Overall, Tiamo is described as a stylish, cozy Italian spot with standout wood-fired pizzas and generous, well-prepared dishes like burrata pizza and pasta, while noting that portions and prices can be steep and the space is small and sometimes noisy; service is a mixed bag, ranging from attentive and friendly to slow or inconsistent during busy times, with some visits marred by long waits or hurried pacing, especially on special occasions; many guests still plan to return for the atmosphere and solid food, and reservations are recommended, particularly for dinner.
We came in with no reservation & got sat at the window which was nice. The atmosphere was nice & the decor was modern. The food did not match the outside. I ordered the grilled chicken Caesar salad & the chicken was grilled till bone try. It was like biting into old bread. My boyfriend ordered the fettuccini Alfredo & it was good. The portions are small, there was a handful of pasta on the plate. The waitress was super nice. But while the waitress & the other employees were dressed nicely. The manager was wearing jeans & a t-shirt. Overall ok experience.
We came to Tiamo on a weekend & it was pretty busy, the atmosphere was pretty nice. We ordered the soup of the day as an appetizer, & got a beet soup. It was pretty good, & the croutons added some nice texture. For mains we ordered the Burrata pizza & the Cavatelli Al Ragu. The Burrata pizza was very good, the burrata was very fresh & creamy. The Cavatelli Al Ragu on the other hand was a little too salty & the pasta was a bit too hard. We sent it back & got another one but it had the same problem. However the service was amazing & they even offered us dessert on the house. We got the Tiramisu & the Cannoli which were both very delicious. The service was great & they were very understanding. We would definitely come back.

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.
