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.
Sofiane is the best chef & he makes the best pizza in montreal by far
The burrata pizza is one of the best if not the best i've ever eaten
The pasta was delicious
& the bri fondant entree was delicious as well
service was impeccable
Booked a reservation & they are fairly accommodating to our group of 7 with dining upstairs & down stairs. Very aesthetic & cute for photos (lots of mirrors). There is loud music but the playlist was good. Cocktails & wines good, well priced as well. 3 courses & cocktails won't run you up a ridiculous amount.
-Food-
Appetizers: Meatballs are a little dry but seasoned very nicely & have a good taste, octopus very forgettable
Mains: The rosé rigatoni & sausage was one of the best options, good sauce but not a lot of sausage. Ragu veal pasta good but nothing extremely wow. Duck linguine had a fake bacon taste. Will not be coming back for the pastas. All dishes came out pipping hot!!!
desserts: DELICIOUS & the best part of our experience. Even if you don't traditionally like chocolate mousse, like me, i still suggest giving this one a try. The chef creates a decadent twist to this dessert & it was AMAZING. The tiramisu creme was so delicious. At the time of our visit, the dessert of the day was cheesecake. Super creamy & light, maybe just missing a couli.
-Service-
The food runners seemed very young &
confused, not dressed well, & basically slammed the plates on the table. Water was very scarce & wasn't refilled. Old plates stayed on the table even if second courses had come. Wine glasses weren't very shiny & unused ones weren't cleared from the table even if we didn't have much space. Minimal knowledge of the menu. We were not informed of any last calls for the bar & couldn't order more. They were definitely pushing for us to pay quickly & leave even if we hadn't ordered dessert yet. The waiter was still sweet all things considered.

It was a snowy night outside but inside a brick oven had the place so warm, the wine went perfectly with the pasta dishes & the salads & yes the pizza were just perfect. The magical carrot cake was such a surprise!
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'
Tiamo is a great choice if you're craving well-prepared Italian cuisine, especially wood-fired pizzas & classic pastas, in a warm, chic atmosphere. Perfect for date nights, family dinners, or weekend brunch. For larger groups, consider booking in advance & be aware of plate size expectations.

🔧 Tips Before You Go
• Book in advance, especially for dinner; brunch is walk-in only.
• Go for the pizzas, which are freshly fried daily.
• Some dishes may be standard sized for the price - sharing is smart.
• Check out their extensive wine list & cocktail menu at the bar.
We just went there with my family to celebrate my wife's birthday. It is a hidden gem. I was not expecting the service & food to be this good. Our waitress was amazing & she was always around but like bothering too much amount. She gave suggestions. We ordered octopus, al ragu, Alfredo & for the kids cheese pizza (custom made since it is not on the menu). Everyone liked their food. Waitress suggested a mocktail for my wife for her birthday & she really liked it. The octopus was the best I have ever had & I am from Turkey so I know what I am talking about. Pasta was cooked perfectly. They also surprised us with a birthday dessert & sang happy birthday to us. We really felt special at this place. I don't know why some people say the portions are too small. I think it was perfect. The place is not actually for kids but they accommodated them perfectly not like some of fine dining restaurants where you feel that as a family that you are not welcome. The atmosphere was good. It was not cold or hot. The music was not too noisy so we cannot hear ourselves. Basically, I can recommend this place for dates or even for small family celebrations. The price is OK, I would not say it is cheap but compared to some other restaurants around they were reasonably priced.

Tiamo has a lovely atmosphere-stylish & cozy, perfect for a night out. The service was attentive & friendly, which added to the overall experience. The food was good, though not particularly memorable. The pasta I had was a bit bland & lacked the depth of flavor I was hoping for. Still, it's a nice spot to enjoy a meal, especially if you're looking for a relaxed dining environment.
This restaurant is a nicely decorated where a lot of people come for birthdays. But it is more style than substance. The food & cocktails are average, especially considering the price. The portions are very uneven as well. The pizzas are huge but the pasta plates quite small. The ceasar is nothing special, the bolognese was decent but needed salt. Portion was small. Cannoli was excellent. Cocktail was very light in flavor. If you are 10+ you only get the group menu, which app, plate & dessert for $55. It's is a smaller menu. A very important point for comfort. Because of the wood fired oven, it is very very hot inside the restaurant. Our group had trouble enjoying our meal because of the heat. Needs to be fixed.

Our hotel recommended this as a high end romantic restaurant. The music was NOT dinner music, more for a bar. The spinach & ricotta stuffed pasta in pesto cream sauce was bland & chewy. It took us 15 min to get glasses for our sparkling water. Our fault for not booking ahead of our trip. Get the pizza as that looked good anyway...
We tried for the first time & we really enjoyed the food the atmosphere & service everything was great the pasta was a little too dry but otherwise everything was great.
The service was impeccable, the staff really went above to respond to our many requests & to make us feel comfortable. That being said, the food was a tad warm/cool upon arrival & a bit mid in portion & flavour. For a price point slightly above your run of the mill pasta place ($25-30 a plate instead of $15-20), we expected above-average taste. Overall a great experience.
Such an amazing meal with my family. The food was excellent, pizza, pasta & the Tiamo shrimp was especially tasty. Very nice cocktails & tiramisu as well. Our server Chanel was wonderful, & we will be back again soon.

The place was extremely hot. We were literally sweating. The waitress confirmed it is usually hot in there as the AC is not strong enough. 2 different pastas that came to table were overcooked. Pizza was OK.
Don't come if you expect authentic quality Italian food. I had the Rigatoni Tiamo & the pasta tasted like silicone with a little sauce on it. I tried the Alfredo & it was flavorless & also tasted like silicone. The pizzas & desserts were alright though.
The penne pasta was hard to chew, not Al dente at all! & not much pesto sauce on it... was very dry. Seemed like they were too much in a hurry to serve it, tasted half cooked. Not much of it either for $23. Drink 🍹 was not that big for $18. Tasted ok. Bread was burned. Whatever wasn't burned tasted ok. Staff & service were great & decor really fun but I'm not coming back. Glad I wasn't here on a date, I wouldn't have a happy face on 🙄. If you decide to stop by definitely don't sit by the kitchen. It felt hot 🥵 & isolated. Pretty much everyone asked to be moved to a table. A bit disappointed ☹️
This is a great little spot in Montreal. I enjoyed the music. The pasta was tasty. The staff were very Pleasant. The owner actually bought me a beer. It had been a very long week. Away from my family & it was Father's Day. Thank you! See you next trip.
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.
