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 visited Tiamo on a weekday evening. Our first impression was positive. The hostess was welcoming & proactive in finding us a table despite our spontaneous visit.
However, service was quite slow. We waited nearly 30 minutes before seeing our server, which felt unusually long & had us considering leaving. Fortunately, we were attended to shortly after.
We ordered the Italian sausage pizza & the Mediterranean pizza. The dough was well-made & met expectations, but the overall experience was mixed. One pizza was enjoyable, while the other was let down by a canned-tasting tomato sauce that lacked depth & flavor.
The ambiance & decor are beautiful, though the space is quite small with tables placed close together. In the evening, the music was fairly loud although still manageable for conversation, but not ideal. The staff interactions felt somewhat robotic & transactional, which took away from the overall experience.
Overall, I likely wouldn't return for dinner, but I'd consider giving it another try during the afternoon. So who would I bring to Tiamo? A casual friend.
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
The food was good at tiamos, specifically the pizza & the atmosphere was cool but I was hardly able to view anything at all as we were sat at a window bar seat looking out to the street with an uncomfortable heater underneath. I understand it was busy but I did make a reservation & asked not to sit at a bar top which it practically was.
I was very disappointed with the service on top of this. We were greeted not very welcomingly & had around 3 different servers who weren't concerned about how we were enjoying our food. Overall, wouldn't return because of the service.
L'hotesse à la réception ne parle pas français: j'ai dit bonjour & annoncé le nom de la réservation en premier, elle m'a répondue en anglais & a poursuivie avec l'anglais jusqu'à notre table. C'est un manque de respect.
La serveuse nous a servi gentiement & poliement en français.
La nourriture est'correcte' mais pour le prix (200$ pour 4 services) c'est plutôt ordinaire: crevettes trop cuites & sèches, la salade était sèche & sans saveur (3 gouttes de balsamiques). Le seul plat qui se démarquait était le brie fondant sur la pâte à pizza (délicieuse).
Pour le menu St-Valentin (obligatoire le 14) on devait payer à l'avance au moment de réserver avec le pourboire (20%!) automatiquement inclus!! Je me demande à quel point cela est légal. Jamais vécu cela dans aucun restaurant même les plus raffinés, au Québec.

The service was great & friendly overall but the food was lacklustre & expensive for what it was. I ordered a carbonara that had no yolk & barely Parmesan cheese. I was able to save it mid-meal by asking for more Parmesan. Overall very underwhelming unfortunately. The pizzas looked good. Maybe I ordered the wrong dish that night?
We had to wait 1 hour for the food to come. I had the duck carbonara & a four cheese pizza. The portion to price ratio was laughable. I could understand if at least the quality would match the price, but no. The food was really bland. No salt at all,I felt like I could find more flavorful italien food at domino's. In short, avoid!

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 $200 for two people, I expected much better service. Never going back.
Superbe endroit!
La nourriture est délicieuse, nous avons goûté aux pizzas Ribeye & à la Quatre fromages. Les portions sont généreuses & les prix sont raisonnables. Le décor est magnifique & le personnel très gentil.
La nourriture était fade. Les pâtes Alfredo & au canard sans goût. La pieuvre trop cuite. Les escargots noyés dans le beurre & peu d'ail. Les pizzas étaient correctes par contre, le four a pizza en est sûrement pour quelque chose. La burrata n'était pas assez coulante, venant d'un restaurant italien, on s'attendait à mieux! Les cocktails étaient par contre adéquats.
Côté service, nous sommes arrivés tôt (17h30), avant le rush. Malgré cela, le service était particulièrement lent. Nous devions redemander à répétition du poivre, parmesan, huile, ustensiles, etc. Le parmesan n'est jamais arrivé! Nous avons même annulé notre seconde bouteille de vin car après 20 minutes elle n'était toujours pas arrivée.
Le staff ne connaissait pas le menu, ni la carte des vins. Le vin est du vin à 14$ la bouteille vendu 65-80$, & la sélection laisse à désirer. Je travaille dans le milieu & peux dire sans crainte que la carte pourrait être revue afin d'améliorer l'expérience client.
Les chaises sont plutôt inconfortable, quelqu'un ayant un peu d'embonpoint ne pourrait définitivement pas s'asseoir confortablement.
En hiver, toute la section du bas se fait'drafter' par le froid à chaque ouverture des portes puisque le restaurant ne se donne pas la peine de fermer la seconde porte du portique pour éviter cette situation. Un grand rideau noir à été installé pour limiter l'effet mais c'est nettement insuffisant.
Nous avons remarqué pendant notre repas une multitude de livraisons. Je suppose que le restaurant priorise les livraisons avant les clients sur place?
Dans le quartier des spectacles, Tiamo est un restaurant qu'on ne peut qu'aimer.
Salade ti amo, poulpe grillé, spaghetti, pizza : tout était délicieux! Une mention pour les desserts qui sont vraiment délicieux.
Un endroit à découvrir si ce n'est déjà fait!
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!
J'ai apprécié l'ambiance du lieu ainsi que le service. La qualité de la cuisine est à saluer car les pâtes à pizza étant cuites au four, cela apporte une vraie touche de saveur.
J'enlèverai ceci étant une étoile par rapport au prix, que je trouve un peu excessif.
Un vrai coup de coeur ! Tout était parfait du début à la fin. Dès l'entrée, ça sentait incroyablement bon ! Je n'avais pas faim en arrivant, mais la nourriture était tellement incroyable que j'ai tout dévoré. Le service est attentionné, le personnel professionnel, gentil & chaleureux, ils ont fait d'excellentes suggestions. L'ambiance est conviviale & réconfortante. Chaque plat est préparé avec soin & déborde de saveurs ; on sent vraiment que tout est fait avec passion. Les portions sont généreuses, la pizza, on l'a partagée à deux sans problème. Je recommande à 100 % !
