If you're looking for a Valentine's Day dinner that tests both your patience & your expectations for edible food, this restaurant absolutely delivers.
The pasta arrived proudly undercooked - apparently the chef believes'al dente' means'still fighting for its life.' The portions were impressively tiny, which I assume was meant to help us focus on the experience rather than actually feeling full. Nothing says romance like leaving dinner hungry.
The fish came soaked in a vinaigrette so aggressively unpleasant that it completely overpowered everything else on the plate. I'm still unsure whether it was meant to be dressing or a science experiment. & the cake served for dessert? A bold culinary statement - mainly that desserts can, in fact, belong directly in the trash.
The only reason the night didn't collapse entirely was our waitress, who was genuinely great at her job & clearly working overtime to compensate for what was coming out of the kitchen. She deserves credit - & probably an apology.
As for the Valentine's Day menu, calling it a'special' feels generous. It was more of a cleverly packaged scam: high prices, tiny portions, & food that made us question every life choice that led us there. Honestly, I've had more satisfying meals at McDonald's, & at least there you know what you're signing up for.
I will never, ever, ever recommend eating here. Save your money, save your evening, & literally go anywhere else.
Went there to celebrate a birthday with around 6 other people. We were all well greeted & treated. Seeing as the weather is unforgiving & cold, we were all thrilled to find out there was a place to leave our coats & boots right at the front of the store. Upon asking for our table, we were immediately able to get directed towards it & were instantly seated. The staff were very understanding of the different requirements we felt we needed. If you want them to sing for a birthday, just ask them! They'll gladly do it &, although we didn't ask for it, it was fun seeing the people who did have a lot of fun & joy in their faces. The food was wow. I didn't know what to expect because that fusion wasn't one I had heard of beforehand but jeez Louise was this splendid. The pizza I had was very tasty & nourishing. Almost didn't have room for my dessert!
Overall an amazing experience!! 10/10 would recommend!
My husband & I went for New Year's Eve. We sat at the bar. The bartender/waiter was great. We ordered the special menu, all the plates were great, the mamma mortadella pizza was fantastic. The only plate we didn't enjoy was the tiramisu dessert, I'm Italian & that was NOT tiramisu… other than that everything else was great & would definitely recommend :)
Food was decent but service was great! It seemed to have only one server available & she noticed our food was taking long so they comped our dessert! :)
Tiramisu in Montreal offers a warm & inviting atmosphere with friendly service & a menu that captures the essence of Italian cuisine. My dining experience was enjoyable overall-the savory dishes were well-prepared, flavorful, & thoughtfully presented. However, given the restaurant's name, I had high expectations for the tiramisu, & unfortunately, it didn't quite meet the mark. While the texture was decent, the flavors lacked the richness & balance that make tiramisu a standout dessert. It could use a more pronounced coffee taste & creamier mascarpone to truly shine. That said, the experience was still pleasant, & I'd be happy to return for the main courses. With a bit of work on their signature dessert, Tiramisu could easily become a top choice for Italian food lovers in Montreal.
L'expérience que notre groupe (6 personnes) a eu au Tiramisu est plus que décevante. Le service n'a pas été à la hauteur & le personnel était vraiment mal à l'aise/ignorant face à la situation. Nous sommes arrivés au restaurant à 19h30, notre commande a été prise à 20h. À 20h30 nous avons reçu nos entrées, puis ... plus rien. Arrivé à 21h20 nous avons interpellé des membres du personnel pour leur demander si l'on allait bientôt être servi car cela faisait quand même presque 1h30 que l'on attendait notre plat principal (1 plat de pâtes & 4 pizzas ...) depuis la prise de commande. Un serveur, qui n'était pas de notre section est venu nous voir, relativement arrogant, en nous faisant comprendre que l'on exagérait sur le temps d'attente, qu'il allait regarder à quelle heure notre commande a été envoyée en cuisine puis nous revenir. Autant vous dire qu'il n'est jamais revenu quand il a compris que c'était bel & bien une erreur de leur part. Le serveur de notre section est donc venu nous voir, s'est excusé timidement en nous mentant (car il nous a dit que c'était plus long en cuisine qu'à l'habitude). Nous lui avons alors fait remarquer que l'ensemble du restaurant avait été servi, sauf notre table. Il a fini par admettre que c'était leur équipe qui avait fauté. Il nous a proposé des desserts gratuits. On lui a dit qu'on réfléchirait au geste commercial que l'on souhaitait. Finalement, nos plats sont arrivés vers 21h40. Nous avons finalement quitté le restaurant à 23h! & non pas parce que l'on passait du bon temps à chiller entre amis, mais bien parce que le service était long! En vous passant le reste des détails de ce service médiocre, nous avons finalement obtenu un geste de leur part : ils nous ont offert les entrées & les desserts. Au niveau de la cuisine, rien d'exceptionnel. Des prix élevés par rapport à la qualité des boissons/entrées/plats. Ce n'est ni mauvais, ni bon. C'est banal. Le seul point positif, c'est l'ambiance du restaurant! Je ne recommande pas cette place.

We ordered cocktails, the cacio e pepe pasta, & the boeuf & shishito pizza. All were absolutely delicious. The restaurant is beautiful & convenient location. We were though very disappointed with the service. It took 20+ minutes to get drinks, we were rarely checked up on & at one point our server disappeared completely & another started somewhat looking after our table. We were here for my girlfriend's birthday, & I saw some tiramisu's come out to tables with a sparkler, so I made a note to our server that we were celebrating a birthday also. Eventually a tiramisu came to our table without request, which was nice, but no sparkler. & then it was charged to our bill, even though we didn't actually order any dessert. No "happy birthday", no "thank you for coming", no "how was everything", nothing. Just given the bill after waiting 30 minutes at an empty table, & finally having to request it from yet another server, without a word spoken to us. We flew here from BC & I felt it was a disappointing way to celebrate my partner. Such a mix of emotions. The food was so good but we left sad.
First & foremost, the aesthetics of this restaurant were absolutely gorgeous & staff was very personable. Not only that, the appetizers, mains & cocktails were phenomenal too. Unfortunately the namesake tiramisu dessert left a little to be desired taste-wise but that may have been a fluke in an otherwise great experience.
Very nice place in the Chinese neighborhood. We went for lunch, so the menu was limited but it was really enjoyable nonetheless. Dishes were very good & a great quantity, it is really worth the trip ! I recommand the Cacio e pepe (so good) but the pizzas looked amazing also ! The Tiramisu latte was SO GOOD but maybe a bit small for the ratio of cream to coffee, so maybe take the dessert instead of the latte !
Très joli restaurant. Belle ambiance. Mon seul commentaire négatif est le choix de chaises. Les chaises avec les bras sont plus larges que la table & trop hautes & profondes par rapport à la table.
Le menu est un peu restrain en terme de variété mais intéressant. Les pizzas & salades étaient délicieuses, en particulier la Mama Mortadella & la césar. En entrée, la buratta était vraiment décevante : très petite & très peu de garniture.
Pour les breuvages, la carte des vins & alcool mériterait une section "digestifs & vins de dessert". Nous souhaitions un amer ou autre digestif, mais rien n'était au menu & le serveur ne semblait pas en mesure de nous proposer quoi que ce soit.

Plus beau que bon. Un peu coûteux également malgré que c'est compréhensible que ce soit rendu a ce prix à cause de la hausse des coûts de tout genre. Le meilleur truc que j'ai manger c'est le bout de lard Gaspir dans le plat Poché O Niku. Les french toasts sont bonnes, bien croustillantes. Je n'ai malheureusement pas été impressionné par aucun élément mais c'est bon dans l'ensemble.Un café dessert pour les intéressés :Le tiramissu latte est très beau mais très très difficile à boire. J'ai demander un peu plus de café pour diluer la mascarpone d'avantage. Allez vous faire votre propre opinion. Bonne appétit!
The food was really great, portions were awesome. However, the service was seriously lacking. Upon arriving, the hostess was not polite & very cold. Moreover, our waitress never came back to see if we were enjoying our food, or to see if we needed anything else. We were told there was another reservation at 9:30pm, & at 9pm the waitress came over about the cheques, without even asking if we wanted dessert. Overall, the food was great but the service needs improvement

La serveuse a offert un très mauvais service. Premièrement nous avons du lui demander par nous meme pour commander sans quoi elle ne demandais rien. Ensuite entre l'entre & le repas elle laisse les assiettes sur la table & la personne arrive avec les plats principaux. La table est rempli d'assiette sale & vide j'ai du lui demander de vider la table car personne ne le faisais. Par la suite elle nous offre pas le parmesan pour les pâtes vous avons du le demander à une autre personne qui ne comprenais rien du français ou de l'anglais & est revenu avec des boites en carton pour emporter quand nous avions même pas pris une boucher de notre plat encore. Notre serveuse assigner repasse & nous lui demandons du parmesan car jamais reçu encore. Râpe le parmesan à moitier sur la table à moitier dans le plat. La table est rempli de parmesan mais ne ramasse aucunement le dégât & part. Entre le dessert & le repas j'ai du lui demander car sans quoi on aurais continuer à manger sur une table sale. Pour finalement me faire amener la facture alors que j'ai à peine pris 1 gorgée de mon café que j'ai du demander car elle ne nous l'a pas demander. (Sans mentionnée le café noir qu'elle nous a amener sans lait ni crème ou sucre à côté ). Visiblement le service au table n'est pas le point fort de tous quand je dois demander pour tout dans la soirée & amène une facture quand on a peine commencer le dessert.
I’ve never given 5 stars for every category of criteria on Google before but this restaurant really deserves it. Everything about this establishment is great. From the food to the service & the atmosphere. Let’s start with the food, the il classico pizza is fantastic, the branzino my wife had was very, very good according to her & the tiramisu dessert was one of the best we’ve ever tasted. Originally, I didn’t think I would enjoy the tiramisu because it contains some Japanese whiskey but it wasn’t even detectable after the first bite. My wife is Italian & we’ve lived in Italy for 15 years & my favorite dessert is tiramisu & I’ve always compared the tiramisu in restaurants to hers & this was just as good if not even slightly better. The pizza too was like you get in Naples, Italy, so very good. We’re here in Montreal for 3 nights & we will definitely be going back to Tiramisu (restaurant) again. Can highly recommend this place. Oh, as for the service, Melissa was great. Very attentive to our needs & very friendly. Everything 5 stars. Don’t hesitate in going to Tiramisu!
Beau décor. Atmosphère branchée. Délicieuses pizzas & pâtes & l'assiette de charcuteries est delicieuse. Portions de desserts tres genereuses. Carte des vins intéressante. Bon service avec une sommelière bien gentille. C'est assez coûteux mais ça en vaut la peine.
