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.
It took over 20 minutes to get our orders taken even though the reservation was only an hour & a half. The waiters brought us a dirty spoon & we didn't have a consistent waiter. The food was good.
Tiamo has a great atmosphere with wonderful vibes. It is in the centre of downtown & close to many hotels. My friends & i came here as we were visiting from Ottawa & this Italian place had good reviews & good pictures. However, We had a reservation @9:15 & was sat down & told we had a 2 hour time cap. Which is fine that is plenty of time. However it took a server 15 minutes to serve us drinks then another 15-20 minutes to take our order. Our order wasn't taken until 9:45. Our server also switched 2/3 times before we knew who our actual server was. We didn't receive our food until 10:15 & they close @11pm. We felt rushed & the wait had our group of 5 pretty agitated. We also didn't receive the basket of bread until 5 minutes before our meal. The basket has 5 strips of pizza bread with olive oil & we were all so hungry we ate it pretty fast. The tiramisu was all cream & had no cake. It felt like I was eating spoons of cream. We had to wait another 20 minutes for our bill as we saw our server was taking a shot with a bigger table across from us. I would come back here again for the food & vibes but for $50 PER PERSON. I expect better service.
Edit, suite changement de propriétaire: Je laisse mes 5 étoiles, le service est impeccable. Les pizzas & le vin sont très bons! Ancien avis: Tout est très bon ! Le personnel est agréable & l'ambiance chaleureuse.
Basic Italian Mediterranean influenced cuisine. Nothing special in terms of layers of flavours - food tasted good, that's about it. Drinks & Cocktail offering was decent, lots of fruity girly drinks- mostly like drinking juice. Very young crowd & the service was basic, had to constantly wait for everything even when asked multiple times to the waiting staff. Food was brought to the table in a disorderly fashion - one of the main dish arrived 18 minutes after the 2 others ..

Ambience & Service were great, no complaints in the slightest. Pasta was severely undercooked, not salted enough. No flavour. Pizza was undercooked, bland & soggy. Cheese appeared to be shredded pizza mozzarella instead of fresh mozzarella, which for 28$ for a single person pizza is kind of insane. For the money, Papa Johns is better 😬 Good vibes, but if you actually care about food, this place is a skip 🤷♂️
Me & my husband were visiting the city for the weekend & came across this beautiful restaurant, food was delicious! & the atmosphere was mellow & warm, service was outstanding as well, totally recommended.

We enjoyed the food, the meatball appetizer was cold (we didn't complain) the taste was great, I had the salmon hubby had pizza, he said there wasn't enough meat... the service, our waiter wasn't very tentative, he did keep our water glass full..we had to chase him down for a drink & dessert then the bill. He was a lovely guy maybe he was too busy? You need reservations this place was PACKED! If you love be to be surrounded by young loud people dine in the bar. The entrance when we were leaving at 9pm was standing room only!! Crazy all very young people. Well we go here again? Not likely. Only because there is better in Montreal.. if it were Ottawa, we would for lack of choice.
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.
Celebrated my birthday dinner here & everything was amazing! Wonderful service & food & drinks were great. Tried two different pastas & both were delicious.
Très belle expérience, très bonne nourriture. La quantité & la qualité sont au rendez-vous, la pizza burrata est excellente, les cocktails sont très bien réalisés. Les desserts m'ont également surpris, la quantité est généreuse & savoureux. Je recommande vivement pour une bonne expérience culinaire à Montréal! Sans oublier la serveuse qui était attentionnée, douce & super sympa. Je recommande à 100%
Honestly so good. The burrata pizza is worth it ($29). 2 of us shared a pizza & a salad ($13) & it was more than enough food. The service was excellent. The vibes are beautiful. On a Wednesday, you didn't need a reservation. On a weekend, make a reservation. Chocolate mousse was very good too.
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.
