining experience. The espresso was rich & aromatic, perfectly complementing the incredible tiramisu, which was light & decadent. The pizza had a perfect crust, & the steak was cooked to perfection, juicy & tender. Their drink selection was excellent, pairing beautifully with the meal. Highly recommend for an authentic Italian dining experience!
Sophia, Bianca & Youssef are extremely warm & welcoming. Great drink recommendation, & delicious food, they were able to accommodate my vegetarian diet. Will definitely be back ☺️
Enjoyed a lovely evening meal here with my partner, the food & drinks were spectacular & our server Sofia made our night even better. She was uplifting & very willing to chat with us. Will definitely visit again if we are in town.
Sit upstairs if you can - a little more relaxed & out of the immediate bar area. We had the burrata pizza & duck dish. It was not off the charts but was tasty. Our server Chanel was fabulous. She offered a recommendation from every part of the menu which we appreciated. Oh also, most wines are by the bottle (if you are particular about wine - by the glass options are limited). But mixed drink menu looked extensive!!
Ambiance is definitely a 10/10! drinks were great & food was good. small portions but the lobster ravioli was delicious. Peter was our server & even though the restaurant was obviously busy, he was attentive & enthusiastic. he acknowledged that it was busy & that the service may have taken a bit longer than he would have liked, which is super thoughtful of him. Will definitely be back! Thank you Peter!
