Open for over four years now, Toro Rosso Restaurant offers customers a revamped menu. With the closure of La Strega in the spring, Toro Rosso has acquired part of the staff as well as it’s chef. This allows us to merge the menus of both restaurants and to add meals that are prized by customers. Therefore, in addition to the grilled dishes that have made its reputation over the years, Toro Rosso also offers Italian cuisine...
Reviewers repeatedly praise Toro Rosso for its honest Italian flavors and the use of fresh ingredients. Dishes such as pasta, tartare, osso buco, and salmon are highlighted, with spaghetti and meatballs singled out as especially delicious. The atmosphere is calm and warm, with a beautiful terrace and a welcoming, family-friendly vibe. Service is noted as professional and attentive, with courteous staff that enhances the dining experience. Value is a recurring theme, with generous portions and reasonable prices for Montreal, and the restaurant often offers themed menus for holidays like Christmas and Valentine's Day. Regulars describe Toro Rosso as a reliable go-to for Italian cuisine, a place to return to when visiting Montreal, and a spot that consistently delivers quality and hospitality. Overall the combination of solid food, attentive service, and a welcoming setting makes Toro Rosso stand out among Montreal Italian options.
Restaurant qui a des prix raisonnables. Bonne quantité, restaurant typique italien, bonne nourriture. Le service était correct, nous avons eu ce que nous demandions, mais pas de check up récurrent venant du serveur s'il nous manquait quelque chose. Ambiance relaxe, familial.
Expérience positive mais quelques lacunes: pas d'eau, pas de pain, portion canneloni insuffisante pour un repas, aménagement de la portion arrière du restaurant (toilettes, bureau & débarras) dans un état négligé. Le restaurant était presque plein, l'unique serveur était débordé. IL a eu de l'aide mais un peu tard.
Bonne bouffe mais le service laisse à désirer. Notre serveur était brusque, de mauvaise humeur & faisait des commentaires déplacés. Pas certain que je vais y retourner ou le recommander.
J’ai pris des pains à l’ail en entrée & des linguine vongole rouge ! J’AI ADORÉ 😻 JE REVIENDRAI !! J’ai VRAIMENT craqué pour la sauce vongole qui était juste PARFAITE 😍! D’ailleurs j’ai presque rien payé (pas cher du tout) !! Merci pour l’accueil chaleureux

SERGE the worst waiter in Montréal managing Toro Rosso. Rather have an empty patio than good trade. Should not work in hospitality, period. I just asked if I could have a dessert & HE hung up the phone. That is how rude this person is. Been here way before that restaurant changed name & so on.

Avoid this place on Sundays. If you want to be served by the worst waiter in the city, that's the place to go. If you seen an Old Bald angry man, yelling at customer that is the place you want to go. I was served the worst ever looking chocolate cake, it came in different pieces, his excuse was that it was the last bit of it available & expected to pay 7$ from that horrible waiter. Earlier today I went for breafast at Maggie Oakes at the Willan Gray, then went for bruch at Bistro Tendresse. Wonderful food & service. Then I went for a final outing for the day before going out again tomorrow as a tour guide. That ugly bald man yelling a me was the last straw. He should be fired on the spot. Why would anyone pay 7$ for a left over chocolate cake served with no love & looking so sad? The WIFI is not working so I asked to reset to no avail. The guy is a total moron, his excuse: he was the only waiter. Dont get me wrong I LOVE the restaurant, the food is great & get along with all the other waiter.

The food is always great & homemade. CALL before. Actual opening hours are VERY different from advertised. Again tonight, they have been SO busy with a group, bla bla bla...All I wanted is a Black Forest dessert (wich was a dry last time) & a double café brésilen. How hard is that, missing an EASY $40...But they do not care.

J'y vais très souvent. Tout ce qui est au menu est excellent.
Ils ont aussi un menu du jour avec de nouveaux plats.
Prix variés. Les portions de pâtes sont très généreuses.
Notre troisième visite à ce restaurant & comme à chaque fois ce fut une expérience parfaite. Le chef réussit les pâtes à la perfection. À répéter sans modération :)
